THEIR GREAT VARIETY AND THE CHARM OF
THEIR DIFFERENT EFFEcTs-How
THEY SHOULD BE GROWN.
1t Is. just at this that the owners OF con-
tories and that much larger class Of persons
for whom the beautiful. od-fashioned window gar
den excellent substitute are making
choice OF their winter flowers, and casting about for
those which are best suited to indoor cultivation.
There is one family Of plants which Is especially
fitted for this purpose-the begonia. 1t does not
seem TO have received the attention which II de-
serves, and yet there are probably more begonia
enthusiasts than are suspected among amateur flor
lists This brings up n rather interesting point In
regard to flower culture. The two classes. amateurs
and professionals, exist here In most other occu-
patons and arts There is a vast difference between
them. not much In their methods OF work-for
both. to be successful. must understand the par
ticular treatment which each species requires-out
chiefly in the point of view from which they regard
flowers.
The professional florist will not spend much time
over a plant which does not give rapid and snowy
results II it's blossoms are not well suited Tor cut
ting purposes, that Is a strong argument IN FAVOR
OF its neglect for it is. of course. from his cut
flowers that the merchant reaps the chief proht In
his business. The professional florist Is also gov
erned strongly by the prevailing fashion. which az
fects flowers with more weight than most people
suppose. In the of the amateur all these con-
ditions are practically reversed. 1t makes not a
particle OF difference to the true lover OF flowers
whether the species in which he happens to be In
terested Is popular at that time or not. He Is rails
ing 1t for the pure enjoyment of the task; conse-
quently 1t does not trouble him If the blossoms
which 1t bears will not lend themselves readily to
forming bouquets And so far is he from feeling
Impotence or dssa tsfaction when the plant turns
out less bold and striking than the majority OF those
raised by the professional that he Is rather pleased
hal 1fferent I'm fact. he discovers
beauties and points of interest which usually escape
the ordinary observer.

WALL STREET SPECULATION
Interest Centers in the Settlement OF
Railway Troubles
The Market Opens Firm With a Better Dis
tribution of Busincss--Siver Certiii-
Gates Show Unusual Activity

Associated Press Special Wire.
New YORK, March 12.-Interest in Wall
street today centered in the probable action
of the board of directors of the st. Paul
railroad at their meeting to act upon divi-
dends for the half year and the delbera-
,lons of the officials of the General electric
and Westinghouse companies regarding
an amicable and busnesslike agreement
to abate the ruinous competition that has
been going on for long time past. In the
first point the expectations of the financial
comn.dnity were fulfilled, as the dividend
rata OH st. Paul common stock was in
creased to 4 por cent yearly basis. Re-
garding the electric companies, rumors Of
an agreement to be shortly announced had
been current in the streets for severa! days
past. 1t was even stated that an agree.
rnent had been signed several days ago
subject to the ratification today of the re-
spective board of directors. The arrange
nent concluded today covers a divis ion of
territory, establishes mutually satisfactory
prices and other essential points. and will
be ba;ied with satisfaction by the security
hs.fders of both properties whose money
has been for n long time past dissipated in
she conduct of expensive patents and other
legal suits. After the exciting manipula-
ton of the industrial shares of the past few
days, a relief was today afforded by a more
general disposition to trade in railway
shares. The government crop statistics
and the expectation of the increased div-
aend on st. Paul were the contributory in
tluences. Violent changes occurred in the
indIstrials. London was not factor in
the speculation. Tho market opened with
a firm tone and a more general distribu-
rion of trading. In the general list the
gains included sugar, l per cent. The
closing was strong at general net gains, eX-
tending to l per cent in many shares.
ernment bonds were without important
change. The dealings footed up $4,000.
Renewed activity developed in silver GER
lificates, $4,000 being traded in at 69h

The DAYS Transactions on tn: Bo1ri OF
Trade
CHICAGO, March 12.-Wheat was very
nervous and somewhat irregular at the
opening, covering over l cent range. The
opening indicated that some of the opera
tors feared damage to the plant might re.
suit from the cold weather, and for an
hour or more the prevalence of that idea
was seen in q gradual, though not very
material advance in the price. Besides,
there seemed to be disposition to revive
previous opinions on the government re-
port and give it bullish rather than bear
ish construction. The market had appar-
emily been oversold yesterday, and the
change in sentiment caused shorts some
alarm and there was active covering for
time. which soon put the market up about
14c over the close yesterday. But at the
advance the speculative offerings in
creased, one broker being reported as hav-
ing sold 100000 bushels supposed to
be for a firm interested largely in the
packing business, and others followed and
sold, too. Then came Beerbohm.s esti-
mates of stocks in Russia, showing them to
be about 100000 bushels larger than a
year ago, and the weakness was increased.
The market steaded up trifio on reports
of liberal quantities being taken for export,
but operators felt little suspicious of the
reliability of them, and the effect was tri-
fling. Corn was neglected and the busi-
ness done was extremely light. Oats were
slow and fluctuations very narrow. An
easier feeling was manifested in sympathy
with wheat and corn, and final figures
show slight recession. Provisions at the
opening showed the usual result of pleth-
ora of hogs. and heavy feeling prevailed
throughout the day.
