MARCH AS a PRECURSOR.
Prognostic Days Of the Windiest
Month of the Year.

month OF the ear.
To-day is the first day of March, and
March is month which by weather prog
nosticators is closely watched, for the
weather in March is supposed to shape the
seasons If March came in like lamb it
will go out like lion is an old proYerb
and another is that
If March comes in with adder's aead,
1t goes out with peacock tail.
The precursive DAYS are the LIST, 10th, 10Th
and 18th, and the prognostics are ''if it do
not freeze on the 10th, a fertile year may
be expected.
Is't on st. Joseph's day (l9th) clear,
So follows fertile year;
Is t on Mary's (25th) bright and CT ear,
Fertile is said to be the year.
There are many proverbs about the March
weather, and wet March appears to be
universally unpopular, as for instance: "a
damp, rotten March gives pain TO farmers"
"Rain in March, poor harvest" March
grass never did good" On the other hand:
March wet and windy
Makes the barn full and findy;
March damp and warm
viii do the farmer much harm.
"a bushel of March dust is worth kings
ransom" Gas it rains in March, 50 it rains
in June" Dust in March brings grass aud
foliage"
The French have a proverb that ga
dusty March, snowy February, moist
April and dry May, presage good year"
and the Scotch like to see a windy and
dusty March. 1t is also popularity believed
that for every frost in March there will be
one in May, and there will be as many fogs
in August as dews in March. "Snow in
March devours, and is bad for fruit and
grape vine, but snow in April is manure,
But there is very satisfying proverb that
Whatever March does not want April
brings along" So that the patient reader
can only watch and wait

SPIRITS ON A BOOM.
The Naval Stores Crop Outlook-The
Stock on Hand.

The Naval Stores Crop Outlook-The
Stock on Hand.
Spirits turpentine is on something of a
boom, and sales were made yesterday at
AZ cents for regulars" the highest int
touched in years In point of fact the sta
tistical position of the article is quite strong,
and the stock on hand at this
market is very small. The board
of trade yesterday reported the stock at
only 2, 500 casks all told. OF this over 100
casks will be cleared to-day, which will
leave the stock at about 800 casks, and it
is said that very small proportion is in
first hands. The receipts yesterday were
only 8 casks. 1t looks as If the stock
here would become exhausted before the
new crop begins to come in. Should this
prove to be the case there is no telling
where values will go to. and the outlook for
the manufactures is quite encouraging, pro-
viding he does not rush his production to
market all at once. Certainly the position
from the present indications has not been
so strong in many years, especially on the
verge OF a new crop.
