butter caused a little improvement in the sale of Irish in the 
early part of September ; a few Clonmels were sold at prices 
varying from 142s. to 152s.; first Corks began at 147s. to 150s., 
steadily advancing to 155s. to 156s. at the close of the month. The 
quoted prices for Clonmels, &c, in the month of October were for 
the first three weeks 142s. to 152s., and 2s. higher in the fourth 
week; first Corks began at 153s. to 154s., and were 2s. higher for 
remainder of the month. The transactions during the month of 
November were very limited ; the nearly nominal quotations were 
for best brands of Clonmels, Kilkennys, &c, 146s. to 154s. f. o. b. ; 
Cork firsts at the beginning of the month were 152s. to 153s. 
landed, and 149s. to 150s. at the end ; Limericks were almost 
neglected. The transactions during the month of December were 
very limited; the quoted prices for Clonmels, &c, were 146s. to 
154s. early in the month, and 144s. to 150s. at the end. 
Foreign Butter. — Supplies throughout the month of January 
were liberal, but not larger than usual ; a considerable portion of 
these were of very doubtful character ; that which could be relied 
upon commanded high prices : best Normandys, the first fortnight, 
were 154s. to 162s., and closed at 160s. to 170s. In the month of 
February supplies were quite up to average, but in them were 
included large quantities of the adulterated descriptions ; Nor- 
mandys were steady; they began at 156s. to 166s. for best, and 
finished at 156s. to 164s. American was taken sparingly. The 
quantity received throughout the month of March was of a fan- 
average, but a large portion of it was not justly entitled to be 
called foreign; quotations for best Normandys were 156s. to 170s. 
for first week, closing at 150s. to 156s. The arrivals in the mouth 
of April were large ; there was a steady demand for best brands of 
Normandys at 136s. to 140s. during the first week, and 140s. to 
146s. during the last : best Jerseys in the early part of the month 
were 132s. to 136s., at the close 128s. to 136s. The arrivals 
throughout the month of May were large, including that received 
by outports ; best brands of Normandys were steady, the first fort- 
night at about 138s. to 146s., the remainder of the month they 
ranged chiefly at about 128s. to 136s. Best Normandys began at 
128s. to 136s. in the month of June, and gradually fell to 124s. to 
128s. at the close ; best Jerseys commenced at 104s. to 110s. Best
