The quarantine on cattle in New Eng
land is more sweeping than at first sup
posed. 1t has affected the business of
this largest hide handling house in the
country-that of ex-Gov. Page of Hyde
Park. The shipping of hides out of
Vermont has been brought, practically
to a standstill, but it has not affected
the buying. Gov, Page is buying hides
the same as before the quarantine order.
He told me the other day that he hoped
and that it was his opinion, that the
shipping restrictions would be removed
before long. An interesting feature of
the Governors business the past few
weeks has been the preparing for mar
ket of special skins which were sold to
toy goods manufacturers, the skins go
ing into the making of rocking horses
and smaller articles for the boys and
girls at holiday time. These special
hides have been brought from all Sec
tions, the entire product of the Swifts
at Kansas City and St. Joseph having
been purchased to fill orders.
