The shipment of Alpena hay to Boston
is novelty, but during the past week
hundreds of wagon loads OF baled hay
have been brought to the steamboat ware
houses for export to that city. The
steamers cannot take 1t away as fast as
desired, and large amount Is stored in
the warehouses awaiting shipment AL
ready nearly 200 tons have been shipped
and it is said some of 1t will go to France.
This demand for hay from outside will
cause several thousand dollars to be paid
to Alpena. A few years ago il q man
had predicted that Alpena would be ex-
porting hay to Boston, he would have
been looked upon as a lunatic.
