IN BOSTON MARKETS
Quotations on Leading Pro-
ducts In Demand

Boston, Aug. 16.-The butter mar
ket has shown little change, as far as
actual prices are concerned. Strictly
fancy goods are in good demand, but
offerings are light; in other goods
there is a larger supply than can be
easily handled. Jobbing quotations.:
Choice northern creamery, 291A @30c;
western, 2SQ29c.
Cheese has been in rather slow de-
mand. Choice York state, 151a Q1ec;
Vermont, 15@15hc.
Eggs are in seasonable demand, es-
pecially for the best stock. Choice
hennery and nearby, 32@34c; east
ern extras, 2S@SOc; western, 24@
26c.
The receipts of apples are steadily
Increasing, but really fancy ones are
rather scarce and high. Cantaloupes
from the middle Atlantic sections are
in good supply and easy, but those
from the southwest are only moder-
ately plenty and rather high. Cali
fornia is sending along a good many
Thompson grapes, and some Moore's
earlies have begun to come in from
Delaware.
Peaches, pears and plums remain
rather high.
Cabbages are not coming in much
more freely than they were, but as
the demand has decreased and the
small supply has proved more than
sufficient, prices have dropped. White
potatoes are steady; the receipts are
very light, but there is not much de-
mand except for local consumption.
String beans are abundant and let
tuce and green corn are in good sup
ply. Cucumbers are more plentiful
and cheaper than they have been,
and peppers, elephants and new root
vegetables are offered in increasing
quantities. Fancy tomatoes are not
over and above plenty, and sweet
potatoes are a little scarce, but both
products should be abundant soon.

American Girls and Titles.

The responsibility for the present
humiliating slave trade in which rich
American girls are sold to the titled
'decadents of England and the CONT
nent is almost wholly the fault of the
men of this country. This opinion Is
offered only after years of observa-
ton and consideration of our social
conditions and after a pathological
study of American men. Their open
establishment and chagrin at this phe-
nomenon would be vastly amusing
were it not 90 pathetic. Our men have
a helpless inability to see themselves.
Nor is the responsibility of the mother
lost sight of, for the foreign sutton be-
gins with her, as he does in Europe.
She il the outer citadel which must
first succumb to his studied charm.
This outer citadel is carried with as
tonishlng ease, as he quickly discovers,
and for three reasons. The mother is
easily dazzled her social foundations
do not go down deep in the class to
which she almost invariably belongs;
her husband has made every dollar of
the lure of those millions without
which there would not be this problem
to solve. Second, the women who see
what a given man really is, who esti-
mate him at all justly, who begin even
to understand mems social standards
either in this country or Europe, are
rare indeed.
The American mother usually is
clearly out of her depth at the start
as unfit as a child to counsel Der
daughter. She is not equipped for it.
1t is not her work.
In the third place must be considered
that subtle relationship of sex which
European men Of any age always have
the art of establishing with woman
of whatever age, their attention, THEN
quick courtesy toward women, their
habit of listening absorbedly when a
woman speaks-all this is so absolute
ly new to the American mother that |
she becomes hypnotized by it and can
no longer distinguish truth from fal-
sity or a mere national point of Ell

AVERAGES Sc 3-5 SECONDS
FOR rs MILES IN AUTO
New Worlds Record by De Palma in
e Minutes IS Seconds.

Readville, Mass, June 17.-Averag-
ing Sc 3-5 seconds for each of the
% circuits of the one-mile Readville
track today, Ralph DePalma, driving
a sixty horsepower Fiat car, set up
a new worlds record for rs miles, the
finish flag being dropped 23 minutes
and 25 seconds after 1t had been waved
for the start. DePalma's. new rec
ord displaces the mark of % min
utes SO 3-5 seconds made by Barney
Oldfield at Fresno, Cal, December IL,
1904. In a previous attempt to break
the worlds mile record, DePalma ne
gotiated the circuit in 81 seconds, on
the second trial equalling the Read
vile track record, but three seconds
below the worlds mark. The events
were part of the annual Bunker Hill
day race meeting of the Bay State
Automobile association and eight races
were run off. In no other contest
was an approach to record time made,
though several of the five-mile events
were covered in fast time.
J. b. Ryall of New York entered in
several amateur events, was allowed
to compete under protest. He captured
a third place in a fivemile race for
the Bailey trophy and may be deprived
of his position by the contestants.

Jewett City is second to no place of

were simply buying an opinion. Owing
to the fact that they pledged them

thought, to the control of the club. and

No need to mention that the s25 from

signed and the secretary has not dip

ger. He couldn't reach the $500. 1t
was only promised. So a fair was run
and the general public-the present day
reheads"-furnlshed the money so
badly needed. Why?
Up to this time every player in town
was to be given an impartial tryout,
