SEMI-BUSINESS PARAGRAPHS. 
Burnett's Flavoring Extract*.— The superior¬ 
ity of these extracts consists in their perfect purity 
and great strength. They are warranted free 
from the poisonous oils and acids which enter 
Into the composition of many of the factitious 
fruit flavors now In the market. They are not 
only true to their names, but are prepared from 
fruits of the best quality, and are so highly 
concentrated that a comparatively small quan¬ 
tity only need be used. 
Joseph Burnett Sc Co., Boston, Manufactu¬ 
rers 'and Proprietors. For sale by all Grocers 
and Druggists. 
It may be that the principle of some other 
churns is as good as the "Blanchard," but It 
Is certain that no other Is made of as good 
material or as faithfully. “ Get the Best.’* 
They are made only by Porter Blanchard’s 
Sons, Concord, N. H.

Butter.—New butter has a steady trade, but deal¬ 
ers have to avoid any show of restrictive quota¬ 
tions, as the supply la gradually enlarging, und all 
future receipts will show the conflicting grades of 
streaked State and straight lots of yellow Western. 
Ileal ora are forced to work stock with a view to the 
sudden fluctuation that Is likely to take place us 
soon as seasonable weather loosens and Improves 
the supply. The first competition to he worked 
against Is the West, and as the early make of West¬ 
ern res rve, Michigan creamery, is quite as useful 
for doily consumption us now state, present high 
prices In the New York counties must be regarded 
us sbort-llved. Old butter is quotable, but not of
