FROM W DbStpn JouTntl.
little stronger tone has been developed
in the butter market. 1t comes mainly from
outside in duences, but the falling of in re-
ceipts and the prospects of cooler weather
have induce Il n little more inquiry, and e
general opinion il that the crisis has been
not perceptibly increased, however, and re-
crivers are still complaining of not being
able 10 clean up their fresh supplies, So that
no higher prices than last week can SO far be
quoted.
Asa rule, sellers were not disposed to talk
any higher prices TINS week. They felt the
influence of the outside strength, ana were II
little more de ermined to hold ont for full
asking rates, bur they were disposed to ac.
cept reasonable bids. Perhaps % cents was
more generally asked for fine FRI sh cream
cry, but buy ers were not any more W Hing to
pay 1t, and only special lots of Northern
reimery in assorted sizr tubs brought that
figure. Most sales of extras were at %
cents. Where the quatiy was notup to extra
n lower price had to be accepted in order to
make n clearance. Boxes and prints sold at
24% to % cents, and for the finest lots 25 cents
was pretty generally asked nj tha close.
No material change has been reported from
the cheese market from last week. Demand
has been moderate and prices have ruled
steady ON the oasis OF l2R to IN cents for
be- Northern twins in lots to the trade, with
occasional sales nj Is cents. Holders are in
different about ff"ring their late made stock
under 10 cents, as II cannot ne laid down here
FIR ess with any show of profit. The general
situation is still considered strong.
There has been slow trade in eggs, and
receip of Western have accumulated. Sales
of best fresh gathered Western at 10 to 20
cents with an occasional selected dot AT 2l
cents Ordinary lots lower Fresh Eastern
sold N % to % cents, and fancy new lads at
p 10 20 cents Storage eggs quiet at 10 to IL
cents.
