Boston  Produce  Markets 
Demand  in  nearly  all  Hues  continues 
brisk  and  prices  tend  to  advance  except 
in  those  specialties  of  which  the  supply  is 
rapidly  increasing  with  the  progress  of 
the  season.  “1  have  never  known  any¬ 
thing  like  it."  declared  a  veteran  dealer. 
"Everything  has  heen  going  up,  and  the 
markets  still  seem  strong.  Europe  is 
likely  to  take  our  surplus.  Freight 
charges  to  England  are  three  times  what 
they  were  a  few  years  ago  on  some  arti¬ 
cles,  but  they  are  taking  the  goods,  and 
this  sale  of  the  surplus  will  help  hold  our 
market  level.  There  is  some  shortage  in 
the  West  and  I  am  looking  for  one  of  the 
best  markets  we  ever  had  for  New  Eng¬ 
land  products.” 
BETTER  ADVANCES  AC  AIN. 
The  market,  is  somewhat  speculative. 
Sentiment  is  stimulated  by  the  export  de¬ 
mand  active  enough  to  suggest  the  pos¬ 
sibility  of  still  higher  prices.  Those  who 
stored  butter  reluctantly  in  June  and 
July  because  they  didn't  know  what  else 
to  do  with  it,  are  now  figuring  prospec¬ 
tive  profits,  but  waiting  for  another  rise. 
No  storage  sales  have  beeu  reported. 
Back  of  it  all  is  the  seasonable  falling 
off  in  fresh  receipts  and  the  small  pro¬ 
portion  ar living  without  injury  from 
heat.  Extra  creamery  is  32%e. ;  dairy, 
25  to  80c.  Said  a  large  dealer :  "The 
exports  settle  the  market  level.  I  do  not 
look  for  much  higher  prices,  because 
holders  of  storage  butter  will  take  profits 
and  keep  the  level  steady." 
_  Cheese  also  advanced  in  response  to 
higher  markets  abroad.  Choice  brings 
17^  to  18c.,  and  even  the  skims  are  sell¬ 
ing  at  11  to  14c. 
NEARBY  EGGS  SCARCE. 
Fresh  eggs  are  in  active  demand. 
Nearby  e~tras  are  scarce  and  the  mar¬ 
ket  for  them  is  still  Irregular  because 
some  buyers  are  compelled  to  pay  an  un¬ 
usual  price  to  get  prompt  supplies.  The 
price  cannot  be  quoted  under  45c.,  and 
more  has  heen  paid.  Eastern  extras  are 
42,  aud  Western  prime  firsts  32c.  Cold 
storage  eggs  are  being  sold  quite  freely 
now  at  27  to  2.S%c.,  and  their  abundance 
is  likely  to  slow  down  the  general  mar¬ 
ket,  although  there  is  the  unknown  for¬ 
eign  demand  to  be  considered. 
POULTRY  MARKET  EASING  OFF. 
Larger  receipts  of  fowls  and  broilers 
have  caused  prices  to  lower.  The  ap¬ 
proach  of  the  molting  season  and  the 
high  price  of  grain  is  thinning  out  the 
flocks,  young  broilers  are  coming  in 
much  larger  numbers,  but  there  are  not 
many  roasters  yet.  five  fowls  are  18  to 
19c.,  and  dressed  22  to  23c.  Broilers  are 
20  to  21c.  alive  aud  26  to  28c.  dressed. 
Live  roasters.  25  to  20c. ;  old  cocks,  12  to 
13c.;  old  ducks,  10  to  12;  young  ducks, 
14  to  16c. 
FRESII  MEATS  IN  LIGHT  SUPPLY. 
Veals  arc  closely  sold  out  at  firm 
prices,  15  to  17c.  for  good  ,to  fancy. 
Country  dressed  cow  beef  is  11  to  1214c.. 
and  choice  Western,  16c.  Mutton  is  10 
to  12c.  Eastern  lambs,  14  to  15;  year¬ 
lings,  11  to  12c. 
BETTER  VEGETABLES  COMING. 
With  more  sunny  weather  there  is  less 
complaint  of  poor  quality  and  condition. 
Beans,  both  stx-ing  and  shell,  are  bright 
and  cleau  now,  but  the  edge  if  off  the 
market  and  shell  are  down  to  $1.25; 
string  hold  at  $2.  Tomatoes  are  not 
abundant,  and  bring  $2  or  more  per  box. 
No.  1  cucumbers  are  $2.50;  onions.  $1.25; 
corn,  75c.  to  $1 ;  lettuce,  50  to  60c. ; 
beets,  cut  off,  $1  ;  peppers,  $1.25 ;  bunch 
carrots,  45  to  50c.  per  box.  Summer 
squash,  50e.  per  dozen;  celery,  $1.50  per 
dozen. 
POTATOES  IN  POOR  CONDITION. 
Maine  potatoes  often  Arrive  in  poor 
order,  owing  to  hot  weather  and  unripe 
condition  looking  rough  and  greened. 
Other  lots  are  better.  They  are  quoted 
97c.  to  $1.  Now  Jersey  potatoes  are 
$2.25  to  $2.35  per  barrel.  Said  Produce 
Co-operative  Sales  Co. :  "The  now  crop 
is  coming  to  some  extent,  but  will  not 
come  freely  from  Maine  until  a  little 
after  the  first  of  the  month.  Maine  Cob¬ 
blers  must  he  ripe  and  loaded  light  to 
carry  well  in  hot  weather.  Potato  farmers 
did  well  last,  year,  paid  off  their  bills  and 
mortgages  aud  are  feeling  independent. 
They  expect  high  prices  and  many  will 
try  to  hold  until  they  get  them.  The 
yield  is  reduced  and  the  potatoes  are 
smaller,  partly  because  loss  fertilizer  was 
used.  The  crop  of  nearby  potatoes  seems 
light.  The  Western  crop  is  the  chief  un¬ 
certainty.  They  have  had  dry  weather, 
but  we  don’t  know  extent  of  the  injury. 
If  Western  potatoes  are  short  and  the 
surplus  Canadian  crop  booked  for  Eu¬ 
rope,  Maine  potatoes  will  have  our  mar¬ 
ket  most  of  the  season,  and  low  prices 
would  be  improbable.” 
APPLES  HAVE  ACTIVE  MARKF.T. 
port  situation,  and  her-'  the  outlook  is 
uncertain.  Said  Simons,  Shuttleworth 
&  Co. :  "It  is  believed  that  the  British 
markets  wilt  take  all  the  apples  we  can 
ship  and  pay  enough  to  net  equal  domes¬ 
tic  prices.  Their  crop  is  not  large  and 
will  be  out  of  the  way  by  the  time  our 
Winter  fruit  is  ready.  It.  depends  on 
how  much  steamer  space  can  be  had,  and 
that  is  wholly  uncertain.  It  is  rather 
scarce  now.  Freight  will  be  $2  a  barrel 
compared  with  $1.25  last  year,  and  com¬ 
pared  with  75c.  the  old  price.  Other 
charges  will  be  about  the  same  as  last 
year.  So  far  as  we  cau  learn  there  will 
be  a  large  crop  and  the  apples  them¬ 
selves  will  cost  legs  than  lost  year.  The 
cost  will  he  high  to  foreign  consumers 
hnt  probably  not  out  of  line  with  their 
other  war  prices  over  there.” 
HAY  AND  FEED  STEADY. 
The  hay  market  is  still  a  waiting  one. 
Buyers  are  not  taking  hold  aud  prices  do 
not  encourage  shippers  to  push  sales. 
Thex-e  is  about  $1  between  price  of  old 
hay  and  new.  The  new  No.  1  is  $20  to 
$21,  and  No.  1  clover  mixed,  $14  to  $15; 
swale  is  $11 ;  and  rye  straw,  $13  to  $14. 
Grain  holds  the  recent  high  levels,  with 
corn  meal  at  $1.90  to  $1.95  per  bag; 
bran  in  sacks,  $26  to  $27  per  ton ;  cot¬ 
tonseed  $36 ;  hominy.  $35 ;  linseed, 
$38.50;  gluten  feed  $30.75. 
LIVE  STOCK  AT  BRIGHTON. 
Prices  of  meat  animals  are  responding 
to  higher  prices  for  fresh  meats,  but  good 
lots  have  been  rather  scarce  at  Brighton 
lately.  Steers  range  from  7  to  9c.  A 
few  fancy  Herefords  brought  10c.  The 
common  range  is  8%  to  9c.;  and  cows,  6 
to  6 VSje.  Many  calves  sold  at  9  to  lie., 
and  a  few  fancy  ones  at  32c.;  sheen,  5 
to  7c.;  lambs,  8  to  10c.;  hogs,  10%  to 
10%o.  Milch  cows  are  in  heavy  supply 
lately  and  prices  show  no  gain,  the  range 
being  from  $35  to  $100.  G.  B.  F. 
Tumor 
One  year  ago  a  boil  of  some  kind 
formed  on  my  horse’s  left  shoulder  about 
half  way  to  the  top.  I  opened  it  and 
cleaned  the  matter  out  of  it ;  since  then 
it  has  healed  over  and  the  hair  has  grown 
but  a  little  flat  bunch  l-emains  the  size  of 
a  half  dollar  aud  very  thin.  When  he 
is  worked  the  bunch  seems  to  open  up 
and  it  sometimes  becomes  raw.  What 
would  you  advise  doing  for  it?

A  small  fibroid  tumor  has  formed  and

This  is  the  only  successful  treatment  in
