Dun’s Review Explains Its Influence
Upon Our Business.

WHEAT’S REMARKABLE RISE

Stocks Continue to Rule Steady Despite
the Efforts of Small Speculators to
Cause a Great Break—The
Failures of the Week.

2}.—R. G. Dun &
. . trade says:

New York, April

If either Turkey or Greece had been

wholly buried in the sea, markets might

have been affec.ed less than by the
outbreak of war in Europe. Like a fire
in the heart ofia crowded city, it raises
the question whether a. general con-
flagration may spring out of it. To
this possibility, and not to the direct in-
fluence of either Turkey or Greece upon
the world’s money or prodgce markets,
was due the excitement in grain and
stocks. As the unknown is magnified,
American markets were much more
flighty than European, where the pos-
sibilities have been discussed and part-
ly discounted for months. But the un-
certainty remains, and will affect move-
ments of money and staples until it dis-
appears, creating a larger demand for
American products at higher prices,
causing hasty speculative selling of se-
curities at times, but also more con-
tinuous buying by foreign investors,
and not improbably influencing the at-
titude of foreign powers on questions
important to this country.

W'heat rose 6 cents from Thursday to
Monday and hasretained most of the
rise. Since Russia and the Danubian
states will be likely to ship wheat scan-
tily, especial needs and much higher
prices being possible there, I. larger
share of the requirements of western
Europe may naturally be drawn from
this country, and the chance of a war
between great powers has the more in-
fluence because supplies hel‘d are not
large. While western receipts do not
yet increase, and in three weeks have
been but 5,641,001 bushels against 5,933,-
199 last year, Atlantic exports begin to
gain slightly, amounting to 1.190.329
bushels, flour‘ included, against 1,085,764
last year, and for three weeks hay:
been 3,588,170 bushels against 3,453.679
last year. But the great increase is
still in corn, of which the price has
scarcely advanced.
affected scarcely at all, though govern-
ment estimates that the flooded dis—
tricts yielded nearly 500,000 bales, for
increased acreage in other sections gen-
erally reported. ‘

The Stock llIarket.

Stocks have again shown the steadi-
ness which has so often given proof
that holders are not weak nor timorous.
London selling of 40,000 shares depress-
ed a little and London buying of 35,000
later, with covering of shorts, put prices
for railways back where they were a
,Week ago. The hand to mouth specu-
lators rushed in on war news for a
great break, which did not come. Earn-
ings for April thur: far have been 1.3
per centlsmaller than last year and 7.0
per cent smaller than 1892, the differ-
ence in mileage making the decrease
per mile somewhat larger. Tonnage re-
ports show decrease in grain, but a good
eastbound movement otherwise and a
larger westbound movement than in
other months this year, though less
than is usual in April. The steady de-
mand for bonds continues, with scarce-
ly any foreign selling. Clearing House
returns appear better than of late, but
owing to the holiday do not accurately
indicate the volume of business.

Foreign exchange was artificially ad-
vanced to the exporting point, but
bankers then conferred and agreed, so
that the rate quickly relapsed, and it is
worth noting that no withdrawals of
gold from the treasury occurred. Mon-
ey is easy at 3%; per cent for commer-
cial loans, which are few,'and mainly
on account of dry goods and other im—
ports.

Failures for 15 days of April have
been $6,148,055 in amount against $6,559,-
13 in 16 days last year, $5,975,592 in 18
days of 1895 and $6,988,688 in 19 days of
1894. Manufacturing were $2,572,046
against $3,070,137 last year and $2,632,770
in 1895 and $2,810,194 in 1894. Trading
were $3,115,535 against $3,252,678 last,
year, $3,288,722 in 1895 and $3,841,095 in
1894. The variation in different years
at this period is singularly narrow.
Failures" for the week have be!” “13 in‘
the United States against 235 last year,
and 21 in Canada against 44 last year.

Three Facts.

(1) The; money supply of this country
and‘of the world at large is not con-
tracting, but increasing rapidly; (2)
the low price of farm products is caused
by increased production, not by contrac-

tion of the currency; (3) free coinage of '

silver would not improve the condition
of any one and would be the cause of
great hardships and privations to the
wage earning clueses and all persons of
small means.

The Bubonic Plague.

Bombay, April 23.—The total of the
cases of bubonic plague here up to date
is 11,706, and there have been 10,020
deaths from that cause. Many of the
inhabitants ofBombay are now return-
ing to this city.

 

Burglars at Niles.

Niles, 0., April 23.—Five masked men
broke into the residence of John Quin-
lin today, and after gagging and bind-
ing him ransacked the house and se-
cured $1,200 in currency, besides lots of
valuable jewelry. -

Electricity on Farms.
'E'Tv’s has passed the experimental

sings in at least one toxxn' in Ger-
1": here a farm is equipped with
{-li-a'll‘lc lamps. The motive power
\ {shamed by a small brook, which
turbine wheel furnishing 16
to 22 horse power. The turbine drives
a dynamo, which develops all the
electricity needed. Wires of different
sizes, strung on poles, conduct light
and power to the yards, garden,
dwelling, barns and other farm build-
ings. A small motor drives the power
for the stables, a turning lath, a
grindstone and a large band saw. A
large motor is mounted on iron
wheels, and together with the thresh-
ing machine, can be put into any barn
to be connected there by an electric
current with a small cable. The sys-
tem of handling the motor is so simple
that any farm hand can~ readily un-
derstand it. The 34,000 horse power
USed last year cost $1,428; or a little
more than 4 cents per ' horse power
per hour. Compared with other work-
ing expenses, a saving was made of
$285 a year in favor of the electric
plant. Power is always ready, enabl-
ing the farmer to employ his hands
at once in threshing ' in , case bad
weather or some other reason pre-
vents them from working in the
fields.

 
 

Value of Cornstalks.

Mr. Prater of St. Louis, who has
studied the cornstalk scientifically,
thinks that within a few years the
farmers of the country will be receiv-
ing from $15 to $25 per acre for their
cornstalks. Mills will be established
in the south and other parts of the
country, he says, and pretty nearly
the whole crop of cornstalks—at any
rate that part of the crop which is
grown on farms contiguous to rail-
road lines—will be used in the mills.
The market fbr the manufactured
products is already made, as the pro-
ducts will be stap-le articles in con-
stant demand. Of the products that
may be evolved from the matured
cornstalk—the stalk which has borne
its grain—Mr. Prater enumerates cel-
luloid, smokeless gunpowder, lacquer,
cattle feed, roofing material, and a
material that will answer every pur.
pose of papier miache. Green stalks,
he says, are rich in gpcose, and. will
yield “a better qualit‘y‘r and-a finer su-
gar with less expense than can be
made from the cane og Louisiana."

Moisture in CéleryGrowing.

I prepare the ground-early in the
spring, sow the seed where the sun
healthy
growth. After sowing ,the seed, cover
up the bed with old carpet or old bugs
and keep moist. Moisture is an es-
sential in celery growing. Leave the
covering on the beds until the plants
are all up, then remove and keep the
ground moist and free froni weeds.
The middle of July I prepare the
ground for the plants by digging
trenches about ten inches deep, and
put in each trench three inches well
rotted manure and two inches soil.
Take up the plants and cut off the
tallest leaves, and thoroughly wet the
roots and set in the trench. Do not
puddle around plants; it is injurious.
Kecp free from weeds and earth up,
and you are almost sure of success. I
raised the” Giant Pascal last year, and
better celery I never servo—Theodore
B. Huff, Morris 00., N. J.

Rotation of Crops.

The rotation of crops is undoubted-
ly one of the most important prob-
lems for farmers to consider who
“wish to obtain the best crops for a
series of years at the least expense
for manure or fertilizers. At the Min-
nesota station mangel-wurzcls gave
the best yield after peas; wheat and
flax after potatoes; corn, potatoes and
peas after corn. The hoed crops. es-
pecially corn, potatoes and mangels,
gave a, good effect in preparing the
land for other crops, while the reverse
is true for flax, wheat and even field
peas. e largest yield of field peas
was given by White Canada, followed
by Alpha, Blue Prussian, Crown and
Green Canada. French Chevalier
proved to be the best out of 34 vari—
eties of barley, followed by Odessa,
Champion of .V‘ermont, Highland
Chief, Black Hulless andJSalzcsr-De-
trovit Free Press. '

 

Care in Selecting Seed Potatoes.

'1 made three applications of bor-
deaux mixture to my potatoes last
summer. The result at harvest was
that not one bushel in 50 showed any
signs of rot or scab. A portion o-f’iny
seed potatoes was grown on new
burnt land, just cleared from a heavy
forest growth. Few farmers are as
careful as they should be in, the selec-
ln order
to save a few cents per bushel at
planting time, they lose as many dol-
lars at harvest. Poor seed never pro-
duced a good crop: and good seed
hardly ever fails of producing" a good
crop—E. E. Barkhurst. Arocszook
County}, Me.

“height of Onions.

The legal weight of onions varies
considerably in the different states.
New York has no legal statute in that
regard, but in New Jersey and the
south it is 57 pounds per bush-cl, ex-
cept Tennessee, 56, the same in most
of the West, while in Connecticut and
Ohio it is only 50 pounds, Maine, Ver-
mont, Massachusetts and the Dakotas
52 pounds, Michigan 54, Indiana 4.8
pounds. .

headaches so that we have had 'to keep
her out of school a good deal. I sent
her to Plaisted’s drug store, South Nor-
walk after a bottle of California Ca-
tarrh Cure and she commenced using it.
Its beneficial. effects have been simply
wonderful. It has helped her “from the
first in every way. I have not heard her
complain of a headache for a long time,
and by the time she has finished her first
bottle, I feel confident that she will be
cured.” '
