BOSTON PaoOUoe MARKET.
From Wednesdays Boston Journal.I


The new year starts of with very strong
tone in the butter market, and an advance OF
to cents from last week has to be quoted,
though but few sales have been made at the
top prices asked. This change has been
brought about by the small make in ali
\paris of the country and the strong rising
speculation or manipulation that can be not
iced. II seems to be II perfectly legitimate
advance, under the influence of tn law of
supply and demand, and high prices may be
expected until the make increases.

over from last week We're willing to sell at
