LOOK out for your seed-corn, If you
have not already done so. Don't fool
with variety too late for your locality.
A lot of half-ripe corn at harvest is a
troublesome nuisance, and can not be
utilized generally without much waste.
If you have not saved good and reli-
able seed of your own, send North
rather than South for it.

A BEAR MARKET.
Italian Complications Influence
Wall Street,

New YORK, April 1.-The only new infu-
ence i'll affairs likely to affect the stock mar
ket to-day was the Italian complication but
the effect which this had upon prices of
stocks reached no farther than the opening
The bears endeavored to make some capital
out of the affair. and sold and offered stocks
down at the beginning of business They
were encouraged in this course by the un-
easy advices from London, and that center
was apparently q seller of stocks at the OPEN
ing as well; but the subsequent course of the
market gives rise to the SUSPICION that the
foreign selling had its inception on this side
of the ocean. The domestic situation re-
mains the same, and the day was almost en-
tirey barren of news of q character 10 have
any influence upon the market. The attack
at the opening established n slightly lower
range of values and while the lack of offer
lngs outside OF the manipulaIors soon caused
a cessation of the pressure to sell, there was
no material demand for stocks; and after
slight rally the market subsidized into the
usual intense dizziness, from which it did not
recover during the entire session. Themorn-
ing hours saw a dropping tendency but
prices never reached those of the opening
again. and later in the day tirmcr
in Evansville & Terre Haute, which rose
TO l25 from 12l, and in Sugar, which adj
vanced on the general belief that an agree
meEt had been made by the trust with both
the independent rehners and with The
Spreckels. On the other hand, the only weak
point was Manhattan, which sold down from
last nights figure over per cent. Louisville
was sold apparently by the foreigners and
with the CHANGERS, and Sugar maintained all
the animation there was i'll the days deal
lngs. The close was very dull but firm at in
significant changes from last nights prices,
and generally a small fraction better than
the opening. The advance in Sugar reached
ia per cent. and the loss in Manhattan "a,
the others being irregular but small. Rail
road bonds lost the comparative aciiv-
ity of the last few days, and the
sales of all issues for tine day

GOULD:S TACTICS.
They Are Liable to Cause Serious
Trouble.

They Are Liable to Cause Serious
Trouble.
CHICAGO, April 1.-The opinion seems
to be gaining ground that the independ-
eat attitude assumed by the Gould lines
with reference to competitive traffic
will result in either the disruption of
the Western Traffic association or a
very material Strengthening of the
presidents agreement. 1t is believed
that the latter result is the one aimed at
by Gould, and many people lean to the
theory that the recent tactics of the Mis-
souri, Pacific were adopted with that end
in view, the object being to expose the
weakness of the present agreement and
bring the other roads to look with more
favor on the famous clearing house
scheme So long advocated by the Wiz
ard" Far-sighted traffic officials are
beginning to predict that the
Western Traffic association, as
now organized, will not live six
months. They say it is even weaker
than its predecessor, the Interstate
Commerce Railway association, which
outived its usefulness in less than 4
year. Certainly the new agreement has
curtailed the authority of Chairman A.
f. Walker, who is now simply the
mouthpiece of the board of commission
erS, and has thrown away the service of
a valuable officer III making no provision
for the retention of Auditor S Y. Me
Nair, whose resignation took effect to-
day. Under the old agreement it was
part of Mr.. McNair's duty to investi-
gate charges of irregularities made
against roads in the territory of the as
ISOLATION. and it may be that he was too
successful i'll accommodating evidence
of wrong doing on the part
of members. At any rate the
new plan does not provide for
such investigations, and as it substitutes
a bureau of statistics for the office of
auditor Mr.. McNaIr is crowded out.
Much interest is now manifested in the
next meeting of the advisory board of
the Western Traffic association for the
reason that all complaints against the
Missouri Pacific. on account of the UNI
authorized sugar tariff and other sup
posed violations of lis agreements, have
been referred to that body. The tariff
as filed with the interstate commerce
commission was numbered siXty-siX.
and now some of the Western roads are
curious to find out something about the
preceding SiXty-live tariffs Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, suSpecting that they may
lie similar in character to the latest one,
and that they apply reduced rates on
other commodities.

THE FOREIGN PRESS.
Comment of Leading English and
Italian Papers.

LONDON, April 1.-The Evening
Standard, referring to the recall of Bar
on Fava. says:
The trouble will blow over shortly. and the
Americans will be little the worse for il. The
agitation viii vastly strengthen the hands of
those who are wanting to forbid the further
landing of emigrants. When they succeed
the export of rufiians and paupers from Eu-
rope generally will be diverted to our shores
The Echo-The recall of Baron Fava is a
nasty, inconsiderate step, which Italy is likely
TO repent taking. King HumberJ and his
cabinet ought to take into account the great
proyocation received by the people of New
Orleans, and which led to the lawless action
of the mob.
The Globe-It is necessary that the govern
ment at Washington should receive a sharp
lesson in the customs of International diplo-
macy The United States will have TO
founder ont of the trouble by some method
but not that of war.
ROME, April 1.-Tbe Tribuna says: I'VE
do not believe that any complications need
be feared. The demands of Italy are so mod
crate that a solution satisfactory to both
countries might be found before Baron
Favas departure from America. Italy only
asks an act OF justice and a free, civilized
country cannot refuse this long,
Popolo Romano-The entire country ap-
proves the recall of Baron FaYa. Baron
Fava note could not have been couched in
more digni6ed OF more temperate language
We still hope that the United States will af-
ford Italy satisfaction.
The Don Chisciotte Della Manceia-It will
be a matter for grief and shame if civ
ilized government should not realize duties
so elementary as those of prosecuting assas-
sins and indemnifying the families of vic
tins who have fallen through the impotence
of its own rule.
Eoce Della Verita-The step of Baron Fava
will lead TO no useful result, the recall being
purely a Platonic protest due to pressure
upon the Italian government from within
meaning the influence Of secret societies.
The ltalia-ltalians and citizens of the
United States have The greatest interest il

would compel Italy to stop war opera
tons twenty days after war had been
declared. In the event of war with
this country Italy would rely on her
naval forces. The Italian navy is sec
ond only to that of Great Britain. She
would send feet of big ironclads west
ward, ana then would probably anchor
at Sandy Hook. The Italian guns could
send tons of metal into this city, ten
miles away. We have no ships or guns
to cope with them. But | think that
before the Italian ironclads could reach
this country our harbor would be pro-
tected with torpedoes, while a fleet of
torpedo boats would prove destructive
to their ships. What would our citi-
ZenS do in case of war? The late
President Lincoln once told me how,
at the time in the civil war
that the Meerrimac was said to be OH its
way to New York TO destroy it, COM
mlttee of New York mllionaires waited
on him at the White house. What are
we going to do about it, was the sum
total of the committees questions.
"Well, said the president, there Is no
money in the United States treasury,
and nothing can prevent the Merrimac
from going into New York harbor. But
II were worth the 800, 0O0. 900 that you
say you are worth, and if | were as
frightened as you appear to be, think
L would find way of protecting my
property and | am certain if war
should be declared there would be
committee on safety appointed from
New York citizens, and some great big
ticks would be put in for this city and
country. l will stake my life that there
is not word of truth in the reported
action of the Italian minister. And as
to the probability of war, it is improba-
bic as the most impossible thing you
could imag.ne.''

EXPERT OPINION.
The Adjutant General OF the
United States Talks War.

Cnlted states Talks war.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-Gen. Kelton,
adJutant general of the United States
army, secuted the idea of war ensuing
from yesterdays events. 1t was hard
to imagine any reason for war, or any
substantial result to accrue to either
party from it. Certainly the United
States would not send over to attack
Italy, and Italy could not land an army
in the United States. The distance be-
tween the two countries presented an
almost lnsurmountable obstacle to land
operations. Even the Italian naval yes
sells could not etfectually operate so
far from base of supply of fuel and
stores. He did not hesitate to say that
New York city would be safe in any
event. Even though the projected
Notifications were not yet in existence,
and the modern guns were lacking he
had faith in the ability of our people to
offer an effective resistance to hostile
naval force. We were all inventive.
energetic race, and could be depended
on to meet any emergency. A hostile
fleet could not lie within twenty miles
of New York. There would be no lack
OF men forthcoming, who, like Cushing.
would be willing and ready to be blown
up with their own torpedOes if they
could have even small chance of de-
stroying the foe. AS for the land forces
of the United States, the general was
confident that they could be depended
on to prevent any hostile army or naval
force from setting foot Oh American soil

SPRING SUGGESTIONS.


Avoid draughts and sudden changes of
temperature.
Do not discard your warm winter clothing
too soon. 1t is better to suffer little incon-
venience than to take cold.
Remember that one is especially liable to
contract bad cold or chill at this season of
the year.
A cough or cold contracted between the
seasons is the most annoying kind, and may
lastthrough the summer
Ifyou feel cough or cold coming on,
take drink OF pure whiskey at once. 1t will
keep the blood in circulation and is the best
preventive against the diseases of the season.
Remember that only PURE whiskey should
be taken. Duify's Pure Malt Whiskey has the
strongest recommendations from the leading
scientists and medical men. 1t is the only
standard medicinal whiskey Take no other
from your druggist or grocer.

GREsHAM's GOOD SENSE.
The Eminent Jurist Fails TO Rec
OgniZe italy's Claim.

CHICAGO, April Judge Gresham,
in speaking last night about the Italian
minister's recall, said he was unwilling
to believe that the Italian government
had recalled Baron Fava. The state of
Louisiana is investigating the New Or
leans affair, and until the investigation
is finished no conclusion can be reached.
Il don't Think he said, "that any
question of international law is in
volved. An Italian in New Orleans has
a right to the same protection that is
extended to our own citizens, and if
some one laWlessly harms the Italian
his government has 10 more to do with
it than if an Italian citizen should be
assaulted here in Chicago. In the lat
ter instance it would be expected that
the city would take measures to punish
the offender. but the Italian government
would have no occasion TO Interfere"
