NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-The stock market
transactions were commonly effective at
sharp declines from Saturdays closing fig
ures. The initial losses were most severe
in the instances of Consolidated Gas, Met
ropolitan Street Railway, and Tennessee
Coal and Iron. The opening losses in the
railway list were generally under i per
cent and this quarter of the market showed
a remarkably firm undertone and after the
initial dealings the early losses were OBJ
liberated in a general recovery. The re-
mainder OF the market also developed
greater strength following upon the open
ing dealings. There was little actual change
in the situation over Sunday. The news
from South Africa was naturally unsettling
in London where general declines in prices
were reported. consols breaking to within
a fraction OF, par on expectations of the
early announcement Of new issue to pro-
vide for the expenses OF prosecuting hos
tilities
An influence in the steadiness of the To-
cal market was the expectation that eaily
action would be announced by the United
States Treasury in respect TO another bond
call. which action IL was believed would
not only relieve the local monetary situa-
ton. but also that in London. The deal
ings. as was expected showed good deal
of feverishness and irregularity. A no.
tably weak feature of the first hour was
Manhattan Railway, which broke very
sharply, and the decline in that instance
had the effect of checking the improving
tendency in the remainder Of the market.
London houses sold freely in this market
There was rush to sell Sugar at the
start. and the price fell 1 IL per cent.
Then there was rally of per cent, fol-
lowed by another decline. Tobacco. Man
haitian, Brooklyn, Metropolitan, Federal
Steel opened off at 2 per cent When the
announcement was made of the failure OF
the Produce Exchange Trust Company the
market weakened more.

The people that wait for pienics TO buy
stocks were present in goodly numbers in
the Street this morning and as usual they
will profit by the misfortunes of others.
The declines have been so continuous for
the past Two weeks and the market today
was apparently SO entirely without support
that the people with the strong
est faith in the ultimate tri-
umph OF intrinsic values were
afraid To say that even today's prices would
be the lowest, but it cannot be doubted
that stocks are now selling far below their
real worth. The turn. when it comes. will
be magnificent one for those with strong
accounts that have been free to buy at the
low prices.

CHICoRY GROWING IN MAINE.
(From the New England Homestead }

Expsrimsnts oArrisd on the past SEA-
son by Heinrich Franck, Son s. Co., OF
Flushing, N. Y, and the owners Of 16
factories In Germany. Austria. Italy and
Switzerland, to grow chicory in the
towns Of Corinna, Newport. Corinth and
Knduskssg. Me-, have proved fairly sue
oessful. wherever farmers paid the neces-
kary attention to the directions for grow
ing this cror. 1t appears, however, that
in quite a good many oases the printed
instructions Of the factory, although sup
plementsd by personal visits to every one
Of the growers, were not followed. and
that consequently results varied greatly.
Eight tons per acre Is the average yield,
although with some care in cultivation
10 and Il tons are said to be easily
raised.
Chicory grows very much the same as
q parsnip, aud being a long tap root crop,
requires a very deep and loose subsoil Of
not less than Is to IS inches A rich,
sandy loam is said to be the best adapted
for this crop. 1t cannot prottaply be
grown in clsyey soil. 1t appears that one
OF the first conditions for successfully
raising this crop 10 to prepare the soil In
tended for raising chicory In the fall.
without faail. All dressing. which pref
erably ought to consist of wsll-decayrd
stable manure, is to be put on as soon as
possible after a harvesting, and the soil
must be plowed to q depth Of at least 10
or lS inches before the frost sets In. So
much Importance is attached by the fac
tory to this fall plowiDg and preparing OF
the ground. that 1t Is said no contracts
will be entered into except for ground so
prepared. The reason for this is stated to
be that II the furrows are allowed to
stand upon edge through the winter, ths
frost Will kill the weeds and break the
clods. Considering that the greatest
difficulty encountered In raising this crop
30 far appears to be to keep the weeds
down, the plants when FIRST appearing be
ing very small, this fall preparation GER
tainly means a saving In after oultiva-
tion. The chioory Eeed Is extremely small
and onsequently will do best in perfect
ly mellow ground, which also can te
furthered by fall preparation. The price
paid this season was 90 per ton In green
state to cars at stations. The farmers
think well of the crop, but the season be-
ing dry, the yield YVES smaller than form
er years. 1t ran as high as So tons per
acre at Corinna.
