NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-Chiefy in res
ponse to higher range of prices reported
in the London stock market material ad-
vances were scored in the local dealings
at the opening of business this morning. 1t
was soon apparent, however, that the de-
mand for stocks was very small, and re-
cessions were common throughout the list.
The days business was uninfuenced by
any new developments in the situation.
The progress of hostilities in South Al
rica. as noted, was without any unfavora-
BILE effect upon the London market, and
seemed to attract no particular attention
here.
The trading was in light volume, and
almost wholly for professional account.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was the active
weak. Persistent rumors that at the ap-
preaching session of che executive meet
ing TO force the company to place its wires
under ground, accompanied the decline in
that stock. The granger shares and other
standard issues showed only slight price
changes.
The industrial quarter was generally de-
pressed, particularly regarding Sugar Re-
fining, Tennessee Coal and Iron, and
Standard Oil. Foreign houses were mac
tive in the local dealings.

The report of the Baltimore and Ohio
for the month of September is probably,
all things considered, the best monthly re-
port ever issued by that railway. Both the
gross and the net earnings for the month
eclipsed former showings for similar
length of time. The gross earnings for
the month were s2,S04, ,293, an increase
over last year of $216,5 ,597. Despite this large
increase in gross earnings. the operating
expenses were cut down slightly. so that
the net earnings increased even more than
the gross. The operating expenses for the
month were s1,773,S0O, decrease of $685.
207, and the net earnings were 81 030, ,493
gain of s271 .S04. The net earnings for the
first three months Of the fiscal year We're
$3,042, ,759, an increase of 81, ,174,66S. If the
present rate of increase is kept up during
the next three months, the company will
earn its full interest charges and rentals
by the end of the first half of the fiscal
year.

An immense amount of stock changed
hands. Around So there was good support,
and it seemed quite possible that the price
would not go much if any lower. Gossip
of various kinds regarding the stock is
floating about, but it is safe to say that
the entire recent slump has been caused
by a bear raid. The tumble from the high
est price of the year is now about SO
points. This seems quite enough to many
careful people, and it is believed by them
that good advance is likely in the stock
in the near future.

over $2,000,000 in gold has reached the

The downward course OF the stock mar
ket continued this morning for an hour or
more. Prices declined to about the level
Of the lowest yesterday in many stocks
ard in one or TWO there We're severe
breaks to the lowest prices of the week.
Before neon there was a recovery which
seemed likely TO be an excellent one be-
fore the day was over The factors that
have been controlling the market for sew
eral days still have their large influence.
There is the expectation of a better bank
statement and of easier money this week
and next. The Street is distinctly more
hopeful regarding this matter. AS yet,
however, there is little business except
among the professionals and many of these
gentlemen are bears. Yesterdays and to-
days breaks were due entirely TO raids
by the bear element The conservatives and
quiet buying Of many securities by the
pools and the insiders generally continu-
ed, but 1t was apparently not in the least
directed toward advancing the market The
bears concentrated their attack largely on
Brooklyn and one or two other securities.
There was good evidences of heavy cover
ing by this clique at times during the day
and at some time in the near future it
cannot be doubted that the immense short
interest will cause fine squirt in prices.

Oats and Peas as Cow Feed.

Mr.. H. B. Niles. of Pennington.
Mimi, who relates his experience in
this method of feeding in the North
western Farmer as follows:
1 wish to add my testimony for the
above named crop for summer feed for
the dairy or other stock. That this
crop is not generally known to be val
liable as it is, think we find proof
as we look among the dairymen who
practice summer feeding and see how
little Of it is grown. At Westwood
stock farm, after all other small grains
were sown one and three-fourths acres
of peas and oats we're sown in the usu-
al manner, the peas being plowed un-
der at the rate of one bushel per acre
and, few days after, the oats were
sown with seeder broadcast and har-
rowed in; oats sown at thesrate of two
bushels per acre. The crop was not
put in early, as there was evidence Of
good pasture for some time. but pas
lures are getting so they deceive us
and Just when we want them most they

fail, and 1t was so this season in this
locality. July the peas were just be-
ginning to pod and the oats to head
out On that day l cut the first feed,
and 1 give you some figures just for
what they are worth and not as proof
positive of anything. We continued to
feed from this plat once day for twen-
ty days, all they would eat, to the fol-
lowing stock: Fifty-four cows and
heifers, not all in milk; these were
led the whole twenty days. The first
eight days twenty calves and three
aged bulls were fed about what they
would clean up at feed. AS the milk
from the herd is weighed at each milk
ing, / give you the figures for the last
seven days before feeding the peas and
oats, 5000 lbs. The first seven days
of July the milk weighed 5,232 lbs. and
the next seven days 5,097 lbs. This
brought us up to July Is, when the
peas and oats began to show the effecti
of the continued dry, hot weather, but
the COWS ate them clean until the last.
July 81 we began feeding drilled corn
on which the ears were we'll set but not
much corn on them. Fed all the cows
would eat up once day for seven days
when the milk record showed 4,459 lbs,
an average of 63S lbs. per day, against
an average for fourteen days on peas
and oats of 1877 lbs. and to help out
my hobby little more, will state that
on the 22d Of July, the second day we
fed corn. one heifer's milk was added
to the mess, averaging IS lbs per day
After this date we began feeding twice
a day of the corn, and with the help OF
two more of those special purpose heif-
ers, brought the mess up to 700 lbs.
per day. This is not all: it took less
rods of land to feed of the peas and
oats than of the corn, which was
good growth.

Latent Fertility In the Soil.

There is no more important question
before the farmers of the country to-
day than that of maintaining and keep
ing I'D the fertility of the SOIL says
Mirror and Farmer. The success of
all farming operations depends upon
it. Whether the farmers speciality is
live stock, dairying or grain growing,
he cannot make success Of any one
unless he gives special attention TO
maintaining the fertility of his land
and making it as productive as posi-
BILE.
In the December number of The In
dustrialist, Mr.. R. w. Clothier dis
cusses the latent fertility of the soil.
He states that farms do run out" from
long-continued usage and improper
treatment, but adds that in the major
ity of cases very small per cent of
their natural fertility has been taken
away in the form of crops. BY far the
greater portion has been wasted by i'm
proper methods of cultivation. To
quote:
"a very small per cent of the total
weight of plants is furnished by the
minerals of the soil; and of this small
per cent the following elements are
necessary to plant growth: Iron. sui
phur, nitrogen. phosphorus. potassium,
calcium, sodium, silicon, oxygen and
chlorin. OF these. all but potassium.
phosphorus and nitrogen are present in

oath which he had taken. IT have
DONE" said Philip, mournfully.
"Tis strange story, Philip" replied
Anime; land now hear me-but give
me first that relic-I wish to look upon
it. And can there be such virtue-I
had nigh said, such mischief-in this
little thing? Strange; forgive me,
Phillp-but I've still my doubts upon
this tale of Eblis. I do not say that
it cannot be true; but still, one so I'M
settled as I am may be allowed to
waver. But, Philip, I'll assume that all
is true. Then, if it be true
without the oath you would
but be doing your duty; and think not
so meanly OF Anime as to suppose she
would restrain you from what is right.
No, Philip, seek your father, and, If
you can, and he requires your aid, then
save him. But, Philip, do you mag
inc that task like this, so high, is
to be accomplished at one trial? OH
no; If you have been so chosen to fulfill
it, you will be preserved through diff
uCulIy anu udHSeT uuIll you nave
worked out your end. You will be
preserved, and you will again and
again return-be omforted-consoled
be cherished-and be loved by Am
inc as your wife. And when it pleases
him to call you from this world, your
memory, if she survive you, Philip,
will equally be cherished in her bosom.
Philip, you have given me to decide
dearest Philip, l am thine"
Anime extended her arms, and Phil
ip pressed her to his bosom. That
evening Philip demanded his daughter
of her father, and Mynheer Poots, as
soon as Philip opened the iron safe
and displayed the guilders, gave his
immediate consent.
Father Seysen called the next day,
and received his answer; and three
days afterward the bells of the little
church Of Terneuse were ringing a
merry peal for the union of Anime
Poots and Philip Vanderdecken.
