as their wants arise. The corner that thus virtu-
ally exists, with respect to the spot and nearby
supply is, however, the only element of strength
IN the present position, and IL is only question
OF time as to the continuance OF this artificial
condition OF affairs. For the present buyers are

layed Rio cables have been received, but the
situation there shows very little variation from
last week. The receipts continue phenominally

DC the pest informed. The position of the mar
ket for both butter and eggs remains unchanged;
increased receipts have had their effect in ar
resting the upward tendency, but prices are
steady as quoted. For fine ONO cheese the mar

prices easy but without quotsble change.
