The warm weather of the past few
days has put stop to the flow of sap
in all but the latest of sugar orchards \
and bids fair to bring the season to an
close. Only a very small 4
of sugar has been made COM
pared to last seasons crop, local mer-
chants being unable to get enough TO I
fill more than a small portion of their
orders. In the hill towns the quantity h
of snow which is still on the ground h
may help make some more sugar
weather, but in the vicinity of Brattle
boro all hopes of even fair season
are gone as the trees will begin bud !
ding before long. The price of sugar I
dropped to 25 cents the first of the
week but has risen again to Is cents
and will probably not go below that +
figure. :
