regularity growing out of the unseason-
able weather conditions, heavy price
changes in leading staples or increased
conservatism in some traders as the
election approaches, the general busi-
ness situation as a whole is encOurag.
ing, and new elements or manifesto.
lions OF strength appear from time to
time. Perhaps the most notable fea'
ture Of the week is found in the indus.
trail situation, which has been dis
tinctlv improved by the apparently Off
cial and final action taken toward
ending the anthracite coal strike. In
view of the fact that most miners have
obtained increased wages, the effect on
business in the producing regions can
hardly be otherwise than beneficial.
while the trade at large must reap
benefits from the return to normal con.
ditions.
The situation in cereals shows little
change. A feature OF the movement OF
product to market at the present time
not heretofore noted this year, is the
growing scarcity of cars rel o"ted west
of the Mississippi. Sugar is lower than
anticipated, and coffee is of on con-
tinued large receipts.
The strength of demand for finished
products of iron and steel, noted for
some time past, finds reflection in an
improved inquiry for the cruder forms
at leading iron centers this week.

Sowing La wne.

Sowing La WINS.
In seeding down lawn In the fall
winter wheat may be sown with the
grass seed, and it will not only prevent
the soil from washing. but give the
ground a beautiful fresh green sward
early in the spring, which may be kept
clipped, but will remain until the grass
is we'll grown among it. The wheat will
keep down the weeds, and the change
from the green Of the wheat to that Of
the grass will be so gradual as to be
scarcely noticeable. The sward will be
firm and even If the work is vel done,
without holes or gullies. Ii the lawn Ia
not made until spring oats or spdng rye
may do as well. though we prefer the

DllSter beetles were PALE FLEA BEETLE.
provided with another source of food
very much to their taste and one which
they seem to prefer to most others. AS
rule, the blister beetles appear dur
ing the latter half of July and become
numerous during August and Septem-
Der, devouring the leaves and doing
great damage. When the danger OF
real injury becomes apparent. there is
usually little difficulty in Kidding the
plants by a spray of paris green and
lime, applied at the rate of one pound
of the poison to 175 gallons Of water.
Often the beetles will keep coming in
from the outside, and when the first
spray has lost its effect from rain or
other cause It may be necessary to re-
peat the treatment

The Japanese legation received dis.
patch today announcing the death OF
Wang Wen Shao, imp-, ial treasurer OF
China, in addition to those high Off

flight from Pekin, he insisted upon fol.

His death came from natural causes,
probably from old age and the fatigues
