The MONITOR was misinformed in re-
gard to the creamery butter which was
made by Mr.. Person for the people of
this place last season. The selling COM
mittee, like many others during the but
ter season, considered prices low, and
waited for little better market. The
market was loaded the whole season and
there was no time when Il sale could have
been made at a price fully satisfactory.
The result was the butter, which was
kept by Mr.. Person in tirst-class cold
storage room, was not shipped until
about Dec. |. 1t was in good condition
when it was shipped to Boston, Lowell,
ETC., but since that time it has been we'll
nigh impossible to make decent sale of
any butter except fresh made and No.
l. The committee have no knowledge of
the sale of any of the butter at price
less then 10 cents pound, but it goes
slow and the result cannot be determined
at present. The sellers hope to realize
fair price for it yet.
