NEW IOAlhs
The Interest in todas's market was
conferred in the afternoon dealings. A
heavy tone prevailed in the morning hours
but changes were seldom important. In
the afternoon the selling movement be-
came general and appearances indicate that
the pool liquidation was TO an extent le-
sEonsible for the declines, although the
bear faction also took more active part
in the speculation. The reassembiing Of
Congress was marked by revival OF rum
ors of legislation hostile to the sugar refin-
ing company and whilo he outlook in this
direction is uncertain the depression in
the refining industry and the pressure OF
an enormous surplus of the foreign sugar
crop do not afford ground Of encourage
nent respecting this property at the pres
emit time. The provoking cause of the weak
ness in today's market was the renewal of
gold exports on al extensive scale. 1t is
known that the demands of the Austrian
government in connection with its scheme
of currency reform are not yet entirely
satisfied and the strength of the foreign
exchanges warrants the expectation that
the outflow of gold will be sustained for
sumo time longer. The railway outlook is
unsatisfactory especially in these parts of
tine country where the corp shortages have
been pronounced and the ros DIS are reach
ing point where the expense account can
moi be kept down to recent figures. We do
not see any prospect Of general improve
ment while the currency problem remains
unsolved and the exports of gold continue
on large scale. Fortunately the liquida-
ton of the past year has been thorough
that there is no pressure of long holdings
and hence the accumulation of short in
terest presents opportunities for OCCASIONAL
rallies 1t is not evident that the market
has yet reached condition where the bear
party is unwieldy in size and we are in
clined to look for further recession in VAL

PORTLAND. Jan. 2. 1894
The past year will long be remembered as a
record breaker in commercial circles. While
there has not been as many failures as in some
former years. it has been offset by the unset
tied condition of values, which in many cases
have slumped to such an extent that jobbers lost
all confidence in the condition of things, and
heavy losses have been the result. There has
also been large decrease in the volume OF
business Among the lines that have suffered
considerably on this account are Flours, Pork.
Lard and Sugars, the latter article being the
most conspicuous, for no one anticipated that
such fow figures would be reached. There is
nothing particularly new to note for the past
week, except that it has been one of exceeding
dullness but it is rather too early as yet to ex-
pecr any Improvement, but the prevailing Opin-
fon seems to be mat as we draw away from the
disturbances incident to the opening of the new
year, trade will gian force. Prices have not
changed materially for some time past although
much stronger in some cases. Flour moves
slowly but quotations are about the same as
for the previous week. Coffees are doing trlfle
better, while Teas are featureless, with no in
dications of an early change in quotations. Dry
fish are quiet and more firmly held; we look
for higher prices soon on Shore Cod. Mackerel
are firmer; the stock on this market is now re-
duced to about 80 bbls. Apples dull Florida
Oranges are very scarce and higher, due to the
serious damage to the crop, caused by the re-
cent cold weather, and estimated at 2.OOO,O0U

ed. Bank and Lard Oil easier. Coffees in New

pecially the air is simply laden with the
perfume from these plants. The seed
may be sown at any time and the plants
transplanted into the open, when of sufi-
cient size. If it is fertilized and looked
after it will grow as high as two or three
feet. The leaves are not like those of the
common tobacco. They do not have that
satiny touch of the ordinary plant, but are
rather glazed in appearance, and the shape,
too, is different. It should be much
planted in Southern gardens.
The common and much-despised Sun

A Seed Prize Offer,

In his "Floral Notes." in this issue,
Carlos" gives some deserved praise to the
Nicotlana afinis, favorite annual at the
North, stating that it succeeds finely in
tnis state and that the seeds may be sown
at any time. This decides us to offer it as
prize, together with seeds of four other
plants which may be sown now for flower
ing this summer. To any one sending us
an article of two hundred words. or over
suitable for publication in this depa tment
or the AGRICULTURIsT, we will mail the fol-
loving collection Of seeds: one package of
N'cotlana afinis, see description in Flo
raj Notes, No. S" in this issue; one pack
age OF Crotalaria retusa, a West India
plant known in this State as West India
Rattle-box. and Florida Sweet Pea: it
thrives like weed and produces long ra-
GENES of yellow pea-like flowers, very
bright; one package of "World's Fair
Beauty" very beautiful herbaceous Hi
discus given us under the above senseless
name; it is perfectly adapted to the poor
soil and climate of Florida; one package of
Cleome pungens or Giant Spider Plant,
another West Indian plant of great beauty;
it attains height of five or six feet pro-
ducing great panicles of pink flowers as
large as Hydrangea, the stamens several
inches long, which gives it it's common
name; and one package of New Star
Ipomoea Il. gracilis). delicate vine bear
ing myriads of flowers nearly an inch across,
of bright crimson scarlet color with a
large orange-colored star in the center, and
remaining open all day.
The effects of the freezes will furnish
material from which large number of our
readers can write out interesting and help
full observations of two hundred, or more,
words in length. We are now prepared to
send the seeds to as many as may respond.

rose grated on Cherokee stock, at the east
end of a long piazza. A hole large enough
to hold wagon load of soil was dug and
filled with mixture of muck, sand and
COW manure But the following August
the rose had made stout canes several feet
in length. and was blooming. The freezes
cut it to the grounds well as three other
specimens of the same variety-but all
have sprouted and are growing vigorously.
We advise our correspondent to procure
another plant assuring herself that it is
worked on Cherokee stock, and see if it will
not succeed better than the doubtful
specimen she now has. There is no danger
of being too good to It'd. Floral Dept.l

How many of our readers have tried
Dahlias. here in Florida? How many,
like myself, have tried them and in the end
given them up totally discouraged with the
result?
My experience with them was this. NY
seed was sent out from England and was
sown in we'll PREPARED seed bed. They
came up we'll and got a remarkably good
stand of plants. They grew very rapidly
and l was soon obliged to transplant them
out into the open. which did without los
ing single plant. Before putting them
out, however, l dug holes where was 60
ing to put them, and filled them up with
some good stable manure. Upon this set
my plants which were watered and shaded
at the same time. The Dahlias grew off
wonderfully WELL but somehow seemed to
stop growth when but nine or ten inches
in height, Anyway they never produced
any flowers worth mentioning, although
suppose Dahlias must be classed with
Tulips and Hyacinths as one of those
plants that cannot be grown successfully
in the State. or anyway in the Southern
portion of it. The failure of these we'll
known flowers is due more to climate than
to soil, as the latter can easily be regulated
to suit their wants.
But though the plants I have mentioned
will not do we'll here, know of plant
that even in the hottest weather will thrive
we'll and produce an abundance of flowers
The plant 1 refer to is the Nicotiana
afinis, not the common tobacco but an
improved variety which bears dozens of
