The Markets.

has recovered from it's depression of last
week and appears to be on the way to
strength and activity In the west an
advance of Y to l cent is reported, and
New York, which led in the break, has
gained l cent with good trade.
Our trade shows a moderate increase
and receipts are moving off more freely,
though there is still surplus of under
grades, Strictly fine lots of creamery
are Well sold up, and as both western
and northern supplies will reveal more
grass flavor from this time forward it
is safe to conclude that the lowest point
has been touched for the present.
The very low prices of last week, al
though rather severe on country ship.
pers and dealers who had stocks on
hand, induced a large demand and en-
abled receivers to clean up better than
for several weeks previously. This has
cleared the way for the new make, and
has put the market in a good condition
for the opening of the new trade year.
No improvement in demand or price
can be reported in the cheese market
Buyers operate only in a small way, and
sales of choice fall run along at from
to 10 cents. Early make is slow of sale
at Z to cents. The stock is small but
holders are anxious to clean up before
factories begin on new stocks.
CHEESE AND EGGS.
1t is generally understood that the
factories here and in Canada will oper
ate very lightly on fodder cheese, ano
this will help dealers to get rid of thei
old stock before much grass make
ready for market. The Canadians have

land and they are now calling for low
prices on the new make.
