disappointment to western commission

low normal volume and eastern buyers
have been insistent on obtaining their
supplies at lower prices. Dealers for

fall season advanced the market would
rally and prices advance, to the high
level of the spring trade. No indica-
lions have developed that eastern fall
demand will increase over current pro-
portions or prices materially change
the balance of the year. Commission
dealers are advising country shippers
to buy their horses cheaper If they ex-

Edmunds Ste re Burned at Troy

Thursday evening, Jan. 9th at
about ten O'Clock the village of Troy
was startled by the sound of an ex-
plosion, and flames were seen bursting
from the A. w. Ell nunds store and
although help was at hand almost inn
mediately the fire had made such
headway nothing could be saved from
the store. although by hard work the
Edmunds house was saved but in a
badly damaged condition. The house
of Bradley Houston was badly scorched
and glass cracked. The store, goods
and houses were all sured, cause of
the fire is unknown as everything was
all right at closing hour, six O'Clock.
Masonic meeting and a social at the
vestry made good number of people
near at hand which was fortunate and
the mill whistle and telephone soon
called help from Westfield and the
farms. An insurance agent who was
present was loud in praise of the man
ner in which the fire was handled. 1t
is hoped the store will be rebuilt as
Mr.. and Mrs. Edmunds are fine young
people and have many friends in town.
The post-office and few goods that
arrived since the fire are now located
in the Hodsden store building. The
M. E. Ladies' Aid society lost their
dishes and tables and the GraQge their
organ, dishes, tables. records. etc.,
which were in the Edmunds hall.

The department estimates that rural
mail carriers were compelled during
the past year to fish son 300, 900, ,00(
copper cents out of mail boxes, and a
good many millions of these we're fro
zen to the bottom of the box, too. The
result has been a considerable delay
in the collection of mail.
