BUTTER.-The market is about where 1t
was week ago SO far as prices are con
cerned, but with firmer and better feeling.
The dealers have generally made up their
minds tha: the risk is too great to put away
a great deal in cold storage Storing butter
in June at first cost OF Zoe |. risky for the
operators. but il will benefit the farmers,
and the operators may possibly get out all
right. Yet in spite Of the risk every dealer
wants to store little, and this aggregate
makes an improved demand. The receipts
are increasing as the feed in pastures is now
improving with warm weather. Prices are
hard TO quote lCCausc they are not thor
oughly established, aud while there is good
feeling all round there Is something Of n
disposition to cut rates in some quarters, so
that prices are less uniform.

California blucberries and few crates {
Florida peach have been offered durin
the past week. Many Of the oranges in tn

this vicinity. The supply of lemons is shoi
and II the hot weather continues the price
