WEDNESDAY, March IS.
Butter and CheeSe.-Our butter market has
been slightly disturbed by a reported weak
ness in New York, and buyers have been
less inclined to operate, but the sales have
been mt full previous prices, and the few
holders here are not disposed 10 make any
concessions. The receipts are larger than
last week, but they comprise lots that were
known to be held back, and light supplies
are expected for some weeks TO come. The
market is almost wholly cleared of fine fall,
which we quote firm ut A to 45c. The sales
consist principally of choice diaries ut 40 to
43c, but very few lots are now here worth
over Acc, and common to good at IS to 39c
pr 10. We hear of few lots of common
Western selling ut 80 to 34c, but it is very
difficult to find anything under 35c. At the
close we notice rather weaker tone, and
buyers are holding of, and later reports state
that the market is weak and tending down
ward
A rather quiet tone has prevailed in the
cheese market during the week. and we
drop &c from our extreme quotations, which
we now place at l7ic, and ut the close no
ound lots can be sold Mt over lie, and from
that down TO l5c is the range for most of the
sales. We quote New York and Vermont
choice l64 to Ut; fair to good Is to l6.
