BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
From Wednesdays Boston journal.


There has been a dun and unsatisfactory
butter market for a week past, and owing To
the very light demand yesterday ii i'm
possible to get reliable selling quotation
for freshly made creamery in large lots. The
few buyers that were around took small lots
ut about last weeks prices, but aside from
these very little business was done. Cold

this kind was not selling as freely as Il week
ago. The hot weather seemed to have taken
all the life out of the market, and. both buy

force sales at any reasonable price.
In the absence of sales, only nominal pric-
es can be given for Wholesale lots of fresh
butter. The best makes of Vermont, New

were held at - cents, ana sales in a small

There continues to be a dull sale for cheese,
and prices run without change. Sales OF

Rome, May 3o.-If the Pope has not Off

perhaps ascertsin that His Holiness has un-
officially given TIE sovereign, as an Italian
and Christian, an expression of the horror
with which the cowardly attack hasinsp!rcd
him. Perhaps, even, he may have sent in
peuto the benedictions that Pere agostino
de Montepeltro, the greatest of ltiili IN
preachers, has, from the pulpit at Frascad
invoked on him ''whois placed at the head
of our country, that he may never stray
from the way Of honor aud truth" be-

is causing no end OF comment; third, the low
scores of the games in he big circuit, where
the double figures are rarely observed as
the total, is a singular fact; fourth, the un-
precedented number of tie games that have
been played is also something remark able,
there being about ten among the National
League clubs, besides those of the minor
circuits. And then comes the fact that that
