COUNTRY PRODUCE.
Butter -The heavy offeringof low
grade and medium goods 'continue to
depress the market, and it is expect-
ed that creameries also will soon
otter heavily and cause n. still further
decline. Arany cheese factories aro at
present expecting greater profit out
of creamery than out of cheese and
are going into their manufacture.
This is expected to cause a large
offeriug of creamery in the near
future. The best dairy pound rolls
are now quoted at 17e and the
choicest pails and tubs at 16ec. The
lowest price for off -grades is 12c,
but anything which has to sell from
12e to laic is dragging, as the con-
sumers of low grade or rnedium
goods wish to get them 'at 12c.
Creamery is in fair demand gnd
eteady at 18c to 20c for solid and
21c to 21ae. for pi -nuts.
Eggs -Choice new laid stock is
offering plentifully now and the mar-
ket is firm. Prices are steady at
17c for selected stock, and ordinary
aro quoted at 14e to 16e.
Poultry -The demand fqr fresh
killed stock is strong end offerings
are liberal. The market is steady at
45c to 50e for choice- dry -plucked
stock, 85c to 50c for scalded and
85c to 50e for live chickens. Tur-
keys aro quoted at 10 to 12c for
fresh killed; dry -plucked young birds,
1,10 to 12e for young gobblers and 90
to 10e for old gobblers.
Potatoes -Dealers are still unable
to obtain shipments of car lots and
cannot fill orders, which arenum-

Potatoes out of store are quoted

...The Boer bands in. Capo Colony are
acting independently etnd with in-

ing. No reprisals for the drastic
British _methods of dealing with trea-
son in Cape Colony have been re-
ported. The change of• policy was
well timed, since the Boers are ap-
parently unable to take prisoners.

British Were Unable to Rescue
Boer Women,
.A. despatch from London says: -
Writing from Bloemfontein, Reuters
correspondent states that during
General Elliot's operations along the
eastera border northwards, the farms
wore all deserted, the Boers honing
fled iuto the mountains with their
families, who lived in eaves and
wagons.
Some twenty -live women and child-
ren were found in one cave high up a
mountain, the Boers having hauled
them up by means of ropes. They
were very anxious to get out of the
place, but although the troops tried
hard they could not assist them out
and had to leave them there.
Most of the women gathered up by
the columns at ether places were at
first very bitter, and when asked
why they had fled from their homes
on the approach of the British stat-
ed that the Boers had told them
most frightful stories of how women
and children, were ill-treated by the
British. 13u1 they were not long in
reeliziog the absurdity of these
yarns. . After 'being a few days in
British hands the women appeared
quite Mitten", and offered to bake
bread for the officers.

Circular From the Montreal But-
ter and .Cheese Association.
The Montreal Butter and Cheese
Association has issued a circular to
the Dairymen of Canada, strongly
advisieg them to turn. their atten-
tion, to butter more generally, and
to discontinue the manufacture of
cheese entieely after 1st Neveanber,
for the following reasons :-
.1st. That fodder cheese hurts the
consumption; thus diminishing the
demand for grass goods and lowee-
ing its price.
211.4. That the outlet for cheese is
limited, and everything depends on
the p.tguiaonlit.y to induce a, large con-
sumption.
That the consumption oi
cheese. is net increasing, „but dimin-
ishing, while the Consumption of fin-
est creamery butter is rapidly grow-
ing. .
40. That the prO.:e of butter is
higher an an average all the year
round than cheese, fora .the finest
qualities,. . -
5111. That the manufacture of buet-
ter is mere profitable than cheese,
not only ia the comparative price,
bnt in that the farm' stock and the
land are better sustaiped..
6th. That in order . to maintain
high prices, there must be a con-
tinuous supply of finest, butter,. sind
as the floW of milk is lessening now.
it is Most urgent that the quantity
should be kepi up as „much as pos-
eible, rind eo divert the milk from
.cheese to this 'article is the -.only
way to keep up the supply.
, Butter . shoula be shipped fresh
weekly to connnand the best price.
