-,I,ude about the middle OF
June, and reaches its stage of greatest de-
struction about fifteen days later, when
the worms have reached their full size
and are roraciously eating preparatory to
passing into the chrysalis.
Superintendent Lanham has learned
after long experience in fighting the cater
pillar that the most effective way to rid
the trees Of their destructive pest is to
sever the limbs on which the insects have
made their nests and cart them of to the
public dumps and burn them. This eff
fectuaily disposes OF the worms, not leav-
ing one alive to become a perfected insect.
1t is necessary TO keep up the fight about
elk weeks before the pest vanishes from
the trees. II the first attack upon the
caterpfllars is not vigorous one, the sec
ond crop of worms in the fall would about
destroy the foliage and supply a large
number Of them to stock the trees again
IN the spring. By trimming them out of
the trees in June and July and not al
lowing them to get start then. they are
kept in control and do little damage.

and placed on cart. In which they are
removed to the dump.
Mr.. Lanham reported to the Commits
sioners about the middle of June that there
was every indication OF the insects coming
out in large numbers, and acting promptly
on the experience OF former years the
board appropriated $500 from funds in
their hands to carry on the work during
the remaining days of June. On July l

gress to the Parking Commission. became
available and the fighting OF the cater
pillars has been carried on vigorously
since that time, use being made Of the
regular appropriation.

NEW YORK. June 6.-The Stock Market
opened active and lower in virtually every
quarter.
Sugar Refining and Brooklyn Rapid
Transit, which were both fairly steady,
we're exceptions TO the common tendency.
The course of prices in the local market
was to a great extinct due TO the pro-
nounced weakness in the London market,
where consols showed a decline of three
quarters of point, while losses averaging
about half a point appeared throughout
the American quarter. Apprehensrons as
to the issue of the critical situation in
China were cited as the main cause OF
the uneasiness in London.
The losses in the railway list averaged
nearly half point in the early dealing.
The industrial quarter, aside from Sugar
Refining. was again comparatively dull
and rather limited price changes appeared
there.
Among the specialties there was a no.
tably sharp advance in New York Air
Brake.
Very little was done in the local traction
group apart from Brooklyn Rapid Transit
There were few developments in the 10
cal situation over night with any bearing
upon the market, and It's general ten
dency reflected for the most part a con-
tinuation of the same technical conditions
that have governed the trading through
out the week.

1t is pointed out by an authority that
the AtchisOn Company besides earning 3
per cent on its preferred stock and IL
per cent on the common this year, has
paid several millions out for improve

charged to capital account. There has
beer the suggestion in some quarters

ten we've too small. and that il was keep
ing up to a high standard, physically, but
this is far from the truth. During the
four and half years since the reOrgsniZa-
tion of the company il has expended $685.
0fA 900 for improvements and only a lit
tie more than IS. 0O0. 900 of this has been
charged to capital account. Atchison pre-
