RosroN PRopuoE MARKET.


The butter market maintains a steady tone.
Receipts continue to run smaller than last
year, and all desirable grades are kept cleaned
up. There is not enough trade to warrant an
advance, ana only strictly fine lots command
full prices. Buyers continue extremely
cautious, and take only enough to carry them
along from week to week. New Hampshire
and Vermont fine creamery sold at about the
same prices as last week. The demand was
by no means active, but finest lots were
taken at 20 TO 81 cents, the outside tor fancy,
which was ratl er scarce.
There is no material change to note in the
cheese situation. Demand continues moder-
ate and confined to lots tor current consump

On American Hotel Clerks.

l.. F. Austin, in London Sketch, sup
poses that 1.-THE American hotel clerk is
still the dread of the inexperienced tray
eler. When you stand i'll his presence,
you become at once aware that you are
hardened offender and that here is the
magistrate who will appoint a fitting
punishment for your crimes. He growls
the number Of your room as if it We're
the condemned cell, and you are a little
surprised that he does not assume the
black cap and invoke the divine elem
ency on your soul. used TO think he
suffered from overstudy of the rights Of
man and regarded them as a social pyra-
mid with himself as the apex.
In the European hotel the traveller is
accustomed to be treated with considera-
ton. He stays in the house for his own
pleasure and looks upon the administra-
tors as designed for his service. Such a
theory is hateful to the peculiar repub-
licanism Of the American hotel clerk.
He is something more than a man and
your brother, for he does not recognize
equality much less defcrential civility.
The hotel is a house not of entertain
ment, but correction, and if you do not
care for the discipline you can go else
where without exciting in the clerk the
slightest emotion of surprise or even Of
inquiry. Should America ever be dis
posed to try the experiment of an oil
garchy junta of hotel clerks might
conduct the business of the country with
an impassive severity which would have
astonished the council of ten"

Questions continued to be asked him,
which only remained unanswered; bu.
