least frmness, stocks of that article being
comparatively light and the demand quite brisk
Supplies of everything else on the list were
less excessive and the trend of values
decidedly downward, though actual changes
in the quotations few. Tomatoes were
lower, there being nothing on the market that
could command more than $1.25 a box, while

Butter. Cheese and Eco.

The market for eggs and dairy produce opened
the week with prices for everything exactly
the same as on Saturday. There was enough
butter on hand to meet all requirements but
the supplies We're uneyenly distributed and
some receivers were obliged to buy from their
competitors TO fill their orders. This state Of
affairs made the market firm for extras and
an advance In that grade was confidently nre-
dicted in certain quarters. Eggs were in light
receipt and firm for everything except the
extra grade of fresh, the demand for which
was limited at best, while there was a steady
run on the less expensive eastern and stora ee
goods The cheese market was in rut and
weak, with all receivers carrying large SIM
plies. The exchange session was a dull ar
fair, and the only transaction recorded wa
lie a pound.
Receipts were 81 800 lbs butter. 90. 600 Ibs
cheese and 462 cases eggs.

shorts being fair buyers. There heavy
rains over Sunday in the south, being excessive
at some points. While the crop is well ad-
vanced for the time of the season, yet rainy
