The butter market, stiff all winter.

cal creamery men state. With the
opening of rail traffic after severe
SHOWS considerable butter will reach
market and the surplus is likely to
make the product drop to 40c Later
on with grass coming butter will go
TO &c or Whereabouts. Further drops
are not looked for next summer as
the storage spectators made .consid-
cradle money this year buying butter
last summer for storage and gradual
Nv releasing during the winter. This
is likely to increase the number en-
