A Harbinger of Spring
ceraniuIll vaIIev.

Yesterday as the Senior was walking
over his patch of ground in The Valley
he unexpectedly came upon Potato
bug. His left hind foot uplifted, his
right ear close to the ground, with
crossed eyes he was intently watching
a clod of earth. The Senior gently
turning it was amazed to see underneath
the tip of a volunteer potato vine just
emerging from the ground.
Last year the Senior, discussing the
Potato bug, with Mr.. Bill Lamb, recon-
mended Paris green, and explained at
some length the proper proportions of
Flour to be mixed with the poison.
Il will be ding'd if they git any Flour
at my house." said Mr.. Bill; Il jess
knocks 'um off as l comes to 'um." but
don't they come back" anxiously i'm
quired the Senior. Certain they does"
said Mr.. Bill, but l knocks 'um off
agin, all the time they amt err crawlin'
back I'm er knockin' 'um off. Dam 'um,
l keeps 'um bizzy."
An elder in the Presbyterian church
has asked us to write no more Sunday

Some or the weak stocks advanced from to points. This strength continued until the close and prices left off at about the highest of the day with money on call offered at , per cent as against per cent. at the opening
 There was heavy trading in Brooklyn throughout the day but with this excep- ton the trade was light. Sales of stocks 71O,000 shares. London markets have ruled heavy all day, but there was but little at tenton paid to that market. and with the present low rate of money we cannot LOOK for any lower prices at the present and believe all good stocks should be bought on any reaction, especially Southern preferred and American Steel and Wire.

Primary receipts 1.244 GOO. Duluth wires that farmers are inclined to let go of their flax seed but are holding wheat Clearances were heavy, 736 ,O00 and promises to make another goo1 showing this week: 35 loads reported worked for export More activity and sharp fluctuations prevailed today than has been witnessed for a long period There was a sharp advance in all the futures due to the suspension of a large concern who have been quite prominent on the short side All trades for their account were closed out and was the main cause of the furry While values closed lower, 1t was not weak. Commission houses we;e buyers and some buying for foreign &C., count Looks as if there were powerful interests under the market on the long side Under them we are inclined to look for more activity and eventually higher prices.
 Corn: 'Clearances were in excess of 600000 bushels; possibly twenty loads If not more worked. There was no charter of any kind today. The market was affected by the suspension of the house mentioned, and the market closed stead On strong spots we favor sales There is a big demand for oats which has a strengthening effect on values We think they will move inde- pendently of corn.
 Provisions: Liverpool came higher on lard hams and bacon. Hogs were steady. Shipments of lard, 9O,000 pounds; meats, 1.495 O00 The market was affected slightly by the same cause noticed in grain, but tho closing was strong.

 New York, September 21.-Port receipts today were 21000, against 2o,0OO last week, and 30 900 last year. Outside of Liverpool not being up to expectations, there was no essential news. Market opened lower, but buying orders were sufficient to take all offerings. We think market liable to halt around present figures, and would advise taking profits and await reaction to buy Market seems broadening out, with ten dency to buy, apparently owing to commis- sion houses issuing yesterday advces of bullish nature.
 Some of the leading firms were prominent on both sides of the market. Liverpool. as a rule, don't regard war with Transvaal as an obstacle to higher market The market attracted much attention all day. There were frequent periods of hesitation, but liberal buying was the rule, and it is un- derstood that southern mills took large lots The feeling was mixed on the late market The absence of much short in- terest appeared to be the cause of much anxiety Some little manipulation Is sus- pected. and the permanency of the rise is questioned. Some regard boom just now as premature. New York rose 3-16 for spots, and several southern markets were higher Futures here closed at an ad- vance of to points.

 The markets here still hesitating today waiting for the Orange Free State decision and tomorrows cabinet council. They were idle and dull but eonsols were steady. Americans were neglected the dealers playing. with them. They were steady, however. with a firm close on New York purchases of Louisville and Nashville, Northern Pacific, Central Pacific and Southern Pacific One hundred thousand pounds of gold was taken for South America and 10000 pounds of French coin was bought. It is understood that 6OO,OOO pounds has been engaged for the Cape and also 900 was bought in the open mar ket last night for the United States to help the market there. Money was more lendable. The bank did nothing. avoiding paper for a longer period than sixty days. Silver was flat, America selling, closing weak. The Bank of Bengal has raised its discount rate from to per cent.
