Stacks Were Very Quiet and Irregular
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
New York. Nov. 27.--Stocks we're
quiet and very irregular to-day. Oper-
ators generally were disposed to hest
tate until the presidents message is
sent to congress and commission
houses complained of lack of orders.
Room traders We're bullish and bearish
by fits and starts, but their operations
We're on much smaller scale than of
late.
In the early dealings the tendency
was downward on account of lower
cables from London, the general ex-
pectation that the st, Paul and Bur-
lington and Quincy statements now due
will be unfavorable and an advance of
one-half cent in the posted rates of
sterling exchange to $4S4@$4.S74a.
The Industrial group scored the heav-
lest losses at this time. Consolidated
Gas dropped SO. to 1914 The directors
usual quarterly dividend of per cent.
This was disappointment, as the
declaration of an extra 10 per cent.
dividend had been looked for in some
quarters. The management, according
to official statements, did not consider
the question of consolidating with the
other local companies. This was a dis
appointment and led to liquidations.
Laclede Gas common broke Az, to "a,
and the preferred Az, to rs. Rumors of
Forthcoming unfavorable decision by
the United States supreme court had
an adverse influence on these stocks.
In the inactive issues Long Island,
which has been heavy Of late, dropped
81, to 541a.
Toward the close st. Paul and Omaha
ran UP 2ia, to 467a, on talk of a divi-
dend of 11s per cent. This was not
generally credited, however, in usually
well Informed quarters. This stock was
also benefited by the favorable state
ment for October. For the month
named the road earned $1,117261, an
a strengthening effect on the market
in the late dealings and the closing
while quiet was firm.
A feature of the day was the enor-
nous supply of money offering on call.
One broker alleged to be acting for the
American Sugar Refining company lent
SO, 800 900 at 2 per cent. Estimates place
the total loans to-day at this rate at
nearly seven millions.
Speculation closed firner in tone.
Some of the prominent stocks showed
gains of B@2A per cent, while others
lost A@1 per cent. In the specialties
Long Island lost 81, Laclede Gas Az,
Laclede Gas preferred Az, and the
National Starch first preferred 81 pei
cent.
Bonds closed firmer. Total sales wera
! 81, 254 900.

GOLD ALMOST \ DRUG.

The net gain in gold Monday at New
York and San Francisco was 81 ,034, 700.
The resources of the treasury are being
severely taxed to meet the demands for
paper notes in exchange for gold. In
many cases the gold holders ask for United
States notes of large denominations in en-
change, as the latter are as available for
reserve AS Is the gold, but they express a
willingness to accept Sherman notes or, if
necessary, silver certificates, if the govern
ment is unable to furnish United States
notes The demand for large denomina-
tons is not imperative, the principal thin e
being to get paper money. Reports from
all parts of the country tend to show that
nearly all of the gold withdrawn durin g
the last several weeks was for the purpose
of boarding, and now that the supposed
danger is passed the gold is being offered
at the several sub-treasures or is being de-
posted in banks, and SO is finding its way
into the government Golfers. The rush of
gold offers is so great that i'll New York,
at least, the assistant treasurer has been
compelled to refuse gold until such time
as he was able to handle it, and in Il num-
Der of instances currency has been ship
ped from one sub-treasury to another to
meet the unusual damands The reserve
Monday passed the $40, 000, 900 point, and
the officials have no doubt that it will reach
IA much higher figure before the close Of
the year The increase in business gener-
ally predicted, it is believed, will result in
greatly increased receipts from customs
and from internal revenue, so that the
present treasury deficit is likely to be re-
duced to some extent before the Inaugural
ton of Mr.. Mckinley

Mr.. Bryan'S Future.

The Atlanta Journal saws: We do not
think Mr. Bryan will ever be President,
but he has very hopeful future. He en-
joys the distinction of being the young
man who was ever nominated for Presi-
dent and in long and arduous campaign
sustained himself remarkably we'll He
has shown that he is more than Il brilliant
orator. The country recognizes in him a
man of strong convictions and decided
force. 1t was Il great honor to be chosen
the standard bearer of the democratic par
ty, and Mr.. Bryan probably made the best
race any man could have made on his
platform. His defeat, ovcrwhelmin" as it
is, by no means eliminates him as Il factor
in politics. He will have many other OPP
portunities and we hope he will use them
well. 1t is reasonable to believe that he
will have a prosperous career. He is both
Il lawyer and an editor and has won dis
tinctiog in both professions. The promi
ncnce which recent circumstances gave
him will naturally bring his services into
great demand, and whether he chooses to
practice law or to return to journalism, he
will undoubtedly prosper. Our best wishes
go to Mr.. Bryan and we hope to see the
future bring him rich reward,

The Mckinley Cabinet.

A great deal of speculation is being
INDUCED in with regard to the Cabinet
officers to he appointed by President
elect Mckinley. The sound money
Democrats who supported him will
probably look for some recognition, al
though their support was given with
out any conditions. We believe with
the Philadelphia Times that, 1t would
he Il grave mistake to urge upon the
new President the selection of Il sound
money Cabinet officer. 1t would Meth
er strengthen the administration, nor
would it strengthen the cause of the
sound money Democrats. Never did
any large number ofintclligent citizens
give a more independent and patriotic
support to a candidate than the sound
money Democrats gave to Mckinley,
and any attempt on the part of the all
ministration to reward them by official
patronage. or in any way beyond pay
inc reasonable Difference Ia the conser-
vative democratic sentiment in the
general policy Of his administration,
would befwithout advantage either to
the President or TO the sound money
cause within Democratic circles.

Gain of Democratic Votes in the
Lower House.

The next House Of Representatives
will show undoubted Democratic gains.
Full returns from all the states show
that the Democrats have made con-
rressional gains as follows: California,
/: Colorado, :: Delaware |; Idaho, l.;
Illinois, |: Indiana, >; Kansas, l.: Ken
lucky, |; Michigan, |: Missouri, &;
Nebraska. ): Ohio, 4; Pennsylvania, |;
Tennessee. =: Utah, |: Washington, /;
total. 30 The Populists have gained
votes in California, ,: Illinois, ,; Indi-
ana, |: Kansas, I: Michigan, |: Mis-
souri,. |: Montana. |: North Carolina,
,. and Washington, |: total, l6. The
Republicans have gained three Con
gressmen in Maryland. one in Virginia
one in New \ ort> and one in Louisiana:
total. 6. The net Democratic gain of
votes. therefore. in the next Congress
is %: the net PopuliSt gain -, and the
net Republican los, 81. Utah's repre-
sentative adds one more to the total
number But two gold Democrats
were elected. and the net gain to the
silver men. therefore. combining both
Democrats and Populists, is Sc. One
of the Republicans elected in New
York is james J. Belden, an indepen-
dent. who defeated the regular nomi-
nee. but who is witIal stanch Repub-
lcan.

TREE PLANTING SEASON.

Fruit trees, when they are first received
from the nursery, if they cannot be plant
ed at once should be heeledin in. The prop
er way to heel them in is to pillow up a
narrow strip of high, dry ground, harrow
it fine, then, with the two-horse pillow throw
out Il deep furrow, going twice in the row;
now take the shovel. throw out the loose
dirt, then take the trees and place their
roots in this furrow, laying the trees down
close to the ground. Cover the tree roots
at once, pressing the earth with the foot
close up to the roots. One foot of earth
should be placed on the roots. Eft the roots
are dry, sprinkle them with water before
covering with earth.
After the roots are covered take the back
of shovel and pat the ground hard.
Tender fruit and ornamental trees
should have their tops slightly covered
with evergreen boughs. If possible have
the holes for the tree dug before the trees
arrive. The fall is the best time to plant
as "a better selection of trees can be made
at the nursery, more time can be given
in digging them up, and, as general
thing, if they are to be shipped, cheaper
rates can be secured. Then again labor
is cheaper and more abundant in the fall
the soil is moist and easy to dig, and the
trees if properly planted, are sure to live.
and will make a very early growth next
spring In planting, do not take out too
many trees at once, and allow the roots
to dry out. Set the trees and cover with
the fine black soil first, and after they are
all set go back and fill up the holes. The
tree-roots should never he allowed to dry
out With little care few trees will be
lost if planted in the fall. For our section
the month of November is the most favor
able season for planting fruit and orna-
mental deciduous trees and shrubs. Ever
grccu trees and shrubs should be set out
during the last of April or early in May.
They may, with little risk, be removed,
when taken up with large balls of earth,
any time after the month of January, or
when the severe winter weather is past.
If possible select the trees from a nurse
cry close at hand, and have them dug up
and planted out the day after they arrive.
