IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Fresh Eggs Scare-Demand for Butter
Light.

Boston, July 1.-THE week opens with
quieter demand for butter in the local
market than was noted last week, and
tas receipts are still large and the out
side markets show an easier tendency,
this market is hardly as firm as it has
been, though no reduction of prices has
been made The cheese market holds
firm. but that condition is due chiefly
to the strength of the primary markets.
The demand locally is anything but
brisk. and dealers undoubtedly would
shade prices to help the demand if they
saw chance to replace goods sold
without paying higher prices. Fresh
eggs are still scarce and firmly held

Picture Reveals
Diamonds Beauty
Seemingly Impossible Accomplished in
Printed Reproduction of the
Hope" Jewel.

There is no more talked OF Jewel in
the world than the fateful Hope da-
mond, which recently passed into the
possession of the Washington society
woman who has defied superstition in
insisting upon wearing the stone, which
has brought misfortune and death to
the royal personages and wealthy indi.
viduals who have possessed it in the
past.
The assertion that this diamond or
any other diamond could be reproduced
on paper so as to give any idea of its
| irideseent beauty would seem to be the
height of the ridiculous, and yet the pic
ture of the Hope stone which appears
upon one of the many color plates of
Everybody's Cyclopedia now being pre-
scented by The Times to its readers, is
surprisingly beautiful.
The care and artistic ability used in
creating a picture of this great diamond
is but an indication of the careful in
genious art used in the COMPRISING of
a many-volumed cyclopedia into five vol
umes, enhancing instead of decreasing
its value, by placing its facts where
everybody can and viii get them when
ever they wish.
That such book can be offered in
exchange for six consecutive coupons is
unheard of, but we have made this ar
rangement with the publishers and COM
pliers of the work, not only to increase
the number of friends of The Times, but
also as practical campaign of educa
ton that cannot but result in the accom-
plishment of a great deal of good, and
the general commentator of its pro-
motors.
The aim is to place course of educa
tion in up-to-date information at the ell
bow of every reader in the United States
and The Times was chosen as the medi-
um in this section to make the advance
complimentary distribution. Read the
details on another page and clip the cou-
pom printed elsewhere in this issue.
