PRODUCE
There has been nothing new of essential I'M
portance developed in the market for butter
during the week that has just passed. There
has been but little disposition shown to make
any extensive purchases of the lower grades
and considerable more caution was exhibited
on the part of shippers and parties
who buy for the purpose of r6-pack-
ing. The few buyers on the market,
owing to the unfavorable advices from the
East were endeavorng to purchase at shaded
prices, but the stock on our market was very
meager and these reports had no apparent
effect on the market. The better grades of
butter have met with good local inquiry. and
the receipts were barely sufficient to supply
the trade. There was no change of conse-
quence in prices, the prime grades being very
firm, and the lower qualities were steady at the
decline noted in our reviews of the previous
week. One of the principal reasons for the
stock now on the market is that
dealers in the Ease have used every
eAdeavor to induce w estern shippers and dealers
to consign their shipments to their markets,
and a good many lots have in this manner
passed direct to the seaboard The European
uU.
this being about the only outlet for butter in
the Eastern markets. the consequence is that
the above mentioned markets have had surplus
supply, and prices are at the present time lower
than in this market. On the other hand the
outlets from this market are quite numerous.
There has been a good trade with Southern
points during the season, and large amount
has been shipped to the numbering districts.
Exporters also find it to their advantage
to make purchases at this market,
as the rates of freight and the con-
nections are such as to form healthy COM
petition with the Eastern markets. Dealers
here in anticipation of more liberal receipts
are keeping their stocks well closed out and
the market was never in better condition for
| the receipt and handling of consignments
