been considerably under the estimated
average consumption, and it is difficult
to account for the fact that supplies
have been carried over from week to
week, unless, as suggested by an old
dealer. that the out-of town places which
usually got their butter from this mar

from the dairy sections in Vermont and
New Hampshire. Statistically consid-
cred. the market is in a very healthy
condition for the close Of the season.

and there is nothing here to cause any
L

in the make buyers are naturally eau
