butter and CHEESE. V
The Ellin Board of Trade.
There was an unusually large attend-
ance on the Board of Trade on Tuesday;
in fact, it is doubtful if there has been
as many persons on the. Board at any
meeting for a year past. The room was
crowded full of buyers and sellers,
many of them being present for the
first time. The late heavy advance in
dairy products brought them out in full
force.
The New York telegram,reported the
market firm, with full cream cheese at
10@10ic; skims at 5@7; butter active at
26(q)27c. Liverpool: cheese, 54 shillings
per 112 pounds, an advance of two
armings since last week.*
Our New York correspondent re-
ports the receipts of cheese last week
at 131,169 boxes; the week previous, 69,-
034. Exports last week, 124,732 boxes;
the week previous, 78,108. Under the
large export demand prices show a
steady advance. The butter receipts
last week showed 37,174 packages; the
week previous, 36,927. Exports last
week, 23,347 packages; the week previ-
ous, 7,513. Stock light; prices high ;
demand unusually good, for both home
and foreign trade.
From New Orleans we learn that the
receipts of cheese last week reached
529 boxes; a falling off compared with
the previous week. Demand continues
good, and prices firm. The butter re-
ceipts reached 406 packages; a slight in-
crease over the previous week. Market
well cleared up; stocks insufficient for
the demand.
The market here for cheese on Tues-
day was fairly active, and last week's
prices were fully maintained. The
offerings were light, for the reason that
about all the cheese fit for market was
disposed of the previous week. The.
regular sales reached 1,140 boxes, and it
is doubtful if much more could have
been obtained, as the stock was never
so closely cleared up here at this season
of the year. The price at which cheese
was sold is higher than it has been for
a number of years in July, and it is
hardly possible that there will be any
decline, as the Northwestern States are
bare of stock, and the supply held in
New York must be limited, because "of
the heavy export trade, which con-
tinues good. The quality of the cheese
made here this season has been very
much superior to that of former years,
and, of course, it has aided the sale of
the goods. No cheese has vet been
placed in coolers on account or factorv-
men, and the fall trade will open with
a small supply of cheese in the country,
and with prices as at present will leave
no margins for extensive speculations.
The butter market took another up-
ward turn on Tuesday, and the entire
lot sold was taken at the uniform price
of 26 cents. It is not often that so
many lots are sold in this way. The
quality of the product continues good,
and factorymen will do well to main-
tain their standard of excellence. The
late advance in butter has set the
grease mills in operation, and tons of
oleomargarine is to be placed on the
market at 17@20 cents. It will not be
long until the price of fine creamery
butter will be affected by it. First, the
lower grades of dairy are affected, and
so oit through the finer grades until
creamery is reached. At present, the
visible supply of butter in the country1
is light, but we understand consider-
able quantities are in cold storage, and
when 30 cents is obtained this will be
placed on the market. The market
will probably be weakened by it and
prices lowered, unless the export trade
will continue heavy.
The outlook at present for a lively
trade, at high prices, for dairy products
for the remainder of the season, is ex-
ceedingly good. *

ported during the day:

Gleanings.
Creameries and individual dairymen, if
they really wish to make a gilt-edged arti-
cle of butter, that will sell at the tfp-top
market, ought to use Higgin's salt, lhat
this is the finest quality of salt for dairy
purposes to be had, we consider a fact well
established.—Farm Journil.
That's what we have been preaching for
the past year, and the more experience we
have withlsalt, the more we are convinced
of its truth. We dont like the Thurbers,
because of their connection with the "oily-
margarine" business, but as importers and
agents of Higgin's Salt, they are public
Denefactors.—Democrat, Bellefonte, Pa.
There is no doubt about the superiority
of Higgin's salt. Both the sweep-stakes
Srizes at the International Dairy Fair for
le "best butter made anywhere," were
salted with it, as were also a majority of
other prize lots. When the difference m
the cost of using Higgin's English salt and
the cheapest American salt Is only about
one-thirtieth of a cent a pound on butter,
and one-sixtieth of a cent a pound on
cheese, and it might make fifty times tins
difference in the value of the product, one
would think that butter and cheese makers
would not hesitate long in deciding what
salt they would use.—American Dairy-
man. '

butter and CHEESE. V
The Ellin Board of Trade.
There was an unusually large attend-
ance on the Board of Trade on Tuesday;
in fact, it is doubtful if there has been
as many persons on the. Board at any
meeting for a year past. The room was
crowded full of buyers and sellers,
many of them being present for the
first time. The late heavy advance in
dairy products brought them out in full
force.
The New York telegram,reported the
market firm, with full cream cheese at
10@10ic; skims at 5@7; butter active at
26(q)27c. Liverpool: cheese, 54 shillings
per 112 pounds, an advance of two
armings since last week.*
Our New York correspondent re-
ports the receipts of cheese last week
at 131,169 boxes; the week previous, 69,-
034. Exports last week, 124,732 boxes;
the week previous, 78,108. Under the
large export demand prices show a
steady advance. The butter receipts
last week showed 37,174 packages; the
week previous, 36,927. Exports last
week, 23,347 packages; the week previ-
ous, 7,513. Stock light; prices high ;
demand unusually good, for both home
and foreign trade.
From New Orleans we learn that the
receipts of cheese last week reached
529 boxes; a falling off compared with
the previous week. Demand continues
good, and prices firm. The butter re-
ceipts reached 406 packages; a slight in-
crease over the previous week. Market
well cleared up; stocks insufficient for
the demand.
The market here for cheese on Tues-
day was fairly active, and last week's
prices were fully maintained. The
offerings were light, for the reason that
about all the cheese fit for market was
disposed of the previous week. The.
regular sales reached 1,140 boxes, and it
is doubtful if much more could have
been obtained, as the stock was never
so closely cleared up here at this season
of the year. The price at which cheese
was sold is higher than it has been for
a number of years in July, and it is
hardly possible that there will be any
decline, as the Northwestern States are
bare of stock, and the supply held in
New York must be limited, because "of
the heavy export trade, which con-
tinues good. The quality of the cheese
made here this season has been very
much superior to that of former years,
and, of course, it has aided the sale of
the goods. No cheese has vet been
placed in coolers on account or factorv-
men, and the fall trade will open with
a small supply of cheese in the country,
and with prices as at present will leave
no margins for extensive speculations.
The butter market took another up-
ward turn on Tuesday, and the entire
lot sold was taken at the uniform price
of 26 cents. It is not often that so
many lots are sold in this way. The
quality of the product continues good,
and factorymen will do well to main-
tain their standard of excellence. The
late advance in butter has set the
grease mills in operation, and tons of
oleomargarine is to be placed on the
market at 17@20 cents. It will not be
long until the price of fine creamery
butter will be affected by it. First, the
lower grades of dairy are affected, and
so oit through the finer grades until
creamery is reached. At present, the
visible supply of butter in the country1
is light, but we understand consider-
able quantities are in cold storage, and
when 30 cents is obtained this will be
placed on the market. The market
will probably be weakened by it and
prices lowered, unless the export trade
will continue heavy.
The outlook at present for a lively
trade, at high prices, for dairy products
for the remainder of the season, is ex-
ceedingly good. *
The following transactions were re-
ported during the day:

margarine" business, but as importers and
agents of Higgin's Salt, they are public
Denefactors.—Democrat, Bellefonte, Pa.
There is no doubt about the superiority
of Higgin's salt. Both the sweep-stakes
Srizes at the International Dairy Fair for
le "best butter made anywhere," were
salted with it, as were also a majority of
other prize lots. When the difference m
the cost of using Higgin's English salt and
the cheapest American salt Is only about
one-thirtieth of a cent a pound on butter,
and one-sixtieth of a cent a pound on
cheese, and it might make fifty times tins
difference in the value of the product, one
would think that butter and cheese makers
would not hesitate long in deciding what
salt they would use.—American Dairy-
man. '
