Butticii.-TIio  market  during  the  past  week  re¬ 
covered  somewhat  from  the  weak  tone  that  was 
manifested  In  our  lost.  One  of  the  Instriimentai 
features  to  help  steady  the  niarket  Is  the  very  light 
.supply  of  old.  There  Is  always  more  or  less  fear 
that  round  parcels  of  olil  may  bo  uneiirtlied  from 
some  poir.l,  which  even  If  Hiey  should  not  Iii.nl  long 
mieht  api.K*'ir  f>>r  a  length  of  time  Hint  would  help  to 
strengthen  buvers.  Mild  iliiti  makes  dull  trade  when 
prices  lire  high.  Prices  are  aboul  liASCrong  as  burers 
will  stand,  and  thecxlsHng  rules  for  .Sfiitenre  very 
eitreuic.  5)ouie  siipporl  is  given  to  now  State  by  the 
moderutn  roeolpts  of  Western.  We  arc  not  apt,  to 
get  the  tIiTt  rec/'ipt  of  Western  make  liherally,  until 
thero  Isa  surplus.  W  hen  that  Inereusn  is  added  to 
the  market  Stur.Q  will  have  it  formidable  competitor, 
especially  us  in  man  v  cases  good  color  favors  some
