Butter and ChceSe.--The market sustans
the improved tone noticed early in the week,
and for some fine lots I'm advance of lc per
lii has been obtained. This improvement is
based on the light supply of Western, but it
is not likely to be permanent, as increased
receipts are expected next week. when prices
may fall off again. The sales of New York
and Vermont diaries have been principally
ut 26 to 2Sc, with few very choice lots mt
29c per 10. Western has ranged mostly from
"a to 26c, with occasional lots ut 27c per Id.
Low grades are scarce and lots offered Mt
bakers prices are quickly disposed of
There has been good demand for cheese,
and prices are maintained, but only fancy,
well cured lots will now command l6c, most
of the sales having been ut from IA to l51c
per ID. In New York there is an easier ten
dency, and with more liberal receipts, u set
Ting down in prices y.be looked for. rs
current rates are fully lc per Id higher than
mt this time last year.
Flour and GrdiH.-There is no improve
ment in the flour market and the trade still
continues very dull and unsatisfactory. The

quality, the latter price for choice brands.

brands, have been selling mt 81 to 10; Illi-
