FINANCIAL REVIEW.



New York. April 2G-Bradstreet toinor-
row will soy regarding the stock market.
A considerable portion of the street has
been waiting for a reaction In the upward
course Of prices. There has been, however,
none OF any serious character and the mar
ket seems to be broadening under an ac-
ctsslon of public interest In speculation md
Of foreign purchasing orders, The latter
fact indeed, wa the important event Of
the week. The London public, 1t seems. Is
still occupied with the bull speculation In
Katiir mines the fortnightly account In
them just completed having been one Of
the largest since the movement began. Al
tho same time the settlement revealed a
rails, while the disposition Of the profess
slOnals there Is TO take up "fankees' us
the llkellest speculative thing for n big rise.
While the foreign buying Of our stocks
has not approached the character of a
large movement, II wgs still sufficient to
profoundly AFFECT the temper OF the markt I
here and to Offset several unfaYorable de-
yelopments. The principal OF these was the
failure OF the coal roads TO c1me 10 any
agreement while the uncertainty which
still exists about the crops at the West
supplements the unfayOraOle exhibits of
earnings which railroads in that section
are making, on the other hand, other roads
show marked improvement In their net earn
ings for the month Of March. At tile same
time the better feeling In trade circles
which has succeeded the rise ln price OF
commodities makes Itself felt II the con-
hdent tone of the market and the rcadi-
ness with which professional operators tako
to the bull side Of the market. not only
In the stock list, but in bonds as well,
The movement In bonds this week has,
in fact been remarkable In character the
totll transactions running up TO less than
$4,000, 900 In par value. 1t Is also noticeable
that the trade In stocks has been well dis
tributed, u number OF hitherto neglected Sc
curltes being among the active futures.
The complaint Is stlll heard that the mar
ket Is an artlhcial one and that outside
business Is scarce The government bond
syndicate is also credited with having
much to do with the rise. On. Friday the
tone was steady in the face Of decrease
IN the activity Of speculation.

Potatoes In MICHIGAN.

For southern Michigan either early
planting in April Or late planting in
June is recommended, since potatoes
planted in either of these months are
more apt to escape injury from drought
than when planting occurs at interme-
diate dates. For late planting the late
varieties are preferred at the Michigan
station, where ia SO called varieties
have been tested. Summit was the most
productive variety grown. The list OF
she we'll tried varieties known to be re-
liable is as follows: Very Early-Early
Six Weeks, Market Gardener Early and

COST OF POTASH FOR CORN.
The Most Profitable Form In Which to
Apply This Essential Fertilizer.

The Most Profitable Form In Which to
Apply This Essential Fertilizer.
The commercial value of any fertilizer
ingredient is not always the true stand
ard of its value on any particular crop.
1t is we'll known that the corn crop
needs liberal supplies Of nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash, but since corn
grows through the whole hot season,
when nitritication is most active in the
soil, particularly when, as should al
ways be. the case, sod is buried for the
corn, the artificial application Of nitro
gen is seldom profitable in this crop at
its commercial valuation, while potash
in some form is always profitable, par
ticularly on sandy soils near the sea-
coast, either north or south.
It is interesting then to consi or what
is the most profitable form in which to
apply this essential fertilizer to the corn
crop The profit of using potash on corn
has been well shown at various agri-
cultural experiment stations. In New
Jersey an application Of potash gave an
increase of 80 bushels per acre, or dou-
bled the crop, having an especially ex-
cellent effect, too, upon the increase Of
fodder or slower, much more, in fact, than
upon the grain. The Massachusetts, sta
tion found that potash fertilization gave
an average increase of lis bushels OF
corn and 1,3OS pounds Of fodder. The
Kentucky station found that potash not
only gave a profitable increase in the
corn crop, but benefited the crops in
years succeeding its application to the
corn.
The West Virginia station made an
interesting series of experiments to
show the value of the different forms of
potash ON corn, with the following re-
suits: They found that the averaged in
creased yield produced by pound of
potash in the form of kainit was 81. 33
pounds per acre, in the form Of sulphate
of potash 25.74 pounds and in the
The average cost of kainit to produce a
bushel of corn was 9.O6 cents, of sui
phate of potash 16. 80 cents and of mu-
riate of potash 1913 cents.
This result is of great Importance to
all who use potash Oh the corn crop. but
it will not DO to assume that the same
results will be obtained with other
crops, explains w. F. Massey in a let
ter to Country Gentleman. Potatoes,
says he, for instance, require large
quantities Of potash, and in getting it
in the form of kainit there would be
danger of getting too much chloride of
soda. With this crop the nHriate has
always given the largest yield, and the
snlnha:e us- ,. the best quality.
