BOSTON MARKETS.

Boston, April 21.-The scarity of but
ter is the feature Of the market. Deal
ers are some of them alarmed at pros
poets of high prices on the new butter
that is to GENE, and exceedingly bearish
in their ideas. Having no butter they
are very willing to set prices low.
Under a little different conditions, such
as the May and June creamerieS having
been bought, anything like the present
demand would put prices up very sharp
ly. But in spite of the feeling of those
who have no butter and want to buy, the
market is very firm and high. Extra
creamery, small pkgs, 320331ac; north
ern fresh, round lots, 32033c; western,
32Q33c; eastern, 32033c; frsts, ESQ
Doc; renovated, 25@26c; jobbers, 1ac to
lie more.
Cheese is in the hands of strong
holders, and the market is steady, with
a fair demand. Round lots, 12M13bc;
sage, 1212Q l4c; jobbing, 1a@1c higher.
Eggs are in small supply for the sea-
son. 1t is believed that the high prices
OF meats have caused a much greater
consumption of eggs, hence the reduced
arrivals.
