tlnues falrly active In all lines, there ue-
Ing no radical change to be recorded from
last weeks statements Butter buyers are
somewhat uncertain of what to expect
from the present conditions. Their trans
actions are always based on the amount OF
stock In cold storage, this acting as sort
of a basis on which to operate, and any
movement Of cold stored butter is watched
closely by spectators. At the present
time tie number Of packages in the
Quincy house is about 5000 in excess Of a
year ago.
At that time, however, there were In
small houses outside this large house at
least 1900 tubs, while to-day nothing Of
any account can be found outside tho
Quincy house. From this IL will be ap-
parent that there is really a large decrease
this year In the amount Of butter in cold
storage This fact, together with a lack
of receipts of fresh made butter, calls
forth the prediction that the near future
will see a rise In the price of fresh as well
AS stored butter, with an increased de-
mand for the new product. At the pres
ent time fresh northern creamery butter is
selling at from "a to .S cents, fresh dairy

from 26 60 20 l-2 cents.
The -&&pplo Trade
this season will be as a fee bite TO the
transactions OF previous years, owing to
the small crop all over the country. At
this time the expectation OF American
apples to European countries should have
reached high proportions were apples
plenty, but as IL Is during the past week
the magnificent amount OF 1913 barrels
were sent out~f the United States, while
last years figures for the same week were
60.6sO barrels, showing decrease OF 81, ,762
barrels.
Prices for the best Baldwin and Green
Ing apples at Boston are from 81 30 to 80
per borrel in large lots.

both in demand and receipts A 10pound
