Holsters Take Sudden pro,.

The arrival of 444 crates of Holsters
in Boston this week was the cause of
the drop OF the price from 10 cents a
pound to 35 cents. It was the larges+
shipment of crustaceans received in
Boston in months, there being so, 600
in the lot. The extreme scarcity of
Holsters in Boston has caused the
prices to soar to a height they never
before reached
For the past couple of weeks the
lobster situation in New York has been
rapidly returning to normal, and with
the prices in Boston coming down
this city will soon be able to secure
Holsters at a reasonable price. At one
time during the past winter local deal
ers were receiving 10 cents per pound
retail for the sea food.

COCHEGAN ROCK LARGER
THAN MADISON BOWLDER
j. n. Brand Disputes New Hamp
shire's Claim of Largest Rock in
Country.

J. H. Brand, formerly of this city,
writes The Bulletin that during trip
to the mountains in New Hampshire
he saw in Madison a bOwlder which is
said to be the largest in North Amer
lea. The claim is disputed, Mr.. Brand
says, as Cochegan Rock in Montville,
has the reputation of being the largest
in the world.
Madison Bowlder is 90 feet long, 80
feet high and 40 feet wide. being
roughly rectangular in shape. Its cubic
contents could therefore be estimated
at 1876, 500 feet.
Cochegan Rock is IS feet long on
it's northern side, 20 feet on it's south
ern, "a feet wide at its eastern end,
Sc at its western, and its maximum
height is 60 feet. This rock is irreg-
ular in shape, and its contents less
easily estimated than those of its rival
claimant to the greatest size of any in
this continent. BY averaging length
of sides and allowing something off
it's height on account of the rounded
top 10000 feet would be a fair esti-
mate, leaving Madison bowlder a
chance to grow 1920 cubic feet be-
fore reaching the size of COchegan, the
difference being enough to make n
larger stone than most of US would
want to carry very far.
