BUTTER.
In the butter trade there has been q
reaction from the prices which were out
held by New York dealers two weeks
ago, as that advance was brought about
by an unwise clamor which soon cried
itself hoarse, and now is shouting down
ward. There is wide complaint among
the more trustworthy dealers in New
York against the operations of these
spectators, and it has found its way
into all the reports and circulars which
have been received from the metropolis
concerning last weeks trade. There has
been a large rush Of butter to the CITY.

immediate improvement in price, al

sumption, and the demand viii be pre-

alarm cries and clamor in the trade, is
deplorable, and should receive the de-
nunciation of all producers. It unsettles
trade, is fatal to a steady, continuous and
profitable placing of the product, and
ruins where it excites. It knocks tie

trade laws. Producers are wheedled

fatal to the trade as alternate extremes
of heat and cold are to the natural body
producing a comatose condition. in either

methods these sensational operators pro
coed.
