hropc missionary long resident in the South Sea

which they believed to be cook the coral for their

~ This is the way in which the price of butter
is kept up. The New York Evening Post says
"on one occasion, lately, when our reporter was
at the Washington Market, getting the retail price
OF butter for publication, one Of these spectators
told him that they wished TO have it quoted al a
less price than il really sold, or the farmers
would compel The dealers to pay more for il.
This Is the way in which farmers are deceived
while the consumer in the city is compelled al the
same time, to pay exorbiianl price. A combina-
ton exists among the dealers, and they tell the dali
ry people that the article sells for only eighteen or
twenty one Cents, while the consumer cannot pur-
chase II Tor less than twenty eight or thirty one cents
per pound"
