weekly crop summary reporting that
the seeding was not progressing with

tain his views, or were, perhaps. the
results OF the exposition of those views.
| The conflict of opinion brought no
| definite conclusion either way, the
/ whole speculative situation remaining
| unsettled. Prices In the general list
| started upward, encouraged by higher
| prices from London and under impulse
| of antagonism to the bear campaign,
| which is alleged to be at the bottom Of
| the selling of iron and steel stocks.
| Spectators, however, lost confidence in
| their w views as the insincerity of
| the unfayorable opinions expressed
| over the iron trade outlook when those
| same iron and steel stocks again man
ifesting acute depression. American
| Steel & Wire sold a point below last
night. 1t did not get back above last
nights price in the subsequent trad
ing and closed 3H off. The net loss
of the preferred was four points. The
other iron and steel stocks were not so
weak. There seemed a sort of specula-
tive duel waging in steel and wire and
Federal Steel, the latter stock crossing
the former and closing nearly a point
higher and at a net loss of only II.
When the renewed weakness of steel
and wire was perceived the opening
advances in the general list began to
be conceded. In one or two of the rail-
road stocks advances had reached yer
a point, but they were very generally
wiped out. The market was extreme
ly irregular for the rest of the day.
New York fractions and some of the
other specialties showed acute weak
ness. There was a period of strength
later in Sugar, General Electric and
some of the railroad stocks, but these
manoeuvres failed to attract any fol-
lowing or to dissipate the feeling of I'M
certainty. Net changes are mostly
small and the closing was heavy and
sluggish. The money market contin-
ued to work easier, call loans dropping
to 2h per cent in the late dealings.
The sub-treasury is disbursing large
sums to the market and New York ex-
change at Chicago rose to 10c discount
to-day compared with 40c discount on
Monday, indicating a relaxation of in
terror demand for currency or perhaps
a cessation of the selling of stocks for
Chicago account. Sterling exchange
continues to harden and large loans
are made on sterling collateral. This
means that London is taking advant-
age of the lower interest rates here to
borrow money in this market.
The bond market was rather quiet
and irregular. Total sales par value
$3.50, 600. United States new is ad-
vanced II in the bid price.

is sometimes found too light to do it's

Throw it over and fasten in precisely

manner as the first. This method Of
binding. il the chains are tight enough,
will hold load of logs securely over

Il the chains are too loose, the smaller
ends of the twisters will begin to play

the twisters must be inserted and Sc
