Late Dairy Markets.

CuEEsE.
Adyices from the chief seaboard market
agree in the announcement Of state of
trade which resulted inevitably from the
transactions in manufacture and sale Of tho
past six weeks. The new cheese forward
ed has been an uncertain article AT some
of the markets it has been entirely skim
med in varying degrees, at others there has
been mixture of whole milk and and
SKINNED cheese. Not more than half so
many boxes have been received in New
York to date this season as were received
last season. From the opening of manu-
facture the market has been uncertain,
owing TO the anticipation of the effect of
full cream cheese upon the market When it
should appear. This transition still con-
tnues. During the past week two-thirds
of the farmers have turned their herds into
pastures, which are fast recovering from
the effects of the unfavorable winter under
influence of the protracted and growing
May showers. Hence the buyers are upper
most ~ the struggle at the expert markets.
The daily market reports indicate the course
of trade last week. There was c slight
demand for the current Offering during the
first three days OF the week; but by Satur-
day the cable quotation fell and left the
market nearly stationary, with prospects Of
a frshening. Old cheese holds only nom-
inal position in the market. For new full
cream the extremes varied from II a IL.
We believe 11ic. TO be fair top quotation
ct New York The comparative meager-
ness of the supply can scarcely fail to cause
tendency - advance upon tue receipt of
grass cheese. A Every unsettled and irreg-
ular condition 10 reported at Boston. No
old factory is available, and new cheese"
has no established value because the quail
ty continues very poor, and quotations are
nominal" The quotations rendered by G..
G. Chamberlain G. Co. for new are a 10c.

The foreign demand, then, is not marked:
the storage of new cheese at New York IS
unusually slight for the season, and its
quality renders its sale sluggish new
cheese from Canada and the west has not
yet begun to arrive; production ia the in
terror may now be said 10 be fairly resumed
for the season.
The Utica market opened with trade of
marked animation. There was but slight
increase in the number of factories repre-
sented, owing to the extremely inclement
weather. But the usual company of buy
ers was present, and the making Of ad-
vanced bids began early in the day. And
although there were as yet but few causes
for the feverish briskness which arose, the
bidding was unexpectedly frequent before
the close Of the day. Tho cheese offered
was of better quality than any Previous
cheese sold this season. The opening Of
fere 10I@llc., and several lots were sold
at less Then lie. But 'run" was started
by two buyers and all other serious trade
ceased for the time being. One of these
buyers bought according to instructions
from London and Glasgow houses. The bid
ding soon sent prices above any rate which
the market could bear, and other buyers de-
serted the field. The normal transactions,
however, denoted an advance of full &c
since last week. The record of transactions
is as follows There were offered 1850
boxes of cheese, representing 81 factories.
The average offering of each factory was
80 boxes. The number of lots sold aggre-
gated 81, or 1900 boxes. The remaining
800 boxes were chiefly held for another day.
Oh those lots sold, few struggling lots at
tanned lOtc; five lots were sold at lie ;
one at l4c four at 11lc five at lee
one at 128c and one at 123c. Thus it will
be seen that the range of prices was wide.
According to these transactions the extreme
price would be 1916, and the average price
about lee, This, however, is evidently
out Of proportion with the actual state of
trade. We, therefore, quote Extreme
price, 12c; leading factories, l13c; aver
age l19c.
There have been no important changes
in The butter trade, the tendency having
been, however, toward a slight decline. A
transition state similar to that in cheese is
now in progress. The advent of grass but
ter from the creameries is awaited. A bet
Ter article, both as regards color and quail
iiy is expected; meanwhile there will lie
little certainty in quotations. Few dairy
men now feed their herds, and grass butter
may be expected soon. Concerning the
New York trade, the f'r0ducers' Price Cur
rent says
Receipts for the week, 3,9l9 packages
last week, $4,000 packages. The market
for state butter has been, on the whole, no
more than steady. Yellow tubs have been
in good request aud where receivers have
been willing to allow buyers 10 select them
from invoices they have sold up to 28c.,
for half-hrkins and 26Ic., or rarely &c,
for Welsh tubs. But those figures can not
be named as invoice prices, for the in
voices are not running uniformly yellow;
they contain mixed and light-colored pack
ages which reduce their average value. A
few yellow state firklns have arrived and
for the first few 3lc., were obtained. The !
demand for state butter has been fair from |
nearly all sources of trade the eastern de- |
rnand however shows some falling off. |
Dairy pals arc still under the influence of |
the full supply of tubs which grocerymen
