MILK. 
The  Borden  prices  for  six  months,  beginning 
with  April,  make  no  quotation  on  milk  lower 
than  3.3  per  cent.  fat.  The  schedule  below,  per 
100  pounds,  is  for  points  in  the  100-nillc  ship¬ 
ping  limit.  Outside  points  receive  an  agreed 
amount  less.  Dairymen  scoring  less  than  25  per 
cent,  on  equipment  and  4 3  on  methods  are  fits 
counted  10  cents  per  100  lbs,  from  this  schedule.

BUTTER. 
Receipts  have  been  lighter,  owing  to  the 
temporary  holding  up  of  shipments  last  week, 
when  n  railroad  strike  seemed  probable.  Re¬ 
tailers  and  jobbers  laid  in  large  stocks  on  the 
chance  of  scarcity,  however,  so  that  trading 
has  been  light.  Brices  remain  well  up  on  the 
higher  grades.  C'ity-made,  renovated,  and  pack¬ 
ing  stock  are  dull.  Some  export  business  is  be¬ 
ing  carried  on,  but  of  small  volume.

CHEESE. 
Prices,  both  here  and  at  interior  points,  are 
very  high — four  to  five  cents  above  last  year 
in  the  primary  markets,  where  around  18  cents 
is  being  paid  for  Cheddars.  Good  domestic 
cheese  now  costs  the  consumer  25  to  30  cents 
per  pound  in  this  city.  Exporters  are  unable 
to  do  much  at  the  figures.

EGGS. 
Market  conditions  have  been  much  the  same 
as  with  butter,  buyers  having  stocked  up  heav¬ 
ily  last  week  fearing  «  shortage.  Fancy  white 
and  best  storage  are  two  to  three  cents  higher; 
under  grades  decidedly  dull.  A  ease  of  eggs 
was  recently  scon  with  no  divider  at  the  bottom 
of  one  layer,  -o  that  the  eggs  from  above  were 
resting  directly  on  those  below.  Fortunately  it; 
had  been  in  the  hands  of  unusually  merciful  ex¬ 
press  ineu,  so  that  only  one  egg  was  cracked. 
As  ordinarily  handled  there  would  have  been 
two  dozen  or  more  broken,  and  the  whole  ease 
a  sticky  mess.
