regarded as an exceptional one, as although we
have been gradually approaching q period Of ex.
ceedng dulness still in view OF the many announce
snts for sales next week ana succeeding ones, the
dearth OF transactions this week cannot be put down
wholly the termination of the season so-callsd,
although the period OF complete inactivity which
usually intervenes between the two great seasons OF
auction sales--the spring and ral-Is near. The
principal business during the summer IS in suburban
property, which far this year sold well, at high
figures, but not rapidly or with any appearance OF
undue speculative appreciation. Whether 1t win SO
continue is problem about as difficult Of solution
as how long the present high prices In stocks will
prevail. There are great many who say that there
must be break, but in the majority or cases they
give but insufficient reasons Tor The faith that Is

One OF the largest transactions in Westchester

the artist does not wish to let bad work leave

over which he has no control, he kindly re-
quests mothers to bear in mind that babies
ought to be brought to the Gallery between

First, the actinic power of the SUMS rays are
stronger from sunrise to noon, than from noon
to shutdown. and the strongest if the sun is in
its zenith. Second, Photographer wishes to
make money as well as other people and don't
like to bother with babies if the Gallery is full

FRUIT TREEs.-Large numbers of fruit
trees, of almost every variety, mostly from
Kansas nurseries, have been brought to this
part of the State this fall. Everybody seems
to be buying and putting out fruit trees. Since
Kansas fruit has become so notorious there
seems to be a mania for fruit. Persons who
have lived on a treeless farm for six or eight
years have summoned sufficient courage to buy
a few trees this fall. Every one interested in
the future of Kansas is glad to see this. We
think it should be encouraged. Persons will
meet with better success by planting home
grown trees. Trees have to become aeclimated
as well as men. Prepare the ground properly.
Keep the rabbits from gnawing them. and heed
the advice of those who have raised fruit, and
you will undoubtedly succeed.
