Ry the Towns Hotel Fire Last Week---

Business matters connected with the re-
suits of last weeks fire in Towns hotel

est to most citizens during the past week,
w. j. Eaton d Co. are located in banquet
hall in the opera house block, with insur-
ances not adjusted they having failed to
agree with the adjusters of their three
companies. They agreed upon an apprais-
al upon the stock by jewellers Dana Coy of
Windsor and A. B. Clapp of Brattleboro,
which is only partially completed. Their
fixtures were left to Architect Beckwith of
Claremont and another man familiar with
such work, and they have not yet reported.
The Times states the losses of Dun
ham Brothers and j. T. Keefe were
adjusted Tuesday, the former at SlOC
and the latter at about $1,000, also
that Mrs. Townss furniture insurance
was adjusted at about $1,000. The insur-
ance upon the drug stock of Mrs. 5. I.
Andrews was also adjusted Tuesday, Mrs.
Andrews expressing herself as fully salts
fed with the result.
Mrs. Andrews has placed her prescrip-
ton case in the rear of c. II. Williams S
stationery store and her other stock in his
basement, so she is in condition to serve
her customers readily and make reduction
in prices for the soiling of labels upon hel
patent medicines and proprietary articles
and as the labels "are not taken" her Gus
toners are reaping a large advantage upon
many things.
j. T. Keefe has decided to keep his
stock in his store in the block and sell
from it, closing it all out quickly.
LAWYER Robb, who acts for Mrs. Towns
says he employed Architect Beckwith Of
Claremont day or two after the fire tc
estimate the damage to the building fol

the figures Mr.. Robb was dissatisfied will

builder to review Mr.. Beckwith's estimate

The aggregate assurances paid to al

The End OF Very Poor Sugar Season

Ihe Emu OF very POOr sugar Season'
The sugar season has proved decided
disappointment to our makers, many of
whom have not been able to ill their or
ders. There has not been a single good
sap day during the season. A few have
made about half their usual amount, some
a third and others less than that. Proba-
bly, not over one-third the usual product
has been obtained in this region. The
season is now at an end and the buckets
are being gathered. l.. F. McQuaid tap
ped a portion of his trees March 6. On
the next day there was a raging blizzard.
He gathered no sap until the last day of
the month and says that he shall be care
full hereafter about tapping in the middle
of the winter. Various reasons are given
for the failure, such as depth of snow,
want of frost in the ground, the warm
days in February when do doubt the sap
started copiously, the frequent storms, the
cold weather in March, etc. 1t is evident
that the conditions which determine the
flow of sap have not been right all through
the season. A small quantity only has
been produced and that at much more
than the usual cost. The producers of the
real article lose, but the imitation makers
have rare chance which they will fully
improve. n -

STOCKS STEADY.
There Is No Material
Change in Prices
in Boston.
COPPER KEEPS UP,
New York Traders on Bear
Side-News and
Notes.

Stock market trading fell off in vol
unae and prices continued to sag in New
York yesterday.
In Boston there was little animation
and some specialties were heavy, but
the general list was steady without ma
terial changes in prices. The trouble
in New York seems to be the elimina-
ton of the short interest in the brisk
recovery which began Monday and the
indisposition of the public to renew
purchases. Left to themselves, with
much support from commission house
buying. the traders naturally incline to
the bear side and the marking up OF
sterling exchange rates again gives the
suggestion of possible gold outgo, where
a year ago we were importing heavily.
The idea has obtained firm lodgment
in the public mind that THE cream is
off the 1899 boom" and with crop I'M
certainties and the workings Of inter-
national balances less favorably to us,
the disposition is to go slower ana 10
inquire more carefully about purchases.
An immense amount of securities has
been fioated, and time is needed for d.
costing the same, so to speak While
general conditions of industry and n
is good, there is a feeling that the most
has been made of this in the stock mar
ket. that Wall street has succeeded in
measuring the Importance of Industrial
revival and expansion, and perhaps has
overdone it. At any rate, there IS no
great public rush to buy stocks; the
public remembers the shock to the mar
ket of last week, and the carefully con-
Quoted rally on the shorts this week
seems TO have failed to induce much
buying from this much-desired support
ing element.
Yesterday prices sagged generally in
Wall street, with little of marked fea-
ture, and at 2 p. m. the average of 25
leading stocks was not = lower than at
the close yesterday, while it cannot be
denied that the comparative dizziness
on reactions as contrasted with activ-
ity on rising prices is favorable fea-
ture There will be numerous rises yet,
but it looks as if the market were get
ting more and more into the rut of pro-
fessionalism and less and less of pub
lie interest.
The following quotations were made
on the Boston exchange yesterday on
stocks held in Worcester and vicinity:
