A decline in the west also has a
lh dency to make buyers cautious, and
III ~ naturally look for lower prices,
.bugh our market is now as low as any
er in the country. For some time
It all other places were higher than
wv ston, and they are now only finding
kir natural level. The butter situation
IN to this time has been fairly satisfac-
~, and. statistically considered, it is
~ as healthy as could be expected.
ND hat the future will develop nobody
IA tell Without a foreign outlet and
nj a liberal make during January it
v be difficult to work off the held stock
