BUTTER MARKEr.-By reference to
our advertising columns it will be seen
that the Mcssrs. Bristol, who are we'll
known large dealers in produce in the
north part of the county, propose to spend
Fridays of each week in this village
The great advantage of asregular mar
ket day for this purpose is fully proved in
the case of the city of Vcrgennes. The
entire business of the week in :he produce
line-mainly butter-is done on Satur-
days and, as experience proves, very
greatly to the advantage of both dealer
and producer. Itis well known that the
price of butter is, on an average some
cents higher in Vergennes than in Mid
dcbury, and the above mentioned ar
ranCement is the only cause.
We understand that it is proposed TO
encourage such a custom here and where
there is such manifest concurrence of
interest with dealer and producer we sec
no difficulty in introducing it.
