sIowly-Livc Stock Quotations.
Boston, May ga steadier tone has
been developed in the general butter
market, and basis for speculative OPP
erations seems to be established. Up
ward OF 1900 tubs were put into cold
storage last week, and this week several
carloads are going direct to the ware
house without being offered for sale.
These movements, with the large sales
reported in the country. show that deal
ers are buying for future wants, and Il
Is reasonable to assume that prices have
touched the lowest point for the present. |
The quality of the receipts is now very
fine, and 1t will probably continue so all
through June. The general opinion here
is that prices arc full high enough.
There continues to be a quiet market
for cheese. Choice new stock is not
coming along to any extent. and tho
small lots here rule at to cents. Ola
stock holds at to 9h cents. as to quail
ity, and the best is pretty well sold out.
Tho amount Of fodder cheese made this
season is smaller than usual.
Receipts of eggs have dropped OF and
new arrivals. Fresh western sold read
ily at II to 11la cents, with special marks
Of Michigan and Indiana al II cents. To
bring the outside price. lots must DC
carefully selected and entirely free from
all defects. Most of the poor stock Is
out of the way, and with light receipts
better prices may be obtained.
No Improvement can be reported in
beans. Demand continues light, and
sales of choice marrow pea and medium
run along on basis OF SLIP to s1.15 per
bushel for large lots. Best yellow eyes
are slow at ST. 10 to 1920 and red kidneys
at 81 to sl10.
Old potatoes move off slowly. and %
! to % cents per bushel is the highest
rate for choice eastern. New potatoes
from the south are getting plentiful, and
will soon take the place of old. Sales at
: 81 to S3.50 per barrel Large quantities
of new vegetables are on the market.
I Strictly choice old hay Is scarce and
s21 to 1922 per ton can be obtained for the
right kind from New York state. Very
little eastern commands over sls. Rive
straw has been advanced to s25 per ton.
