The Market.

plentlful and is little Steadier, but on
the other hand grades just under fine are
more plentiful, and are offered at some
concessions. The average price is about
the same.
Receipts are showing a larger proper
ton of defective lots at least SO buyers
claim, and the services of the inspector
are often required to decide upon the
grade. AS usual at this time of year
buyers have become quite critical, and
they notice defects which would be
passed at other times.
Therefore, while strictly fine or fancy
lots, as they now are called, meet with
ready sale, the general tone of the mar
ket is slow and unsatisfactory, because
the bulk of the receipts are not what the
trade want, and they have either to be
forced off at easier prices or put into cold
storage.
With the liberal stocks on hand, this
condition of affairs is not to be wondered
at, and it is likely to continue until re-
ceipts fall off, or until there is a larger
foreign output. There was fair de-
mand for export, but advices this week
are less favorable for shipments.
The leading exporter in this market
says he could find buyers for more Amer
lean butter in England if his advice in
regard to style of packing, coloring and
sailing was more generally needed. AS
a rule, he says, our butter is too highly
colored and sailed to suit the best trade
In Liverpool and London, and he is doing
all he can to make change. He be-
lieves the time is coming when large
portion of our creamery will be con-
sumed in England Exports last week,
80, 744 pounds, against S4,9S5 pounds cor
responding week last year.
There are no new features to note in
the cheese situation. Large buyers
seem to take no interest, and trade here
is very slow. For the best northern, z
to IA cents is a top quotation. and it
would be hard to sell round lot over
cents, if at that figure.
