The Markets.

The Markets.
Boston, July S.-The butter market is
not quite as steady as last week, but the
range of prices is about the same. The
holiday incident to the celebration OF the
Fourth necesstated some accumula-
tons, and this week starts off rather
top heavy, but few holders are forcing
business, and stranger tone may be
developed later if trade improves.
Strictly fancy creamery is still held
with confidence, as the proportion OF
this grade in the receipts is likely to
decrease during July and August, and
Where there is any disposition to con-
cede it is on grades that are not fully
up in quality. But it is impossible to
predict What the future will bring forth.
The settling down of Y a cent in New
York is offset by the gain of " cent in
Elgin. Other outside markets hold about
the same position as last week.
Receipts last week for five days We're
1851 tubs and 22,940 boxes, total
weight of 2,052,231 pounds, the largest
weeks supply on record, beating the
week previous by $4,000 pounds. The
receipts for corresponding week last
year We're 1905, 4Z0 pounds. The flush
Of the make is now over, and some fall
ing in receipts may be expected, but sup
plies for Monday and Tuesday have run
large, and we may have another heavy
week. Exports last week were SO, $50
pounds, against AZ AIS pounds last year
No snap can be noticed in the cheese
market, and prices are barely main
tanned. Buyers seem to be perfectly
Indifferent and take only small lots for
current use. Choice northern rule at
to ~ outside for best twins. 1t would
be hard to get inside price on large lots.
Country markets are not as strong as
last week, but the sales reported show
no material change. At Little Falls,
n. Y, sales We're at GA to 65s cents.
Very little demand for export The
Montreal papers say that the cheese
market has "a black eye"
Strictly fresh eggs continue scarce,
and eastern are worth IA cents. Fancy
marks of Michigan command 1917 cents
but very few of this kind arriving. For
most of the western receipts II to Il
cents is a full rate. The stock in cold
storage, 80, 500 cases, against 1925 cases
same time last year.
Farmers are holding back their beans
not being willing to sell them at 81 pei
bushel but there is liberal stock here
and large buyers are not willing to pay
any more for choice mediums or marrow
pea. Small lots are selling at $1.05 tc
$110.
New southern potatoes continue In
large supply and sales were at 70 cents
to $l.25 per barrel.
