HONEY PRODUCED IN MIDDLE
BURY.

Some idea may be gained of the
honey producing possibilities of Yer.
mont from the fact that the firm of j.
E. Crane & Son of Middlebury have for
some time boen bringing in from its
aplarles an average of ton of honey a
day. Crane honey is known through
out New England and far beyond its
borders, and the containers used by this
firm carry the name of Vermont to far
distant points.
j. E. Crane, the senior member of the
firm who is one of the State inspectors
of aparies, recently visited West Rut-
land and burned up an entire yard of
bees, consisting of some 20 hives, be-
longing to resident of that town,
disease having gained .headway among
the bees.

The cut means the abolition OF the

ROTTERDAM AGENTS
PRESERVE SILENCE
Proposed Russian Issue Said to
Be Treasury Bills and
Not Bonds.

The promised statement was not
forthcoming yesterday from the Amer
ican-Russian Corporation concerning
announcement on Saturday. Francis
$. Taggart. vlce-president OF the COM
pany said there might be an announce
ment to-day.
Omcials Of the corporation took the
attitude yesterday that ipasmuoh as
they had not offered any Russian Sc
curitics to the public. and were en-
gagged In a private business. there was
no reason why they should make any
statement. The Information gathered
from friends Of the corporation was to
the effect that Lord Rotterdam. a
wealthy London banker. had made a
contract with the Russian Government
to supply It with products over a period
of ten years. and to pay for the products
by means OF Russian treasury notes.
with that understanding II is now
explained. representatives OF Lord Roth
erham. including Hugh Sutherland and
Mr.. Taggart. came TO this country to
start negotiations for the purchase Of
supplies and the disposal Of tho notes.
The frs, move Of the concern. II Is said.
was to Offer contracts TO various manu-
facturcrs In this country and to specify
payment In Russian treasury notes.
The manufacturers. while glad to get
the contracts. declined to take the notes.
Accordingly. representatives OF th-
American-Russian Corporation visited
banks In cities and towns where the
manufacturers had their plants and
pointed out IN tSe bankers the value OF
these contracts in the stimulating OF
other business. and prevailed on them,
4, 10 said. TO discount the treasury bills
provided the manufacturers took the
contract.
such. in brief. is said TO be the plan OF
operation Of the corporation. II. was said
Yesterday that Lord Rotterdam had re-
ceived the treasury notes from the Rus
sian Government. and through his agents
here was planning to put his plan into
effect. Then came the announcement OF
the Russian Embassy to the effect that
the American-Russian Corporation ant
Lord Rotterdam were not authorized e
place Russian 8 per cent. bonds on the
American market.
