Butter, Cheese and Eggs.

Butter was OF cent again yesterday. with
a very dull and overstocked market. The best
price for creamery at first hands in lots OF
any size was 23c but a number of houses
which had none were obliged 10 go out into the
street and buy to supply their regular trade
This created a secondhand market a cent or
two above frst-hand quotations and confused
the situation. The quotations below are for
unbroken packages at first hands as specified.
There is practically no market for Cheese
Sellers take what they can get and let IL go at
that. The shelves crowded with stock.
Eggs dropped about &c yesterday. The re-
ceipts during the past few days have been
excessive the rains have done much to stop
local business and in consequence stocks have
accumulated until they standing around on
the floors in large piles. How TO work them
off is q question which is puZzling the trade.
Those large retailers who receive Eggs direct
from the ranches are doing their share toward

There was a great deal Of liquidation but IT
was offset by the outside buying. Receipts
of Hogs were still large.

seem to favor it, A day so will probably
settle the question. The feeling is firm. but
tie movement is light.
The sailing of the China steamer yesterday
was postponed until to-day IN order that the
