Butter. Cheere and Eggs

Trading In Butter continued of large proper

the receipts which showed a marked increase
over the preceding day, proved too much for the
market TO readily absorb and prices for the
upper grades were slightly weaker the decline
being 1ac per pound in extras and lie in hrsts
In view of the steady increase in the receipts
the feeling among receivers was decidedly weak
and break in prices was freely predicted Dy
several handlers. Packing stock continued to
find quick sale at full figures as fast as 1t came
to hand.
Eggs were unchanged and firm, with normal
conditions again prevailing in the market. The
opera tions and surplus stocks were cleaned up by
spectators, who were putting large lines In the
ice houses
There was some slight revision in the quota
tions for Cheese, but market conditions were un-
changed stocks being comparatively light and
the demand brisk.
