IN HUB MARKETS.
Butter Is Barely Steady, With
Trade Slow.

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 necessitated some accumula-
tions, and this week starts off rather
top heavy, but few holders are forcing
business, and a 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
here 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 " a cent in New
York is offset by the gain of Y cent in
Elgin. OtAer outside markets hold about
the same position as last week.
Receipts last week for five days were
43.357 tubs and 22,940 boxes, a total
weight of 2,O52,231 pounds, the largest
weeks supply on record, beating the
week previous by $4,000 pounds. The
receipts for corresponding week last
year were 1909 420 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 $3.50
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
7 to 71a outside for best twins. 1t would
be hard to get inside price on large lots.
Country markets are not a. strong as
last week, but the sales reported show
no material change. At Little Falls,
N. Y, sales were at 81 to 6B cents.
Very little demand for export. The
Montreal papers say that the cheese
market has "a black eye"

and eastern are worth Ia cents. Fancy
marks of Michigan command 12E cents,
but very few of this kind arriving. For
most of the western receipts IL to IL

LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Northern and eastern beef cattle
None of the arrivals were fit for slaugh-
ter hence no values are reported.
Mich cows and springers-There was
a fair supply, but the trade was slow, the
bad weather no doubt having decided
tendency to affect trade.
Veal calves-The receipts were light,
trade was brisk, and prices were trifie
firmer than those of last week, which
was probably due to the quality of
week ago.
Sheep and lambs-The western ar
rivals were consigned to home slaugh-
terers, and values showed no change
from a week ago.
Western beef cattle-All were con-
signed to home slaughterers. and none
were offered on sale, with the demand
light.

prices still continue low.
