BIG RUN ON READING
MARKETS SENSATION
Price Advanced First Few Minutes II
l1oM, Setting New Record--0ther
Standard Rails in Demand.

New York. May "a. Reading was
again the sensational feature OF the stock
exchange yesterday, advancing in the
first few minutes to ll024, point over
its previous best price. A week ago
Reading sold as low as 90Ha, and early
in the year its minimum quotation was
1878.
The Reading trading post was sur
rounded at yesterdays opening by scores
of brokers, most OF whom had buying
orders. There were also many of the
professional element who had been caught
short of the stock and were Gag
er to cover From its new high price
Reading fell back to l099s, recovered to
above ITO, and again reacted to l09ss,
a fraction under Mondays close.
+ Other standard rails were taken up,
particularly Union Pacific, Southern Pa
cifie, st. Paul, New York Central, Balti-
more & Ohio, Atchison, Louisville &
Nashville and Atlantic Coast line, at
gains of one to almost two points, the
Harrimans leading.

Picked so2s in Vermont Swamp.

Myron Campbell, the six-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Myron Campbell of Pow
nal Center, is a lucky boy as well as an
honest one, and because of his honesty
he is $25 richer than he was few days
ago.
The little fellow went into swamp
near his home to pick some flowers and
while he was there he came upon small
roll which looked to him like money.
Dropping the flowers he FASTENED to his
home and showed the roll TO his mother.
1t proved to contain 1925 in green
backs, and travellers and certified checks.
The lads parents wrote to the bank
on which the checks were drawn and
in that way learned the address of the
person to whose credit the checks were
made out and got into communication
with her.
She proved to be a wealthy Salt Lake
City woman who lost the money while
motoring through the country few days
before the lad found it. She was at
tracted to the swamp by the same flow
ers that the lad went to pluck and there
she lost the roll. Although she searched
for it, she could not find it among the
reeds and rushes Of the marsh and when
she learned that it had been found and
after the money had been forwarded to
her she sent back her check 20 little
Myron for his honesty.

An Early Editors Accounts.

In the early '40s DIR. s. NJ. Blake was
editor Of the Bellows Falls Argus. F
G. Blake, his son, recently found an old
account book owned by the editor, and
it contains some interesting items. On
the books are names of some of the best
known OF former residents of this town
and Of northern Windham and Cheshire
counties and of Sullivan county Some of
the accounts are marked Settled" and
Others evidently never were paid.
1t is shown that the editor took APP
pies, cheese, pumpkins, wood, butternuts
and other articles in trade for printing
jobs and subscriptions, but when he sold
books Che had bookstore in connection
with the printing and newspaper bust
ness he was satisfied only with cash.
In. those days he sold numerous Bibles
and prayerbooks.
One account shows that he paid 60
cents to hire horse and wagon to go to
Westminster and another that he paid
40 cents for one to 90 to Walpole. To-
day d liyeryman demands $l50 for
rig for either trip. Prices on almost ev
erything but sugar were much lower
than they are to-day The books show
that five and one-half pounds of sugar
cost So cents, in lS43. Nine pounds and
II ounces of veal cost SO cents; 10 pounds
OF butter $l.l0; six dozen eggs so cents;
one bushel of apples IL cents; 81 bushels
of onions 81 cents; l2Is pounds of poul
try "a cents; one cord of wood Sl75;
four pounds of sausage 32 cents.

BEEF CATTLE PRICES STRONG.
Quotations Well Sustained at Brighton
Stockyards.

Brighton, Mass, May 24-Quotations
on beef cattle were well sustained at the
Brighton stockyards yesterday, though
the market lacked something of the snar
noted week ago. Hogs were lower, but
prices for other animals were generally
untouched.
Receipts at Brighton yesterday also
included % cars of mules and seven cars
of horses due to be shipped on the steam
Ter Sachem yesterday.
For the best beef stock, 9091ac seemed
to be about a fair quotation, though Zoe
was realized in at least one case Good
cattle sold at s@s15c and light cattle at
.7@715c.
There was some reaction from last
weeks quotation for low-grsde beef COWS.
the range for Gamers being 31a @4c, with
ordinary cows and slippers at 413@5c.
On the other hand, the better grades of
stock sold distinctly higher, some fancy
cows and heifers at TAOS cents, though
the higher figure was extreme. Good
cows sold at 6@7 cents.
Bulls also were very firm and an oc-
casional fancy animal brought as high
as 8 cents. The range was from 6G7
cents for bolognas, to 7ds cents for the
best stock.
Another advance was noted in the price
of fancy calves, the bunch lots selling
at 9l5@l015 cents, with good lots at
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1916-05-24

500 cents, fair lots at 7as cents, and
grassers and drinkers at 567 cents.
Hogs were lower in sympathy with
the West, the best lots selling yester-
day morning at 10 @l0h cents, with
rough lots at 9a@l0 cents.
Offerings of sheep and lambs contin-
ued light and prices were unchanged at
5aS cents for sheep and 7@l0 cents for
lambs.
Mich cows were in ample supply and
prices were easier. Ordinary mixers sold
at $30@S $50, with good mixers at $500
500, and fancy mixers at Sl00@$l25 and
upwards.

IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Butter and Egg Supply None Too Large
for Demands.


Boston, May 24.-An easier tendency
! in the New York market has had the eff
| feet of making local buyers of butter a
! little more cautious, and since there is
not quite as thorough a cleanup as there
has been recently, there are occasional
sales a little below quotations. The mar
ket cannot be called weak, but holders
are not letting chances for business pass
merely because of slight differences over
prices. TIE cheese market maintains a
strong tone, for the activity OF exporters
in the primary markets not only restricts
the supply of new goods, but also makes
it costly, and old cheese is in seasonably
small supply Demand is not active, but
it is sufficient to make constant inroads
on supplies and there is no room for
decline in prices. Offerings of eggs on
the open market are barely sufficient for
current needs and prices still show an
upward trend.
