CHEESE.

The receipts in the Boston produce mark
ct for the past week have been 1 $3.50 boxes
The market has been firm for cheese, with
not enough offering TO fully meet the re-
sold rapidly at l4@15c per pound, with
small lots of fancy at higher range. Fair
to good lots brought 12@l34c, and very lit
tie of any kind sold under 10c. The indi-
cations are favorable for quick market
and fall prices during the remainder of this
month.
The Utica market had decidedly down.
ward tendency Monday. Fully 5000 box
es were placed upon the market, and as the
afternoon waned without any sales and
scarcely an offer, it appeared that they
would remain there, at least as far as buy
ers were concerned. The latter ;temed to
be possessed with the conviction that the
present high prices must soon break, and
that they had better get on the right side in
time. The result was that the market was
barren of direct sales until o'clock. Then
a part of one factory sold for lac. Other
leading factories held TOR this figure for an
hour, but were finally compelled to accept
1876. Not over six factories received as
high as this. The majority of the buyers
made no direct purchases but took lots on
commission. At least 4 300 cheeses went
in this way, several leading factories being
among the number. The greater portion
also of sales on commission was without

All the offerings were disposed of in one
way or another, factorymen showing no
disposition to hold over in the face of pos
sibly another decline next week. Such q
decline, however, does not necessarily fol-

likely TO keep well up with the supply dur
ing tie rest of the month at least. Taking
guarantees for commission sales al direct
sales, we quote extreme prices at @l4c,
with 1890 for leading factories, and 1890
as the estimated average.
When the Little Falls market opened
Monday, farm dairy cheese, which sells
earlier in the day than factory, was pur-
chased as high as lac, and offers of the
same figure was made for factory. After

prices. Buyers made offers of 12!@13c,
and it seemed as if the bottom had dropped
out of the market The statesmen, misled
by the reports of sales of farms at lac early
in the day, held on very tenaciously, be-
lievipg there was combination among the
buyers. The fact was that some of those
who had made early purchases were not
posted as to the condition of the market.
Matters remained much the same until
p. M, when buyers began offering 13tc
for the finest, or agreed to take them con-
ditionally at "the top" of the market. Very
few cheese were sold before p. m. Then
statesmen generally sold at 1870, or allowed
their cheese to go on commission. With
the present large production and the pros
pect of hot weather, it did not look encour-
aging to hold for higher prices. A few of
the finest lots brought 1890, which will
have to be paid to all statesmen who sold
at "the top" The offerings were very
large, nevertheless a few lots went unsold
Buyers seem te anticipate lower prices next
week. Following is summary of the
