BUTTER.-The stock of good picked roll is
! exhausted, and supplies of desirable packed are
| being rapidly lowered. Trade in fresh diaries
| is larger in consequence, and receipts of this
| latter description move off promptly on arrival
| thus preventing any surplus. As long as the
| supply and demand keep peace with each
| other, the probabilities are in favor of present
rates being wen sustained but when the vol
ume of consignments becomes in excess of i'm
| mediate market wants, weakness in values is
