IN BOSTON MARKETS
Butter Prices Firmer, Advance Expected
Egg Market Also Firm.

Boston, April s.-StrongeT adyiees
from outside markets are responsible
for firmer market locally for butter.
Demand does not show much, if any,
increase and the supply is still quite
ample, but on account of higher prices
in other markets it is believed that re-
placing prices will be higher, hence the
firmer stand of the dealers. An advance
is generally looked for, because butter is
below the cost of production at present
prices and foreign butter cannot be
brought in and sold profitably at cur.
rent quotations. II is rumored also that
much storage butter, which has been a
drag on the market lately, has passed
into strong hands and will be held for
higher prices. Old cheese is scarce and
firmly held, but the market tends down
on new goods owing TO easier adyices
from the primary eenters. There is a
very firm market for eggs, as supplies,
particularly of hennery eggs, are no
more tina insufficient for wants.

has grown out of the fight between the
local union of the International ALI

FAVOR MODERN PLAY
High Seniors Against Irish
Production.

The senior class of the high school
has unanimously decided to put on
modern production for their annual
play, to be presented in the auditorium
the week of the graduating exercises.
At joint meeting held today it was
decided not to attempt producing a
Shakespearean or Irish play as many
high schools are planning, but instead
to put on something that all can ap-
preciate. Some of the members claim
that if classic productions were given
it would neecssitate going to a great
expense in buying costumes and rent
ing scenery.
Miss Elizabeth Comstock has been
chosen to coach, and just as soon as
possible the play will be selected and
try-OutS begun. The class has many
members who are able to take part
in such amateur productions as were
evidenced in the mid-year play several
weeks ago.
Contrary to custom. Principal Pick
ell wants to give two performances
in order to clear more money than the
class has heretofore realized II is
his desire to give matinee as well
as an evening performance. One-third
more money can be realized with two
productions. he says.
