THE BOSTON MILK MARKET.-A meeting of the milk producers and contractors for the Boston market took place on Friday last. From the report in the Boston Jour. nal we gather the following interesting facts
 This years hay crop in that vicinity and New Hampshire is from one.third to one- half less than last year hay bringing $36 . ton. The deficiency in hay is to be made up by corn fodder, roots, &c. The produce CTS demand about cents quart for milk during the winter. To this demand the contractors were not ready to accede, claim ing that they could not sell at over 8 cents Q quart, and the meeting adjourned. A movement is on foot for direct dealings be- tuuaan fhA s,rndnoars or.a la-r.n small retailers are making fortunes out of the large profits all of them charge. A New Hampshire producer ayerred that milch COWS were 15 per cent, and other cattle 40 per cent, lower than last year.
 The enormous profits of middle men are the chief drawback of the milk business. The difference between the amounts paid producers and charged by retailers is, we imagine, much greater in New York than in Boston, where the consumer pays less and the producer gets more per quart than in the former city. The opening of the Shepaug will necessarily interest more oi our farmers still in traffic that they ought to find very profitable.
