AND GROWTH OF THE DAIRY INTEREST
WESTERN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. TO SEE
WHICH SIDE HER BREAD Is BUTTERED ON.
There is more in the announcement made
a few weeks ago, that the association OF
Manufacturers and Dealers in Creamery and
Factory Butter would convene in this city
on the 18th of June, than most people sup
posed at the time, or since. AT a recent ses-
sion of the New York Butter and Cheese
Exchange. a committe appointed for the
purpose. submitted the following report,
which was concurred IN and 0roered 70 De
published in the CommercialRevlew,t the Or
gan OF that body. This is the report and
resolutions adopted:
To the members of the Butter and Cheese
Exchange OF New York:
A meeting of butter dealers, in the United
States convened at Beloit, Wisconsin,
on March 3, 1874. This meeting,
when first conceived, seems to have had for
its object the calling together OF parties in
terested in the production and handling OF
butter for the purpose of having a face TO
face consultation over the improvements al
ready made in handling butter: and to give
all who might be in attendance
an opportunity to express their views
or give any information of which
they might be possessed in regard to this
important matter. 1t was not intended that
q permanent organization should be eStao-
lished, but the meeting being very we'll at
tended, the addresses presented and read so
instructive and interesting, the exchange of
ideas resulting, as those present conceived,
not only to their entertainment, but
positive benefit, a feeling arose al
most spontaneously, that the con-
vention should be turned into a permanent
organization, to be called the Association OF
Manufacturers and Dealers in Creamery
and Factory Butter. The organization was
Immediately formed and officers elected;
and it was then decided that its first meet
inc should be held in Indianapolis, Ind, on
the 18th day of June next, and the initia-
ton fee was temporarily fixed at one dollar.
THE BUTTER AND CHEESE EXCHANGE
of New York being established for the pur-
pose of protecting and developing trade in
produce, especially butter, cheese and eggs,
should be interested il the establishment,
maintenance, development and success of
the before mentioned association. There
fore, De it
Resolved, That the Butter and Cheese Ex-
change OF the city OF New York extend to the
Association of Manufacturers and Dealers in
Creamery and Factory Butter the right hand of
ACE and advance the Interests of the ASSOCIATE on
4 a any and every way to the extent OF its power
According to the Review movement is also
on foot to convene a meeting OF the dealers
in eggs, both shippers and receivers, at In
dianapolis on the 18th; and as there
will probably be large attendance
of merchants at the butter conven-
ton who are also interested in the
shipment and sale of eggs, we may hope for
beneficial results to that trade from more
thorough discussion than the subject has
ever had, and a better understanding by the
dealers at both ends of the route, of the ideas
and requirements of one another. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that the meeting is national
in character, and one of general interest.
Six hundred dollars is offered by the butter
dealers, in the form of prizes, for the best
essays on butter making, the essays to be
read at the June convention in this city.
