THE MONEY MARKET.
SUNDAY, Feb. 25-P. NJ.

& SUNDAY, Feb. Pop. NJ.
2 The Custom House returns of the foreign move
ments of merchandise at New York last week make
comparisons with the movements the weeksof 1857
and 1881, which are remarkably favorable to the
port. The amount of difference IN favor OF New
York Is 81, 800 802, compared withl 1883 and $Z-
17s,737 as compared with 1881. The change how
ever Is almost entirely due to the large decline In
the amount of imports. The amount of imports for
the week of last year was unusually large
because of the arrival of delayed steam
ersj the amount for the week of this year is un-
usually small because of the non-arrival of over
duo steamers. The imports for the week were
valued at $6,927, 115, which is $4,249, 1877 less
than tho imports for the week OF 1852 and
81, 9SO,231 less than for the week Of 1881
tho exports last week were valued at $685.
600, and that sum is 1851 665 more than the
exports for the week of 1882 and $234,991
more than for tho week of 1851. Hence. the mer-
cbandlse movements Of last week show a balance
in favor of the port Of $36,4S5, against debit
balance OF 81, 5G3 317 for the week of 1882 and o
debit balance of So 49, 737 for the week Of 1851.
From January TO date the imports OF this year
have amounted to Sc 1873 4s1 less than for the same
period Of 1882, but to $9.534,797 more than Tor
tho period of 1881. The exports this year nave
amounted TO s3. $50. SGT more than for the same
time or 1851, ana 10 % 'o'f-% iO0' 'ii'''i "
So that the balance against the port on the elghC
weeks movement Of merchandise this year Is
$40 1901 0IS less thanor the same time OF 1852, but
Is $l1. S1O,221 greater than for the same time oil
1881. Deducting.the specie movements, tho balance
against the port for tho eight weeks this year IS
only So 500 SOL less than in 1882 aud is 7146 l72
greater than in 1881.

and exports. other than OF securities at NeW-IOrk'

MONTANA RASPBERRY.

The writer has often heard farmers ex.
press the belief that the native raspberry,
which grows spontaneously upon the moun.
tain sides in our Territory, could be cultiva-
ted and made to grow and bear more luxur-
iantly, but nor until the past season has lie
had the opportunity of witnessing the re-
suit OF an experimental trial The experl-
ment was commenced tour or five years ago
and was not fully completed until the past
season. The beginning WAS made by select
ing from patch of thrifty wild vines a few
OF the largest aud most thoroughly ripe ber-
ries. From these berries the largest and
bes formed seeds were selected and planted
ia rich. mellow soil. The stalks from these
seeds were cultivated and produced berries,
from which a similar selection Of the best
Iruit and the best seed was made The vines
from which they were grown were dug up
and the choice seeds sown, which grew as
before, producing nice crop of berries.
Again the same process of selecting berries
and seeds was made, destroying the bushes
rom which they had grown and planting
ana cutlvating the seeds. This operation
WAS repeated the fourth time, care being
taken each year 10 select the finest fruit.
An Improvement was noticeable in each
crap, the berries b ing more uniform in size.
The vines grown last year were tail and
bore very proliticaly. The fruit was most
delicious, and was larger and equal, if not
superior, in flavor Lo the tame rapberry. An

without interfering with his neighhors, or
with ether crops that require less moisture,
but the irrigating system is the only Que
that has yet beeu introduced to do this, and
the only question is, is it better to take
chances on the elements or incur the ex-
penSe Of having it as you wish TO any
uaprejudiccd mind the matter is very plain
The superiority of the quality and yield in
all countries where irrigation is sufficient
proof. The grain and vegetables OF Mon
tana are unsurpassed even in the valley OF
the Nile. When our oats only weigh 373
pounds to the bushel consumers grumble
and say that it is light and chatfy, yet in the
States % pounds is often regarded as a good
weight, and 80 pounds is the standard. 1t
is all mistaken idea about farming i'll Mon
lana being too expensive TO compete %ith
the States. Labor is higher, TO be sure, but
the amount OF labor required is not greater
here than there. We will venture that fewer
days labor are expended in tilling l60 acres
in Montana than any other country in Amer
lea. 1t may be that it will not do to hire
help at the going wages to produce crops
at present prices, but this does not argue
anything against Montana agriculture.

The most palatahIe Montana apples we
have eaten were grown upon Il tree called
the Harris Seeding, upon the splendid farm
OF Thomas Harris, in Nissuula county.
The tree grew from seeds taken from an ap-
pie hroughJ in Mr. Harris saddle pockets
from Walla Wajla several years before the
discovery of gold in Montana, and has
grown to a considerable size without winter
killing. Other trees from the same seeds
bear truit OF different kinds.

cause poultry and eggs are luxury in
Montana. and because il would cost no
more to produce them than 1t would pork
or beef. But grain has always found such
ready sale that farmers have preferred to
haul it to market rather than take chances
on feeding it to birds Of any description.
Now, since there is no market for grain we
may expect to see about the barnyard, in
addition to fat horses, well kept flock of
poultry, for there is nc disposition that can
be made of grain that is only worth one
cent per pound that will pay better than TO
feed it to hens that will lay eggs that are
worth 30 cents per dozen, and there is no
stock that can be produced that will pay
larger profit than cockerels at 80 cents
piece. Yet in all Montana there is scarcely
a viliager to-day who has netpaid more than
80 cents per dozen for the eggs to make his
egg-nog and cake for his Christmas dinner.
or more than 90 cents apiece for the chick
ems that constituted his Christmas roasts.
These commodities can be produced at
profit at half this figure, but there Is show
for those engaging in the business to make
handsome start before the markets are so
over-stocked that they will be sold SO low.
Let every farmer, stoekgrower and subur-
ban resident give extra attention to his birds
until eggs and chickens become plenty and
cheap. This can never be brought abeut by
shipments from the East, as is demonstrated
this season, and. until Montana produces
more than is3Gonsumed at home the business
will be good, and d-this will be many years

Iris very easy explained why eggs are
always worthtrom so TO rs cents per dozen
in our markets in winter. 1t is all owing to
the inferioa qualte of our poultry houses.
Ii you would go to two-thirds OF the farm
homes now you would find their birds shiy-
ering about on first one foot and then the
otler, with frosted combs and other unmfs-
taxable signs of exposure. Poultry ha,,5es
should be warm. The temperature OF 90 is
is not too warm ii the house is well yentI-
lated. Houses kept at that temperature are
comfortable, and birds with such a home
can with proper feeding be persuaded to for
get the winters blast without, and yield to
ther natural inclination to produce eggs.
But the bird that is half fed or half frozen
will not lay. In fact, they must be made SO
comfortable that they will be cheerful the
