WEDNESDAY. Nov. A.
Butter and Checse.-Butter. Fine fall New
York and Vermont sells readily mt 80 to 40c
per Id, and the indications are that this grade
will hold steady mt these figures. Coed to
choice SUNNI or dnries have been selling
from "a to SIC per ID, but SIC is an extreme
price for diaries. as buyers, after passing fall
tubs are unwilling to give over 35 to Soc.
Western has arrived moro freely, but mostly
of II poor quality, and sells slowly ut % to
SOC per ID, occasional lots of fine at "a to Soc.
We hear of sales of bakers butter Mt 20 to
23c per 10, and the indications are that the
lower grades will be more plentiful the re-
mainder of the season. We quote: New
York and Vermont, fine fall, per lib, 80 to
4Oc; choice diaries, SO to SIC: fair to good,
80 to 35c; common, 30 to 32c; Western,
choice fall, 81 to 36c; fair to good, 81 to 32c;

Cheese. There is no change to report in
prices, except that holders arc not so ex-
IRENE in their views rs last week. We re-
tain l6Ic us an outside figure for choice fac
tory, but very little has been sold the past
week mt over Ice per lb, and Is to l6c is Il
fair range for most of the sound cheese sell
ing to the trade.

! Flour and Grain.-Flour. The market
| continues exceedingly dull and receivers
have no alternative but to store the bulk OF
| the large receipts, AS sales could not be
| forced even mt what would he considered
low prices. While flour is being forced on
the market in such large quantities, we can
not look for Il favorable change. Joboers
are purchasing only in small lots to keep mp
ASSIGNMENTS, and the demand is almost eX-
| clusiyely for n few leading brands OF white
wheat and the patent Minnesota brands that
have become such fIvorites with the trade
| The sales of fancy Minnesota brands have
been at SO to 10 per Dbl, including good and
very choice from 50 TO 10 per Dbl; white
wheat st. Louis has been sold at So to b, iol
medium and choice, and few hVorite
brands mt So So white wheat Illinois from
SO to 7; and Ohio indiana and Michigan ut
s.. IS to $50 per bill, the latter being AN out
side figure for the most desirable brands on
the market, with few exceptions. In bakers
extras the sales have been at 5000 TO o'sO
for Minnesota and S5.25 TO 5.75 for Wlscon,
sin. Low grades range from S475 to 5.2s
per Dbl for Western common extras, and VI
TO so for supers.
