SUGAR BEETS.
There is More Profit to the Acre than Raising
Wheat.

New York Evening World: The beet
IL not the humble vegetable that most
people consider it, The sugar beet es-
pecially is an important factor in
American industries to which agricul-
ture Is allied. Claus Spreckels, the
sugar king, has invested over 1000, 900
in beet sugar refneries. One factory
alone consumes 1900 tons of beets
every day. Sugar is one OF the most
important foods consumed by people of
high civilization. In this country o.
100000 tons OF sugar are consumed an
nually. America will soon lead the
world in the production of sugar pro-
ducing beets.
Much of the sugar used in the great
fruit and condensed milk industries of
the country Is now imported, owing to
an insufflclency of the home supply.
To give us the necessary 100000 tons
of sugar every year, 1,333,333 acres of
beet producing land is required. which
should yield an average of 5000 pounds
of sugar to the acre. California is now
the center of the sugar beet industry.
There Is more profit to the acre for
the farmer who invests in sugar heets
than in the finest wheat. At twenty
bushels per acre and 20 cents per BUSH
el, the farmer receives but SIS per
acre for his wheat crop, while at $50
per acre for beets, one acre Of them
will yield three times as much.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, March 12-The professional
treders were somewhat astonished at the
effects they achieved in prices today. Ine
bears who attacked the market at the
opening had buying orders at the prices
to which they desired to drive stocks
The market showed itself SO weak whom
these prices were reached that the buy
ing orders were quickly withdrawn. This
covering movement accounted for the
sharp rally in the first hour and there
were some recoveries at the close. Other
wise there was nothing to relieve the un-
varied depression which prevailed through
the whole list of stocks and bonds. The
closely held standard stocks suffered with
the purely speculative issues and in some
cases more severely. Lake Shore is an
example. 1t sold at 1S5, decline of 3
points and closed with the bidding at only
$50. Pennsylvania dropped full points.
st. Paul suffered very acutely, probably
on the uncovering of margins on recent
speculative buying and was off at one
time 4ss per cent. Northwest dropped AZ
and Burlington points. The local trac-
tion stocks were equally weak. Tho
number of prominent stocks which show
net losses of between 2 and points is
very large. The total sales were 323,200
shares.
