Yesterday.
BUTTER-There was so much good
fresh butter around and with sales
under the call of the Mercantile Elk
change of extras at 301ac, the price
was reduced &c. Aside from. this
grade there were but few changes,
packing stock being a trihe easier and
off Ac. Storage butter is losing to
owners &c. h., and this loss is
largely attributable to foreign butter,
which is here in large quantities. De-
liVeries were better yesterday than
any day since the snow began. There
is still lots of snow in the produce
district. Quantities of butter which
have been in transit are now being
delivered, and it may cut the price
next week. Prices follow: Creamery

EGGS-Receipts have been light all
week and the market was we'll
cleaned up last night. Although
there was an easier feeling invoices
indicate heavier deliveries during
next week, but as the consumption
has greatly increased it will take
fully 100000 cases to supply the de-
mand next week. The receipts this
week will not reach $4,000 cases and
had 1t not been for stock carried over
there would have been a further
shortage There were sales of firsts

ton is 321Rd3315c. Duck eggs con-
tinue to be firm. with some sales above
