Der made butter is IN particular request,
with not enough to supply tile demand.

lots command 3j1 per 10. Western butter
ranges rom 20 10 Boz, with most of the sales
nj " to 2gc' the finest quality which com
mands 3Oc being quite scarce. Nothing
worth speaking of sells under csc

still difficult to find buyers who are willing
