LOCAL PRODUCE MARKETS.
How Agricultural Towns Can Assist II
Preventing "cornsrs" In Produce.

Now and then complaint is heard of
how the large packing houses and
handlers of produce manipulate prices
Of eggs and poultry. These concerns
are enabled to do this through their
facilities for extensively handling
goods and preserving them in their
mammoth cold storage plants Their
system is to buy in the lowest market
and hold the produce until the demand
is such that prices reach the top notch.
1t is evident that were the business
men Of small towns to follow out to
some extent the plans Of these large
houses, the home market would be ma
terially improved. In the agricultural
towns merchants are the most extern
sive handlers of farmers produce.
This business is incidental to the mer-
camille business. and few merchants
have proper facilities for the storing
and proper care Of perishable goods,
therefore, Immediately upon receiving
supplies from the farmer consign-
ments are made to the commission
houses In the large cities, and thus are
the large commission men enabled to
obtain control OF the markets and to
manipulate prices.
Each agricultural community pro-
duces enough poultry and eggs and
miscellaneous dairy products to sup.
port a prosperous exclusive produce
house. But when the articles that the
farmers have for sale are distributed
among dozen or more stores, each
acting independently. 1t is evident that
highest market prices cannot be paid.
The plan proposed for the organiza.
ton Of cooperative produce companies
in each town has many desirable
points in its favor At small expense

lily to handle all perishable products
OF the community can be put in order.
A plant OF this kind. II rightly man.
aged. would greatly improve the con.
ditions OF the local markets and higher
prices could be paid for produce than
the merchants could afford to pay for
the same
A number Of towns in the middle
west have adopted this system. and
with success. Not alone have the
home markets been greatly improved.
but a greater volume of trade has
been brought to the merchants. Should
this plan be universally followed. in

SEVERE SHOCK

London. June 22.-This city is gasping

been attributed to mental instability and
might have resulted in action by the

ed with open-mouted wonderment by the
patrons of the hotel and also by the
throngs hurrying to work in the street.
The employees of the hotel were thrown
into a condition OF CONSERVATION by the
apparition OF the tall man with the bushy,
white nair in the blue bathrobe stalking
through the lobby. and they were az hrst
inclined to protest. But they finally set
IL down to excessive eccentricity, ana

AT|-MERGER BILL
VERY RADICAL R. R.
MEN DECLARE

New Haven, Conn, June 22.--The
Massachusetts, bill designed to restrain
the consolidation of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford and the Bos-
to nand Maine, TO which third read
ing was given in the Massachusetts
house yesterday, is regarded as GER
tain TO be passed by that body within
q week and has caused a tremendous
stir among railroad officials here.
The general talk indicates that the
measure is considered very radical and
as going far beyond western legisla-
ton in it's bearing on the powers OF
railroad corporations and their stock
holders.
The bill. from the local railroad view
point is regarded critically in two as
poets First It's restraint OF the powers
Of private stockholders TO transfer their
shares to other interests. and, secondly.
the possible clash OF the bill. If II should
become law, with rights and powers of
the Boston and Maine corporation under
legislation OF Maine and New Hampshire.
The bill as a law is regarded as pretty
certain to raise grave constitution and
Interstate questions not likely to be set
tied until after much litigation.
An interesting question which has also
arisen is the bearing OF the Boston and
Maine merger and the possible Massachu-
setts Legislation on the new Issue OF New
York. New Haven and Hartford rail-
road stock. The directors OF the New
Haven company several months ago voted
TO issue new stock In the ratio. as was
understood. of one new share TO each four
shares outstanding. But the Issue. then
intended for announcement In July. was
subsequently, deferred until next autumn.
Boston and Maine stockholders exchang-
ing their shares for those OF the New
Haven corporation would share i'm the
new stock OF the latter company except
as the transaction may be affected by
new Massachusetts, legislation
The question OF the future new stock
issue thus enters as a factor In the
exciting merger complications. The
price at which the new shares are TO
be offered TO stockholders has not been
fixed by the New Haven directors. I'm
der a bill passed several weeks ago
by the Connecticut general assembly
and now law, the convertible deben-
ture holders OF the New York, New
Haven and Hartford company were

stock issue To the amount OF two thirds
OF their holdings.
