After the Sea Subsi des Traces Of the Portland
Are Expected.

Orleans Mass, Dec. Nothing has de-
veluped since the finding of the body of
Oren Hooper. Sunday. to disturb the quiet
which followed the excitement caused by
the wreck of the steamer Portland. A re-
port was current, this forenoon. that
another body had been found, but it
proved to be an error.
The patrol of the shore is still being
maintained, and Agent Williams. of the
Portland Steamship CO., is doing what
he can to make the work of the life saw
ers as effective as possible. The agent
also is accommodating as much evidence as
he can from the experienced seamen here
as to the probable time and place of the
disaster.
Another storm began at S o'clock. last
night, and high eastnortheast gale de-
veloped afterwards and swept over Race
Point, Wood End and Provincetown.
Some important findings from the Port
land are looked far as soon as the sea
subsidies.

Winter oats should be seeded as soon
as possible, and not later than this
month. If the crop cannot be got in
during October, it is better to wait
until early spring. As fertilizer for
this crop, we strongly advise the use of
acid phosphate alone at the rate of
200 or 800 pounds to the acre. The cost
of this phosphate is now go reasonable

days ago who had bought acid phos-
