BRoADcAsTINe AND DRILLING SEED.

-BHoADCAsTINd AND DRILLING bEED.
A year ago an experiment was tried at
the Rhode Island Agricultural Station
comparing broadcast and drill seeding.
The same was repeated this year, divid-
ing every plot, sowing the north half
broadcast and the south half with an
Empire grain drill, using the same
amount of seed in each case. The
broadcast oats came up first and gave q
little better appearance all through the
growing season, but the harvest showed
an increase over the drilled oats of thirty
seven pounds per acre.-New York

The Anomalous Condition of
the Silver Market.
Prices GO Down as the Visible Sup
ply of Bullion Decreases.
The Brainiest Men in Wall Street Un'
able to Account for This Unprece-
dented Condition-Henry
Clews' Theory.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
New York, Oct. 5.-The bankers and
financiers OF this city are in the rather
peculiar position OF being unable to offer
a theory which will account for the con-
dition OF one of the great markets OF the
financial world. They declare it an
enigma that while the offering OF silver
bullion has decreased, prices have de-
clined. The offerings to the United
States treasury have steadily grown less,
and the price has gone down to $,s345
Der ounce, instead of increasing, accord
ing to the old law of economics that the
less the supply the greater the price.
Sub-Treasurer Roberts said today ::
sThe course of the bullion market is a
mystery to everybody. Nobody have
talked with has theory, satisfactory to
himself, accounting for it. It becomes
a greater mystery from the fact that re-
ports from the west are that some OF the
mines are stopping work."
A prominent bank official said: "The
reason for this state OF things may be
the large influx of silver from Mexico.
Two concerns in New York lately built
large smelters which can produce 5,O0O,-
600 ounces of silver year. do not
believe there is any holding of silver for
any purpose. The amount coming into
the country is, however, enormous"
Henry Clews said: II suppose the
reason is that since the exports OF silver
for long time past have aggregated a
small amount, the only customer for 1t
is the United States treasury, and its
purchases, together with what is needed
in the arts, absorb the American pro-
duct. The price on the stock exchange
should have advanced as the visible
supply decreased, as indicated by the
quantity registered but as it has not,
it is evident that the visible supply is
not all the silver in the market. There
fore, while the visible supply has de-
creased, the invisible supply has in
creased, and it is from this invisible
stock that the government is enabled to
supply its needs"
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Silver aggregat-
ing 724 900 ounces was offered at the
treasury today, and 374, 900 ounces were
purchased at $0.S390@0 S400.
New York, Oct. 5.-Bar silver was
stronger today, with certificates at
841ac. The rise was due to reduction
in the amount held by the Mercantile
Safe Deposit company, and the revivals
of exports, shipments to Europe to-
day, footing up 215, 900 ounces, and the
fixing of the time and placd for the in
ternational monetary conference.

They Are Fatal to the Welfare of the

BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 5.-The dele
gates to the National Real Estate con-
gress came in rapidly last night. and
there are now about 1000 delegates
present. Western men are present in
large numbers. A number of papers
were read at today's session. dealing
with affairs interesting the delegates.
Benjamin Hardwick, manager of the
real estate exchange OF New York,
in the course of an address spoke
of "booms." He said there is no
policy 30 fatal to the general welfare of
the real estate business, and which in
variably rests upon any locality in
which it is put in force, as the boom
movement. A boom draws to any par

buy simply to hold in the hope of being
able to unload on somebody else. This
class of business is not good for any

WASHINGTON, Oct. ga letter to the

tember oath, from Commander Evans,
of the United States steamer Yorktown,
states that there is now very violent
volcanic eruption on the Alaskan penin-
sula, about latitude Sc north, longitude
159 degrees 20 minutes west. The noise
of the eruption, which took place during
the last week of August, was heard
80 miles. The clouds OF ashes and Gin
ders were so dense a distance of 150
miles at sea that the steamer st. Paul
was compelled to have lights at 10
O'Clock in the morning. The decks were
covered with ashes to such an extent
that many bucketfuls were swept up
and thrown overheard. No loss of life
or property from the explosion had
been heard of at the date of Evans's

FOREIGN MISSIONS.
A Lively Session OF the American Board
in Chicago.

A Lively Session OF the American Board
in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-The American board
of commissioners for foreign missions,
the general congregational missionary
body, re-assembled this morning. This
board is self-constituted, self-perpetuat-
ing. At present it is composed OF two
elements, the liberal and the
conservative. These have many
points of difference, One of these
differences having to do with
the body itself, came up this morning.
The liberals believe that the churches
which furnish all the funds should have
representation. This matter came up
in paper by DR.. E.. X. Allen, defend
ing the conservative policy. 1t was
moved that the paper be referred to a
special committee to report next year.
On behalf of the liberals substitute
was proposed to refer it to the business
committee, with instructions to report at
this session. The Conservatives carried
the day, defeating the substitute by a
vote of 80 to AZ. The Conservatives
finally consented to reference to COM
mittee to report as soon as possible.
The Conservatives have the appoint
ment of the committee.
