butter. Cheese and Ecx<

Another nc was Topped of the quotations for
eggs. all grades being affected by the decline
which brought the price Of the best lots down
to 15c dozen While the decline served To ae-
ceerate the movement into storage. there were
great many washed and otherwise unfit eggs
which could not be stored, and receivers report
ed considerable difficulty in dispOsing of such
stock. That the majority of receivers were con-
tent with the new quotation as storage basis
was evidenced by the fact that only one lot or
10 cases Of extras was sold on the exchange. no
one being anxious TO sell after the market
touched 15c.
Butter was unchanged both as to prices and
the tone of the market. but there was pro-
nounced feeling Of weakness among receivers
and the belief was general that decline was
imminent Some fairly large shipments we're
sent TO the Puget sound country on the steamer
which sailed YESTERDAY. and 1t was reported that
the steamer leaving today would take out more

decline of &c a pound in fancy and first Cali

change:
Butter-2o cases of extras at 24c a pound.
