Boston, March 10-The butter situation
is healthy, inasmuch as the held stock
is steadily disappearing and there is a.,
prospect of a foreign outlet. and the
decline which is likely to follow the in.
creased receipts will probably be grad
ual. Since the first of the year the n.r.
ket has been unusually steady. and tho
country shippers can have nothing 70

Ginning market now is no more tbar
natural with the supply of new milk in
creasing, and ii may continue until bot-
tom spring prices have been touched

Very few were willing to nav over OIL
cents for tubs, and some thought tbev
ought to get what could suit them at u
cents. At any rate the regular sellirc
prices were not within half a cent as hiob
as week ago, and may be quoted of .,
to . cents This means for lots with now
milk flavor. Other kinds took q Iover
range say 10 to 2O1a cents. None of the

quoted over 81 cents, and some of tba,,,

cry run along at %, "a and 25 cents. and
these are reasonable figures. As re-
celpts continue moderate, these prices
will probably hold during the remainder
of the week.
There are indications of a favorable
change in cheese, as stocks are being
worked off and the make is not likely 70
be increased until May or June. The

Kept closed longer than usual. and all
through Canada the design is to make
as little fodder cheese possible. Sales
or hne fall have been in lots as wanted
at s12 to 8 cents, and certain fancy makes
are being Jobbed out at 10 cents. 1t
would probably be difficult to find BUYERS
Tor large lots at over to So cents. but
rev holders are willing to force off their
goods at that rate. Several lots of early
full cream have changed hands at So
to cents.
Under the influence Of the increased
receipts, the egg market has declined
considerably, and sales have been eff

were 1885 cases, against IL, $50 cases the
previous week and 16,4S2 cases the cor

Beans are rather quiet, and the recent
advance on marrow pea is barely main

Eastern potatoes are selling low. as
the quality is not desirable, but western
whites are in demand at full prices.
Onions and other old vegetables are
easier. Apples are slow and easy.
