Mark-Further Advance Looked For
Better Feeling In Cheese-Egg stiG.
ened-Better Demand For Potatoes.
| Boston, Sept. 14.-It Is always asier to
| speak In general terms than to come
| uoWn TO particulars Everybody admits
| that butter prices are higher than last
week, but all do not agree on amount of
| tne advance. The general asking price
| Tor me western creamery Tuesday was
~ cents, and most of the sales We're AT
fhat hgure; but dealers who had been
buying at 10 to 1917 cents a few DAYS
previous run around good deal before
giving the full rate. Perhaps a Quota
ton or l91a to 20 cents would cover the
market Tor what is classed as extra in
the various styles of packages, but with
Eigln and Chicago up to 20 cents. il is
not likely that Boston receivers can sell
amy more extras under that price. The
chances are that further advance will
be asked before long,
for vermont, New Hampshire and
northern New York, fresh lots, 20 cents
were the lowest price named. and some
receivers were Indifferent about selling
uhuer 1o12 TO Il cents. Perhaps for the
aay ~ TO 205 cents would be fair sell
