VOLUME XIII.

There Is an almost unprecedented glut of milk in the Boston market and the question ''What shall we do with the sur plusg' is more perplexing to Massachu- setts producers and handlers than to the statesmen who have charge of the gov ernment's finances. In New York, the increase in production has been met by an increase in consumption, caused by warm, dry weather. Other dairies are soon to come in, however, and few days of cool, wet weather will effectually flood the market. Prices will, as usual, rule low. The cost of ice will affect the milk trade, for, while it renders it difficult for farmers to ship it in good order, it also makes 1t more difficult for handlers and consumers to keep 1t sweet.
