The Boston Market.

The most significant feature of the
butter market this week is the advance
of 30 cents per pound in Elgin, owing
to light receipts and an increased trade.
No such advance can be quoted here,
but there has been more inquiry for fresh
stock the past two days, and the tenden-
cy is to firmer rates. 1t is no more than
reasonable to expect that after the very
light business of the preceding two weeks
buyers would be more disposed to oper-
ate, and we may be able to report some
activity before the present week closes.
Receipts of fine fresh creamery have fall
ep off considerably and those who want
this grade must be prepared to pay "A
higher price for it. Most of the New
York creameries are closed, and only a
run during the winter. The bulk of the
fresh supplies will come from the West,
and the cost there must control to a
great extent the price here. Held stock
is in liberal supply both here and in New
York, and this will have tendency to
prevent any material rise in values, par
ticularly while the demand from abroad
shows no signs of Improvement. So
that, while fine fresh stock will probably
take a higher range, there is not much
chance for anything like a boom in sum-
mer stock.
Current prices in this market have not
changed very much from last week.
Some of the fancy makes of Vermont
creamery were marked up to 30 cents
per pound yesterday in round lots, and
to 80 cents in small way to grocers.
Elgin and other Western fresh stock of
that grade will also be run up to 30 and
30 cents, but for the great bulk of the
receipts this week 26 TO % cents is a full
range. Plenty of second grade fresh
butter is Offering at "a to % cents. Held
stock has been selling moderately at 20
to % cents, and some is held higher.
From this time forward very little will
be done in Northern dairy. The few Sc
lections this week sell at "a to % cents,
but for most OF what is likely To come in
20 to % cents is all that can be quoted.
Common stock at from ii to Is cents Is
rather quiet.
In EIgin, Ill.,, butter was reported ac-
tive at 291a cents, sales Of l4,760 pounds.
The price for two or three weeks previ-
Gus was 81 cents. year ago the price
was % cents
St Alhans, v. Nov. 13-Butter quiet
general price 81 to % cents, selections %
to "a cents and fair to good Is to 20
cents.
Eggs are about the quickest article on
the market Fresh Eastern command 26
to q cents and some fancies go off at %
to 80 cents. Michigans rule at 60 to go
