WEDNESDAY. June l6.
Butter and CheeSe.-The supply of really
fine butter has barely been enough for the
demand and our top prices are sustained,
but there has been u liberal supply of other
kinds, and for grades Under the best there is
I'M easier feeling, with indications of lower
range of prices. The sales of New York and
Vermont choice diaries have been mostly mt
81 to CSC, with fine lots of grass made at 29c
per Id, and fair to good at % to 25c. West
ern is coming in more freely and in better
order. and will have an important influence
on the market, as some of it is fully ms good
rs New York or Vermont. Extra lots have
been sold mt 27c, but we hear of other choice
lots selling ut "a TO 26c, and buyers expect
soon to get all they want at 90 to 25c per Id.
Inferior grades continue scarce, and l9c is
the lowest price at which sales have been
made.
Cheese. Prices of choice factory have set
tied down &c per Id, and l5c is now the out
side for round lots, with fair to good Mt Is to
de- There continues to be fair demand

Flour and Grdin.-Thero is no improve
ment In the flour movement. Trade contin-
ues unusually dull, jobbers purchasing only
