weak. irregular and unsatisfactory condition.
Last week was reported that the advance had
been checked but that no reaction hal set in.
This week however, n setback can not be
denied there Is serious reaction with
prices disorRanLcd and lower. Butter ha.
been cheap for 4 year now Ahich has stimu-
loled CONSUMPTION to au unusual extent; but
when the retail price jumped at once to an ex-
rene of 10 cents, consumption fell OF rapidly,
! "lu ly hTlf say several large dealers. On
the Ut'.er hand, the consumption of oleo in.
creased. There is no permanent over-supply
aud that ordinary consumption would call
for ali tie receipts as they arrive from day
to day The western markets are lower than
last week, but they have not fallen of rs
much ~ prices here In Boston.

the demand. and prices are frmer. The
demand, however, is quiet. The best Eastern

GRAIN. During the last week the mar
kets on grain have had reaction, prices de-
clIning or Sc per bushel on both corn and
oat,; but that state of things did not last
long, and prices advanced again so that the
present values arc higher than they we're last
week. The receipts Of grain at Chicago are
very light, and il they continue as at present
VIC shall probably nee still higher prices,
with very little chance for decline.
