FRIDAY. May 5.
The stock market to-day was dull and de-
pressed. While the dealings were widely dis
tributed. the total sales were smaller than for
some time. There was considerable lioulda-
tion. an outgrowth Of the inactivity OF finan-
cters who had hitherto been conspicuous in
encouraging transactions and in enhancing
values. One explanation Of their seeming
neglect OF the Issues with which they are iden-
titled was that they were awaiting the compile
tion OF important deals which are now under
way. There was no raiding OF stocks. but AZ
there was little or no support for them they
saeged weartly'under a monotonous outflow Of
long holdings. There were. as might have
been expected. reports that insiders" In
various properties were selling out. but those
reports were without foundation. Tho olr-
cumstanoes were not such as they would have
chosen for the purpose. TIL most that could
be said was that the insiders" we're doing
nothing.
General conditions were little changed.
Sterling exchange was perhaps a shade flrmer.
Gable transfers were slightly higher. but de-
mand and sixty-day rates were unaltered.
The exchange market was very quiet. Call
money was easier. the highest rate being AZ

was made good that the financing OF the
AmalRamated Copper Company would not be
attended by any effect on money. 1nasmuch

The town Of Portland on Lake Erie

Grape Belt, published at Dunkirk on
Lake Eric. more grapes are grown
In its northern pant than in any equal

now loaded with their luscious fruit.
Messrs. Dean have a model vineyard,
embracing 100 acres all producing
grapes. The town last year shipped

No; the model housewife of to-day

the kitchen all that is necessary is to

than exclude the sunshine and fresh
air.
The up-to-date housekeeper bears in
mind the health of her family by keep
ing her bedrooms free from the stuffy
influence brought to bear through lack
of proper ventilation. She remembers,
too, that her husband and children en-

CLIMBING ROSES.
Extensive Bloom Depet lis ON Liberal
FertiIizing and Judicious Pruning.

Extensive Bloom Depet lis ON Liberal
FertiIizing and Judicious Pruning.
In the case of climbing or running
of pillar roses the end desired is as
great an amount of bloom as the
plants are capable of bearing. Such
plants are, as a rule, strong growers,
and If the soil fertility is kept up they
are capable of producing an immense
number of good blooms. Perfection Of
form and large size of bloom is not a
direct object, as in the case of hybrid
perpetuals, hybrid teas and tea roses.
where close pruning Is resorted to TO
attain such results. Knowing the
plant to be of a vigorous variety, and
in good condition. as shown by the
growth If wood of the previous year, it
Is safe to assume that it will be able
to carry nearly as much bloom as can
set on the strong canes and shoots OF
the last years growth. 1t is always
to be understood that the soil fertility
is maintained in the highest condition
by the use Of stable manure or artific-
ial fertilizers. The essential pruning,
therefore, of cIimbiny roses, in the
condition mentioned. consists in short
ening in the long canes by removing
some Of the smaller growth at their
tips, which was made late in the sea-
son. and also shortening in the last
years growth from the older canes, al
lowing as many buds to each shoot as,
in the judgment Of the pruner, may be
well developed the coming season.
American Gardening gives the follow
ing pruning directions:
Cut away entirely all dead wood and
all old canes that are no longer SER
viCeabie. and all weak shoots.
Leave as many principal canes as
the plant appears capable of support
ing
Shorten the principal canes to
strong, sound wood
Shorten the shoots OF last years
growth to a few buds -four or six)
from which the plant will be able to
produce new shoots sufficient to cover
the whole space of the trellis, or that
occupied by the main canes.

MONEY IN TOMATOES.

It is Not Only Necessary to Raise Toma.
toes for sale, But To Sell Them.
An Eastern farmer who has been
experimenting with raising tomatoes
for profit writes that he put in four
acres in alluvial soil and raised from
them 963 bushels of tomatoes, which at
20 cents a bushel brought him S192.G0.
If be had planted the same land in
cora, he says, and raised 4S bushels
to the acre that crop at 80 cents a
bushel would have been worth SIS,
which leaves the tomato crop $144.9O
ahead. According to the price Of
corn and tomatoes in 1896" he contin-
ues, 81 raised S44 worth of tomatoes
and $2S60 worth Of corn. On this
basis would have been compelled to
cultivate 20 acres of corn to equal in
value four acres of tomatoes. When
frost came / had 300 bushels of to-
matoes nearly ripe. And this brings
me to the main point, namely, that If
tomatoes could be produced two
weeks earlier. the profit in the crop
would be nearly doubled"
The record of such experience as
this is so alluring that every one who
reads 1t is tempted to go into the to-
mato business at once. On second
thought, however. the idea presents
itself that in order to make the profit,
1t is not only necessary to raise to-
matoes for sale, but to sell them. This
we will be better able to do when we
have fewer combinations Of captains
of industry" who take possession of
our canning factories and, instead OF
extending them into new localities.
shut down many of those already in
existence in order to centralize the
whole business. When a few such
problems as these are solved the far
mer who uses his brains in diversity
ing his crops, will be one of the most
prosperous members Of the commun-
ity, and this country will be by far the
most prosperous on earth.

The PRETTY CREOLE MAIDEN,
She Is Busy All Her Days, and Her
Time Is Always Probably
Employed.

The home life of our demoiselle as she
approaches young womanhood is full
of bright and varied interest. She is
in close touch with Pere and Mere (as
the grandparents are called); she con-
fides her innocent dreams to Grande
Cousine, the wrinkled dame about
whose long-gone youth there are ro-
mantle family legends; she reads poet
ry with Mon Uncle, who has seen serv-
ice in the field; she begins to superin-
tend the piano or harp lessons of her
little sisters. She is herself initiated
into the mysteries of the sewing-room;
she learns to brew the potions neces-
sary to the sick room; she is taught the
secrets of those soups and conserves
for which the women of her house are
famous.
One night late in August there is a
family gathering. A farandole is
danced, perhaps, led by Pere himself,
who draws the long, laughing line of
children and grandchildren, aunts, un-
cles and cousins about the halls and
parlors of the old house, up and down
the stairways, in and out of the arched
corridors. At its close mademoiselle,
with eyelids reddening, says a fearful
good-by, to be whisked away by an
early morning train to the convent in
the country, where she happily passes
the last year of her school life.-M. E.

Celery that remains in drills should
