The sugar market is making small ship
meDts from time to time and getting
ready for the busy season to come. In the
opinion OF Mr.. Vail, there is still a large
quantity OF last seasons crop held back
by the makers for lack OF demand. This
Is almost wholly the poorer grades that
are used by the tobacco manufacturers for
mixing with the best chewing tobaceos.
The tobacco trust claims to have a years
supply on hand now and preteDds not to
be anxious TO buy, but this may be merely
a blind, as in times past, to discourage
sugar makers to part with their crop at a
low price little later.
l.. Z. Thayer OF Randolph has Just pur-
chased from Hood Farm, Lowell, Mass,
hne young Berkshire boar sired by High
ciere King OF II. f., and from Model Lady

Berkshire breed, may be depended upon

at Hood Farm contains the best imported
and domestic strains of blood. IL is owD-
ed by q. !. Hood and is the home of the |
famous Worlds Fair Jersey cows.
We have apparently got an old -fashio
ed winter this time. Good sleighing |
has continued since. A very heavy storm |
Monday, with disastrous effects
to Ines OF wire. On the hills the snow |
wRsdry ana about foot and a half fell. |
In the valleys il was mixed with and fol- |
lowed by rain, so that not more than six |
lncnes remained, out IL was very heaVy |
and adhered to the wires in a coating two |
Or three inches In diameter, dragging |
them down by its great weight and /
breaking them in many places. Tele-
phone, telegraph and electric light wires
suffered alike. The telegraph lines could
not be worked Glitter way from this sta
lion for over twelve hours. This village
was without lights last night but 1t is
hoped to get them running tonight.
Trains were not much delayed.
