Road Commissioners Meet


sented by its Road Commissioner,
Some of the towns were represented
by Selectmen. There were also other
interested parties present from other
towns.
Through the courtesy of Sheriff
Stevens the meetings were held in
the Court House. r. y,.... .......
The Road Commissioners in at
tendance were:
Belvdere-F. A. Fletcher.
Cambridge-B. E Reynolds.
Eden--J S. Emery
Elmorf-C. W Merriam
Hyde Park-E. V. Lilley, Fl. N. Hurlburt.
Johnson-Ed. Parker

Wolcott-A E. Woodmansee.
Craftsbury-P. Kigarln.
Westford-E 7. Hobart.
Hyde Park Village-H. l.. Stevens.
Morrisvllle-A. N. Boynton, Trustee.
The meeting was under the direc-
ton of Charles W.Gates of Franklin,
State Highway Commissioner, and
it proved an occasion of great bene-
fit to all who attended. The morn
ing session was devoted to an adj
dress by Professor ]. W. Votey of
Burlington, on Highway Improve
ments and the Material to be Used. {"
The speaker emphasized the advan-
tages of earth roads in localities
where the proper materials are OBJ
tainable and gave much excellent adj
vice as to the proper method of con-
struction and the care that is needed.
He pointed out the necessity of select
ing the best material and exhibited
large number of gravel samples by
way of illustration. Photographs
were also shown, illustrating the
different remedies for muddy roads,
etc.
Gov. Page was called upon for
a few remarks and said among other
things that good roads were the best
inducement for summer visitors.
The days of numbering will soon be
over and how best to get summer
visitors would be an important CUES
ton. He believed that in no better
way could this be reached than by
making good roads.
In the afternoon Mr.. Gates took
up the subject of state road work,
outlining the course which is recon-
mended by the commission. Gravel,
Telford gravel and V shaped stone
roads are the three kinds for which
state money will be given, and
gravefhas been named first because
it is the most important, Mr.. Gates
said that gravel roads are especially
well adapted for Lamoille county
on account of the quantity of excel
lent material which can be found in
the different towns, and commended
the work that is beng done along
this line by some of the county COM
missioners.
Informal remarks were made by
several others and this together with
the addresses above referred to and
the various questions asked the
State Commissioner, made the meet
ings very interesting and we are sure
the Commissioners and all Others
present were highly repaid for the
time put in in attending the same.
Mr. Gates is a very practical man,
has had large experience in road
building and road work and it was
the general opinion of those who
met him yesterday that Gov. Bell
made no mistake in appointing him
to the important office of State High
way Commissioner.
Mr.. Gates emphasized the impor-
lance of towns retaining Road Com
missioners, not making frequent
shifts, but when town gets a good
man to keep him in the place.

While the country continues to
gain in population by migration
from Europe, it loses, though to a
less extent, by emigration from the
Northwest. Ottawa advices are to
the effect that the volume of emigra-
ton to the United States north
ward this year will be even heavier
than last. The principal movement
is from the states of Washington,
Montana, Idaho and Oregon, though
emigration agencies recently estab-
lished in the east are sending large

 The heavy remittances to foreign money markets are regarded as in the nature of loans due to Paris needs, in connection N-th the Russian depression, and to oper ations in connection with the Mexican loan here, and to redemption of large amounts of American railroad notes held alroad. The New York money market continues so largely supplied as to oc- casion difficulty In finding employment for the banking reserves. Large offerings at the stock exchange keep the call loan rate down to the limit of profitable em- ployment, and serve as an effective stimu- lant to the buying of securities Many of them with borrowed money profitable The absorption for investment demand is also the result of the advantage of fered in interest and dividend returns on securities over the yield on loans in the money market The outbreak of a violent freight war over export grain traffic be- tween the gulf and Atlantic port lines was practically ignored.

 Der of Stocks.
MONEY TO BE MORE SCARCE

New York, February 4.-Realizing sales for the end of the week were in con- Siderable force during the short session Of the stock market today, and finally oyercame the market, making the closing weak and a point below last night for Some of the speculative leaders. The Pennsylvania group and the Paeifics, in- cluding Missouri Pacific, were especially affected by the profit taking. There was as little to accent selling as there had been for buying during the week. so far as any specific newse bearing on the individual properties was concerned.
 The bank statement may have con- taihed a suggestion that the present re- dundancy of money will not continue def initely under the operation of forces now at work. The weeks outgo of gold in spite of the inflow from the interior, caused the expected decrease of over $5.00o 444 in the cash reserves of the banks. The loan expansion of SIP, ,44s, 500 lifted the level of deposits and the reserve require- ments at the same time so as to furnish the net result of a shrinkage of S7g,137,- G25 in the surplus reserve of the banks. The foreign exchange market held firm ly today and offered no indications that the heavy outgo of gold would be dupli- cated or exceeded next week.
 Attention was attracted to the fact.
 however, that the country sent out last week 5,300,000 bushels of corn, which Is considerably in excess of any other week S shipments for over four years past. As a source of replenishment for the exchange market this movement must be accorded consideration. The Pacific refunding oper- alton and yesterdays quick sale of S75,- 090O0 of these bonds, must be reckoned with in estimating the future showing of bank loans The progress of efforts toward securing consolidated party action on the federal control of freight rates lad some effect on sentiment and may hase prompted the growing selling move iaeut.

Ware C LeIand,s Market Letter.

New York, February 4.-July cotton sold at :. S today and May at I.39 This rep resented d rise of about 5 points, or A of cent in less than two weeks.
 The rise was such as to attract more or less profit-taking. This was to be ex- pected. The short selling too was az gressive and of the kind that promises trouble in the event of a rise above 7ia cents, which is not now expected.
 Those who covered on the break below cents are selling at 7ik cents for July or thereabouts and it is expected that cot ton held in the south will begin to come out at this figure. This may and may not be true. That remains to be seen But as there is short cotton being put out on every rise, there will be big short covering on a break Those who are now taking profits will buy 5ain and it Is highly improbable that the market will again work as low as it did.
 It would seem as though the conserva- tive plan would be to go rather slow on the buying side at the moment and wait for a setback before buying Those who followed our plan of buying October at ' cents and selling out at half cent profit and wait for break to buy again. The situation Is more encouraging to buy CTS than for some months.
