Une Egg Afaue'
Boston, June 29.--The general condi-
tons of the butter market are about the
same as last week. There appears to be
| more desire on the part of some receiv-
ers to realize on their consignments, but
as rule last week prices are sustained
and when they cannot be obtained the
butter is put into cold storage. The high
prices in the country are cause of COM
plant, as it is difficult to find buyers who
are willing to pay what the butter costs
laid down here, and the consequence is
that large portion of the receipts have
to be put into cold storage on owners
account.
Most of the receivers of western but
ter reported a slow demand, and none of
them quoted over II cents for the best
trade lots in ash tubs. Several of them
offered freely at that price yesterday,
and it was understood by buyers that
some shading would be made to the right
persons. Lots not strictly fine could be
bought at 161a cents, and these were the
kind that receivers were most anxious
to SELL Perhaps for this reason a range
of 161a cents should be given, with most
sales at II cents. Lots of western cream
cry in spruce tubs, assorted sizes, We're
held at Tx to 1714 cents, and several of
the finest makes could not be bought,
under the outside figure. but there were
not many sales at over II to 17A cents.
The receipts of butter for the week
were 1912 tubs and 2S,777 boxes, a total
weight of 1,S41, $50 pounds, against /, III
40 pounds the previous week and q 1885,
094 pounds the corresponding week last
year. The statement of the Quincy
Market Cold Storage company for the
week is as follows: Put in, 81 1892 tubs;
taken out, 1046 tubs: stock, 9S,2S3 tubs,
against 1928 tubs same time last year.
For the corresponding week last year
1862 tubs were put in and 539 tubs taken
out.
CHEESE, EGGS AND BEANS.
Higher prices in the country and
Liverpool have stimulated the market
here, and receivers are not offering any
choice quality under IA cents, and the
range for late arrivals of full cream is
~ to SA cents. On the basis of cost in
the country the best cannot be offered
here under cents. The jobbing price
has been advanced to cents. Demand
rather light.
Eggs We're firmer, under the influence
OF lighter receipts, and choice western
sold at II cents, with special marks held
at 121a cents. Eastern choice 121s to 10
cents. Inferior grades continue slow at
low prices. The stock in cold storage
amounts to 139. 7O3 cases, against 1o4, SS5
cases, an increase of "a, SIS cases.
