Market very quiet all the week. The supply OF
strictly high grade fresh table butter has been
moderate. but receivers have had more Of the
other qualities than could be sold, and the
tendency 20 accumulate stock has caused a de-
cline. Business Is stu sluggish In anything
but very highest grade, and II seems probable
that further concessions Will be necessary 10
hnd larger outlet for these goods. The make
al the present time is very moderate through
out the country but New York Ia relatively
higher than other distributing points, and more
than the usual share Of current production Is
coming this way. At the close extra fresh
creamery is selling at 36lzg37c; latter rate for
quality IS suitable 10 best trade. Rates for
lower grades are Irregular. Nearly 1900 tubs
OF held creamery were withdrawn from storage
DUNG the week. and stocks are being reduced
satisfactorily. There has, however, Deen
slight shading Of values. Process slow and
i4o lower than week ago. Factory ana
