SPECULATION NARROW.
Fluctuations In Stocks Due to Pro-
fessiOnaI Trading.

NEW YORK, Dec: s-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say:
The speculation has narrowed percep-
tibly this week, and the fluctuations in the
stock list were again, to a very large eX-
tent, due to professional trading. The
disposition Of the public as the end of
the year approaches seems to be to re-
duce its outstanding speculative con-
tracts and to walt until the January dis
bursements are completed and the money
market, as it is hoped will do, has re-
turned to normal condition. The fact
that supplies of funds in the call loan
market were apparently smaller this
week, and that the bulk OF the borrowing
was at per cent or better, tended to
support this view and to render the street
at large cautious, if not bearish.
The fact that no important return flow
of money from the interior can be de-
tected, but that, on the contrary, the
South and other sections continue to
draw funds from New York, and that the
sales of government bonds to the treas
ury under the extension of Secretary
Cages offer are now practically sus-
pended, are not without their effect on
sentiment. Moreover, it is appreciated in
banking circles and by large speculative
interests that the critical point in the
foreign financial situation is approaching

COLD STORAGE PAYS.
In Present Conditions City Merchants
Reap II BiS Profit Which Fruit
Growers should Save.

The fruit farm is the proper place for
the cold storage of fruit. This is ac
knowledged now by the best authori-
ties on cold storage. The reason for
this is that the fruit must of necessity
be injured and wasted in handling be-
fore it reaches the cold storage in the
cities. In order to keep fruits for a
long time in cold storage they must be
raised and packed especially for this.
Dealers who receive a surplus of fruit
in hot weather send part of it ia cold
storage for a few days to prevent its
rotting on their hands, but this is very
different from the cold storage of fruits
for a long period until all of the other
fruit is off the market. Thus grapes,
pears, apples and similar fruits are
put away in cold storage until long
past middle winter. Then they are
brought out and sold for fancy prices.
The loss which the dealers suffer in
handling this fruit is due to the de-
teriora ton of the fruits while in transit
to the city. In the great lake grape dis
tricts in western New York the grow
ers have their own cold storage, and
they have found that the grapes picked
from the vines and carried direct to the
cold storage house keep much better
and longer than any put in cold storage
in the cities. These grapes can be mar
keted in the middle of winter without
much loss from waste.
The possibilities of cold storage on
the farm will be appreciated by an
other generation, and every large fruit
farm will have it's cold storage house.
The ordinary ice house is used on some
farms where ice can be easily obtained
in the winter season. But the farmer
situated inland from any body of fresh
water is not rendered helpless. The
ammonia and dry air process of freez-
ing and making cold storage is ever
cheaper than using ice. 1t costs more
at the beginning to start an ammonia
cold-storage plant, but after it has
once been erected the cost of main-
tanning it is cheaper than using ice.
The dry cold air that comes from one
of these cold-storage plants is better
for the fruits than the damp air that
prevails in an icehouse. The construc-
ton of such cold-storage house by
number of farmers in one locality
would prove feasible plan, and in the
end the cooperative work would pay.
The lack of cold-storage facilities has
caused thousands of dollars worth of
loss on nearly every fruit farm of any
size in the country. Not only would
such storage place be of inestimable
value in keeping the fruits few weeks
to take advantage of the markets, but
it would serve as place to keep GER
tain fruits for out of season markets
when prices always rule high. At pres
ent the merchants in the cities reap all
this profits. w. Chambers, in Ameri-
can Cultivator.

CHAPTER XVII.
THE PASSAGE OF THE BAY.

Now for some time after this no sound
came from within, and l stood by the helm
anxiousiy keeping one eye on the fog and the
other on the cabin. As there was now no
knowing whether we were drifting by the
bow, stern, or broadside, sent Ames for
ward to hold lookout at that end of the
vessel, standing guard on the quarterback
myself, that / might control any possible
outbreak from below.
Still on the cabin house sat the young
lady, apparently unmoved by what had oc-
Cured, and certainly unmoving, as her form,
which was just to be made out from my
post, was as quiet as the schooner's figure
head. Once had gone close to her to mark
her state somewhat marveling at her self
controQ, and found her pillowed against the
great main boom with its furled sail. She
had greeted me with touch of her hand,
the first she had ever vouchsafed me, while
the quick turn of her eyes and the CLEAN of
her teeth (which was all l could see of her
facet showed me that she was alert and still
seIf-contained. But not whisper of ques-
ton did she bother me with, though for that
matter she had spoken not word since
leaving Turtle bay. had mighty respect
for her if only for her knowledge of how and
when to keep from obtrudiug her helpless
ness, and would have lifted to my lips her
smooth finger tips, only dared not. Even
had she not resented the act, it might be but
for the reason that through gratitude she
would save my feelings, and the thought
was not comforting.

HORTICULTURAL TWIGS

Fruit production is "a heavy draft on
the vitality of the plant unless the plant
be strong and well matured.
Arrange good drainage in the or
chard. Water standing in the orchard
Injuries many trce.. Drain so as to
avoid washing.
Manuring may be overdonc with
young and growing trees, but after the
tree comes into bearing it requires
much rich food.
With large number of diseases OF
fruits and trees preventive measures
are much the more effective. 1t is hard
to cure a sick tree.
No plant nor tree is fit for setting out
unless it has made normal, healthy
growth in the seed bed or nursery.
Neither extreme is desirable.
1t is claimed that grapes on clayey
soil are darker and more glossy than
those on a gravely soil, but those grown
on gravely soil are the sweetest.
Apple and pear trees are all right
for planting when two or three years
old from the root graft. With these
especially the planting of old trees is
rarely advisable.
Generally slow growing grape vines
like the Delaware should not be cut
back. 1t will suffice to rub off some
of the buds, when just starting. But
vigorous growers should have the end
of the runners pinchsd off.-St. Loul

sUNKHAZER FLIES OF MAINE.
Worse Than Jersey Mosquitoes and
kissing bugs Have NO Chance
with Them.

Since reading in the newspapers of the
kissing bug and his doings all the people in
rural Maine have taken to capturing bugs
and insectso of all sorts and bringing the speci-
mems to town for examination by newspa-
per men and naturaliSts. Countless are the
kinds of bugs that have been taken to
Bangor in bottles, boxes and preserve jars,
and the captors all seem to be sorely dis.
appointed when told that instead of the gen.
uine kisser they have moth killer, lace.
winged fly, or something quite common and
harmless.
A man came from Veazie to Bangor the
other day with a ferocious- looking bug
,orked up in preserve jar and claimed the
bug in that part of the country. 1t was not
the famous kissing bug that he had, but ma.
tive bug somewhat resembling small lob.
ster Sith wings.
81 don't care a hang" declared the Veaze
man, when told that he must try again.
"rhese fellers kin lick the stuffin' out of
Sunkhazers, and that's what none of your
common bugs kin do"
Not many people living far away from
Bangor know what "Sunkhazer' is like.
1t is a ferocous big fly that infests the flats
and meadows about Sunkhaze deadwater,
place in the Penobscot river where the
water is slack, and where millions, of logs
are RATED. The Sunkhazers are the pest
their hearts content, and nothing can drive
them away. They are four times the size of
the famed mosquitoes of Jersey, and any
Maine man will back one of them against a
dozen kissing bugs in fair stand-up fight.
Maine folks have, probably, no kissing bugs,
but so long as the Sunkhazers survive they
will not feel lonesome.-N. Y. Sun.
