Ire creamery yesterday ID cents was
N med as an extreme price in large lots,
II most sales were made at 171z cents.
b receivers considered that full quo
lion for most of the offerings in as
3fted size tubs. Boxes ranged from Is
1S1z cents, but large buyers got about
M they wanted at Is cents. Northern
wv York butter was hard to sell at over
cents, as the quality was not quite up
extra, but after this week the arrivals
Hid probably show more new milk.
Robbers are meeting the wants of their
ktomers on the basis of 10 to 20 cents
u fine creamery in assorted tubs, and

ight increase, but, exports show a
Aterial decrease. The quantity cred
HI to home consumption is about .500,

Emption is figured out to be 932, 400
F1nds, against about 903, 900 pounds last
hr, an increase of a little over per-
|bt The increase is not as large as it

supplies from Boston from year to

n the populous citiesin this state and
wv Hampshire get part of their sup
les direct from the creameries instead
NJ taking them from here as formerly.
