CHEEsE.-While the tone of the mark ct
should be stronger owing to stronger out
side advices, the Boston trade seems to re-
spond very slowly to the influence brought
to bear. We quote good to choice Vermont

BUTTER.-There has been a good demand
for extra grades of butter during the week

FLoUR.-The market continues in a very
firm position and the general tendency
seems to be to put up prices still further.
Buyers are still disposed to hold back at the
extreme views of the mills, but are slowly
working up to those figures as they stand in
need of supplies. Carload lots of fine f1oul
are selling at s.. 40 to 1913, superfne at 50 u
