LANDER FREIGHT.

J. A. McAvoy, agent for the Wyoming
Transportation company, informs us
that his company has about caught up
with the freight that has arrived in
Rawlins for our merchants, and from
this on everything will be moved
promptly. The amount of freight which
has been shipped into this country the
past season has been enormous, there
being nearly three times the freight
that has been brought for any Of the
three or four preceding years. This
freight has been handled largely by
Lander valley teams, they having haul
ed in about three-fourths of the freight
that has come into the country, for the
past WI months. He further states
that more than two-thirds of the money
which has been paid out for this freight
has been left in the county and that burt
very little of it has gone out of the
county. This is as it should be. the
county or town which supports a class
should receive the benefits of their Ia
bor.-Lander Clipper.

THERE ARE OTHERS

Is one of he up-to-date slang express
sions. This refers tc railroads as well
as other things. There are other rail-
roads, we will admit, but there are no
others having Electric Lighted trains
between the Missouri river and Chi
.cago. The Chicago, Milwaukee and st
Paul railway leads In all things. Elec-
trio Lighted, Steam Heated, vestibuled
trains running over a stone ballasted
steel rail track give you a service
equalled by no other line. Through
Sleepers from Denver to Chicago.
Through Tourist Cars from San Fran
cisco to Chicago. We are the short line
between Omaha and Chicago. Why not
get the best at the same price you pay
for an inferior article. Try u line
once and you will use no other. For

BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
From Wednesdays Boston Journal. +

The butter market has developed nrmer
tone on all desirable grades ana an advance
of half cent is asked for fancy fresh lots.
This Improvement has been brought about
by the light receipts, "A little better demand
and the Using tendency of Western murke. ;.
The prospect of the opening of an export
trade has also had II strengthening effect, as
there is reason to expect that England and
the Continent will want n considerable guam

Receivers were almost unanimous IN asking
an advance of half n cent on fine fresh e.
ceipts yesterday. For the best lots of Yer
mont and New Hampshire creamery in rs

but very few sales were made at over p
trouble in disposlng of all offered. Fine
quality in boxes sold readily at 22is cents,
and some was held at % cents. A conserVa.
tive selling quotation may be given at p
may be well to emphasize the statement that
these figures are only for lots that show
quick new milk flavor Next best fresh sold
at 20 to 81 cents.
There is no change to note in the cheese
market, except that dealers whose stocks are
run down have been buying little more
Northern in lot3 as wanted as to 81 cents,
ana talr to good at "a to So cents. Advices
from England state that there was a good
trade there, but with liberal supplies prices
were no higher.
Eggs started of yesterday with a fairly
steady tone, with small sales at rs cents, hut
later, when New York was heard from, the
price of choice fresh Western dropped to -
cents, and on that basis most of the business
was done. The closing quotation was l4is
10 10 cents. Receipts were moderate, and for
the week famounted to l2,S20 cases, against
1894 cases corresponding week last year. The
market has been kept cleaned up for several
