BUTTER. CHEESE AND EGGS.

The Butter market is simply demoralized medium grades being particularly weak and neglected Sellers refuse no reasonable bid.
 Cheese shows change.
 The management of the cold storage com- pany at Petaluma state that only one lot of old-storage Eggs has been shipped from that point thus far and that was on individual ac- count; that they control the stored Eggs and when they get ready to sell them will market them as cold-storage Eggs. They further say that the inferior Eggs which have been re- gently coming in from Petaluma are from lots stored away some time ago In cellars and are not from cold storage at all.
