BUTTER.-A year ago when the new
season opened there were upwards of ten
thousand tubs OF held butter in cold storage.
Now the supplies are nearer one-third than
half OF that amount, and for the most part
belong TO small dealers. This fact, with
light receipts. has given the market better
tonc the past week, and buyers, though still
cautious, are making more purchases than
for the last few weeks. The accumuations
which had begun to collect are now disap-
pearing; but prices are the same as last
week Twcnty-eight cents is the EXTREMIST
price for fancy New England creamery, and

CHEESE. Cheese continues in the same
position as heretofore noticed. Trade is
dull. but holders feel confident and make 10
concessions, believing that all the goods

BEEF.--Fresh beef is firmly held, but the
dealers are complaining terribly of duh bust
ness. The Western shippers are not sending
as much to the market as they have been,
hoping by shortening the supplies to brace
up prices. A few choice steers will bring Ste

EGGS The egg market Is weak and
prices are between one and two cents lower
than week ago. There is only fair de-
mand but II is liable to increase as Lent has
begun. We find some dealers, however,
who do not base a. high anticipations of a
booming trade through Lent as they used to.
They say that the church is Getting so liberal
in the matter Of dispensations for so many
different causes, that the increased demand
for eg,s throughout the Lenton season is
