Bitter.—T he past ten days have given the butter 
market a brighter aspect, than seemed possible while 
the low. dragging period prevailed. A good deal of 
sound but at one time neglected stock lias passed 
into the hands of retailers, and the fm 
conraglng to dealers. Fine butter i* very source, 
and it would be difficult to obtain t lot of moment. 
Obstructed transportation ha> been the main means 
of stiffening the market, nn.l dealers do not attempt 
to advance price* In the face of probable liberal 
supplies, .judiciously preferring to unload all they 
can nf present accumulation at the current rates.
