ADAPTATION OF PLANTS.
NO Place in the World Where Vegeta-
tion Does Not Exist.

No matter where plants grow, how
unfavorableI the soil or atmosphere,
they almost manage to adapt them
selves to circumstances. Excepting
the greatest ocean depths, there is no
place in the world where vegetable
life does not exist. Off Terra del
fuego, where the tremendous breakers
roar and crash against the rocks they
wear away, there floats on the sur
face Of this turmoil of waters acres of
marine plant which rises from a
depth of 200 or more feet, its roots i'm
bedded in the ocean bottom. No force
snakes it loose. Its stem is never an
inch through, and is round and slip
perry, yet few of them will support an
immense weight. Darwin, in writing
OF the sensitjVeness of the tip ends OF
the roots Of plant, says they are so
susceptible to external impressions that
they are, in reality, brains, and di-
dect the movements of the other parts
OF the plant There is a plant which,
by the opening and closing of its
leaves, toretells rainy weather; the
compass plant of New Mexico has
leaves SO sensitive to magnetic currents
that the bewildered traveller can tell
flcm the way 1t arranges it's leaves
which way is north. Great fields of
the sensitive plant in Brazil will, at
the tramp of horses hoofs, SILVER and
close up the circles and waves over
the field while this is going on being
very curious. The Venus fy-trap is
well known; the leaves are divided by
the nidrib into two halves, which are
set with bristles, and If fly or insect
alights on the surface the two halves
instantly clap together and hold the fly
prisoner for life. While these move
mems are automatic, there are plants
which seem to move whenever they
take notion to do so. A leguminous
plan OF the East Indies puzzles spec
tators by moving its leaves up and
down whenever it takes a notion to do

New York, April Pr. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly report says that if either
Turkey or Greece had been wholly
buried in the sea, the markets might
have been affected less than by the out
break OF war in Europe. Like a fire in
the heart of crowded city it raised
the question whether a general con-
flagration would spring out of it. To
this possibility, and not to the direct
influence of either Turkey or Greece
upon the worlds money OF produce
markets, is due the excitement in grain
and stocks. The American markets
are much more f1ighty than
the European, where the possibilities
have been discussed and partly dis
counted for months. But the uncer-
tainty remains, and will affect the
movement of money and staples until
it disappears, creating larger demand
for American products at higher prices
and causing hasty and speculative SELL
ing Of securities at times, but also more
continuous buying by foreign investors.
Wheat rose cents from Thursday to
Monday, and has retained most of the
rise. Since Russia and the Danubian
states will be likely to ship wheat
scantily, a larger share of the require
ments of western Europe may natural
ly be drawn from this country and the
chance Of war between the great pow
ers has more influence because supplies
there are not large. Western receipts
for the past three weeks have been S.
GAL 900 bushels against 5,934,00O last
year. Atlantic exports begin to gain
slightly, amounting during the past
week to 1,190,330 bushels flour in
cluded) against 1,OS60OO last year. At
lantic exports Of corn were 4,189 900
bushels for the week and for three
weeks 1921, 900.
The past week witnessed starting OPP
erations by several iron works, and
yet prices of pig iron and unfinished
products are lower, the demand not
yet equalling the supply. Bess,mer
pig sold as low as So. O5 at Pittsburg
and grey forge for $3.50 at Birming-
ham. Steel billets fell To $12.25 at
Pittsburg and angles to l cent, but
Wire rods can not be supplied fast
enough at $217 Nails are strong
and few more structural orders are
pending. Eastern works also have or
ders for $4,000 tons Of steel rails.
Large sales of copper are reported at
liz cents with production of 1928
tons for March.
Print cloths do not improve. Sales
of wool have been largely foreign, the
reports being swelled by the arrival OF
quantities sold sometime ago and i'm
ports to Boston, for the week were 3d.
900 bales, For the three chief cities

New York, April "a Bradstreets'
weekly report says that the change IN
the conditions underlying the general
trade, while slight this week nave
been in the direction Of Improvement
The depression in iron and steel con
tinues and bessemer pig and steel bill
let's have receded another 2 cents per
ton. The outlook favors an increase
in labor disturbances to resist mid
summer wage reductions. The t.tu-
minous coal mining industry is worse
off than the anthracite with rumors
of strikes which promise to have I'M
favorable influences on other than iron
and steel industries. Trade in wool is
quieter. There is less life in the
wholesale drygoods trade and little re-
lief has been experienced and not
withstanding the large auction sale of
cotton goods last week, buyers are
continuing to supply immediate needs
only. The tendency toward more set
tied weather stimulated the retail
demand, more particularly at the
aorthW1 st, notably for drygoods, hard
ware and millinery. The general
tendency of the Mississippi flood to
subside has created better feeling
Country roads have begun to improve
which benefits interior merchants.
The only large cities reporting an in
crease in the movement of merchan-
disc are st. Paul, Minneapolis, Milwau-
kee and Kansas City where the distri-
button of drygood.s, shoes, hardware
and building materials has been more
conspicuous. At almost all other
large centers there has been no ma
terial gain in industrial or commercial
lines. New Orleans reports that the
sugar lands have escaped the overflow
thus far. Exports IT wheat flour in
cluded) from both coasts of the United
States and from St. John, N. B., this
week were 1.654,e5 bushels against L.
344,0O0 last week and LIPS 900 bushels
a year ago. Exports OF Indian corn
amount to 4,76s,315 bushels this week
against 2,32S,000 bushels last week.
The total bank clearings OF the prin-
cipal cities Of the United States for the
week were $685., 219,7l9, decrease OF
~ per cent. compared with the cor
responding week of last year.

possibility of the creation OF tribunal
OF arbitration, or the establishment OF
some permanent system for the peace

tween the government in which the
speaker bears part and the represen-
tatiyes OF the country in which he is

gratifying, and the hope expressed by
him that the people Of these states,
