substantiates the remarks made in last week,
viz: That the trade had turned to the good

CHEESE-SoIne dealers report ffrner tone
While the tone is no doubt steadier, yet we
fail to find firmer feeling on the part of
holders, for large buyers are not allowed to
pass if prices within the quoted range will in
duce them to buy. The market is quoted as

SGS1@c; good to choice, 755@Sc; fair to good
Slightly more.
