tinue to be very scarce while the demand is
good. Dealers find it impossible 10 supply
the demand for choice dairy butter, and

use. Shippers cannot be too careful in
handling their butter Small neat packages
sell the best but care should be taken to have
only one grade and color in a package, for
when good butter is packed with poor, it ne
cessitateS the whole being sold as Door butter.

can be obtained. Poor butter is the same

packed in new clean tubs, commands 1500lGc
