Short Supply of Fresh Eggs-The Butter
Market Firm.

Boston, Oct 29.-Fine fresh butter il
still cleaning up well in the local market
and holds firm in price and the marked
is at least steady on the under grades
though they are not selling very readily
and the supply is large. Fancy cheese is
firmly held because supplies are not
large, and with the production season
ably small dealers believe they would
have some trouble in replacing the stock
sold. Late made goods, however, are a
drug on the market, and sellers are in
clined to meet buyers part way on prices
to effect sales. The market is as short
of fresh eggs as ever and prices CON
tinue pretty much in SELLERS favor. Stor-
age eggs are increasing in demand on
account of the high cost of fresh stock
and also tend higher in price.

one of them-written by a man who
was influenced to save money by the girl
he was in love with:

LIVELY TINES ON

Some interesting gossip of the
Cleveland passengers appeared in the
Manila papers while the big excursion
steamer was in that port. The fol-
lowing will be of interest here:

Mr.. Keesling, accompanied by Mrs.
Keesling, is taking the round trip but
they state positively they are coming
back to Manila; in fact. Mr.. Keesling
says he fell in love with Manila be-
fore he saw the city, but that may be
due to Major Lyons Establishments.
Romance, too, is in the air, and
from various sources it is whispered
there are number of matings all but
announced, and is authoritatively Civ
en- out. Miss Myra Baeder, of New
York city, who is travelling with her
mother. Mrs. H. H. Baeder, has had
her heart won by Herr Bergwerksbe-
sitter of Essen on the Rhine. He is
said to be a very wealthy mine-owner

he very much desired to do. First
Officer Fritz Kruse, in a chat with
a Cablenews-American reporter, stated
the captain has many friends in

position which confines him to his
statefoom He also stated that a
mistaken Impression seems to be
current concerning their former COM
mander, Captain Dempwolf, who has
always expressed himself as very
friendly toward the people of Manila,
in fact, Mr.. Kruse says that about
20 years ago Mr.. Dempwolf was ship
wrecked in the south seas and was
picked up by Spanish steamer and,
brought to Manila, since which time
he has always taken very friendly
interest in Manila and it's people.
Captain Dempwolf is now commander
