IN HUB MARKETS.
Butter Prices Maintained, In
Spite of Buyers.
The Cold Storage Stock Supplying Their
Wapts-No Change In the Cost of Eggs
For n Week-Potatoes In Diminished
supply-How Flour Stands.

Boston, Aug. 4.-Butter buyers have
shown little interest in fresh arrivals,
but have to great extent continued to
supply their wants from the cold stor-
age stock, which shows good condition
Notwithstanding the quiet trade, hold
ers have been able to maintain prices.
There is some doubt among receivers as
to their ability to do this should the re-
ceipts contirhe TO increase Advices
from the producing sections show that
this is likely to be the case and unless
there is a radical Improvement in the
demand in the near future there may be
pressure To sell, and prices consequently
go lower.
Sales were reported Tuesday of west
ern at - cents for the best, but in paying
that price uyers were pretty careful
about the quality, and only the best
commanded this outside price. For lots
slightly off in quality 1S12 centsswas paid.
and sales at Is cents We're also made.
AT the close a fair quotation was 1872
to 10 cents for the best, but supplies have
to be choice and clear of defect to COM
mand the h. her quotation. For strictly
extra Vermont, New Hampshire and
northern New York creamery 10 to 1872
cents is gu. ted but sales al the latter
price have b zen rare, 10 cents more near
ly represen. ng the market yesterday
with some difficulty even in inducing
buyers to pay that price. There has
been a very steady demand for extra
creamery boxes, with rather more
trading, MOI thern selling mostly at 20
cents and western at 1879 cents per
pound. Prints have been selling at 20
to u cents. The lower grades have been
in hgnt request. Northern and eastern
firsts are quoted at II TO is cents. For
extra Vermont dairy II cents is outside
Western dairy quoted at 10 20 IA cents.
Imitation creamery is quiet and steady
at Is cents Tor small extra and IA to 10
cents for large tirsts. Ladle goods are
held a 13 to IA cents.

CHEESE, EGGS AND POTATOES.


Receipts of cheese are cleaning up
slowly but stocks of the best quality are
not large and country markets ruling
strong holders here maintain prices.
The sales of fine goods have been at
~ to cents for small northern and 712
cents for large, with western at ~ to
cents. Sage is dull at to cents.
The market has ruled very steady for
eggs and in prices there is no change
from a week ago. There is steady de-
mand and sales of best stock are readily
made at full prices. The receipts are
rather light. Choice fresh western are
quoted at 1914 to IA cents, and selected
Michigan bring 1411 cents. Choice fresh
eastern are selling at 16 to Is cents. and
fair to good at Is to II cents. Nearby
and cape have a steady sale at 20 to %
cents. Refrigerator stock is quiet and
sells moderately at 1872 to IA cents. the
stock in cold storage amounts to 12i,-
003 cases. compared with 1850 cases
last year.
There is firmer market for beans, in
fiuenced by unfavorable crop reports
and advices of a strong tone from out
side markets. The best marrow pea
cannot be bought at under $3.50 to any
extent, and there have been rather more
buyers at 1925 than formerly. Yellow
eyes are quoted at s1.40 to $l.45 for extra,
and red kidney at s1.75 to 81.
In potatoes there has been more doing
and supplies are not as liberal as they
were. The market is quoted at as to As
cents per bushel for choice Aroostook
stock. Barrel stock sells at $l.25 to $3.50.
There are still complaints of rot and
good portion of the stock is thus affected.

They Cannot Eat
FURNITURE
HENCE THE AUGUST TRADE SALE
ovERpRoDucr1oN IN FURNITURE.

0VERPRODUCTI0N IN FURNITURE.
Mechanical power in furniture
making produces toogreataquantity
of everything. There are times in
the year that the factories are
obliged to stop until the excess of
stocks is turned into bread and
meat, or its equivalent, to feed the
workmen.
Even the shreWdeSt calculators
among manufacturers come to dull
periods in the year when they must
"shut down their works." much as
they dislike it. Then merchants
may become phiIanthropists, if they
choose to assist in converting the
wood and labor into weekly wages
to keep the workmen's market bas-
ket going and the rent paid up until
brisk times come around again.
A PLAN NINE YEARS OLD.
Ten years ago we made this dis
covery, and nine years ago we made
some plans, which we have worked
upon successfully each year. 1t is
an entirely different thing from an
August sale of the odds and ends
of the stock, to galvanize business
in midsummer.
The real thing is novel thing
a worthy thing-a fine thing for our
customers, as we'll as the manufac-
turers-this gathering from selected
workers in wood of their best we'll
proven manufactures-such pieces
and sets, made by their best work
men, between seasons, when their
travellers could not get orders on
the road, and putting them into an
August sale, rated to cover the cost
of wood and wages.
AT THE PRICE OF WOOD AND WAGES
You see the idea. 1t keeps to-
gether and gives wages to the good
workmen, and is a benefit, without
a profit, to the furniture makers.
Nobody, so far as we know, does
the same thing with furniture that
we do, and our August Trade Sale
is arranged for months ahead.

Ii is estimated that no fewer than nine
hundred and fifty persons out of every
thousand suffer with headache and all
but ten per cent of the cases are due di-
rectly to disordered stomach. This being
true it is no wonder that enormous guam
titles of "Antipaine" are being used
throughout the country. This remedy
for headaches and all stomach disorders
has been recently introduced here. Anti

NOTES AND OPINIONS.

An ex-college president comes forward
with an argument surprising to the many
who have not reached the pinnacle of
learning, and stepped off. He reasons
that general war would kill off enough
laborers to leave more work and better
wages to those who remain. But why
only laborers? Why not diminish to at
least an equal extent the victims of ex-
cessive learning who have arrived at the
conviction that patriotism is but an alloy
of ignorance and crime? 1t has been said
that some learning, like the lunar beam,
affords light, but not heat; and Swift,
always too cynical, declared that Learn
ing putfeth men up; words are but wind,
and learning is nothing but words; ergo,
learning is nothing but wind" This view
is only a pleasantly. But when from in
side college walls comes denunciation of
the war as crime and counsel to young
men to turn their backs on the calls of
their country, the limit of patience is
reached, and it is necessary to inquire if a
modern college education is intended to
extinguish the primal manhood of Amer
leans. st. Louis Globe Democrat.
French sympathy has been with Spain
from the beginning of the war Perhaps
that is not to be wondered at since France
and Spain have many interests in common
and French people hold great many
Spanish bonds. But when the French
people not only showed their sympathy
with Spain but encouraged it to fight and
insulted Americans who happened to be
sojourning in Paris and other French
cities, it was time for American resent
ment to make itself felt.
The latest reports from Paris indicate
that the French people are finding out to
their sorrow that it does not pay to lose
the friendship of Americans. A letter to
the Post from Professor Newton A Wells,
of this city, says that some of the large
Paris shops have lost such large part of
their usual trade with Americans that
they have been obliged to discharge many
of their employees in consequence. Not
only the shops but the hotels of Paris
have to quite an extent been left alone by
Americans this summer American dol
lars. once so plenty in Paris are now very
scarce The Parisians are feeling the full
force of American resentment and they
feel it in way that hurts.
Serves them right. The insulting ar
ticles of the French press early in the war
the insulting treatment afforded Ameri-
cans in shops, cafes and theaters, deserve
rebuke in most effective way. Paris
used to think that all the world had to
come there. 1t is finding out this year
that Americans do not have to go and
that American dollars are very much dis
posed TO seek the friends rather than the
enemies of this country

JUST now we are hearing mutterings
that the present occupant of the Guber-
material chair is not as strong as some
others who are being named in connection
with the Republican nomination for the
Office Of Governor The wish is father to
the thought with those who seem to be
taking unusually active measures to create
this impression. Do not make any mis-
take on this point. Foster M. Voorhees, is
the strongest candidate that can be pre-
sented to the voters of New Jersey. He
is the candidate of the people, enjoying
their confidence and respect to degree
that has rarely been equalled by any pub
lie official. He has made faithful and
honest Governor, and is entitled to re-
nomination without opposition This is
no time for the pulling of strings that
will result in grave mistakes and the max
ing of bad politics. We want to elect a
Governor, and the present occupant of
the chair is the logical candidate

WHEEIMEN are paying very little atten-
tion to the matter of carrying lights on
their bicycles. In fact it seems to be the
rule not to display light. OF a dozen
wheels met on the South Pemberton road
one evening last week not over four had
lighted lamps. The riders are very par
ticular to insist on an equal division of
the road, and the driver of an approach
ing carriage is expected to see wheel
coming his way, even if it is dark and the
bicycle is advancing at high rate of
speed, the sound of the bell being drowned
by the noise of the horses feet If the
township authorities have the power they
should enforce the ordinances requiring
the carrying of lighted lamps. This
should be done for the protection of those
out driving The bicycle rider who has
not sufficient regard for his own safety
as wellas of those whom he may meet on
the road, is not entitled to protection.
