PROCEEDINGS OF AMERICAN DAIRY- 
MENS’ CONVENTION. 
January 9,1378 
Mr. J. H. Reall of New York offered the 
following resolution, which was adopted : 
Besolved, That a coraraittoe of eleven he ap¬ 
pointed to orgauize a National dairy fair, to be 
held at some central point during the present 
year; that said committee Bha.ll have full power 
to select place, raise funds, pay premiums and 
make all arrangements necessary to the largest 
success of t he undertaking ; that said commit¬ 
tee shall adopt rules for its government and 
have power to fill vacancies in its own member a. 
Mr. Frank Moulton said : 
Gentlemen and Members of (he Association: 
I am glad that this matter has been brought 
up at this stage of the proceedings. I have just 
been conversing with a merchant from New York 
City, who has been an attentive listener through 
all the sessions of this convention. He said 
that if a dairy convention is held in the city of 
New York, ho will give one hundred dollars to¬ 
ward defraying the expenses. Now I want to 
say a word in regard to this committee, and its 
appointment. Tt commenas itself to my reason 
as well as to my feelings. Coming, as it does, 
from such a convention as this, it carries no un¬ 
certain meaning or emphasis. I am a new hand 
at these dairy conventions, although I have had 
something to do with other conventions. But 
this convention, it seems to mo, transcends 
them all in the spirit which actuates those who 
govern and present their ideas to it. There is a 
spirit manifested, and an intellectual power ex¬ 
hibited, that commends itself to our highest ad¬ 
miration. When such men as Mr. Curtis, Pro¬ 
fessor Arnold, Professor Stewart, and many 
others (I do not wish to make any invidious dis¬ 
tinctions)—when we see such men as these 
giving their time and talents to the discussions 
of this convention, certainly more than ordinary 
importance ought to be attached to the appoint¬ 
ment of this committee. 
The committees generally appointed by your 
Dairy Conventions have had a professional and 
literary significance, on account of the character 
of the men who have given direction to your 
conventions; but their business significance has 
generally not been valued, for no effort com¬ 
mensurate with the importance of the interests 
represented, have been made to impress the bu¬ 
siness community. I hold that every effort 
should be made, now and henceforth, to make 
upon the business community that impression 
justly due to the extraordiuary commercial val¬ 
ues of the ideas enunciated and the practical 
thoughts suggested. 
The idea of circulating only 600 copies of Prof. 
Arnold’s report of the proceedings, considering 
its value and importance to the country, is pre¬ 
posterous. A yery little effort will circulate 
5,000, and if proper effort iB made in the rep¬ 
resentation of the business interests involved, 
10,000 could be circulated with the greatest ad¬ 
vantage. New York is the proper place to 
hold the American Dairy Fair, to secure for 
it that, continental and world-wide signifi¬ 
cance that should attach to the industry it rep¬ 
resents. 
Your committee should not come with distrust 
to the work before it. Its importance is worthy 
of the utmost attention which the best mer¬ 
chants of the country can give to it. Your in¬ 
fluence should not ho like the murmuring brook 
over a meadow, but. flow with the rush of a 
river, and make an ocean that should wash all 
the shores of the world. [The above was crowd¬ 
ed out of our practical pages.— Eds.]

Butter. Receipts for the week. 15,004 pkgs. The 
market. Is taking a natural course. Fancy table Mock 
Is scarce enough to hoLd or sell; in either case, full 
decided prices are quoted. This sends a good many 
Brat-class buyers to look fur something “good 
enough" among the little pet dairies of tubs and 
tops of long lines. Fine reserved State dairies, that 
have been reserved for the possibility of strong win¬ 
ter rates. are well supported by the present phase of 
the market; some extra Delaware have touched 30e„ 
but 28c. is the more general figure, anti stock must be 
faultless at that. Welsh tubs are running In fair to 
good quality: receipts this season lack the high 
grades in large packages Unix, are so acceptable to 
retailers, in shipping half-tubs, avoid the use of 
other than oak wood for covers. Low grade of State

quality, but trade Would bo nrisker U the grade were 
still higher. Old Western dull and low. Roll !>ntt.nr

Dressed poultry took a good start, but the weather 
has turned proroklngiy auverse to business. Prices 
have dropped to discouraging rales, ami there is 
some danger or an overstock. Ueuvy turkeys are 
uot wanted at all: should be utilized at home, if pos¬ 
sible. Duck* are about the strongest Item in mar¬ 
ket, and these are not quoted profitably. Western 
Is turning out hudlyuml Is hard to sell. Cold weather
