Wool in st. Louis.

Says the St. Louis Republic: "The wool
market, during the week, was somewhat
unsettled. 1t opened with rather weak
and Indifferent feeling, but strengthened
up later on. especially on Missouri bright
woods of the higher grades and similar
stock in other state and territorial growth.
The receipts of the latter class of stock
showed decided falling off, due to a dis
position to hold on the part of interior
dealers, who were caught on the recent de
cline, especially on the coarser grades of
wool The receipts of Texas and territory
stock We're very large, which did not i'm
prove the hitherto weak feeling. This
class of stock has thus far been bought
with but little regard to the shrinkage and
secured basis, but as manufacturers are
buying strictly on this basis, decided de
cline has taken place, especially on the
heavy, greasy and sandy clips.

Such steady, even growth now being
enjoyed by Salt Lake was never witnessed
in other western towns, where the boomer
and the skyscraper is ever alert.
Each day sees old rookeries RACED to
make room for palatiaI structures; old
ruins of one story being replaced with
business blocks of five or six stories.
This, in the business portion of the city, to
say nothing of the scores OF residences in
course of erection and additions or altera
tions being made. Yet with all this, there
is no hurrah or roar, no brass band furry.
The real estate transactions show a graf
flying increase each month, and are away
in advance of the same periods Of a year
ago.
Business during the week past has been
of most satisfactory nature. Collections
are reported as fair, and remittances from
the country come in with greater prompt
ness than has been manifested for some
time.
1t is like reading ancient history to
glance over an invoice lately uuearthed by
Henry Tribe, bearing date of August IA,
1865. It was of a bill of goods purchased
in this city of n. S. Ransohoff & Co, and
shipped to the Ogden store, at that time
managed by Mr. Tribe. The difference III
prices then and now is startling, and a few
figures are quoted below. They represent
the actual cost of the articles laid down in
this city on the date in question: Coffee,
75c. per pound; white sugar, 60c. brown
sugar, 55c.; gunpowder tea, g. %; indigo,
81 per pound; cloves, 81; ginger, 81; pep
per, roc; horseshoe nails, roc; smoking
tobacco, 1925; matches, g per dozen;
bleached linen, 62J9c. per yard; swiss
lawn, 5515c.; bishops lawn, Sac; victoria
lawn, 78c: iaconet. Soc; delaine, Coo
calico, 3Oc.; linen handkerchiefs, 95c.
each. The prices of all other articles were,
of course, in proportion. To all these
prices were added 10 per cent. profit in
this city, and by the time they were re
tailed in Ogden one can imagine the
figures paid for Injuries and necessities in
those days

The Union concentration up Empire
canon is rapidly nearing completion, and
it is confidently expected that it will be
started up on the Goth inst. 1t will do Gus
tom work, commencing on the Woodside
leasers' second class ore, of which there is
on the dump and otherwise available about
ten thousand tons, worth all of SIS ton.
The capacity of the concentration is 100
tons daily, and it will not be surprising if
it has to be increased to double the capac-
ity before winter approaches. There can
be no doubt that the concentration will be a
success and have all it can do cOncentrat-
ing the thousands of tons of available low
grade ores on the many mine dumps into a
commodity that will pay to ship to the
smelters.-RecOrd.

The calamity at JohnstOwn has touched
all hearts, and seriously interrupted bust
ness at many points. Other disasters by
foods in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New
York and the Virginias have involved
enormous loss Of property, interrupted
traffic even more than the blizzard of last
year, and entirely changed the situation in
the eas IN lumber trade, the coal, iron and
steel trades. Producing companies of the
first importance have suddenly ceased
operations, and their orders must be filled
by others or delayed. The flooding of
many coal mines cuts off supplies
of fuel for many manufacturing
works, and the stOppage of the Cambria
mills and furnaces, which produced yearly
over three hundred thousand tons of iron
in various forms, will affect the trade for
some time. The destruction of more than
forty bridges, about half of them on the
Pennsylvania railroad, besides many loco
motives, cars, and miles of track, creates
a sudden demand which is felt in all the
iron and steel markets. Vast quantities of
lumber have been swept away, and thou
sands of houses and other buildings must
be quickly replaced, with a vast quantity
of supplies and stores.
Coffee is quarter stronger, but the mar
ket is dull, because consumers prefer to
wait Sugar has been advanced a quarter
and the statistical position is considered
strong, but the growth of demand for con-
sumption is as yet only anticipated Some
grades of leather are little stronger, and
confidence in the boot and shoe outlook is
unabated. In dry goods, trade is fair for
the time of year, though prints hardly
equal expectations as to volume of bust
ness The new demand for woolens is
light, but there is a tirmer feeling, and an
advance in price is expected.
The reports from the interior show a
fair volume of trade IN progress, except
where disasters have interrupted. In those
localities business is Frustrated, and many
individual losses viii call for the indulg-
ence of creditors. Elsewhere, collections
are on the whole rather dull. The money
markets are all well supplied and easy,
with active demand at Cleveland and De
troit, and an improvement at Boston, but
in general the demand is but moderate.
At Philadelphia receipts of wool are cut
off, but it is felt that growers are asking
more than manufacturers can pay, and
signs of reaction in their demand are OBJ
served in some quarters The white lead
trust appears to have been completed by
the purchase of two St. Louis concerns.

to start up the smelter at once, and com

was reported as fairly good one. Park
city, Bingham, Frisco, Alta, Stockton and

these there were several shipments of
good ore from Nevada, the residents of
which state are gradually coming to look
upon this city as headquarters, and the
best place on the coast to dispose of their
ores

line has been located, take good heavy
plow and team and plow furrow the
entire length of the line, and then turn
around and throw q furrow from the
bottom of the first one. This will give
you depth enough, with little cleaning
out occasionally. Get enough sticks or
boards to answer and lay across the
ditch, and on these lay your pipe and
screw together. After considerable
length is put together, it can be let down
into the ditch with very little trouble. Do
not cover any of the pipe till it is all put
together and pressure of water turned
on then it should be examined, and if
any leaks are discovered they should be
attended to, and when all is "solid" the
pipes can be covered.
From what experience we have had, we
would not put in a foot of pire that was
not galvanized, inside and out. Wehave
experienced Agood deal of trouble on
account of rust. After short time the
pipes will ''fake, and it will be necessary
to wash them out before you can use q
sprinkler or small nozzle. About the
house or stable galvanized piping is also
very desirable, for should the water stand
little while in an iron pile it would
taste of rust when drawn. AS soon as
we are able we will take up our plain pipe
and substitute galvanized. Do not make
mistake and put in too small a pipe be-
cause it is chearer for you will soon Ray
for it in the length of time it takes to IT,
rigate given space. We would not ad-
wise any pipe smaller than two inches
where as large an area as five acres are to
be irrigated, and nothing less than one
and one-half inches however small the
area. The cost of pipe at present is about
as follows, in quaint les of 500 to 1000
feet, delivered at the DEPOT or landing:
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-08-28
SIZE.

The quantity of pipe required for a five
acre grove in which a hose 100 feet long
is used, would be 325 feet of three-inch
main and 600 feet of two-inch for
b1 anches. This samountwouldg giveenOugh
pil e, also, if the water supply was not
too far from the tank, to make all con-
nections with tank, mains and pump. The
calculations are made with the suppose
tion that the tank and pump are located
in the centre OF the grove. For a ten
acre grove the amount of pipe required
would be about double.
APPLICATION OF WATER TO THE SOIL.
After the land is piped, tanks built and
good supply of water on hand, the
question of the best method of applying
it to the land comes up. During our
three years experience in the garden
we have found that the nearer approach
to rain you can get the better, and to
accomplish this we used the revolving
sprinkler or hose with a rose nozzle.
This delivered the water to the ground
| III HllG OIOFO, CbLO OlQ nOu WCbOH CI1O OOI
| from around the plants. In the grove it
| is different, as there is no danger from
washing. A good stream can be thrown
into tree, and if directed against the
trunk or large limbs will wash off loose
scale, moss, ETC., and make the tree look
bright, or the nozzle can be held almost
perpendicular, SO that the stream will
| fall considerably broken.
| In exl eriments made this past spring
during the dry ell, it was proven that
three barrels of water applied to tree
at one time, and inside a ring that did
not extend beyond the branches, did
vastly more good than double that
amount applied through a small hose at
or near the trunk of the tree.
The trench and flooding systems in
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-08-28

Florida are impracticable on account OF
the nature of our soil and the lay OF the
land There may be cases where this
method can be used, but they are rare.
BENEFIT.
There is little use for us to mention
here the benefits to be derived from lrrl-
cation, as others have already done that,
but we wish those who are in the least
skep tical to note the vast difference in
all vegetable growth during the rainy
season and the time previous, or during
a drouth of six or eight weeks.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-08-28

horse powers TO be put at greater dlS-
tance and any angle from the WE'LL This
does not affect the cost of the pumping
outfit, except where more tumbling rods
have to be used. There are other kinds
of horse powers, but after examining into
the merits of all, and having seen differ
ent kinds at work, we believe the above
mentioned kinds for the price will give
the best satisfaction.
For a family garden, house and stable
purposes, there can be no cheaper ar
rangement put up than good windmill
and tank, for when the mill is once up.
the cost of elevating the water is scarcely
anything, and with a tank of large ca
pacity a wheel will elevate enough water
to irrigate good sized garden Wehave
on our place a ten-foot Leftle Iron Wheel
which has been running for three years,
and has not cost us cent except for oil.
We believe it che best make of wheel for
this country, as there are no Stats to rot
and blow out, the only wood about it
being the fan. The cost of putting up a
ten-foot wheel on a forty-foot derrick,
with good foundation, is $1O0; tank
Of $50 barrels, put up twenty-four feet
from the ground, 500 more, and the
pump and fixtures $25. Total, 1926.
In giving the figures of above pump
ing apparatus, we have notincluded pipe,
for it is impossible to form any idea of
the cos of that until the location of the
pump, tank and the amount OF work it is
expected to do is ascertained.
Where one is so fortunate as to be To-
Gated where they can u ilize a stream
for elevating water by means of a hy-
draulic ram or water wheel, they can get
the benefit of an irrigating plant at a
a comparatively small sum, and when
once in order the expense of running is
nominal. Such places are SO few that We
deem il unnecessary to go into details on
these POINTS.
PIPING THE GROUND.
The cost of piping given amount of
land depends to what use it is put. If in
an orange grove the main should go as
near the centre as possible, and the
branches from 100 to 400 feet apart. If
tie ranches are put down 1OOfectapart
an tise hvdrants 100 feet from each
ot4er q piece Of lose thirty feet long will
De all that is required to thoroughly wet
the snrface The force of the water
should be sufficient to carry the water
twenty leet from tbenozzle This omount
of hose can be handled readily Dy one
man, and he will be able TO irrigate a
larger surface than when The hose is
longer. If the branches and hydrants
are 200 feet apart, the length OF the hose
will have to be eighty feet. Ii the size O1
hose is one and one-half or two inches il
will be all that one man can do to han
die it, as it will have to be dragged over
considable ground. For garden purposes
it would not be advisable to have the
branches and hydran s further than one
hundred feet apart, as vegetables are
easily damaged by the dragging of hose
over them.
Ii any one is piping his grove, and il
not able to put the branches in 100 fee
apart, our advice would be to put then
400 feet apart, and while laying the pip'
put in the necessary T's and crosses a.
