Butter is very scarce in this city, Their
not being enough in the market to supply the
demand, and what there is, is very poor
Some think the farmers are holding it for &
rise in price, but the price at present is al
high, we should think, rs it is likely to 60
and as the Spring opens it must come down
considerably. It is remarkable how much
poor butter is made, and how little of first
rate quality is brought to our stores. This,
we think, is owing to the fact that both poor
and good stand on the same level as to price.
If our storekccpcrs would pay in proportion
to the quality, there would be marked i'm
provemcnt in the quality, without doubt.
