Tendency Toward Lighter Re-
ceipts of Butter.

Shrinllage No More Than Is Usual at
This Firmer Tone In Cheese
Eggs In Good Demand.
Boston, Sept. 29.-Butteris very firm in
the local market. This is not due SO
much to aay' unusual activity in the de-
mard fer fresh goods as it is to the
gen raj tendency in the direction of
ICI..tr receipts, coupled with reports of
Marked advances in the primary mar
kets. Extra fine fresh northern cream
cry is l.rnl al y cents, with some hold
ers aS;.ins5 z cent more. Extra gilt
edged Nerl1-C--c stock in boxes will bring
23 cents e.nu even higher for the right
sort of oftel ms. Extra western cream
cry is held al p cents, and June stor-
age supplies bring about 20 cents at the
top.
Geld storage butter has been receiv-
ing considerable attention, and round
lots have been taken by the trade at
19 to 20 cents. At the close very little
choice stock could be bought for less
than 20 cents. Sharp buyers might
still find some for 10 to 1912 cents, but
il fresh goods hold at present rates
storage stock will be worth 20 cents or
more. It is coming out in fine order
and gives full satisfaction. The cold
storage statement for the week is as
follows: Put in 1852 tubs, taken cut
1,554 tubs, stock 1880 tubs, against
1928 same time last year For the cor
responding week last year 1919 tubs were
put in and 1881 tubs taken out.
The receipts Of butter for the week
were 1924 tubs and 1854 boxes a total
Of S97, 456 pounds, against 953, 097 pounds
the previous week and 039, 941 pounds
corresponding week last year. This
shows q decrease as compared with the
previous week and last year. The re-
ceipts this " eek SO far are larger than
last week and last year.
n the New England and New York
DAIRY secrlGns the snrinkage is no more
than what is usual at this season, but
the west being the leading source Of
supply, the snrinkage there must be
felt here, and if receipts dc not increase
full asking prices will have 10 be paid.
JoD;,ors nave come TO the conclusion
that they must get % cents for tubs and
"A cents Tor foxes this week, and this is
no more than a reasonable rate, but it
may be hard to make their customers
believe sc. AS the situation is today it
looks like a Z5-cent market for the job
blng lraoe, but it is not there yet, and
two VIII bring forth.
The only change to note in the cheese
market IS q tile trmer tone en- the part
Of holders, owing to the advance in but
ter and the fact that fine September
make is now coming forward. The de-
nIand continues light, and sales are
confined to small lots for current wants
at 912 to 10 cents. It is still hard to
sell large lots at over 91a cents
Choice fresh Western eggs were in
good demand at 171a to Is cents, with
fine Michigan at 1tAa cents. Fair to
good plentiful at Is to II cents. Eastern
fresh - to 20 cents, and new-laid higher
Retrig orator stock sold mostly at Is
cents, With some fine marks at 1872
cents. The cold storage stock was re-
duced 1865 cases last week, and on Sat
urday stood at 1859 cases, against S.
624 cases same time last year
Potatoes stiffened up a little on Mon
day, and choice Eastern scld at 80 to sc
cents per bushel, but So cents was a
top price yesterday. Beans and the va
rious kinds of vegetables were I'M
changed.
The market continued to be well sup
piled with apples, peaches, pears and
other seas0Eable fruit, and prices ruled
at about the same as last week.
