Butter, Cheese and Eggs.


Prices for all three descriptions under this
head remained about the same yesterday. The
feature was The extremely heavy arrivals OF
Butter which appear below. There were half
a dozen boats in with supplies. The weakness
in Butter is becoming more pronounced and
it Is the general opinion that the present
prices will not hold much longer unless there
is a falling off in the receipts AS IL is most
of the creamery is selling to large and posted
Cheese stands the same. Stocks are still
excessive.
Eggs are firm at the advance noted yester-
day and some dealers squeezing a little
more out of customers. Receipts are fair and
the continued storing prevents an undue ac-
cumulatcn of stock.
Receipts were 81 200 lbs Butter 1649 cases
Eggs and 80, 500 lbs Cheese.
