BUTTER.-A fairly seasonable business
has been in progress, but there is no snap to
the trade. Although some butter is going
for this purpose, the movement of butter
into cold storage is about over. The de-
mand is fair, and as the supplies of good
butter are not large prices are not only un-
changed, but they are maintained at our
quotations. We quote extra Northern cream
cry at p to DC extra Western creamery at
20 to Ole, choice do at Is to l9c, the finest

meal S24.0O TO S24.25 per ton.
FLoUR.-The wants of the trade are small,
and no one will buy -four if he can get along
without it. The feeling seems to be that
values will rule lower as soon as new flour
| begins to arrive, and dealers are basing their
purchases upon this supposition. Carload
lots of fine flour are selling at $40 to $500,
superine at 50 to $3.50, common extras at
$500 to $500, Michigan roller at $40 to
