BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.



A firmer tone has been developed in the
butter market, under the influence of lighter
receipts and a good demand in the west at
full previous rates The weakness which
was noticeable week ago has disappeared,
AMI those who were looking for decline in
July nave about made up their minds that
fine creamery will not 90 any lower this
month. But as larger proportion of the
receipts show hot weather defects, a wider
range must be quoted for that unusually
graded full extra, ana for that reason some
lots can be purchased at a. lower price than q
week or two ago.
No really fine creamery yesterday was Of.
fered under u cents. Although the demand
was by no means active buyers were willing
to pay that price for such lots Is were wanted,
but when higher rate was asked, say Ia
to az cents buyers refused to operate OK
cept in a small way. Several fancy makes of
Vermont, New Hampshire and northern New
York were held above Il cents, but in very
few cases could a round lot be mOvedat over
Il cents. Boxes 'were taken little more
freely at l7i5 cents, when the quality wa, all
right, but some of the surplus carried oyer
was cleaned up nj Il cents. Receivers are in
hopes of being able to establish a rate of TX
to Is cents for boxes and prints before the
week is out if receipts do not increase.
Inc cheese situation is without material
change. Trade has been light, and demand
confined mainly to lots for immediate use.
sales of choice northern have been at "a to
- cents, outside of New York small sizes.
Occasional fancy makes run up to 5 cents,
with small sales, but it would be hard to
place round lot of any kind at over 7Js
cents
There was a scarcity of fresh eggs yester.
day, and Il cents was readily obtained for
the best western. Some fancy marks ran up
to AZ cents. Ordinary grades slow at II to
l3 cents. Fresh eastern sold at 49, to IA
cents and fancy new laid higher.
Beans have ruled quiet, with no material
change in prices. Sales of choice marrow
pea at 81 20 per bushel. Yellow eyes and red
kidneys dull and easy.
Potatoes have been in good demand, with
sales of choice at 50 per barrel, and receipts
are kept sold up

Does Baby
7 hriVe?

If your baby is delicate
and Sickly and its food does
not nouri8h it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nouriSh them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
SCOTS Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.

history my thoughts were at this time

without one look into its grewsome re-
cesses that kept my head persistently
turned that way till l felt Twas attract

this was not desirable l put on non-

snap of his whip at the horse whose jog
trot needed little urging.
Suddenly l myself grew still. The
houses were growing fewer on tho left

words to say, shifting his horse again,

eager, childish face and pointing hand

possible victim to the horrors Of this i'll
reputed lane But / was aware Of no
secret finching from the adventure in
to which was plunging. On the con-
trary, felt a strange and fierce delight
in thus being thrust into the very heart
of this mystery which I had only ex-
pected to approach by degrees The
warning message sent me by MIR. Gryce
had acquired under it deeper and
more significant meaning, as did the
looks which had been cast me by the
station master and his gossips on the
hillside, but in my present mood these
very tokens of the serious nature Of my
undertaking only gave an added spur
to my courage l felt my brain clear
and my heart expand, as if even now

web of circumstances so tragic and in
comprehensive that only woman like

and it's occupant, about which Ifelt free
