BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
From Wednesdays Boston Journal

The butter market has developed little
iirmer tone, owing to the high cost in the
country, but the demand Is not active, and
buyers responi slowly to the extreme prices
asked. The very hot weather on Monday aud
Tuesday has interfared somewhat with move
ments, but receivers are not forcing sales
and large portion of the arrivals are being
put in cold storage.
Their was II division of opinion yesterday
as to what was the ruling selling price for
large lots of the best creamery. About two
thirds of the dealers called upon gave IL
cents as the selling price for extras in full
invoices or lines, and the remainder We're
either nOn-cOmmittal or called the market
1875 cents. Several of the latter said they
could get over lSli cents, ana that was
all that should be quoted Those who gave
10 cents as the price said they had made
severa, sales Of tne butter at that rate
and could get II for more OF the same sort.
y broker, who is generally conservative
said that he could get 10 cents for finest
Northern or Western creamery. in lines suit
able for storage, but that II was hard tc
sell other lots Mt over ISL cents. He called
the market firm nj lSia to 10 cents, and after
a thorough canvass we were of the same
opinion.
A large portion of the butter coming in
cannot be bought under 10 cents, and when
buyers cannot be found for ii at that rate
it Is put into cold storage. As stated previ
ously, there are not many buyers for cold
storage on the market who are willing ia
pay 10 cents, but this does not seem ia
cause any weakness. On the other hand, re.
ceiVerS who have small invoices that they
want to realize upon have to accept Isl,
cents The double quotation of Isl ana II
cents may, therefore, be given as the real
state of the market.

Won't Invite Cervera.

Chicago, Aug. 7.-rostmaster Charles
U. Gordon said regarding the proposition
to invite Admiral Cervera to the ceremo-
mics attendant upon laying the corner
stone of the new federal building on Chi
cago day, Oct 0: The committee of ar
rangemelrs had no thought Of inviting
anybody outside of the United States
with the exception of President Diaz of
Mexico and his cabinet, the governor
general of Canada, Mr.. Laurier, premier
of Canada, and few prominent Cana
dian officials. A gentleman connected
with the Autumn Festival association
made the suggestion that Admiral Cerwe-
ra be invited, but l informed him that
the committee could not entertain such q
proposition because it had been decided
months ago that no other persons outside
of this country except those l have al
ready referred to should be invited. That
gentleman is responsible for the an
nouncement in the press that Admiral
Cervera was to receive an invitation. The
invitations will be sent to $4,000 persons
and will be limited to the United States,
Canada and Mexico and to only few
prominent persons in the two last named
countries"
