IN HUB MARKETS.
But Little Change Noted In the
Butter Trade.

Full Rates Looked For on September and
October Makes of Cheese-Potato Mar
ket Still Over Supplied.
BOSTON, Oct 23.-The butter market is
in about the same condition as last week,
locally considered. Fine fresh is pretty
we'll cleaned up, and while there is
rather slow movement owing to easy adj
vices from the west, prices as a rule are
maintained Small packages are little
more plentiful than week ago, but they
will probably all be wanted later.
Statistically viewed, the market shows
further improvement, and this gives
strong support to values. The cold stor-
age stock last week was reduced nearly
1900 tubs, and of that about 1000 tubs
were shipped to England. This is feat
ure worthy of special notice, because it
promises to give us an outlet for most of
our surplus butter.
The export movement extends to New
York and Montreal, and the quantity of
butter shipped from these three ports last
week aggregated 10000 tubs. The whole
country feels the beneficial effects of these
shipments, and if they continue for a few
weeks longer the future of the market for
the remainder of the season will be Sc
cured.
1T is not necessary to speculate on what
might have happened if the foreign de-
mand had not sprung up. The storm
cloud has been dispersed The heavy &C
cumulations are melting away, and the
trade can take new bearings for future
operations
Selling Prices.
The top rates of % to % cents are main
tanned on strictly fine northern in as
sorted size packages.
Fresh made dairy lots from Vermont
command IS to 10 cents, with 20 to 81 cents
for selections. But ordinary diaries take
a wide range as to quality, and for them
it is difficult to give reliable quotation.
Cheese.
Country markets show still higher
prices this week, and, while trade here is
slow to respond, receivers will be forced
put their prices on paying basis For
finest northern twins 1917 to II cents has
been the ruling price here, but III to u

large singles at 81 to 1917 CENTS and some

The stock here of fine cheese is light,
and receivers look for full rates in Septem-
Der and October makes. The stock of
early made cheese is still offered at COM
paratively low prices, but strong feeling
will probably soon be developed. The
foreign advices are more favorable, and an
export demand is soon expected.
