BOSTON COUNTRY PRODUCE.
BUTrER.-There has been a moderate de.
mand the past week, not only for fresh-made
goods, but for choice well-kept summer and

and shade easier. There is very little
doing in Northern d TRY, only now and then
lot being good enough to bring decent
prices. We quote Vermont fall-made diaries
at 20 to 22c, selections at Ac, common tc
good at 10 to 20c and winter-made diaries al
