BUTTER-There is an excellent demand for
fresh roll Butter, and prices show marked
steadiness. The general tone of the situation is
much in favor of sellers, but it is doubtful if
prices were asked. Occasionally sales are
made at 26c for brands that buyers insist ON in
preference TO other offerings claimed to be
equally as good but trade at the advanced
price is not general enough to justify the figure
as a representative quotation. Most of the But
ter coming forward is reported to be of good
quality. We quote prices as follows:
Fancy, 25c; good TO choice, 23G24c; common,
1)lloDr. Eastern. lTI02lc q ID,
CHEESE-Supplies are becoming somewhat
large, while buyers do not respond as readily as
dealers would desire. As a consequence, there
is some accumulation of stocks, while values
are on the down grade. Strictly choice quail
ties are not largely represented in the Offerings
We quote prices as follows ;o1 Goo9 TO to
ern, ordinary to fine, l0@l6c q ID.
EGGS-There is an easy tone to the market
Arrivals of domestic product are not heavy,
but, with the added receipts of Eastern there is
more than enough stock to meet immediate
wants. The imported article is fine in quality
and therefore causes close competition. We
quote California &c for select ranch, and 10
@20c z dozen for store lots Eastern, l7@lec Z
dozen.
WOOI-Small lines have been taken by
couple of buyers for shipment East, with a view
to test the market. Otherwise there Is no trade.
The latest news from Eastern eenters IS said by
dealers to be less encouraging than for years
past AS q consequence it is expected that
trade at all points will be slow and on low
basis until something unforeseen creates
change for the better Receipts of new spring
are coming forward constantly, so that in a
short while stocks will be of rather respectable
proportions. COnsignments are placed in ware
house to await more active market We give
asking prices for new spring as follows:
San joaquin and Southern, "a b..............11@l5c
Foothill
MEAT MARKET-There is a fairly steady
tone to Beef, as receipts are not quite so free.
Mutton is in good supply, with prices shaping
favorably for buyers. Lamb makes good rep
resentation, finding quick custom. Follow
