Boston. Sept. 21.-The offerings of fine
Il Northern We're quite moderate and sellers
Were firm on the basis Of q to Pig cents
Hor the best lots of Vermont and New
Hampshire creamery, in assorted size
Eubs. = fair business was done on this
basis, but only q small portion of the
Feceipts was good enough to command
bver p cents. Some receivers talked of
asking p cents for fancy lots before the
week was out, but this was not quot
bble selling price. Boxes sold at % to
f21a cents. but most of the sellers said
they found it hard to get over % cents in
large lots.
The ruling price for western extra
creamery, in assorted spruce tubs was
II cents and in large ash 201a cents. To
bring this rate the quality had to be all
hight. There has been considerable in
puiry for June creamery, and the move
anent last week from cold storage was
Apuite large, aggregating a little over
10000 tubs. Most Of the sales were at 10
20 1912 cents. with some choice lots at the
CLOSE at 20 cents. Ladies and limitations
BOLD to a limited extent at 1872 to Is cents
Choice fresh lots of the latter might
bring a little more if here.
Jobbers reported a fair trade Tuesday,
and pretty full prices were obtained. On
h rising market, such as we have at
present, there is not much difference be
Tween wholesale and jobbing rates, but
buyers who take only a few tubs at
time should realize that jobbers Is a rule
cannot sell ct the wholesale price with
4 out losing their profit. The top prices
\ flor tubs were 221a to % cents, and for
Boxes, p cents; but for grades under the
best there was the usual wide range.
The receipts of butter for the weak
EweTe 17,S19 tubs and 5,177 boxes, a total
weight Of 913, $50 pounds, against 912, no
pounds the previous week and 953, 097

CHEESE. EGGS AND POTATOES.
The improved feeling noticed last week
has been followed by more active mar
*ket and an advance of about Il cent per
hound. Buyers have not fully responded
Lite the rise. but the cheese coming in this
Meek cost that much more and the
XcUaIity is better. Receivers are not Of
&fering their best under 1912 cents, and
Some are holding for 1913 to IL cents.
1Stocks are small and the advanced prices
win probably be obtained.

stock, and special marks of Michigan run
<pp to Il cents, but very few good enough
to command over Is to 1872 cents. Other
