BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
From Wednesdays Boston journal. I

The butter market Is in about the same con-
dition as last week Fresh receipts continue
to move slowly at prices which are below all
other leading distributing points in the
country, and June stock continues to be
taken from cold storage at fairly paying
prices. On one hand there is an accumula-
ton, and on the other diminution of stock.
1t is n peculiar situation and "a very unsatis-
factory one for those who are receiving fresh
supplies.
Eigin and Chicago hold their prices up at
about cents above the actual selling rates
here, and claim to have buyers for all they
can get. New York dropped half cent on
Monday, because, as the circular reported,
"receivers feel the necessity of getting prices
on IA basis which will afford an outlet for the
full amount of fresh butter arriving" BOs
ton receivers dropped one cent last week for
the same reason, but failed to stimulate trade.
and they are still waiting for buyers to come
along and sayiiwhat they will take the
butter at.
Most receivers of fresh Northern butter yes
terday we're asking p cents for tubs and % =
cents for boxes in crates, but making very
few sales. Some refused to sell for less, and
others were willing to concede e cent if
there were any buyers to bid. But here is
where the trouble came in. as buyers were
quite scarce, and IT was difficult to say what
price could be realized for round lot if
forced upon the market. Therefore a nOmi-
nal quotation of 2lts to y cents is all that can
be given for assorted size tubs and p to 22lS
cents for boxes in crates Some receivers
who put their butter away last week, said
they did not know where to find buyer at
2l cents.
NO change for the better can be reported in
cheese. Large buyers con .inue to hold Off,
and sales run along in lots as wanted at Ga to
az cents 1t would be difficult to place a
round lot at over 8 cents. AT this time last
year the price was lO1a to IL cents.
Fresh eggs have gained more strength and
sales Of fine Michigan and others of the same
grade were made at p to - cents. Fresh
Eastern sold at % to % cents, and fancy new
laid ranged higher.
Beans continued quiet and easy. Potatoes
in larger receipt and a little lower. Apples
in fair request at steady prices.
The wet weather since Monday has been
unfavOrable for the poultry trade and chick
ems are n little lower. Choice large Northern
turkeys are in light receipt, and worth Is to
20 cents per pound, but small. Other stuff is
slow of sale at II to 10 cents.
Hay is DIM at Sl0al2 for medium and s. 40
for common. Choice grades are scarce and
bring Sl3.50dl5 per ton. Rye straw is in good
supply, and dun at Sl0dll. Dat straw duh at
SG.jOa1 per ton.

WOMEN LEARNING TO SWIM.
Can Now Use Pneumatic Corset to
Help Them Stay on Top.

Help Them Stay on Top.
Beginners in swimming have great
difficulty in rapid improvement on
account of the utter lack of self-conf-
lence and fear of drowning. The
movements are comparatively easy to
earn, but the courage to strike out
INTO deep water is necessary in order
20 be successful. Hitherto the only
thing which has given confidence was
the great ugly cork life preserver,
which kept ones head high and dry,
perhaps, but which prevented the
proper use of the arms, and was, be-
sides, decidedly uncomfortable. The
rubber rings which can be tied
about the body are much pleasanter
than the cork affairs, but they are OBJ
jected to because they are in the way
of the free movements Of the arms.
A new arrangement which is just
put upon the market, and which lacks
all the disadvantages of the old meth
DDS of enforcing courage and still has
all the advantages desired, is the
pneumatic corset. This is not a bum
glesome affair but fits quite closely to
the body under the bathing suit like
any ordinary corset, and is a support
to the figure, especially if corpulent,
adding but little to the size of the
WeaTer.
This is far ahead of any old-style ar
rangement. and one is not reduced to
the necessity of taking few dry land
lessons in swimming while suspended
across a hammock. All the exercises
may be practiced in the water Fa-
mliarity with the feeling of the water
about the neck and head, with the
sense of security given by the corset,
will soon take away all fear, and then
one may discard it. 1t has always
seemed too much to expect Of any one
to leave fear behind before the art of
swimming was truly mastered. This
new assistance to learning to swim is
a most pleasant one.
