Features of Aggressive Strength in Stock
 MarIrat


 Market.
 New York, Jan. 27.-There were a number of features of aggressive strength in to-day's stock market, but there were also evidences that the sus- taining force of these special stocks was taken advantage of to sell out heavy lines of other stocks to realize profits. The center of interest in the market continued to be New York Central The persistent advance in this stock is att tributed very generally in the street to inside buying, and the reports of pending plan for the merging of Lake Shore and New York Central find very general credence. All sorts of rumors are constantly afloat protesting to give in detail the plans for this merging and also for the consolidation of various other Vanderbilt properties, but no off, cial or authoritative announcement has been made, nor is one expected. The advance in New York Central was twice arrested during the day by reactions. The large absorption of the stock which developed before the decline had reach ed great length suggested the probabil- ity that the reaction was manipulated in the interest of those seeking to ac- quire the stock.
 Lake Shore yielded 1h of it's extreme advance of 21A before the close. It is noticeable that the Vanderbilt stocks. for the most part, close below last nights final prices. Northern Pacific preferred, Kansas and Texas preferred and Rock Island were leaders of the market in conjunction with New York Central. There were not lacking other features of strength in the market and the New York transit companies were conspicuous for sudden and sharp ad- vance in the final hour. But, consider ing the large volume of business, the small net advance in many active spec ulative favorites and the mixture of losses on the days business, it must be regarded as probable that there was large taking of profits by recent buy CTS.
 London had large account in the local market to-day. and on the side of sales there was balance of oyer 30.000 shares. There was no news to explain such change of front on the part of the British financial center, and it can only be accounted for by a significant disposition to take quick profits on a sharp advance.
 Sterling exchange responded to the London selling with rather firmer tone. There was no hardening tenden- cy perceptible in the local money mar ket.
 The enormous demand for middle grade and low-priced bonds continued in that department of the market to- day. The volume of transactions thus far in anuary is said to be far in excess of that for the corresponding period in any previous year. To-day's business was large and the advance is marked in the low-priced speculative issues. The total sales were s5,670,o0o.

In the early spring of each year in nearly

the entire Eastern and Western hemis-
pheres, have been arranged upon the
walls for the convenience OF the Presl-
dent.
Three sets OF telegraph Instruments nave

from all points Of the globe
While the war is on a new set of rules

The war chamber viii be locked from the
entry, so the doorway through which WIS.,
ting statesmen have hitherto passed en-
route TO the Presidents room is blockaded
until further orders. Arthur summons,
the sable messenger, who guards Private
Secretary Porter's door, is TO be moved

so that senators, representatives and other
privileged callers, who have previously
had free access to these rooms, will have

The reason given for this new rule of
practice and the precautions, which SAVIOR
of exclusiveness, is that the President de-
sires every reasonable facility for obtain

chamber are a consecutive suite. 1t Is not

The restrictions temporarily placed upon

President to deny himself 10 even his best

for senators and representatives 90 walk
right into the Presidents room, without
knocking. The new arrangement may
prove little Irritating ataflrst. but 1t is
believed that reasonable men will appre-
ciate the necessity for the change, under
existing circumstances.

DESTROYING Nut Grnss.

To the farmer who has hogs, this grass
need not be a source of any concern, says
an exchange, as it is a valuable swine
feed and the hogs will keep it in check
if they do not wholly eradicate it by root
ing for the nuts. But to the trucker or
fruit grower 1t is a cause of considera ole
trouble. To effectually and quickly de-
stroy nut grass on any land infested with
it, the soil should be frequently stirred
during the growing period of summer, so
as to stimulate each tuber and seed to
sprout The best season for lighting it is
between midsummer and frost time. AL
though myriads of the sprigs will snow
themselves above ground in a day or two
after each working of the soil, even in
The spring months yet the seed stems will
rot shoot up till late in the season, and
the secret of success is to cut down every
tai stem while in the Towering stage at
the latest, and the earlier the better The
old method of destroying cocoa, or nut
grass, by cutting it off beneath the ground
every time a sprig appears above the sur
face is a useless expenditure of labor It
is requisite only to pillow or chop down the
| grass at the regular intervals of working.
Indian corr, collards, or any other crop.
BY the above method two years are aSn-
pie time in which to rid any ground of
cocoa In fact one reason is sufficient
| to subdue it, except that in subsequent
| years few scattering sprigs will show
| themselves, which can easily be prevented
| from going to seed by close attention. One
| cause that has enabled cocoa so long and
| so deffantly TO hold it's sway in the South
| is that there are so few crops which are
| hoed or plowed in the fall of the year.
In addition to the above methods of
! destroying nut grass by cultivation &pd

| little attention may be probably applied.
Choke it out with vigorous growing crop.
After the summer-cultivateds crop is mar
vested, pillow and prepare the land thor

ter crop adapted to the soil. Cropping
with rye or oats for winter grazing, TO be
turned under the green fertilizer in the

bare. The winter crop in any case should

The FLORIDA Cranberry.

The FLORIDA cranberry is not cram
berry, but what is known in this section
as Jamaica sorrel, or hibiscus sabdarifa
says the Fruit Growers Journal They
appear to grow on trees>which have reach
ed hight of seven feet Trunks and
leaves are as red as berries. The flowers
on the trees open al sunrise and close at
noon. This is something new for Florida
1t is something for Florida to have the
Jamaica sorrrel called sorrel. Science
tells US that the cranberry grows in Can
ada, the Northern states, and sparely as
far South as Virginia. Ii certainly is a
cold weather plant. Now, what is the
Jamaica sorrel? 1t is a sour fruit, or edi-
BILE buds. 1t is thrifty growing annual
bush or shrub of the hibiscus family. The
trunk and branches are red, and the
leaves are a reddish green. 1t blooms at
sunrise or early twilight. and the bloom
invariably falls to the grounds by noon.
The blossom is large and yellow, with a
dark or nearly black center, and of the
shape of the ordinary hibiscus flower. Aft
er the bloom has fallen the seed pods, and
the husk or calyx makes rapid growth and
soon becomes fit for use. Only the calyx
or covering Of the bud should be used. 1t
IS exceedingly dclu, ana Oh IdT DSlLSF ud-
vor than the cranberry, currant or cher
ry. 1t fruits prolifically. If we cali the
buds fruit. From that fruit or bud the
most delicious jams, jellies, canned goods
and sauces are made. Not only those
things that fit best on tables but wines
and temperance drinks, and I think BRAN
dies can be made of it that are equal to
the. best. 1t is a perfect substitute for
the cranberry but the cranberry is not
a substitute for the Jamaica sorrel.
viii this plant be profitable? I think
so, though l have not yet known it TO be
grown for proflt. One quart of the fruit
will make as much. and / believe snere
jelly, than quart of any other fruit Al
least LOCO plants can be grown upon an
acre, yielding from four to sixteen quarts
to the plants. Any housewife can make
fair estimate of what amount of jelly
a bushel of acid fruit would make, and
any business man knows that the best
profit is in the manufactured material.
In this day of invention cheap canning
and Jelly factories can be had. One. can
make a great profit on a field of Jamaica
sorrel by owning and operating a cheap
and small jelly apd canning factory. Say
a family outfit costing about 500. The
same outfit could be used upon other
fruit, and then there is fruit of some kind
about all the time
1 forgot to speak of the jamaica sorrel
leaves, which have the acid Of the buds,
and from which jelly can be made. The
leaves are used as pot herbs. That is,
boiled as greens, and are. very palatable.
Take it, all in all, Jamaica sorrel is a
good thing.
