Late Dairy Markets.
HE E>E

CHEESE.
The highest quotation during the past
week for cheese was 49, cents. The
highest quotations at the same time last
year WAS 165 cents. Some of the rcgu-
lar city market reports quote cheese at
20 cents. But this Of course is an ex-
ccptional figure seldom realized, and, in
fact, the market during the week has
been weaker than during the previous
week, and 10! has really been the ex-
treme highest price. \ strong effort has
been made to bring the price down, and
1t Is a question if holders of large guam
titles can get this price for the whole
amount they have on hand The high
price OF cheese prevents its consumption
which operates the same as increase of
stock. The cheese factories. under the
high market, are beginning to commence
operations all through the dairy regions,
and it is doubtful if the old cheese will
all get out Of the market before new
cheese makes lis appearance. The old
cheese would have all sold out had prices
remained at Is cents. Every cent above
this price is a serious check on consump-
ton, for at Is and 20 cents the consump-
ton Is confined to the wealthy few, who
do not consume as much cheese as the
poorer classes
The receipts for the week ending on
Saturday last were 7.458 boxes. and the
exports were 1855. The corresponding
week last year, the receipts were 8,O12
boxes, and the exports were 9,671
boxes.
BUTTER.
In the Utica market prime and fancy
butter sold for 90 and 50 cents. In New
York these grades bring 50 and 40 cents.
There is little butter for sale however.
that will command these prices in New
York. The stock of old butter-through-
out the country, seems to be pretty well
cleaned out and an advance on strictly
fine butter is expected. The continued
cold weather is favorable to the mainte-
nance of prices and the preservation of
quality Should warm weather appear
suddenly, butter VIII become of bad fla |
vor very rapidly. Newxbutter is begin.
ming to appear in small quantities. in
New York, for which 35 and SO cents is
paid, but serious complaint is made of
its being colored. The New York BuZ-
S6tte says, Attention is called by near
~ all the trade to the pernicious prac-
tice OF dairymen of coloring their new
butter, which cannot, in most cases. be
sold at all to customers, who readily
take the white winter butter. of the
same quality, at price that it is impos-
'ible to obtain for colored stock. The
'lty trade cannot be deceived in refer
ence to coloring, and high colored but
er cannot be made at this season of tho
year. This coloring of butter is all
wrong and an abomination. and shonId
)e abandoned in butter and cheese
making. 1t is considered by some es
positively. injurious, while it is eynen.
I'VE and foolish at best.

THURSDAY, MARCH %, 1879.
A Strange Political Document.

We publish In another column from
the Middlebury Register, an article
which is perhaps the strangest election
eering political document yet published
in Vermont and is worthy to be preserv-
ed as curiosity in some of the historical
archive of the State. Itstarts with the
elected-of course he can without oppo-
sition. But says the Register there is a
preliminary emergency, which must be
settled before discussing the merits of
candidates. The article then proceeds
ina very beseeching way, to say that
something must be decided. He must
have something, and therefore the Reg
iSter asks the people to decide. He
must be either Governor or Congress
man, and the people must decide at
once. He is the servant of the people
and he will not refuse to render any rea-
5onable service. Well now this is frank
and it is somewhat amusing to ask the
people to designate one of two particu-
lar offices for a man before convention,
50 that he can have one or the other To
say the least this is a very safe way of
doing business, even if it is not very
shrewd. We do not see that the people
have much to do with it so long as
the Register has decreed that Mr. Stew
art must have one or the other. Let that
journal select the office and save the
people the trouble of coming together.
We were not aware before, that any one
man had mortgage upon two offices in
the State.
Mr. Register, you had better foreclose
one or other mortgage at once. We can
not believe that Governor Stewart de-
sires to advertise for bids We perceive
that the Burlington Free Press, in two
lengthy articles, makes the same assump-
ton and paroles out the offices for the
people in advance. This method is GER
talnly novel, and we do not see that the
people need borrow any trouble so long
rs they are but mere machines.
While we have no Congressional dis
LtlClS ana rs the latest intelligence from |
Washington assures us, that Mr.. Viii |
lard's bill giving Vermont an additional |
member of Congress, is very probable to
pass, it seems to be rather forcing the
season to trot out Congressional candi-
dates at this early date, more especially
as the election of Congressman does not
take place until the first Tuesday in
November 1t would seem that the
sounding7 had better be taken and the
lines Of the new districts drawn, and as
certain who are residents of the districts,
before candidates are brought out or
forced upon the people. The forcing
process, does not always prove the best
method of cultivation, and it would
seem that moderation and not dictation
would prove the most satisfactory to the
people in this case

be speaking the truth. Thereupon Mr.

and then Mr.. Church directed vigor-
GUS blow at Mr.. Stockney, but Mr.. Ru-
fus F. Andrews at the moment interfer-
ing in behalf of peace, received the full

He fell back into his chair and slowly
