BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
IFrom Wednesdays Boston journal.

The butter market was quiet and firm
yesterday. 1t was quiet because the he 1t
kept most buvers away, and because those
who were looking around were not willing
to pay the fun piices asked for the finest
lots. There was firm tone, because all the
butter arriving cost high in the country,
and owners did not want to sell 1t except at
some prOht. large portion of the receipts,
therefore, were sent direct to cold storage.
While 1t is the general o Union of dealers
here that prices are too high for healthy
trade, there is no indication that June
creamery will be bought Mt any lower rate
A good demand il reported in the West for
all the butter offered, and most of this
months make there and In other dairy sec
tons is contracted for at present ruling
price, Under these circumstances, nobody
can blame creamery men for holding up the
price as long as they can.
The market yesterday, so far as selling
prices were concerned, was in about the
same condition as n week ago. The ruling
rate was - cents for all extra creamery,
Western and Northern, in tubs. Several re
ceivers had special lines that they refused
to sell at 10 cents, and asked 1919 cents
which buyers were not willing to pay. \
few sales were reported at 1914 cents, but
these were exceptional Most receivers were
willing to sell the bulk of the consgnment>
at 10 cents, ana this is all that the market
can be quo ed on the general run of extras
for the day. How prices will turn before the
week is out nobody can tell.
The high prices paid in the country for
cheese have strengthened the market here
and an advance of about half a cent was
asked yesterday on fine lots. Buyers wer,
not prepared to respond, ana sales from
stock on hand were made at 81 to ga cents
hut it was generally understood thnt 50
. cents would be lowest rate for the dnC
lots of twins to arrive,
There n liberal supply Of eggs the
past few days, and a to NJ cents has beer
a top rate for most of the Western offered
fancy lot OF Michigan might bring ID cents
but most Of the receipts are considerably in
jured by the heat, and they are considered
well sold AT IA to AZ cents. Even at this rat,
there are more than enough for the demand

but other Eastern are hard to sell at any
more than Western.

CAN MAN STAND 1000 VOLTS?


A report has come from New York of
a man having received an electric
shock sufficient to run four lines of
trolley and to furnish hundreds Of
lights, and yet he lived to tell of It.
This is the story:
New York special: Joseph Hampel,
an employe Of, the Lexington avenue
cable power house, while working at
his switchboard received and survived
an electric shock of about 1000 volts.
The mans body was burned black from
head to foot; every stitch of clothing
was torn from him and he fell sense
less through a hole instantaneously
burned in the floor by the terrific cleo
trical power. The doctors who at
tended him say there is no case ON rec
ord Of man withstanding a similar
shock. The accident was caused
through Hampel trying to tighten a
loose screw on the switchboard and i'm
some way creating a circuit. The
enormous power of the shock NAV he
judged from the fact that until the
circuits were readjusted all the cars of
the road were brought to a standstllI"
The report is discredlted in Chicago

Edison company said: "Such n thing
