INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. Ia.
Locally there is little new to note. Fluctua-
tions in values to-day were few and unimportant.
A confident feeling prevails, and the outlook
generally continues encouraging Reports from
all important points of distribution, both from
West and South, speak of satisfactory de-
mand. and the indications are that supplies
are being steadily absorbed by consump.
tion The only expressions of disappoint-
ment appear to come from those who are too i'm
patient to await the gradual development of con-
sentative Improvement. and are uneasy unless
the commercial pulse can be pushed up to
fever heat The volume of trade
Throughout the country has widened. and
while fresh buying is not as active as
1t was, the deliveries that are being made on
transactions already closed. still represent
large distribution of merchandise The sharp
ened appetite of trade recently developed is
naturally followed by a process of healthy di-
gestlon, but the improvement established is none
the less substantial, and the future outlook no
less encouraging The New York Shipping List

into better shape, and money finding more

export demand for produce. and with the exeep

try are not only decreasing in number, but the
liabilities involved are very much less, and inii-

couraging evidence of improvement in CONNER

Since the first of last August the surplus reserve
of the banks has been reduced $23 225 000 and
their loan accounts expanded $24 500 000 and

STABLE MANURE
A Fertilizer That Contains All the Eie
ments of Plant Nutriment.

A Fertilizer That Contains All the Ele-
ments of Plant Nutriment.
1t is important that the farmer should
understand thoroughly the effect that
fertilizers have upon the soil. and the
advantages (if any that one kind pos
sesses over another. First, it must be
understood that plants must contain
phosphoric acid, nitrogen. potash, lime.
magnesia, sesquioxide of iron. and sui
phuric acid, and therefore these must
be present in order to secure the healthy
nutrition of the plant. It is rather rare
that soil is found that is deficient in
lime, magnesia, sulphuric acid or iron.
but as stable manure is formed from the
growth of plants upon the farm, and
contains all the substances mentioned,
it appears that stable manure contains
all he nutriments for plants by which
they are nourished. and hence is
perfect fertilizer of itself.
Further than that, stable manure con-
tains that organic substance which, by
its decomposition, creates in the soil
what is known as humus, which assists
largely in loosening the same, keeping
it moist and warm; stable manure is
also chemically active, and tends to
produce favorable outward conditions
BY the use of coarse, strawy manure
upon compact clayey soil, or compact
loan, if well ploughed in and mixed
with the soil, the result, in breaking up
and loosening the soil, will be very
marked. This formation of humus and
change of texture of soils by the use Of
stable manure is of the greatest inn
portance. Now the question arises,
How is it with artificial manures? What
is their effect? Or have they any two
fold effect? Do they furnish a supply
of plant food on the one hand. and on
the other do they exert favorable in.
fiuence upon the soil as regards its con
| dition?
| To these questions the answer may
be given that, inasmuch as they conta
a formulated quantity Of phosphorit
acid. nitrogen and potash. they furn 81
abundant nutriment if applied in suIii
Gent quantity. But they do not excr
any direct influence upon the nature 0
the soil, as they can not add any to tn
humus of the soil; nor can they chang
of themselves the mechanical texture o
the same. By all experiments tina
have been made, it is pretty well de
termined that the greater the supply o
humus in the soil, and the more favor
able its external condition, the create
the effect produced by the application
of special fertilizers; therefore, even b

with thorough working Of the soil
rendering the external conditions 9
favorable as possible. artificial manure
will prove efficient. Although it
possible to produce crops upon q poo
soil by the use Of special manures, th
results bear no comparison with thos
where there is liberal use of stab
manure used in connection with tn
