BUTTER. The market is irmer and
higher. Not that we can advance quotations
any, but the outside figure of nc which we
said last week was an extreme quotation for
fancy New England creamery, and not rea-
lized for large lots. is now All established
quotation and is readily obtained in strictly
wholesale for the best gradeS.of goods. Much
excellent creamery, however, is selling nt

crn creamery, not strictly line, in hardwood

BEEF.-Thc beef men are grumbling to
an unusual extent but quotations are nomi-

scarce and cost as much as heretofore: but
prices are weaker on lower grades and those

take almost any price.

CHEESE.-The cheese trade is slow but
holders continue to have hopeful feeling

will be wanted before there is much new to
take its place although cheese is not as yet
paying any profit to those who have carried
it through the winter. stocks are being

EGGS.-The past week has witnessed one
OF the worst crashes in the egg market that
we have ever reported and prices are from
&c to SC lower than week ago, being an
average drop Of about one cent day. Con
fdence has not been fully established an d
there Is no knowing whether the bottom
has been touched vet or not 1t Is
needless to say that there nave
been SOM heavy losses made dur
Ing the week. Receipts are large aud in
creasng, but hardly enough to explain the
present condition Of things. Almost any
one could run the risk OF prophesying that
a reaction must set in heforc long and prices
improve.

FLOUR AND MEAL.-The demand for
-four is moderate, and only for small lots for
immediate use. Large lots Could he moved
only by concessions. Some of the mills have
been able to sell -four at cost, because of the
good prices for feed. The easing off of the
latter is likely to cause flour to be tirmer.
