BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
From Wednesdays Boston Journal. I


The butter situation varies very little from
last week. The " estern markets ale quoted
AZ the same figures, and the dcmand Mt
sources of production seems To e large
enough To absorb the make rs fast rs Of.
fcIed There is no particular activity here
and We're it not for the strong support which
comes from he cold storage uvcrs in the
Wes' currert prices could not be fully main
tanned But under the circumstances, with
butter costing 80 high in he country, no
lower rates en- be made here, and the sur.
plus has to be put away for future deye!op.
II. ents
81 don't see now you can quote the market
any different from last week" said one of
the largest receivers. 81 can get 10 cents
for all my best creamery in tubs and Il
quarter of cent more for fancy lots, but
as rule buyers refuse to pay over 10 cents"
81 am getting 10 tnts for my finest cream
cry, both Western and Northern, but have to
shade a little on lots not strictly extra in
order to find buyer" said another dealer;
sharp buyer said al have been around
this morning. and could n't get the kind of
butt + wanted n les. than l94 cents, which
refused to pay"
The cheese market has maintained a strong
tone, under the influences of the high prices
paid in the country, but buyers here have
not yet come up to full asking rates. and
best twins have been selling mostly at So
cents, with a few lots nj So cents. ON the
basis of cost, new arrivals cannot be offered
undcr . cents, ana if that cannot be obtained
the goods Will have to be stored. II takes
bu, ers here some time to make up theft
minds to pay an advance, and they have to
b forced into il by degrees.
There has been II liberal supply OF eggs of
ferig and sales have been principally at II

IOWA REPUBLICAN BY 10000.
Republican Gains of 10 Votes q Precinct
Over the Vote Of 1897.

DEs MONIES. Ia. Nov T. - Republican ex-
pectations are far exceeded by the returns re-
ceived tonight from every part OF the State.
which show the election OF Leslie M.
Shaw for Governor by plurality
that will reach 10000 and may exceed that
neure. The first 300 precincts heard from
showed net Republican gain OF
~ votes to the precinct over the
vote Of 1907. II this holds good In
the 2.20O precincts in the State added to the
Republican plurality Of 10000 for Shaw
In 1897 It will give the Republican
nominee the 10000 plurality claimed for
him at IL O'Clock by II. o. Weaver, Chair
man OF the Republican state Committee.
George A. Huffman. Chairman OF the Demo-
cratic state Committee. comedies the cleo
ton OF Shaw by 10000 plurality over Fred
4. White. the Fusion nominee The Democra-
tic losses have been much heavier than the Re-
publican gains. 1t was only with the most effect
I've. energetic organizing that the Republicans
were nbls to poll their vote. and the total
will probably fall below that ~ last year.
The Democrats have apparently done but lit
tie to bring out their vote. Their hope ~
making gains on tho issue OF IMPERIALISM,
opposition to the Mckinley administration on
the Philippines question. have come to naught.
The Legislature will DO carried through by
this large Republican majority. and the pros

had for several sessions
There will be at least ll5 Republican votes
out Of $50. insurinR tho election OF a Repub-
lIcan United statcs Senator to succeed John
II. Gear.
Gov. Shaw said tonight: The indications
are very favorable and very satisfactory. / do
not consider II = personal victory 40 much as
an endorsement Of the policy OF the Gov
ernne nt. expressed in tho non-partisan
ratification Of tho treaty by which the Philip
pine Archipelago was acquired and the non
partisan authorization OF an army tor their
pacincation. I am more rejoced that Iowa
has maintained her reputation for loyalty
than am for considerations personal to my
self. gratifying as they sssm."
