The record of the stock market yester-
day canno; be said TO have been an in
spring one. The early transactions gave
promise Of a recovery which was not sus-
tanned in the afternoon, however The
only hopeful feature of the situation was
better feeling regarding money and a
disappearance of the abnormal rates OF
last week entirely. Call loans could be
had at times during the day at per cent,
ana there was no time when the legal rate
was exceeded. This is the best showing
Tor several days and it means, II any
dependence can he placed on IL, that the
banks have got over their fright some

money will be allowed TO get out for call
iosns at reasonable rates hereafter There
Is as much sentiment In the rate for
money as there Is in the prices OF securi-
Ties on the stock exchange. and last week
the sentiment was pessimistic Yester-
day IL was optimistic. II is somewhat
difficult TO account for the sagging price
on stocks yesterday afternoon in the face
OF cheaper money. The cause of the dis
ease has disappeared but the after effects
still show themselves. The course of

of woman whom he said was "utterly de

tality toward defenceless prisoner. or thus
to insult helpless convict.
The brutality of Judges in the exercise o.
their high duties deserves public condemna
ton, The facts of the New York case may

no such general charge as the Judge makes
In this instance Is warranted.
II Judge takes advantage of his position

The period Of Matching requires little more

The larger cornstalk borer is large white

Ing older stalks on that 1t Is readily blown
in corn fields that one stalk Of corn may be

"This insect Is quite well distributed over
the southern States and frequently becomes

numbers. Aside from corn II also attacks
sugar game. sorghum, and gama grass or

'The adult insect is moth which deposits.

after the crop is gathered
"Our method OF pulling the fodder and
leaving the stalks on the ground, or even cut
