BULLS ACTIVE IN
 STOCK MARKET Their Efforts to Advance Prices Met With Success. GENERAL LIST NEGLECTED The Tone of the Market at the Close Was Rather Easy and Dull at
 Concessions from
 the Best
GENERAL LIST NEGLECTED

New York July 1.-The stock market gave evidence today of operations by an influential bull party. Their efforts to ad- vance prices met with considerable success and were assisted by sharp upward movement in a number of individual stocks in which an outstanding short interest was driven to cover. Business continued in a large part in professional hands The gen. eral list was rather neglected and it's price movements were unimportant but net gains were generally registered at the close of the day. The manipuative character of the market was evident from the circula- ton from time to time of some rather ex travgant rumors. But the resulting gains were pretty we'll held and the pressure of proft-takng at the advance was not suf- ficient to cause any very notable set back. The tone of the market at the close was rather easy and dull at concessions from the best. This was due rather to pause in the bull manipulation than to any large selling. Union Pacific was the most conspicuous stock in the list and resumed its upward movement early in< the day. Higher quotations from London helped the advance, the news of the fall of Tien Tsin encourag ging sentiment, A period of dull ness and relapse followed the higher open ing, which was apparently due to the check to the upward tendency in Baltimore and Ohio.
 Some doubts were cast yesterday s confident predictions of early dividend ac- tion cn this stock. Tine market maintain ed an attitude of indifference for some time to the rapid advance scored, first by Brooklyn Transit and later by Sugar, the first railing 31a from early depression and the others rising nearly points,
 The bond market was dull today and the movement of prices continues irregular. Total sales, par value $S85,00 United States old As and 5s advanced A in the bid price.

August, after opening at 9.3S, 8 higher than last night, sold off to 9.00 October, from S.13 to 7S5; but by noon the cloud with the silver lin- ing made it's appearance in the makeup of a weekly bureau crop report, the de- tailed account of which was not so prom ising as shorts counted on, or the summary of itself indicated, the general tenor of the report being that while the weather was favorable the plant nevertheless is small and making but slow grotwh, the result no doubt of late planting Another thing that helped values in the afternoon was the news of the Associated Press to the effect that the allied forces had taken the forts of Tien Tsin, which, II confirmed, will probably help to restore confidence ma terially.

4s Cent Wheat and 35 Cent Eggs.

Hood River, Ore, Dec. 10, l900-Ed-
itor Glacier: In reply to your query as to
what can be realized by feeding 43 cent
wheat to 144 egg capacity hen, eggs
selling at 35 cents a dozen, will say No
two men, or women either for that mat
ter, can or will bring the same result from
the same hen with the came feed. No
hen fed on wheat alone will lay IA eggs
in year. The best that we can do then,
is to make an average estimate of what
can be done under the circumstances
mentioned
The experiment station located
at Amherst, Mass, in 1898 and '99 made
experiments with 10 Plymouth Rock
pullets to see which was the better
principal food, wheat or corn. We will
see what can be learned from this exper-
iment that will help us. Their winter
experiment with wheat realized 500 eggs
in months, average, eggs per hen per
month; with corn, 1911, or liz plus
eggs per hen per month. Summer ex-
pertinent, 859 eggs or 5 minus per hen
per month with wheat and 1895 or 11H
plus per hen per month. Wheat was
fed in the proportion Of half Of the feed
which would give the wheat credit for
4 eggs per month at 35 cents per dozen,
ll25 cents. Wheat fed was Glib plus per
hen per month, which at 43 cents per
bushel made the cost $40 cents or 7k
plus cents profit on the wheat per month,
amounting to 73 plus cents at the time
the wheat would have been used. Not
a bad showing for Plymouth Rocks and
had the experiment been conducted
with Brown Leghorns instead, the diff
ference would doubtless have been great
er still. The most surprising feature Of
the experiment, however, is the wonder
full egg production OF the corn as COM
pared with wheat, little over rs per
cent in favor of the former, whereas, all
tradition and chemical analyses of the
two grains have been in favor of wheat
for eggs. d. N. BYERLEE.

Dangerous Roads.

Hood River, Dec. 20, l9O0.-Editor
Glacier: Allow me to write few lines
to show what an unsafe and dangerous
condition the county road is in in the
east end of the Viento district. There
are three narrow places within half a
liable to let a team roll down an en-
bankment ONE hundred feet. Rocks and
dirt have slid into the road in places so
one can hardly pass with an empty rig.
l have been trying for the past three
months to have the road supervisor and
commissioners put the road in passable
shape, but nothing has been done, and
will say it is disgrace and a crime for
those in authority not to have some
thing done. 1t looks as ii they were
more interested in favoring lumber and
railroad companies than in serving the
