siderable XXI ent-Esisks Taken In Stock
ing Up Now-Egg Market Cleaned VI
Well Last week.
Boston, June 1.-The butter market
maintains a strong tone, and prices al
leading western points are half a cent
higher than week ago. Cold storage
buyers have been operating to a con-
siderable extent, and although the es-
tablished rate for first class creamery
is one cent higher than a year ago, there
IS no indication of any reaction. The
principal point with buyers is to keep
prices from going any higher than last
year, but there appears to be enough
others who are willing to take the butter
for storage * the present price There
is nothing in the trade situation here to
warrant higher rates being paid for but
ter during June, and those who are stock
ing up even at present prices are taking
some risks.
Some of the fancy makes of Vermont
and New Hampshire in tubs were held
at 1112 cents, but very few buyers were
willing to pay over II cents, and that
seemed to be the ruling price for most
of the creamery sold. Boxes were taken
at liz to is cents, with IS cents as an
extreme. MOst of the offerings were Iuil
grass, but some had not the right body
and flavor, and were disposed of at a
little under Il cents. Choice limitations
were sold at IA cents, and ladies at Ii to
1212 cents. Jobbers were trying to get
1872 to 10 cents for tubs and 20 cents for
boxes, all first rate quality, and this rate
may be established before the week is
out, though buyers were determined to
fight the advance as long as they could
trade enables small buyers to get sup
plies nearly as low as those who take
large lots, especially at this time of year.
CHEESE, EGG SAND POTATOES.
There has been a limited trade in
cheese and prices are without material
change. Sales of choice old stock at
9cents, and new at ~ to cents. Strict
ly choice new is still quite scarce, but the
make is steadily increasing, and in a
week or two more we shall probably
have some fine new stock. The country
markets are lower.
The Springfield baseball directors have
decided to instruct the manager, Mr..
Lush, to release Dan Brouthers, and
Pitchers Korwan and George Bannon.
The egg market cleaned up we'll last

quiet yesterday at liz to II cents, out
side for best marks of western. Eastern

higher. Receipts for the week were
