Boston. June 29.-The general conol-
lions of the butter market are ABOUT Ihe
sape as last week. There appears 10 pe
more desire on the part of some recelV-
ers to realize on their consignments' put
as a rule last weeks prices are sustalneoe
and when they cannot be obtained lile
butter is put into cold storage. Inc hlsh
prices in the country are cause OF COIL
plaint, as it is difficult to find buyers VINO
are willing to pay what the butter COSTS
laid down here, and the consequences ID
that a large portion of the receipts nave
to be put into cold storage on owners
account.
Most of the receivers of western but-
ter reported a slow demand, and none Oh
them quoted over II cents for the pest
trade lots in ash tubs. Several Oh theRh
offered freely at that price yesterday
and it was understood by buyers that
some shading would be made to the r1ght
persons. Lots not strictly fine could be
bought at 1872 cents, and these were the
kind that receivers were most anxious
to sell. Perhaps for this reason range
of 161a cents should be given, with most
sales at II cents. Lots of western cream
cry in spruce tubs, assorted sizes, were
held at IN to 1712 cents, and several OF
the finest makes could not be bought,
under the outside figure, but there We're
not many sales at over II to TN cents.
The receipts of butter for the week
were 80, 112 tubs and 28,777 boxes, total
weight of 1,841, $50 pounds, against ill.,
10 pounds the previous week and 2,lOb,-
094 pounds the corresponding week last
year. The statement of the Quincy
Market Cold Storage company for the
week is as follows: Put in, q, 1872 tubs;
taken out, 1046 tubs; stock, 1928 tubs,
against 93,723 tubs same time last year.
For the corresponding week last year
26 662 tubs were put in and 500 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 w cents, and the
range for late arrivals of full cream is
IA to 81 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 1914 to 13
cents. Inferior grades continue slow at
low prices. The stock in cold storage
amounts to 139, 703 cases, against 104, 1856
cases, an increase of "a, 818 cases.
