Butter. Cheese and Eggs

There were some fractional changes in prices
for the lower grades of butter and eggs yester-
day, but top quality offerings of all three de-
scriptions were unchanged. The butter market
maintained strong position, though local trad
ing quiet, the frmness being due TO the
demand for shipment to the north, which ab-
sorbed a large portion OF the surplus. Extra
eggs were being stored freely and that move
ment held the market frm while the under
grades were in good request for current market
needs. Cheese quiet, the only change in
the quotations being advance of 12c in
Oregon Young Americas.
On the exchange 90 cases of extra eggs were
sold at 24c dozen and so cases OF extra
butter changed hands. 10 being at 24l5c and
40 at 24c a pound.
Receipts were 90 100 lbs butter, 5000 lbs
cheese and 1.232 cases eggs.

lished by the sales, bids and offers the floor

Now YORK Cotton nIarket

NEW YORK. April 1e.-Huttons wire says
The market opened points higher this morn
ing, but Theodore II. Price was. there with heavy
selling orders backed by cloudy weather in
Texas, which started the market downward early
and the public did the rest Trading was quite
active throughout the day and large blocks Of
cotton changed hands. Rains In Texas at this
time would probably cause the outsiders to hand
over their lines to anxious shorts and as soon as
this pressure TO liQufdate is over the big bulls
will bid the market up again, and when the pub
lie get their cotton back it VIII be at higher
prices than they sold out at: All conditions
would seem TO Justify much higher prices''
