Butter, Cheese and Eggs

Although the arrival of regular Humboldt
steamer with a large manifest on Sunday
swelled the receipts of butter to well above
100. 600 pounds, the market remained very firm,
with the cream of the offerings finding the
customary promt sale. The quotations for both
extras ana frsts were unchanged and the tend
ency seemed to be upward far as first class
creamery goods were concerned. One small
sale of extras made at a fractional ad-
vance the quoted rate on the Dairy
change and this was regarded as an indica-
tion that the trend was upward Cut up
offerings Of hrsts were In good request and
firm, while solid packed lots of the same grade
were much in evidence and rather weak than
otherwise. Cheese remained steady at the ad-
vanced quotations established toward the close
OF last week. The egg market retained all
Of its former steadlness and selected pullets

Of large ranch extras at retail has brought
