Late Dairy Markets.

The receipts for the past week, in the
Boston produce market, have been 304
boxes: There has been very small sup
ply of cheese during the week 14@14tc
per pound have been readily paid for choice
old factory, with some fancy lots at 15c.
New cheese is in request, and choice full
cream would command 13!@14c, and per-
haps more, but 30 far only very small lots
have been received. Several consignments
are now on the way. The market at Utica
and Little Fails, N. Y, opened on Monday,
and the offerings were quickly disposed Of
at ID t@14c for best factory, and 13@13tc
for best dairy. The indications are favor
able for full prices, and with more stock
we shall probably have good business.
The Utica market Monday again exhibi-
ted marked difference from that of the
corresponding day last year. A year ago
the offerings were but 1850 boxes, many
of them not of the best quality. The Of
ferings Monday were less than those last
week, but they nevertheless reached the
encouraging number of 5000 boxes. Last
year the price for choice was lie for lead
ing factories, 10sc; the average being 1O8c.
Monday the prices of all grades showed
considerable advance, not only on those fig
ures but also on the liberal prices of last
week. The comparatively high figures OF
opening day and the decreased offerings, to.
gether with the still limited supply of cheese
in the hands of factorymen and the bare
market in New York, made sellers even
more cautious at the opening OF the market
than they were last week. This cautious
ness was strengthened by the fact that the
cheese offered was still of better quality
been as favorable for curing as the week
previous.
The temper of sellers was tested by offers
of 14c, at the opening of the market, but
the majority of them sagely shook their
head from right to left, and gradually the
offers were increased to 14tc, q quarter Of
a cent over last weeks highest figure. Tho
representative factories, however, hardly
nibbled at this price and finally l42c was
| freely offered for fine lots. In the mean
| time number of fair cheese had been
started at lac. About 500 cheese may
have been sold at this figure, one or two
lots of ordinary going as low as 1870.
| Hardly quotable lot of farm dairy brought
13tc, The lowest price for factory, how
ever, was properly 14c. Later than usual
in the day leading factories began to be dis
| posed OF, and were closed out rapidly. The
average range was from l8t@14ac. Ten
or dozen of the best factories, however,
reached 15c, AGENTS higher than the highest
price for the corresponding week last year.
All the offerings were disposed of, the
greater portion by direct sale, very few
going on commission. The market is likely
to run in favor of sellers for several weeks.

creased.
The little Falls market opened strong,
Monday, IA cents being freely offered.
Statesmen took this as very coed indiea.
ton that is cents, if not higher, would be
reached before the close, and therefore held
of for IL cents almost unanimously. The
buyers offered to meet them half way and
pay l4t cents, but to no purpose. ThiI
continued most of the afternoon, salesmen
remaining firm and buyers beginning to
weaken, and in some cases Offering 14i
cents. At 4:30 p. m, kilograms were re.
ceived from two of the leading shippers Of
New York, directing their agents to pay nc
more than 144 cents. This broke the lock
and caused eight reaction, the bulk Of
cheese selling at l4t cents, and some lott
at 14s cents. Following is summary Of
the days transactions. The lots sold or
private terms undoubtedly brought no more
than l4a cents. The general impression
among statesmen Is that the market will be
