fact that manufacturers and other
business men in the republican party
who are opposed to further tariff leg
islation, regard Randall as the safest
man for the promotion of their interests
tt is quite certain with any other man
than Randall in the speakers chair,
the democratic majority in the house
will be likely to blunder most dis
astrousIy for their party, and they
may blunder even with Randall as
speaker, for he is not infallible and
has been responsible for some foolish
performances in his congressional
career. Mr.. Cox would seem to have
no possible chance for the speaker
ship, but as between Randall and
Carlisle the vote of New York may
be counted for the former. The inn
petuous Springer of Illinois is also a
candidate, but he has not the ghost
of chance unless both Randall and
Carlisle should fail the nomination.
In that case there would be several
dark horses, among them Blackburn
of Kentucky, Morrison of Illinois
and Eaton of Connecticut, though the
latter has formally announced him
self as out of the feld.-Messenger
THE BOSTON MARKET.
The upward movement which we
naticed last week in the butter mar
ket still continues, and fine stock is
held at further advance. Up to
yesterday, there waslittle fine cream
cry sold in trade lots at over 80 cents
a pound, but in small way fancy
makes sold at 80 to So cents. After
the receipt of the Elgin dispatch, re-
porting sales at SO to 401a cents a
pound, holders advanced their ask
ing rates, and buyers may expect to
pay one or two cents more. Owing
to the difference in the quality of the
butter now offering, it is difficult to
give a reliable range of prices. For
most of northern late made creamery
80 to 81 cents is still a full selling
rate, in a large way. Fresh made
western creamery takes a higher
range, and may be quoted at 80
cents, but when it sells at 40 cents
at home it is not likely that much
Will come here until our traders are
willing to pay higher price. From
present appearances we should say
that fresh lots to arrive will be held
at SO to 40 cents, but whether those
figures can be obtained is question
that remains to be answered. After
passing these fancy grades we come
to more steady market. Choice
fall dairy is selling at % to 80 cents,
choice winter made at % to % cents
and long diaries at from % to "a

and some holders have advanced
their June make to % and 80 cents
but we do not hear of any sales al
over 81 cents. There was a settling
