feeling keenly that it is impossible to
compete with American producers, are
watching any opportunity to prejudice the
minds of the people against our food
products. They started the tricbinosis
scare, and they will start another one
about butter and cheese if lawful meas
ures are not Immediately taken here to
assure buyers abroad that what We send
them as butter is the genuine article.
So far as Boston dealers are concerned
every possible measure has been adopted
to prevent the sale of authorizations I'M
der the name of the genuine article, and,
as we stated last week, the fact that
they so quickly detected the infamous
trick that country shipper tried to play
upon them, is a sufficient proof that they
are not likely to be imposed upon. 1t
is to be hoped that dairymen, and every
person interested in the welfare of the
dairy business, will take an interest in
this matter, and see that no fraud shall
be perpetrated. AS the writer says:
"It is a case that admits of no delay.
The new season of butter and cheese is
at hand, and America must give that
positive assurance to its large foreign con-
sumers of these two commodities that
there is no such fear to be entertained
, from adulteration as London journals
apprehend.
There continues to be short supply
, of desirable cheese, and full prices are
: being obtained for all the good stock Of
e fering. Lots to the trade are selling at
: 13 l-2 to IA cents pound, but in a
e jobbing way IA IL is the price for best
, quality, and some holders are Indifferent
v about selling at that. Last year old
/ cheese ran very scarce during the last
e week in April, and some of it was jobbed
J. out as high as II cents pound 1t
may not 60 quite as high this year, but
there is cofndent feeling that it will
touch Is cents, and may possibly 60 to
16 cents, before there is much new fall
cream to take its place. Skim cheese
is in full supply, but it sells slowly at
Z to 10 cents pound.
- Beans are not selling freely at the ad.
vance price quoted last week, but holders
y. are very firm, and are not urging sales
=. They claim that the supply of both pee
~ and mediums will be light for some time
" to come, and that higher prices may b.
- expected. The selling rate this week fo
=" choice pea and mediums is 1920 to S2.2;
per bushel.

advanced one cent dozen since tn
