Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1875-11-04


twenty factories were represented,
whose offerings aggregated about 1900
boxes. Many factorymen neglected %
attend the market, owing 20 the in-
clement weather. But little business
vas done before S o'clock. Although II
was evident prices would not fall much
below those of last week, yet depress-
ing advices from New York rendered
offers few and unenthusiastic. Offers
OF l34c were readily made for Septem.
Der cheese, and for the best grades 1S4c
was refused. The actual transaction Of
the day were less than upcn any day
during the season. There were sold
$50 boxes, the product of 10 factories.
Of these, the larger number Of lots
were sold at 13c. We quote: Extreme
price, 1870; average price, iSc.
The recent snow storms have forced
dairymen to house their herds and feed
them hay. This is especially true In
northern Herkimer county, where the
snow is said to be ten inches deep on q
level. As is customary from the latter
part of October until the close
of the season, nearly all factorymen
have ceased to send their milk to the
factory evenings and have begun to
skim their nights milk. The rich prop
critics of the September and October
milk, which renders this mornings
skimming possible, without lesseniDg
the quantity Of cheese product, Is par
ticularly noticeable this season. But
the present SHOWS viii render future
pasturage ia the aftermath of little val
ne, and many dairymen win feed their
stock at the farm yard and barn hence
forth. The make now chiefly Ii hand
is October cheese, though not all the
September cheese is closed out.
The offering Of farm dairy was mea-
gre, aggregating about two hundred
boxes. Sales were made ct prices rang
ing from 194913c.
The receipts in the Boston produce
market for last week were 9,E9j boxes
and 81 tons. The total receipts for Oc-
tober have been 80, 489 boxes ard III
tons, against 1914 boxes and % tons
for the same period last year. There ls
a liberal stock on the market and buyers
have been holding of, in anticipation Of
easier prices The sales have been prin-
cipally at 12@13tc per h., but 49, Is
considered a high price and it Is difficult
to find buyers for most of the stock
here at over 13c per ID. Fancy makes
of September cheese might bring a little
over our quotations, but holders are not
offering to any extent.
BUTTER.
The receipts in the Boston produce
market for last week foot up 1892
packages, against 1888 packages for
the corresponding week last year, and
-, 389 packages in 1873. The total re-
ceipts during October foot up 6S. 1903
packages against 81, 1856 packages for the
month last year. The
market has ruled dull during the week,
with a disposition on the part of holders
to meet buyers views, and prices may
be quoted 1@2c lower than two weeks
ago, although there has been scarce
" enough doing 10 establish rates.
The finest fall lots Of Yer
mont have been sold at 33@35c per 10.
bat very little Of this kind is coming In.
and at the close 94c IS considered high
enough to quote for straight lots of fall.
Most of the stock here consists Of New
York and Vermont, good to choice dair-
les, which range from 28030c per Ii.
4 few diaries, with some fall tubs have
brought Bic, but this is now an extreme
price, and SOC is the highest we can
quote for the best. Plenty Of good dair-
los can be bought at 23c, but buyers are
not willing 10 give even this price, and
If trade does not soon start up, a fur
Their settling down will be necessary 70
move stock. Fair to good Western but
ter has been selling q. 20925c, aud oc-
casional lots Of dairy packed Brought %
&29c, bal ct the close it would be diff
cult to sell any kind Of Western, EXCEPT
at over 23c. There is no
Of inferior butter, and We
hear of nothing except occasional sm5yi
lots Of bakers selling under zoe per ID.
The St. Albans butter market, On
Tuesday, was dull, with very little de-
n, and a decline on last weeks quota
ions of about &c. Common to fair
sold at 15G1Sc; medium to good, 200
&c; prime fall butter, 25a29c; selec-
ions, 3OG32c, most of the transactions
It 3Oc. A few tubs of extra choice but
er sold as high as 33c. but these were
exceptions, and hardly sufficient to
make a quotation.
In the Little Falls market a few pack
.ges of butter sold at 31@323c, on Mon
lay.
