Boston, June 10.-The butter market
maintains fairly steady tone. Receipts
are running large, but the demond for
cold storage takes off the surplus, and
receivers are not forcing sales at any
concessions. In the country, too spec
ulatorS are operating to a moderate eX-
tent, and in this way the basis of values
is sustained. But all are acting con-
serVativcly, and there is no appearance
Of excitement, nor even buoyancy, In the
market. Buyers seem 10 be convinced
thatpriccs arc fun as high as they ought
to be. and no advance Is likely to be re-
srondcd to at present. III fact the ten
dency is the other way, and some of our
dealers are holding OFF in expectation of
securing supplies at n lower rate 1t is
generally conceded that the make of but
ter in ali the dairy sections of the Union
will be very large. The statistics for last
month Indicate an average weekly con-
sumption of $1,000 tubs, or about 900,0oj
pounds. An that comes In over this has
to be put away for future use With low
prices during the summer and fall, the
local consumption may be increased to
1000. 600 pounds Il week, but that will
probably be the'ma ximum.
Receipts Of new cheese are increasing
and dealers are beginning to take some
interest in the market. Sales have been
made at 10 ~ cents, but If q large lot
was offered, II would be hard 10 sell at
over cents. Only small lots are called
for. Tho old stock is cleaning mp a to
