 Nervy Prisoner In City Court.

 In any event, there is more inter est in this part of the country relative to the making of a new price schedule than there has been in years and the chances are that if the producers movement for higher prices gets a good start and promises to prove winning endeavor there will be very little milk going into Boston from hereabouts after the first of May.
