Rntter. Cheese and Eggs.

Dealers quote differently regarding Butter.
Those who cleaned up of fine creamery
(and they in the majority quote this grade
at 30c while some who still sufficiently
supplied do not quote 29c. But the mar
ket for fancy goods is unquestionably firm.
while the medium and lower grades are still
dragging.
Cheese has wider range. and there is now
quite a gap between old and new. Good new
is getting scarcer right along, and while one
or two houses well supplied with both old
and new, the majority of the trade cleaned
up and are trying to buy from another
This gives the market firm appearance. The
current reduction in supplies is caused by
many makers in the country having recently
stopped producing the goods on account Of the
Eggs rule firm at the advance noted at the
beginning of the week, with fine ranch well
cleaned up.

sELAsco AND THE MANAGER.

Sample Of Shrewdness Which Has
Made Great Playwright.
Discussing the difficulty OF young
and unknown playwrishts in getting
manuscript read, David BelascO said
the other day:
In a majority OF cases the plays
are not read, nor even looked at. But
the managers like 20 make a man
think his play has been read, even IL
they have to reject it. When 1 was a
young man went with a manuscript
to a manager 70 whom / afterward
sold several plays. ny copy was tied
up in a neat roll with a knot OF pink
tape. I knew that knot, and I knew
that the manager OF his reader could
not tie another one Ike Il II he tried.
Come in two weeks he said
Il went, and the play was handed
back
Have you read it2 I inquired.
Sure said the manager. Read Il
myself. Sorry IL won't do
Il united the knot. unrOlled the
manuscript. and laid on the managers
desk sixty-four pages Of white paper
without q mark OF it"-Scw York

The earl of Denbigh. who command
ed the Honorable Artillery Company
Of London during its recent visit 10
America. told at q dinner party in New
York one night a story which, he said,
Andrew Lang had related to him
There was, according to the story.
an aged Scot who had a reputation
far and near for his fine fowls. which
took prizes at all the fairs and shows
OF the countryside
A gentleman, stopping in the neigh
bOrhOOd. heard so much Of the Scot
and his birds that he decided to give
the old mans stock a trial. Accord
ingly he sent an order for the finest
turkey that could be procured, and in
due season was delighted to receive
an exceedingly large and plump fowl
The fowl was roasted and served.
but SO tough and dry did it prove that
the gentleman could not eat a mouth
ful Of H. Very much chagrined. he set
forth TO find the old Scot
The latter. after listening to his
patrons Outburst OF disappointment,
said with a sneer: -'Hoot. man, why
ye kenna tell a guild bird when We see
it That turkey 1 sent We has ta'en
the first prize at all the shows for the
last eight years"
