LITTLE FAILS, May g.
With much less cheese offered than was
marketed Tor the CORES pOnding W. eks Of
1883 and 1884, and prices two to three cents
lower, dairymen very naturally are showing
unusual solicitudc as to the prospect of their
staple product. Statesmen flnd considerable
difhculty in placing their cheese ut pri cs they
consider nigh enough, aud as ON the previous
SalcS days much OF the stock went forward on
commission. The transactions made are as
follows Forty-cight boxes at ice 50 boxes

UTICA, n! Y, May 8. 1886.
The market was very tame until late in the
AFTERNOON. ii was understood that the ruling
price would be the sarue as last week. but the
ianclcs were not SO strong. Qntl nearly six
O'Clock it was thought that 16c would be
the top. Then it leaked out that few lots
had exceeded that price. Fine Che"s D.. in fact,
seemed to be IN good demand, ANA there is no
reason why they should not be and
IN re IS room for that class OF goods. The
MAKE IN the country is not running heavy, us
VIII he seen BY comparison with last ear, to
be found below. The factories have quite rs
many cows, and in some instances even more,
nut their make is thus far lighter A few
cows were turned out by this time year
ago.
