BUTTER. -A butter dealer in this town
a few weeks ago sold 388 tubs butter at,
what was considered 'then a good fair
price. Six .hours after the cable brought
a message of a -heavy' decline in the Kipp_
in the. English markets. If he bad: not
sold` just then,_ he could not have done'so'
since unless at a loss of 2,t cents per pound.
The dealer isnot a believer in .luck. but
thinks he came very near loosing ,$500,
which he would have done' had. he not
sold at' the time. We observe by our Mar-
ket reports that large buyers of butter to
export are completely out of: the market,
for some"time` past, owing; .to • thee -.high
price the article is held on this side of;t'he
water, as it could not 'besent to Britain
just now without a loss of 2., cents a pound,
The demand in Canada is confined: simply
to small- lots, for •local and city trade.
Stocks of butter are large throughout the'
country, as holders bought at high prices
and are anxiously looking for an advance.
in England to let them out, in - the mean
time the butter, will get offflavor, and will
