The Rate Reached 100 Per Cent. Before
the Day Closed.
New York, Oct. ga somewhat apa-
thetic speculation in stocks today was
enlivened by extreme stringency in rates
for call money The first loan was made
at 10 per cent. and the rate then jumped
up rapidly and finally about 12:3O p. III.
a broker who wanted money was COM
PEELED to bid the rate up to so per cent.
before he could secure the required ac-
commodation. The price then fiuctuated
between 40 and SO per cent Business
was only moderate as offerings of funds
were extremely light.
The immediate cause of the stringency
was the calling Of loans by some of the
banks that wished to prepare themselves
for possible large demands tomorrow.
Loans made on Friday go over until
Monday according to the custom of the
street, although the banks legally have
the right to call money on any day of
the week. The banks as a rule are re-
serving their surplus funds for the ac-
commodation of their regular customers,
some of whom are being supplied at 6
per cent in proportion to the business
being done by them. In some instances,
however. banks have called loans for the
express purpose of making a turn In
money on the street.
The stringency was not especially due
to shipments OF funds to the interior, as
the volume of this business has not ex-
ceeded the average of last week.
Bankers report sharp inquiry for funds
by their regular clients and sympathetic
hardening influence upon the money mar
ket was exerted by a report of an in
crease in the demands for cash gold.
Bullion brokers advanced the commits
sion premium of the gold 3-16 per cent.
to IA to Is per cent. Predictions are cur
rent in tho street of tarial1V HIGHER
figures in money tomorrow, but some
leading bankers express the opinion that
the worst of the furry has been seen.

WHEAT WAS UP AGAIN.
Favorable Foreign Cables and Bet
ter Northwest Advices
@.. Gives Strength.

Chicago, H., Oct. 29.-The bullish
whirl which the wheat market expert
enced yesterday afternoon was the mere
raising of the dust by the preliminary
gusts of wind which precede a hurricane.
The 2H-cent rise of the previous day
was increased in the course of the first
fifteen minutes this morning by the addi-
ton of another "a cents, or. in other
words, December, which closed on the
day before at 7Oa4 to 7Oas cents, sold as
high as 73 cents in the time named. The
rush of buyers at the start was such that
sellers easily secured from 71as to y
cents at the first brush in the pit and
not many but got at least g cent above
the lower of these prices. In ten min
utes, as already stated. the price had
risen to 70 cents, and after reacting to
721a cents, it rose to 1874 cents. From
the latter point there was more seri-
Gus decline than the first.
December wheat closed at 71h cents.
The chief reason for the early adj
vance was the strong tone of the Liver
pool cablegrams. The price of Ameri-
can futures were III per Genital higher
than it closed ON the day before and ca
bles received later reported another sd
advance. or a total rise of I'd, which is
bushel Other cable messages from that
place referred to the big business done
yesterday in California wheat for Eng
lish account. Seven cargoes in all were
taken, five of them for Australia and one
each for Calcutta and the Cape. In adj
dition to the English advices New York
shortly after the opening wired that
both England and the continent were lib
eral buyers of wheat futures.

Spring Seeding to Grass.

George NJ. Clark in n communication
to Rural New Yorker writes:
My first experiment in spring seed
ing was timothy and clover, III April,
1850, with oats. The field sloped to the
south and was composed Of a moist
loan. The oats and grass came up we'll,
and the grass was a foot high and look
ed well when the oats We're cut. The
oats were cut at the top Of the grass,
which let tho hot summer sun in on to
the young grass and killed it all. Since
that time | have tried spring seeding
several times-mOro than 100 times-in
all conditions of soil, and i'll no case
have known of good stand. If one
has plowed' lands or wornout grass
fields in the spring that he wishes TO
seed to grass he would better plant
some quick growing crop like oats, bar
ley, millrt or some other crop that will
mature by the middle of July. then
clean the land, thoroughly cultivate AS
| have formerly described and seed in
September. In this latitude this Is the
month to SOW grass seed,
Again, never plant any other crop
with it. BY doing this you will have
free, clean land for the spring crop and
also for this grass crop and secure the
first grass crop at the same time. Do
not forget perfect cultivation. Good
grading and careful seeding in the
month of September will almost invari
ably secure a good stand and, if it has
proper nutriment, excellent results.
Spring seeding to grass, in my expert
ence, has always been failure.

COLD FRAN ES,

6ssful For Winter Gardening How to
Construct One at small Expense.
The use Of cold frame adds very
materially to the lenethening out of the
vegetable season. Any one handy with
tools can easily construct frame. This
should be 6 feet wide and may be of
any length desired. For ordinary family
use frame of four sashes that is | 2 feet
in length will be sufficient. OF course
for market gardening purposes the ex-
tent Is almost unlimited. The best loca-
tion for such frame is where there Is
an eastern or southeastern exposure and
shelter from the north and northwest
winds. Common hemlock boards will
answer for the frame, according to
American Agricultural, authority for
the following:
Before placing this in position the soil
should be dug out to the depth of 10 or
II inches Then posts are to be driven
at each corner and the boards nailed to
these so that one. half of their width
is above the level of the surface. The
rear board should be or inches
higher than the front ono in order TO
give sufficient slope to the sashes. Three
feet from the end there should be "a
crosspiece about inches wide to
strengthen the side boards and to serve
as a support for the sa,bes. The space
from which :he soil has been dug out
should now be filled in with the best
and richest garden soil obtainahle
The frame ,is now ready to receive
cabbage, eaulifiower and lettuce plants
for early spring transplanting The usu
al number put under one sash Is from
300 to 400. If the weather should be
dry and the sun hot at midday, the
plants may have to be shaded and wa
tered once or twice. After they have
once taken root there is very little trou-
bic with them. The sashes should be
raised on all warm sunshlny days aud
well covered when the weather is cold.
Thus treated lettuce plants will be
ready for planting in hotbeds in Janu-
airy or February and tho cabbage and
caulifower in the open ground as soon
as the season opens. After the plants
have been taken out the frame may be
transformed into hotbed, or it may be
used to good advantage for transplant
ing tomatoes, eggplauts, peppers, etc,
out of "a separate hotbed where the
plants have been started. The cost of
construction is but trifing, and sashes
ready for use can be procured at "A small
cost

Flowing and Reseeding.

Within tho past few years there have
been more than usual complaints OF
grass and clover seeds not "catching'
well and Of running OUT after an APP
parently good seeding had been secured.
Drought or hard freezing in winter l.
commonly gwen as the reason for these
grass failures. But in many cases this
does not explain the whole difficulty,
says The American Cultiyator, which
explains:
AS vegetable matter IN the soil de
creases it is much more injured by
drought than it Is while the soil retained
its virgin fertility. Our climate is not
Il moist one, like that of England and
our winter cold Is much more severe.
We cannot expect permanent grass
either for pasture or meadow To plOw
and rcsecd every second or third year
seems to be IA necessity of good farming
in our northern states. Nor is this ne
cessity any real hardship. The first year
or two after seeding the crop is always
better than after, and then, too there is
the best sward To pillow under. English
turf may keep thickening as the years
pass by, bnt cur grass lands are sure to
grow thin The longer the replowing is
delayed the moro difficult it is likely to
be to get "a good catch with the new
seeding

The rule generally given is that it is
safe to prune during the time the leaves
are off, ANY time during the autumn,
winter and before the sap begins to flow
in the spring. Professor Slayton of the
Michigan station does not think so, as
experiments he has matte proved that
pruning during the winter months was
injurious, at least to apples and pears.
The work is best done, he thinks, IN
October. The movement of tine sap then,
slight though it is, fills the pores of the
wood at the surface of the cut and pre-
vents evaporation from freezing and
from bleeding when the flow begins in
the spring All cut surfaces Of any size
should be left for day or two to dry
and then he covered with liquid graft
ing WAX or be- painted.

At the la annual convention Of tn,
North American Beekeepors a~socia
ton the importance of watering the api-
ary received attention. The subject was
introduced by IA paper read by +. Whit
comb Of Nebraska. He said:
The necessity Of water by the honey
bees is to dissolve honey which some
times becomes candied in the cells, and
in brood rearing they can make but lit

ply of water In curly spring, when
compelled TO go long distances or to Sc

apiarist j. fully aware of the value of
these little water gatherc1s at this sea

lose four times their number a month or
two later ON. 1t is apparent that many
eases of so called spring dwindling is
trareable to the want of water of the
proper temperature supplied at conven-
tent places IN the apsay.
The advantages Of providing watel
for the bee are first, to avoid thirst; sec

To obviate these difficulties | bring

of temperature best suited to meet the
requirements Of tho bee. Thus she may
secure an abundant supply on making

To avoid the difficulty of readily attract
