The herald., 1897-07-09

Within the next few days, by Saturday al
the latest it is expected that another ad.
vance will take place in butter. Yesterday
the Dairymen's union at San Francisco
advanced quotations for fancy grades to q
cents per pound, and while the market here
is as yet unchanged the next shipment
from the north, due here tomorrow, will
undoubtedly command higher prices. Some
dealers yesterday attempted to boost loca
creamery to 471a cents, but the general rur
of sales were made at published quota
tions. The market is firm and strong
Eggs are steady under only a fair demand
Other lines show little or no change.
