PRACTICAL ELK CULTURE IN THE soUTH.
The South is pre-eminently adapted to
highly profitable silk culture. There sre
thousands Of families in the South to-day
who would be most willing to engage in silk
culture, which is light, easy and profitable
employment for a few months of each year
to the more aged, to the young, and especially
to the women of the family, who may
have no other means of more pro6tably en-

OF the people of the Southern States The
girls OF the farm or city can devote a little
time each year to the raising of silk cocoons,
which does not, and need not, materially in

that now engage their time, and it is by each
household raising silk cocoons that silk Gull
ture must be carried on, as it has always
been in all silk-producing countries.

ST. LOUIS, February S.-The commission
house of Harlow, Spencer & Co. suspended
to-day. They were carrying large amount
of wheat for customers and had put up some
$4,000 margins for them, which had not
been reimbursed, and the break of yesterday
and to-day compelled them to saspend tenn
porarily. They say their assets will more
than pay their liabilities, and they will re-
sumo again in few days, paying dollar for
dollar. A. T. Harlow, the founder of the
firm, withdrew from the house few months
ago on account of poor health, and is now
in New Mexico recuperating. At meeting
of the friends and creditors at the Office Of
the firm this evening, the latter proposed to
settle their debts at the prices which ruled at
the noon call. This has been, or no doubt
will be, accepted, and the house will continue
business.
Later this afternoon the firm of Slayback,
Smith & Co., of which Charles z. SIayback,
president of the Merchants Exchange, is the
head, were reported to be in trouble, and
inquiry disclosed the fact that the house,
which was largely "long" on wheat, had
been called for SCI 900 margins which they
could not meet at once, and fears were felt
that they would be obliged to suspend. 1t
WIS also stated some of their paper in bank
was unpaid. Friends rallied around them,
however, this afternoon, and it was agreed to
firm will not suspend.
J. Schrener " Co., small concern that
failed some time ago and settled satisfacto-
rily, also succumbed to the pressure for
margins and suspended. This firm will not
resume, but the loss by their failure will not
be large.
Rumors are rife that two or three other
houses are crippled, but the above are all
about which anything of a definite nature
il known.
The feeling on Change to-day was one of
great anxiety and uneasiness, and tomorrow
is looked for with good deal Of dread, par
ticularly by the "longs," who have reason TO
think that the tumble in wheat will continue.
The decline in wheat since the close on
Tuesday has been 11sc for March, II &c for
April and 13sc for May. In corn, 45c for
March, 4sc for April and sc for May. The
profits accruing TO ''shorts" by this drop, and
there are said to be but very few of them, are
quite large, one firm being credited with
SOD, 900, and two or three individuals one
of them prominent miller are believed TO
have made 800, 900 each.
Cotton has also declined sharply, and those
on the "bull" side of the staple are gloomy
and depressed, while the "bears" are cor
respondingly exultant. There were dam
aging rumors about heavy cotton firm this
afternoon, but they proved TO be unfounded.
