Butter. The market hats been in II tlroop-
ing condition and further concessions have
been made to effect sales. Although prices
range from to Sc per lib lower than last
year, buyers continue to hold off, taking only
sma supplies to last them from week to
week, and we look for no animation until
prices have touched bottom. Some holders
seem confident that a reaction is near ut
hand and are not pressing sales, while 9th
ers are sun anxious to reduce stock ut any
reasonable offer. The sales have been most
y ut 80 to 3lc. including fair to good New
York and Vermont, with occasional choice
lots ut 80 to Soc; none can be sold ut oyer
35c except some fancy lots which are very
scarce. Western Is coming in freely and
selling at 25 tO 3lc, and very little eau he
sold at over SOC. There has been II sale of
100 tubs Canada butter at 33c, and this is
now considered II fair price for good quality.
The above sales show that fair to choice lots
OF butter have settled down 10 25 to SOC per
ID, which is II decline of 10 Sc since the
first of january.

ket for cheese, with u steady demand from

and stocks are steadily decreasing.

WOot.-Ihere is Il quiet tone to the wool
market, but the transactions have been much
larger than we expected, and when we con-
sld"r the amount OF machinery stopped on
account of the scarcity of water, the business
of the week has been quite satisfactory
WIN good january thaw it is evident man
utacturerS would have to purchase quite
freely, ami the prospects of the trade are
quite encouraging. There is not that BUOY
ant feeling noticed some weeks ago, but In
"i Di""CHcS vi truue inc movement Is quite
slow, and since the opening of the new year,
business generally has failed to come up to
expectation.
In prices no change of any Importance
On quiet market there is always u little
shading TO effect sales and the past week has
not been an exception Ohio and Pennsyl-
wanna tleeces, XX and above, have been
sold ut 81 to 55c, and the latter Is now an
extreme price for this description. Michi-
gan and Wisconsin heeces have been sold ,t
40 to SIC.
Combing and delaine fleeces are still
sought after and command full prices, rang
ing from SO to 64c per Id. There is not much
offering and the sales of this description are
limited on account of tho small stocks.
