The local spot market was devoid of
interest during the past week. The Of
4ier55hgg We're light and transactions linn
tied. The influence Of the advance In fu-
lures for the summer months caused a
rise OF l-l5c on spots, but did not slim
ulate buying TO any extent.
The stock on hand is comparatively
small and four foreign steamers are now
loading cotton for Europe, while the
c0as wise steamers are taking fair guam
tlty on each trip north. The receipts are
also dropping off. Crop accounts are
good. the, weather being favorable for
the growth.
The following were the official spot quo
tations, at the close Of the market, at the

May Week.
Savannah. May s.-There was very lit
tie interest shown in the general whole
sale markets during the past week. al
though a fair business was done. or
ders were withheld from the country by
merchants who expect TO visit the mar
kets during May week. and make pur-
chases personally. A large crowd is eN-
pected and business next week WILL no
doubt be quite heavy.
The naval stores market during the
week was on a decline, with strong de-
mand at the lower prices. Cotton ad-
vanced Lice, but there was very little do
ing. as the offerings were small. The
security market was quiet throughout the
week, very few transactions being re-
ported. The lumber trade was active, a
large fleet of vessels being loaded for
northern ports. The following resume Of
the different markets VIII show the tone
and the quotations at the close to-day:

NAVAL STORES.

Spirits Turpentine-During the past
week the market had a steady decline,
Opening at 25kc. Il dropped TO 2Jc and fol-
lowed by a further decline TO 2i%tc, and
to-day closed at 24lac. The buying at
the declines was active and as the offer
ings were large, factors sold freely. The
number Of vessels. which have been load
ing for the past two weeks have about
finished, consequently buyers were in no
great rush TO secure stocks during the
past few days. The exports during the
week were unusually heavy.
Rosin-The heavy demand at stim prices
subsidized during the past week and a de-
cline In prices followed a disinclned in
terest TO buy al the official quotations.
The market dropped about 10c barrel on
all grades. The transactions after tho
decline were large, and the week wound
up with a full volume of business.
Quotations-At the close of the market
Thursday night the following quotations
were bulletined at the Board Of Trade:

An Erroneous Idea.

A recent author shows that preya-
lent notion that the Japan ivy and sim
liar plants which cling to the wall by
rootIet, make the walls damp, is the re-
verse of the fact. Tons Of water are
evaporated daily from these leaves in the
growing season-an amount which it is
almost i'm possible they could draw from
the earth through stems which, at the
ground, are seldom thicker than ones
finger. The rootlets suck water from
walls to help supply this waste; besides
this, they cool walls by their shade in
summer. The action of the English ivy
on ruins is referred to as practical proof
of the drying character of these rootlets,
the mortar is so hard and dry that 1t is
difficult to demollsh the old walls. If
the branches are allowed to get into
cutters Or other water conduits, so as to
choke the flow IN heavy rains, it is said
the walls may be rendered damp; but
not by the mere cllnging to the walls of
the plants themselves.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-07-29

grass is all planted the lawn should be
leveled off and if possible rolled. Moth
ing should be allowed to cross the lawn
till the grass has nearly covered it, for
depressions made will remain and will
be a hindrance to the lawn mower. The
first cutting of the grass should be done
with scythe as there is not sod enough
formed to hold up the weight Of the
lawn mower. In fact, it may need cut
ting twice with the scythe before the
lawn mower can be used to advantage.
This will depend on how liberal the fer
tilizer has been applied and how much
rain has fallen since the grass was put
out. We should say that the best time
to start lawn is at the beginning of the
rainy season, as the roots grow readily
at that time and by fall form good sod.
AS to how 10 take care Of lawn after
you have got one, we will tell in next
weeks issue.

We wonder how those who love the
delicate fragrance Of the rose or the
sweet perfume of the carnations would
like to have plant of the A31St0Iochl0
Si9us in bloom in their parlor. We re-
produce the following from the bulletin
of the Royal Botanical Gardens Of Trini-
dad so that our readers can form some
idea of its fragrance CD.
Presidents in Trinidad are we'll ac-
quainted with the ubiquitous "Cor-
beau or John Crow" Vulture, Cathar-
tus atratus, for these birds are common
both in town and country and act as
scavengers by feeding upon all kinds of
carrion. Their sense Of sight and smell
is very keen, and has often been the
subject of discussion and sometimes Of
dispute between naturalists. "Gosse"
who wrote on the Natural History of
Jamaica many years ago, records some
interesting facts in relation to this mat
ter, showing that the sense Of smell as
well as of sight can be employed at will.
My object in writing is to put on record
a circumstance which occurred recently
in the Royal Botanic Gardens, in which
it was clear that the sense of smell only
was employed. In part Of the Gardens
plant of Arist010czaa sezs-as var. Stu1-
teOamtl1 was in flower. This plant on
opening, gives off an offensive odor
resem bling that arising from carrion.
During the morning hours this is more
than usually pronounced, and vultures
that detect 1t, at once aight on trees
close by, their movements being similar
to those they use when in sight of prey.
The birds are however disappointed of
their meal as it is simply the odor
from the flower which brings them to the
spot, their sense OF smell in this case
failing to supply them with suitable
meal. They were in fact 'Corbeaux
in Error"
