THURSDAY. July 30.
Butter and Checse.-Butter. The demand
has been quite moderate for all kinds under
the hest grades, which are in rather light
supply and readily command our highest fig
urrs. Common and medium grades move
slowly, and prices are somewhat in buyers
favor. At the close there is more inquiry
for fine grades, but the market generally
rules quiet. We quote: New York and
Vermont choice and extra, per lib. % to 29c;
fair to good % to 25c; common 90 to 22c;
Western choice "a to 26c; fair to good 20 to
23c; common II to lSc; bakers l6 to 1885,.

pathy with an Improvement in New York,
and sales OF choice Vermont factory have
been made ut ~ TO l2Ac, and choice Ohio ut
II to llIc per Id. The stock here is not large,
aud with good export demand in New
York, present prices arc likely to be main
tanned.
Flour aud Grain.-The market for flour
remains dull and without Improvement, the
trade purchasing only in small lots rs want
ed, and we cannot look for much activity I'M
