Nearly all descriptions of produce were
SLOW TO sell yesterday on account Of the
dsmpness of the weather. The market
sss burdened with considerable inferior
stock. which was disposed of TO peddlers
q low prices. Strictly fancy peaches are
becoming scarce and dealers are holding ut
fail figures. The medium and inferior
grades are abundant, but slow to sell.
Bartlett pears are meeting with . good,
STEADY demand. and under moderate re-
eeipts the best stock Is firm at the quoted
rates. There IL practically no inquiry for
vsisrmelons and prices are lower and
ssak. Ounces are dull and sales are
light. Plums and prunes are In moderate
supply and fancy stock 10 held steady, but
inferior grades are almost unstable. Fine
apples are selling well and values are well
sustained. Grapes are arriving in guam
titles rather more than present require
ments and prices yesterday were easy.
Cranbcrries are in the market and meet
with light inquiry.
Dried fruits are unchanged. Receipts
are fairly large. but the demand is smail
and prices low and easy.
Fancy creamery butter Is in good supply
aud very firm. Eggs are scarce and
higher. Poultry is quiet and iow priced.
Cheese is held steady.
Inactivity prevails in the local wheat
market and values are weak aud still on
the down grade.
Groceries and provisions are held
steady

Down in south street there is an aged
oystcrman who fattcns his stock by feed
ing them on oatmeal and water, and dur
ing the meal the bivalvcs are RECALLED with
concert especially arranged for their
benefit. The old man has !, cool. dark
cellar, and the oatmeal water is kept in
tubs and splashcd over the oysters with II
dippcr, but they are not fed until the CON
cert is we'll under way. An oyster it
seems has soul for music, and it is not
particular 50 longas the music is loud and
lively. Therefore while the old man is
mixing the water and meal a negro boy,
who is known in the ncighborhood of Full
ton market rs ''thc bnck Levy" sits on
an upturncd tub and plays the cornct
with considerable rough skill
After a few moments the oysters begin
to open their shells, rs if to call out,
Bravo, bravo!' and when they arc ali
agapc and the clear notes of tho cornct arc
causing them to be fully alive to the de
lights of life the old oysterman splashcs
them with the meal and water, and they
absorb it grccdily and wax fat He says
that he can fatten 100 bushels of oysters
to perfection in onc-half the time it would
take to do so without music, and that If
he could get the right to have an oyster
fattening cellar under tho stage of the
Metropolitan Opera House his fortune
would be madc.-Ncw York Mail and Tx

Electrical Muscle Making.

Some recent scientific experiments
which, according to The Electrical World,
can doubtless be trusted show that the
weight of muscles of animals was increas-
ell 40 per cent by apropcr periodic applica-
ton of nh electrical current, the growth
being u true development of the muscle.
According to this, it will now be possible
to increase to order the size of any desired
muscle without tircsomo gymnastic cxer-
ciscs by simply lying in n soft chair and
having the current applied. This, it is
suggested might be done at night by an
automatic apparatus, thus saving time
Persons who are improperly developed
may now be balanced or ''tricd up mus
Giles shrunken by age may be made plump
again. Calves which nature or exercise
has failed To develop sufficiently will now
no longer be Il draw back to wearing knee
brooches or the short boomers of the fc-
male hicyclst. The question naturally
suggests itsolf, What will happen if this
process of developing muscles electrically
is continued still longcrS If some way is
then found to develop tho bones, tho man
uf;rturc of giants by electrical means will
be an easy matter.
