THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review.

New York. Tcc 6--Although Spccu-
lators in stocks have sought 10 in
tiuence prices for several weeks by
surprises on the contents of the rrcsi-
dents message the actual publication
of that document today had little effect
on the market. There was nothing in
it that came as a surprise, almost every
point having been accurately foretold
in detail Prices of stocks had been
advanced 90 some extent in anticipa-
ton of the message, and there was
some expectation that its publica ton
would be met by a decline caused by
realizing sales. But the market held
fairly steady after its publication un-
I'll raid by the bears in the final hour
which was encouraged by the weakness
OF New Jersey Central and the Coalers.
Union Pacific was directly affected by
the paragraph devoted to IL in the mes
sage and declined nearly n point. Most
Of the days movement of prices were,
however, due to special causes and
was marked in the speCialties. Total
sales were 3l9 200 shares.

Brussels Sprouts.

A member Of the cabbage tribe.
Characteristics are a long central stem
surmounted by an open head of leaves,
and numerous small heads * inch, or
larger in diameter) arranged, around
the stem in the axis Of the leaves.
These small heads are termed
Sprouts" The vegetable originated
in Belgium and has been cultivated ex-
tensively around Brussels since the
thirteenth century. Requires the same
treatment as cabbage. Soil must be
rich. Requires considerable moisture.
The small sprouts must grow rapidly
or they will be tough. Sow seed in hot
bed and transplant. or scatter seed in
hills and thin. Plants must have
plenty Of room. Rows should be thir-
ty inches apart and the plants not
closer than two feet. Ordinary culture
will sufice. Some authorities advise
that the sprouts should be frosted be-
fore using. Our experience is that It
causes q bitter taste. Sprouts half
inch in diameter are said to be much
more palatable than the large ones.
The top leaves are sometimes used as
greens. The aphis gives considerable
trouble. The best treatment is thor.
ough washing with soap suds.

old duke. who possessed more money
than he knew very we'll what to do

Roman Catholic Priest. orr.n'rs .

Roman Catholic Priests Organise 8
GrandsssArmy Post II = ri 1
A Grand Army post has just been
formed in Indiana whose membership.
with one exception, is made up, of Rom
an Catholic priests and brothers Of the
Order Of the Holy Cross. This un.qns
addition to the Grand Army is located
at Notre Dame, the seat Of Notre Dame
university. The formation Of the post
was suggested by the presence in the
university Of so many instructors who
fought in the war or were chaplains.
A brother who fought all through the
war in the Irish brigade was recently
transferred to Notre Dame from an
university, and list Of eligibles was
member Of the Grand Army and
wanted to remain one. The Very Rev.
Father Corby. who was chaplain Il
ths Irish brigade, is now superior Of
the Order Of the Holy Cross. He ap-
proved the suggestion of post at the
university, and a list ofeligibles was
made. Enough were found to make a
quorum and six over. Accordingly the
post was organized under permission
regularly granted by State Commander
Dodge. Notre Dame has q fine war
record. In all. eight priests left here
to serve as chaplains, most Of whom
are now dead. In addition. there were
sixty sisters Of the Order Of the Holy.
Cross who went out as nurses. under
Mother Mary Angela, cousin Of
James g. Blaine. Most Of the veterans
among the brothers Joined the organiz-
alton after the close Of the war. Gsl.
olmstead, who now belongs to the q.
der, is also member. The only lay
man who has been admitted to this
branch Of the church. militant is Col.
William Haynes, who is the dean OF
the law school. Brother Leander, who
was 3 private in the Fifteenth Regi-
ment Of the regular army all through
the war. was chiefly instrumental in
the posts organization.

che stack or the shoekl There is
a good deal to be said on both sides,
and, after all, the question Is one that
must be determined by circumstances.
II the grain can be cut In good time,
we'll shocked, the weather settled, and
the machine and help available when
wanted, we believe 1t Is best to thrash
direct from the shock. This, however,
occurs only once in while. The
weather east Of the Missouri cannot be
depended upon, neither can thrashing
machines nor help at this season of the
year. Even when help can be obtained
1t is higher priced than later. The
farmers by stacking their grain and
letting 1t 60 through the sweat can
change work and get through with very
little outside labor. The probability is
that the wheat will be put In the mar
ket in better condition and bring as
good or better price. Forty years ago
the man who was near the mill had
an early variety Of grain, and thrashed
from the shock in nine cases out of
ten got q better market than II he
stacked and thrashed later. The price
Of wheat now Is not determined by the
local mill. but by the general market,
and this again is determined not by the
supply in the county or state. or even
the United States, but by the markets
Of the world. Before any Iowa farmer
can thrash his grain now. grain will
be pouring in from Texas. Kentucky,
Kansas and Missouri: in fact it is be-
ginning to come into market already.
Our conclusion. therefore, is that ex-
cept in exceptional circumstances it is
best to stack and begin tirashing as
soon as the grain is In the right con-
dition. M
