IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Good Butter Rather Scarce and Fairly
Firm in Price-Eggs Also Firm.


Boston, July 2s.--Butt@ and cheese
hold unchanged in the locsl market, but
a sharp break in the primary markets
has been followed by further lowering
of cheese quotations of about one-half
cent a pound. Saturdays cheese sales
in the northern New York markets were
all at 1915, as compared with l4c at Wa
tertown, l41sc at Canton and l4Ac at
Gouverneur on the previous Saturday.
Buyers, already conservative, have be-
come really cautious as the result of
this decline, and sales at the recent quo
tations have been found impossible.
Really fine butter is not too plenty
and is fairly firm in price, but below
this grade the market is purely buyers
affair and is likely to remain so until a
accumulation is worked off.
There are none too many good eggs for
wants and they are firm in price.
