The market con tinues steady at prices that
have prevailed for several weeks past, and
receipts are liberal. The New York market Old
saturday last is reported as follows by the
Commercial Bulletin:
Buyers come forward in a som ewhat irregu-
lar manner, and while one dea er will be found
reporting good fair business, or even cOnsid-
cradle activity, his ueighb )r is very apt Ie De

I'd, however, business is probably as active as
circumstances Will admit OF, and the tone on
values Is pretty strong. The accumulation of
probable that with a larger amount TO select
from, customt rs would be more plenty al
though the outlets which draw upon our mar
keJ are not at the moment consuming with
much freedom, and man ufacturers seem 10 pre-
fer the policy of allowing supplies to remain
in desle s. hands until there is a. chance to
durn them overiquickly. The opening o. the
fall trade REEVES the credit syste some
extent, and we find that the disposition IL 70
draw the line ABOUT as close as ever, another
point calculated To keep business within
somewhat narrow bounds. Ga the whole,
however, matters generally are In very fsir
shape, ana the disposition Is to look for i'm
provement rather than he contrary. Foreign
grades OF all kinds are only modera ely active
at the moment, clothing stock having 10 mar

who are either supplied with st OK or lud Or

BUTTER, EGGS AND POULTRY.
There is fair local demand for good butter,
and commission merchants are able to obtain
1t at from $4,000 per pound, but IL must be in
good packing and 1T for table use. Eggs are
very dull, &c per dozen being the current price
Poultry is In fair demand at our quotations.
The following shows The condition of the New
York market on Saturday last:
BUTTER. to-day, 4,69s pkgs. The
market Is pretty strong on ali hrst-class lots OF
state; and indeed the anxiety OF buyers IN :
duces the to pay ,ther more for the best Sc
lections of pals, some lots to the local trade
even tobbing out above SOC. Aside from this,
however, there Is no decided change. More or
less sy NJ pathv Il shown throughout the entire
market, but buyers are too particular as TO
quality To give receivers much advantage, and
former figures can not be exceeded. Western
creamery and choice dairy are still wanted
and sell QUICK at full rates when offer d, but
other grades are comparatively plenty, and
though meeting W tn fair demand ara some
what irregular on price. Common grades Of
Western, at bout lI9l41zc. are selling to a
considerab g ex cot TO packers. The export
call does not appear very active.
