In setting fruits there is much in
knowing what soil and situation to
choose. Apples grow best and yield the
finest colored, highest favored fruit on
high, dry, clay and limestone ridges.
They do well on north slopes also.
Southern side hills of sandy clay or
loan produce fine grapes. South
slopes and exposures will yield small
fruits a week earlier than north slopes,
especially if the soil is sandy BY TAX
ing advantage of attitudes, soil, slope
and varietis the strawberry season may
be prolonged two and sometimes nearly
three weeks.

Union Pacific Litigation.

Attorneys for Ex-Governor Evans-are
preparing papers In a suit which is in
tended to head off the alleged attempt
of the Union Pacific railroad to retain
control of the Gulf road by foreclosure
of the mortgage bonds, interest on
which has been defaulted. The United
States court some time ago decided
that the Union Pacific was not required
to pay this interest, and as the receiver
of the Gulf was not ordered to pay 1T,
it has remained unpaid. Governor Ev-
ans takes the ground that the bonds
were fraudulently transferred, and that
no consideration was given for them.

Vincent. in charge of the irrigation
work on the Navajoe reservation, New
Mexico, refuting the statement of
Lieutenant Plummer, acting Indian
agent, that money has been squander-
ed on irrigation works. Vincent's de-

weekly review Of trade tomorrow will
say:
Engrossed political excitement in many
of the states cause a natural Stacking in
some kinds of business, but on the whole
business indications are rather more fav-
orable than they were a week ago.
Gold exports have ceased, quite a num-
Der of mills have gone into operation and
the demand for products, e not equal
MO that Of prosperous years, is better than
it has been most Of the time this year.
The prices Of farm products do not
Improve much and there are still some
strikes to resist, reduction of wages, etc.
so that purchasing power of tn money
cannot have materially increased, but
there is more hopeful spirit which
prompts greater activity. On the other
hand, The record of past transactions is
somewhat less favorable than of late.
Payments through the PRINCIPAL clearing
houses throughout the country show a
decrease of y per cent, compared with
last year and a decrease OF 21.9 per cent.
compared with the same week in 1892.
the decrease for four weeks being 29.S
per cent.
The wheat market is lower, and nothing
appears to justify any important change.
Western receipts nave been 4,Sl6.57l
bushels against 6,276,425 last year and
Atlantic exports only 544,G2S bushels,
against l066, 665 last year.
Corn is higher without any clear reason,
and 1t is noteworthy that at the same time
pork is 70 cents lower; lard 80 cents per
100 pounds and hogs 40 cents lower. The
contrast indicates how little the provis-
Ion market depends at present on nat
NIal relations of supply and demand.
Inc demand for wool is not as large
as it has been and while prices have
scarcely changed for two weeks sales
are but 4,SO4250 pounds against 5,77S, $50
On 1892 and for four weeks IS 451 749
pounds against 25,744, $50 in 1892 Prices
were put down before the new tariff
took effect, so that results of foreign
competition are felt mainly in reduced
sales of some domestic woods.
The failures for the week were 231 in
The United States against 352 last year
, and 80 in Canada against a last year.
