feeling of weakness. Longs quickly

fright soon became so general that the
liquidation rush finally became more
of a matter of finding buyers than of
prices. Short selling, led by Cudahy
was also general. July, which closed
yesterday at SSAc, sold down to S51ac,
and September fell off from 1880 to
741ac. There was a slight reaction dur
ing the last half hour OF the session,
due apparently more to profit taking
by the early short sellers than to any
real increase of strength in the general
situation. Atlantic port clearances for
the day were 665, 900 bushels The gov

week are about 100000 bushels, COM
pared with 5,322,000 bushels last year.
The weather conditions were unfa-
vorable for corn, but the weakness of
wheat and provisions started corn
prices down hill. July sc lower at

Oats followed corn; opened steady,

prices became better near the close.

sold down to 24c, up to 241s @24Ac,
down again to 2334, then up to 241s@

slump in provisions. Many outsiders
who did not act on the yellow fever
news yesterday let go their long pro-
visions to-day. There was also some
important selling by packers. July
opened 71ac lower at $10121a, adj
vanced to $10.171a, sold steady down
to 1857, the closing price. July lard
started 10c down at $780, declined to

Both the Connecticut senators-Hawley
and Platt-spoke against the government
free seed distribution when the agricultural
appropriation bill was before that body the
other day. Mr.. Platt read letter from
one of the oranges to whom he sent seeds
last year in which the writer said that the
seeds were so unreliable as to be worthless
and told the senator that if the money
was used for the free distribution of mails
in country districts it would do some good
which it does not now, Senator Hawley
said that the original idea of the distribu-
tion-to obtain new and valuable varieties
of seeds and have them tested in different
pats of the country--was all right, but it
has degenersted into buying lot of COM
mon stuff from large seed concerns and
sending it out regardless Of its merit. The
trouble is that the degeneracy has gone a
step farther than this, and now, instead of
the farmers wanting the seeds, it is the
congressman who want them for "pull"
with their constituents.

The program of business that is being
followed in the House indicates a purpose
on the part of Speaker Reed and his lieu
tenants to push the necessary legislation
through as rapidly as possible, with a view
of bringing the session to a close before
the summer months The general appro-
priation bills have been pushed in pursu-
ance with this policy, which is likely to
be continued until these money bills are
sent to the Senate. This is done with a
purpose not only to advance the public
business but to shut out consideration Of
all sorts of schemes for taking money out
of the treasury.
The most pressing public questions
which remain for consideration by the
House are the Senate resolution recognz-
ing the belligerency OF the Cubans, and
the bill for the restriction of immigration
which has passed the Senate. 1t is well
understood that Speaker Reed is stand
ing in front Of the Cuban resolution in
support of the policy Of The adminstra-
tion, and that, contrary to that policy, he
does not believe in and will not support
Ha Waiiau annexation.

Special Program Arranged by District
Deputy q. W. Pierce.


Deputy d. w. Pierce.
A special meeting of Protective grange
was held Wednesday evening under the
charge of District Deputy G, W. Pierce.
large number of members were present,
with representatives from Walpole, West
moreland Spofford, West Chesterfield and
and Hinsdale, \. H., as well as oranges in
our own county, Mr.. Pierce opened the
meeting with remarks concerning the
methods of securing model grange. One
thing necessary was good attendance,
each trying to give assistance. Have diff
ferent kinds of subjects; have little fun,
but be sure of solid work, something to
make better citizens. The grange choir
gave a selection; Mrs. May Edwards a
humorous reading The subject of "Ru-
raj Free Delivery was opened by j. +.
Gale. He gave a backward glance at the
postal system, showing its use and pro-
gress. Great Britain has had rural free
delivery for so years, and exceeds expenses
by ST., 900 600 to Sl5, 900 0O0 France es-
tablished rural delivery 6S years ago. In
1896 Congress made an effort to make

creased the number of routes. The route
established in Vermont is in Grand Isle
county Greenfield, Mass, is the nearest
point where the system has been tried. II.
K. Taylor said that in places where the
free delivery had been established it had
been q success. 1t certainly should be
considered without regard to the expense.
We should be up with the times. Mrs.
Fremont Hamilton sang very acceptably.
| d. 7. Perry gave humorous recitation.
Mrs. Hopkins read an article upon the du-
ties of woman, showing how valuable is
one who does her duty well.
Rev. K. S. Morse spoke upon the sub
| iect (Which is better for a boy starting
out in life, classical or an agricultural
college education" He thought it de-
pended much upon the makeup of the boy.
Educate to fill the place he likes best. A
lad who has taste for the classical will
never be farmer He referred to a young
man who was a graduate from the Brattle-
boro High school and a classical course.
He wished to become a farmer, but his
father desired him to go into the mercan-
tile business. He made a failure of that,
but is now a successful farmer. He ad-
vised the young man to study agricultural
books if he intends to farm. Study every
spare moment. Put enthusiasm into it.
