NEW YORK Nov. i9.
The market has been irregular and purely
professional, but the bears after early
covering were induced to renew aggression
because of the delay in the meeting to con-
slider Burlington dividends. An impression
that the regular rate of dividend on North
western common was uncertain, was also
used with effect against values. 1t was
some what significant, however, that the
most active period of the days market, was
while covering WAS going on. While the de-
clines generally brought about dullness and
there was no pressure of long stock, the
situation a Whole presents no new
feature of interest. A meeting of the bank
presidents will be held tomorrow to discuss
the question of subscriptions to the govern
ment bonds, but there is no moral doubt
that the issue will be largely over sub
scribed. General business improves
gradually according to all reports, and the
success of the government loan may add to
the stronger tone of confidence felt since
the elections. There is better outlook for
the country's commodities than in some
time, and with the tariff question beyond
the reach of disturbance and the position
of the treasury about 10 be materially
str eng thened there is reason to believe
that the present unsatisfactory conditions
of railway earnings will in time pass away.
Speculation, however, is not likely 10
broaden out until improvement is more
obvious. The action of the Burlington
directors is watched with great interest for
their policy may have an impo1 tant inhu-
ence upon the decision of the roads similar
ly situated. A reduction in the payment
would encourage the bear faction to renew
attempts at depression but if the regular
trade is maintained the market seems to US
ripe for sharp rally on the short interest.

AGRICULTURAL POSSIBILITIES.

The Vicinity of Great Falls Can Grow
Fine Vegetables and Large Yield of
Grain with or without Irrigation.
The requirements Of an agricultural
section comprise favorable climate, suit.
able soil, markets and practical farmers
to utilize these conditions.
Has this vicinity these requirements?
AS for climate it is unsurpassed, but a
person must understand the conditions.
The grain crops must be got in as early
as possible, to gain root and sprout
while the soil is damp, the June rains
will take care of the rest
The soil is all that can bs required
after the original prairie land is plowed
and shaken up. Strangers unacquainted
with the facts come across a prairie eat
en off by cattle, "Oh," they say, moth
ing will grow here" Take the same soil,
pillow and seed down to wheat as early as
possible, the smallest crops raised in the
dryest year seeded under those condi-
tious have been 20 bushels to the acre
without irrigation. Think of that, ye
Red River farmers with II bushels to
The acre.
Irrigation is very good when practica-
BILE, it will increase the hay crop and
vegetables but for wheat it is not actu-
ally essential. II conditions are com
piled with a crop is certain.
The markets are here, in fact impor-
tations have to be made to supply the
demand.
Practical farmers we'll know that ro-
tation Of crops is essential, some men
the same thing year by year and the
land becomes impoverished. The limits
Of this paper will not allow further dis
of the matter but there is seri-

HOPE
It Is Believed the Wilson and Bar
row Detachments Have Been
Massacred by Matabeles.
Agents Of the Bechaunaland Company
Telegraph There Is Little Hope
For Their Safety.
Their Condition Was Critical When
Major Forbes Left the Shau-
gani District.

LONDON, Dec. 30.-There seems to be
little hope of the safety of the two Brit
ish detachments, commanded respec-
lively by Lieutenants Wilson and Bar
row, who are reported to have been
massacred by the Matabeles.
Captain Wilson is the officer of the
Bechuanaland company, and the agents
at Cape Town have telegraphed that
little hope rem aims Of the safety of the
party.
The absence of news from the Wilson
and Barrow columns, and the fact that
when Major Forbes left the Shangani
district the Wilson detachment was, be-
yond any doubt, in a critical position
causes the general belief that one or
more of the detachments have met with
disaster.
