Boston, Aug. 1o.-The butter market
Is no higher than last week. The fact
that dealers are falling back on cold
storage stock, as evidenced by the taking
but of 1900 tubs last week, is a proof that
they think it is about time to call halt
on the upward trend of the market on
fresh goods but whether this Will act as
permanent check, or only keep prices
down for a short time, remains to be
seen. 1t is now pretty generally adj
omitted that there Is shortage in the
supply as compared with last year. Last
weeks receipts here were 1000 tubs less
Than q year ago, and this weeks supply
is running in the same way.
A few buyers were around yesterday,
but they had notion that prices were
going to be easier and held off as much
as they could. Receivers, however, were
las firm as ever, because there was no
visible reason for any concessions and
all the butter not sold at full last week s
rates was put into cold storage. West
ern extra creamery was not offered un-
der 10 cents, and some fancy lots in small
packages were held higher, but for regu-
lar trade lots 10 cents was the ruling
price. Northern extra took q range OF
10 to 1912 cents, because certain brands
could not be bought for less, but receiv-
ers said it was hard to place a round lot
at over 10 cents. Most OF the invoices
arriving show some defects as usual at
this time of year, and although they
could not he graded down to firsts they
rarely come up to the fine quality of
June or the best July product. For some
of these goods IS to 1Sla cents had to be
accepted.
Some of the jobbers reported a fair
trade for the weather while others said
they had no business to speak of for sew
eral days A rate of 20 to 81 cents was
maintained for best creamery, and there
seemed to be no chance of any change
either way during the remainder of the
week.
The receipts of butter for the week
were 22,2l2 tubs and q 500 boxes, totaI
weight of LIPS. 5i2 pounds, against 1 402, =
162 pounds the previous week and !. 430,
S34 pounds the corresponding week last
year.
The statement of the Quincy Market
Cold Storage company for the week is as
follows: Put in. 1853 tubs; taken out
asp tubs stock, 1881 tubs, against
1884 tubs same time last year Fol
the corresponding week last year II, 421
tubs were put in and 2067 tubs were taker
out. The stock in the Eastern ware
house is about the same as last week
1920 tubs, and after making allowance
for this, the total stock shows a decrease
of 1923 tubs, as compared with last year

labor. but the National service IS essential to
prosperity and power; first in balancing foreign
commerce. and second, in creating the means OF
independence of foreign nations. Commerce
consists OF transportation well as trade. and
the charge. for freight Is dependent upon the
cargoes. Transportation must be balanced as
well trade. either by trade ITSELF by trans
pOrtation. or by exports or imports of coin and
bullion. In view of the overwhelming prepon-
derance Of foreign vessels, the difference in the
balance OF commerce is readily seen. The con-
trast In tonnage is more startling, for while
the number Of vessels in the ocean carrying
trade has decreased, the tonnage has Increased
UNNECESSARILY.
In the year 1866 there were 222 American
steam vessels in the merchant marine Of this
port. and 1.590 sailing vessels. The number OF
foreign vessels were 49, steamers and 21So
sailing craft. The total American tonnage was
94T,23G. and foreign 4,61 1,GS2, wide margin.

to 1894. when for the first time New-York COM

THE DEMAND FOR PIERS.
In addition to this, the Commissioners in the
last twenty eight years nave acquired the own
ership of frontage valued at about Sloo,-
100000 which has practically cost the city
nothing. The popularity of this port was fniiy
brought out ia the testimony OF the DOCK COM
missioDers before the Commission appointed by
Governor Black to investigate the condition OF
the commerce Of the port. 1t was stated that
application had been made by al least twelve
steamship companies for docks i'm New-York
which the Commission could not supply and all
of these were obliged to go to other ports. al
though they wanted to make New York the ter
minal Of their systems The Commission also
stated that if il had the funds 1t could bulld
Immediately ten piers on the East River, at a
cost of $4,000 each. which could be rented
for $4,000 each annually. At the present time
the city owns iye-eighths OF the waterfront OF
Manhattan Island. In Brooklyn the waterfront
Is controlled largely by private corporations.
While ii may be said that the enormous traffic
Of New-York has been a natural development
unaided by any assistance on the part Of com
merce associations or trade combinations, and
that while other seaport cities on the Atlantic
coast have been devOting great energy in the
direction OF attracting commerce, New-York has
practically done nothing. AS result there
ing, it is estimated. to 3 per cent This does not
appear at first glance TO be a large proportion.
but in rea talon to the whole foreign trade it
represents a. valuation equal to the entire for
eign trade OF Philadelphia and one-half Of that
Of Boston.
There has been awakening of interest in Of
fetal circles in relation to taking action toward
putting New-York on a better footing. and II is

New-York which relates to shipping the year
1898 marks an important epoch. +. T. Chamber
lin. United States Commissioner of Navigation,
in a recent report shows that in point Of the
tonnage entering and clearing at any of the
ports of the world, New-York occupies, for the
first time the foremost position. This city Is
now not only the greatest shipping centre of the
United States but has won the coveted position
go long held by Great Britain. Nature in all
her wonderful creations, designed and perfected
no more magnificent work than the Bay of
New-York and man from the earliest days OF
international commerce has been keen to take
advantage of the rare facilities offered. In the
department of imports NewYork has enjoyed
for years fully two-thirds of the entire foreign
trade of the whole United States while In ex-
norris q goodly one half has been her portion.
although at the present time the percentage has
fallen slightly before AZ. This refers to

the city. which began its work in 1917. has been
accompiishing many important results since
that time. During the last two years improve

Diers have been built, which have been leased
TO several Of the important transatlantic lines,
and a ia expected that nine more piers OF a sim

Ganseyoort-st. to Twenty third-st:, at cost OF
about S9OOOO00. From financial standpoint

city has been of more promise in the way or re-

proved that they can turn out good il not

size and safety of vessels has resulted in the

The ordinary globe trotter thinks no more of

fare and the service is better. but the Atlantic

SOME FAST VOYAGES
The modern science of shipbuilding resolves
Itself into carrying capacity and speed. The
dream of the ocean navigator is to command a
four-day ship between New-York and Liverpool,
and. judging from what has been done in the
past, it seems not unlikely that this will soon be
accomplished. In 1881 the ship Africa as
tonished people all over the world by making the
trip between Liverpool and New-York in six
weeks. Since then the record-smashing voyages
