Then Put Your Questions Up to Us 
How to make your walls more at¬ 
tractive for less than the cost of laths, 
plaster and wall paper — how to keep 
out dampness and cold in winter, 
thus reducing fuel bills — what roof 
gives the best value for your money 
and protects your buildings from fire. 
Answering such questions is our daily 
work. Tell us the kind of building 
and, regardless of whether you use our 
materials, our building experts can 
probably save you money. 
Neponset Roofings are the “slowly 
made” kind. They are long on the 
roof because they are long in the 
making. 
Long on the roof means maximum 
protection to your home, to your 
stock, to your pocket-book. It means 
protection, year in and year out, in 
beat and cold, against leaks, repairs 
and that greatest of dangers—fire. 
NEpdnseT 
ROOFINGS 
give this protection at a minimum cost. 
There’s a slowly made Neponset .Roofing 
for every purpose. 
Neponset Shingles are built-up shingles 
and when laid provide seven weather¬ 
proof thicknesses between the roof-boards 
and the weather. 
They are handsome as slate, are spark- 
proof, non-curling and non-splitting. 
Neponset Proslate—red or green—is the 
roof for bungalows, cottages, etc. Other 
Neponset Products are: Neponset Wall 
Board, equal to lath, plaster and wall 
paper; Neponset Waterproof Building 
Papers to keep out drafts and dampness: 
and Neponset Floor Covering in place of 
linoleum.

BOSTON MARKETS. 
G ENERAL conditions in Boston mar¬ 
ket are improving slightly, but there 
is still room for further improve¬ 
ment on several things, onions and cran¬ 
berries especially, to make these return 
a paying average above cost. Potatoes 
are up a little just at present from what 
they were, but present prices will not 
make the grower very rich, as GO or G5 
cents per bushel in Boston means prob¬ 
ably about 40 cents at some of the dis¬ 
tant shipping points for the grower. 
Sweets, however, are holding up well in 
prices, longer than is usually the case 
in this market; $2.50 to $2.75 per bar¬ 
rel being the rule. Tomatoes are selling 
just fair, a few very fancy sell up to 
$1.50 per bushel, but the larger part is 
not fancy’ and sells at 50 to 75 cents. 
Root crops are in fair demand at very 
good prices, beets 75 per box; carrots G5 
to 85; parsnips 85 and $1; radish 75; 
turnips GO for white egg and about the 
same for native ruta bagas, with hog 
stock bnnging $1.50 per barrel. Cucum¬ 
bers $1 to $3.50 per box with demand 
not heavy. Squash not too plenty, yet 
prices are easy; marrows bring $1 per 
barrel, with turbans going at $1.25 in 
a few cases and Bay State about the 
same figure. Onions slow at 75 per box, 
with some sales at about GO for nearby 
stock. Corn $1 per bag or a little better 
in some cases. Cabbage a little better, 
bringing up to $1 per barrel, yet many 
are sold for less. Savoys bring about the 
same as the drumheads; reds $1 per box 
when wanted. Cauliflower in good de¬ 
mand and sells fit $1 per box for best; 
mediums about 75 per box. Celery 75 
per dozen for White Plume, and $1 and 
better for Pascal, while best Boston 
Market brings $1.50. Lettuce 60 per 
box of 18 beads. Beans about done and 
in good demand: for last lots $1.50, 
$1.75 and .$2 are obtained per box for 
green and wax. Shell beans $2.50 and 
better, and Limas, if good, bring as 
mu eh. 
Watermelons about through except 
small lots, about 50 cents each: canta¬ 
loupes about $1 per crate. Pin ms 30 
cents per small basket; pineapples about 
$4 per crate; bananas $1.50 to $3 per 
bunch for good yellows, reds $2 to $4 
per bunch. Grapes per small basket 11 
for Concord, Niagara, Worden and Sal¬ 
em ; Delawares 15. Lemons plenty at 
82.50 up to $6 per box; oranges $3.24. 
Peaches falling off in supply and bring 
about $1 per basket in most cases, with 
large baskets $1.75 and $2. Pears are 
wanted, but supply is not heavy for most 
kinds; Harriotts bringing $3.50 for best 
Western stock, natives 82.50 and 83 for 
best stock; Seekd $1.50 and $2.50 ac¬ 
cording to size and quality. Good Bose 
bringing $3 per box. best Anjou $2 with 
Sht'idous about the same price. 
Apples are still plenty but demand is 
better and most stock is sold, which is 
more than could be said a while ago as 
many farmers carted part of their loads 
back home as no offer could be got as 
the rule for the part left unsold after 
the morning rush was over. One man 
had an offer of 10 cents per box to dean 
up bis load and the buyer wanted the 
boxes thrown in ; these cost 8 to 10 cents 
each. The offer was not accepted and 
the apples went back to the farm fen- 
cow and hog feed. Prices are stiTl low 
and likely to remain so but if sales can 
lie made at reasonable price many will 
be happy; $2.75 fan- barrel for a few 
fancy Graveustein and Snow is obtained, 
while $1.75 or thereabouts buys many 
other good kinds including Twenty 
Ounce. Wealthy and Alexanders; Mc¬ 
Intosh brings up to $2.50. Baldwin 
about $1.50. Common box stock around 
50 is the rule, but some good stock brings 
up to 81. A few dealers are offering 
$1.25 and #1.50 for Winter apples fur¬ 
nished on board cars at country stations, 
probably this will be about the price for 
a whale at least. 
Best blitter is firm and not too plenti¬ 
ful and brings 33% to 35; medium and 
poor grades are plenty and are worked 
off for good butter when possible (by 
many dealers, prices on this ranges from 
29 to 32. Cheese in rather poor demand 
and sells at 16 to 18. Eggs in good 
demand and supply of fresh nearby not 
heavy, these bring 40 to 45; other grades 
27 to 37. 
Live poultry a little off; hens K5; 
chickens, light weight, about the same 
price; roosters 12. Beef cattle slow 
and prices range from $S.<;> per hundred 
for best down io 3% for • oor grades on 
hoof. Eat hogs, live weight, 9% ; dressed 
11%. -Good veal on hoof 8%. Milch 
cows in better supply than demand, 
prices range from 50 to 85 as the rule. 
Ilay market is reported dull as the 
rule, best horse hay 22; other grades 14 
to 20. Rye straw $16. A slight drop 
in grain has taken place but not enough 
to help out the small buyer much; bran 
824.50 per ton: cottonseed $30; gluten 
$28.50; meal $1.65 per bag. A. E. P. 
Oct. 5. We are quite large potato 
growers and anything on the growing of 
that crop is of interest to life. This year 
we had the largest crop ever grown. 
Many farmers load a car a day, and 
some will load two, a car punning from 
175 to 200 barrels. While the price, ex¬ 
empt for Cobbler, has not been high, the 
big crop has been quite profitable. 
Giants selling during August from $L35 
to $1.50 met 165 pounds. Now they are 
81.25. I have just sold 200 barrels of 
Green Mountain for $2 liere. Apples are 
very low. as there seems to be too many.
