Embargo on Diseased Cattle.

Judge John Weeks of Middlebury, who
constitutes the state board Of cattle commits
sioners, since the removal and resignation OF
the members of the former board as result
of the diseased beef scandal. has issued an
order prohibiting the importation of all cattle
into the state of Vermont until permit has
been obtained from him. This action is
taken because of the existence of tuberculc-
sis among cattle in states bordering on Yer
mont and is in line with similar action taken
last spring by the former board.
Permits must be returned to the cattle
commissioner as soon as the animals have
been brought into the state, and such permit
cannot be outstanding more than 80 days.
All cattle will be detained in quarantine
until released by the cattle commissioner or
his agents. Owners Of cattle will be required

VII WILL IT be-
COLD WEATHER AND UP TO THE
SKY GOES THE PRICE
OF EGGS
Warm Weather and Bottom Drops Out
OF the Market--lt Is UP to the
Weather Man-The General Markets
Today.

It's I'D to the weather man. He has
it within his power to send the price |
of eggs down to such a depth that the |
grocer will be ashamed to take your
money at whatever price he sells
them to you; or UP to such lofty
heights that the hen fruit may we'll
class with the diamond, the hard coal
or the potato.
It's up to the weather man A prom
ineht local egg dealer when asked
about the future of the egg market,
replied: "That is a question no mere
man can answer. The market has
reached crisis, where it may 60 UP
or down. 1t is up to the weather. A
| long general cold spell will send the
prices skying as in previous years, but
unless this cold spell naterializes, and
that soon, down it goes with a sicken-
ing thud.
ssAt this time of the year, nearly all
of the storage eggs ought to be in the
markets, but they are not. Thousands
of cases are still in the storage houses.
Already the hens in the south are get
! ting busy and carload after carload OF
4 fresh eggs are being rushed to the
eastern markets.
i Boston is the only city in the
i United States where an official record
is Kept of the eggs in the market. In
that city alone there were over 10000
cases Of storage eggs last week as
against about 100000 the same week
last year. If it gets warm all the salt
petre in the world won't save those
t eggs. Again unless a cold spell stops
the hens from laying the fresh eggs
i will run the storage eggs off the mar
ket and they will go es any old price.
"The weather in this section does
!, not mako much difference. If the cold
|. spell that began yesterday is general
t and of long duration, up go the eggs
) But If it isn't then look out for the
9 crash.
8 'The buyer Of eggs today is merely
Specializing on the weather; some
, dealers are buying eggs and storing
: them even now, while others won
touch them at any price,
at Is gamble anyway you look
It. and anybody who attempts to fore
tell which way the hen product will g
: Is taking out bigger contract that h
e can fulfill In any other way than by
3 lucky guess" -
II Another local dealer, when ques
. toned about this matter, answere
= along the same lines, and finished wit
!. this statement: 1--WE are not buying
e. case Of eggs a week now. They sin
IS ply don't look good to us at an
price"

be here with young colts and mules
from weanlings up. also have. in.
quiries from a goodly number 81! OF
farmers an dstock men who will be
here to buy all such colts, some OF
them wanting eight or ten head apiece.
This portion of the sale occurs at the
noon hour. We want to open the sale lits
at 9 o'clock and will probably begin
on Southerners, as all our southern
buyers get in early. 1t is on TINS
class Of stock that we expect to be
shortest in this sale. AS it has been
advertised all over the territory from
| which we draw horses, as a Specia
Draft Horse Sale, our buyers are PICK
| ing up mostly the draft class, to the
| neglect of other classes. But we VIII
have more buyers than ever we have
had for Southerners and farm stock
/ So If you have something In thest
classes me here, as we will need every
horse we can get. Twenty-Five ship.
