THE MARKETS.
PRICES OF PRODUCE IN MDDLEBURY
BUTTER AND EGGS.
BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.

From Wednesdays Boston Journal
The butter market has had a notable exper.
fence during the week under review. The
slow trade early last week was followed by
an expected drop in prices of about | cent.
which demoralized buyers and induced them
to hold off until they knew what was to come
next For day or two 1t was doubtful
whether prices would 90 lower or settle on
the basis of the decline and regain strength.
That was the condition OF the market on Sat
urday. Some decided features were expected
on Monday, put the unseasonably hot weather
prevented operations, and the outlook was
as uncertain as ever. Yesterday Tuesday
there was steadier feeling, and, although
the rain storm in:erfered with large transac-
tons, confidence in values was TO some extent
restored, and small buyers were disposed to
operate.
There was hardly enough done in whole,
sale way to give n reliable basis for quota
tions, but receivers of fine fresh Vermont and
New Hampshire We're making some sales at
2lH cents, while others averred that few buy
ers were willing to pay over Il cents, and
that that was all the market should be quoted
Perhaps as the market stands, quotation of
81 to 2i's cents will be about right, with the
understanding that large lots could not be
forced OF at over 81 cents. This means for
lots in assorted size tubs. Boxes were not
offered under % cents, with some sales n. 22a
cents, and prints were not plentiful at 22a
cents.
An easier tendency has been developed in
the market for cheese, owing to the lower
rates In the interior and the light export
movement, but holders of fine stock are not
forcing business at material concessions.
ooiuo SUN quote rs HlSu AS ia cents, out TOT
large lots no more than llA to ia cents
could be obtained. Fair to good grades are
in light stock and held fairly steady at l0IS to
l04 cents. In jobbing way the best twins
still rule at IL cents.
Tn" demand for eggs suffered somewhat
from the heat on Monday, and the rain on
Tuesday, but n firm tone was maintained,
ana the situation is about as strong and
healthy as ever. Fresh gathered Eastern
ruled steady at 81 to 81 cents, and fancy near.
by lots Mt 90 to 2s cents. Refrigerator stock
In fair demand at u to lTls cents for choice
early packed.
Hay is quiet at SIS dl9 per ton for best. Me.
dunn grades are selling at sl7al7 So and low
grades at Sl5dl6 per ton. Rye straw Is strong
at $l5 509l6 80 per tom Oat straw firm at $95l0.

THAT ASSESSMENT QUESTION.

ONE prominent Democrat and we'll
TODD farmer was SO strongly affected by
The IsI.ANDER's reply to the circular
and communication of the East Sound
Bryan Club last week that he ordered
his subscription discontinued, taking
OCCASION to express himself in language
that could leave no room for doubt as
TO his feelings oh the subject. His
sensltiyeness seems clearly traceable to
the fact that he is one of a compare
tively few farmers whose assessment
for 1900, heretofore very low, is. nlateri-
ally increased. We would not mention
The matter now if he had not stated
quite publicly aud enlphatically that
the statements contained in THE ISL

AMBER were not true. And in this
connection we merely desire to say
that If he cali disprove any statement
that. THE ISLANDER made In the arti-
Gle in question, upon any material
point, we will cheerfully apologize to
him as a representative taxpayer, for
we have no disposition to mislead our
readers upon any matter and would be
foolish indeed to knowingly misrepre-
set facts of public record. The ISL
AMBER distinctly stated that the farm
assessments given were "the valua-
tons in 1898 and 1899 upon some of the
finest farms in the county," And yet
knowing this full well the local Demo
cratic committee got out a "dodger"
making lame attempt to show that
The ISLANDER had misrepresented
the facts. They gave five or six assess
ments for 1860 showing an increase
over the previous year, but took good
care not to institute any comparisons
with 1890 or 1893 in support of the
Bryan clubs declaration that ''since
1890 the assessed valuation of all farm
ing lands has continually climbed
higher and higher" And further than
that they omitted from their "dodger"
two assessments reported in The ISL.
AMBER which are materially lower
upon the roll of 1900 than upon that of
1899, and the assessment of Mr.. Tul-
Look was given according to his detail
list without stating that it had been
reduced by the board of equalization
upon his own showing.
The twenty-six per cent increase in
the Roche Harbor Lime Compauy's
assessment since 1898 was not touched
upon, and good care was taken not to
call attention to the fact that the Pa
citic-American Fisheries Company paid
taxes this year upon an assessment four
times asgreat as the Island Packing
Company paid upon four years ago,
when Mr.. Void was county treasurer.
1t seldom profits any person or any
party to undertake to work upon the
prejudices of the people. 1t is farsbet-
ter to appeal to their reason, judgment
and common sense. Public officials
are best Judged by their acts. 1t is
results that count. The Republican
county committee in reply to Mr..
Wold's personal circular endorses the
statements contained In Tia ISL
AMBER of last week as absolutely cor
rect" and the official record for econ.
omy and efficiency in the admininstra-
ton of county affairs is briefly sulnmar-
lied as follows:
Five years ago the county's indebt-
edness Was approximately $22,5OO. To-
day the total lnterest-bearing debt is
only 5000, and there Is now in the
county treasury $l,645 available for
further reduction, aud IN addition
there will be at least 5000 which can
be applied to the same purpose from
the second half of the 100 taxes vet to
he paid. Aud bear In mind that the
tax levy for 1900 is only l5.47 mills, the
lowest in the county's history.''
