Butter and Ctecsc--Thcre is only mod
crate supply Of really choice butter and
prices are we'll sustained, but medium and
common grades have accumulated and II is
difficult to place lots except Mt some cOnces-
sion. We notice sales Of New York and
Vermont diaries ut 81 To 29c per H. and iinO
lots readily command 29c ut the close. Fair
to good lots move slowly mt "a to 20c, and
come into competition with Western OF the
same grade, which sells mt lower prices.
Choice lots Of Western will command PC to
27c, but most of tho receipts tho past two
weeks have been Of an inferior quality and
range from IL to 25c per Id.
Cheese. The receipts for tho past week
have been 6,007 boxes, which give full sup
ply, and tend to weaken prices. The sales
have been principally at Ia to lac per ID for
choice Ohio factory, with nm occasional fine
lot from Vermont ut n higher range. but l4Ac
Is all the market will bear for round lots of
any kind ut the close.
Flour and Grdin.-Flour. The advices
from abroad are uniavOrable, crop prospects
are promising, and jobbors are only carrying
small stocks In anticipation of lower prices.

quito limited, and interior trade falls short Of
expectation. The sales of fancy MINES sofa

: Some of the large mills sent out buyers
into the country, and prices have in conse

the demand and the price OF manufactured
; goods will sustain. There Is every probable

the depressed state of the goods market fol
r q long time past has placed limit on manu-
flcturers' resources, and 1t is believed tha
after tho wants of the buyers DOW in the in
terror are satisfied, for at most they can pur
D chase but small per centage OF the clip, the

The fall trade may bring higher prices, il
there proves 10 be good demand for goods
