XaIne of Garden.

The market garden business is very
good business usually when one makes
it his entire business. Yet there are al
ways failures and disappointments in
it. Some crops fa:l TO grow well, and
others yield abundantly and cannot be
sold at a satisfactory price. But the
family garden, little larger thar need
ed for the home supply, well MANFRED
and well cared for, is never disap-
pointment. If some crop is partial fail
ure it may not have any surplus over
the home demand, but there will be
something else to substitute for it, If
another Is over abundant and low
priced r can be used freely, and will
taste just as good as if the price were
twice as high. If there is market for
the surplus and it is sold. it seems al
most like finding money, and if it can
not be sold there are some who find
much pleasure in supplying the wants
of poorer neighbors who cannot afford
to pay the price asked by retail deal
ers. Plan each year TO have good
garden. and trust TO luck only for the
market-American Cultivator.

discovered the awful mistake that was
being made and they ceased firing, but
the English and Russians kept it up I'M

in the face of deadly fire and stopped

New York --Midsumme dullness Ia
noted in all different markets. General
trade always slows up somewhat at this
time Of the year, and the Stock Exchange
situation is simply a reelection of this
state of comparative inactivity. No inn
portant change in conditions is likely be-
fore the middle Of next month, when mer-
chants will begin to make preparations
for the early fall season. There is more
confident sentiment in commercial cir
Giles. This is not due from the growing
belief that prices have last reached
bedrock, which has resu ted in better
inquiry FOR goods. The situation in re-
spect to crops is also hopeful. tor this
reason merchants are all looking forward
TO a satisfactory fall trade. Dizziness has
been the only feature of the stock mar
ket. The volume Of business has been
too light throughout the week to give
prices any decided tendency in either d.
rection.
Chicago.-T'hc price of wheat tended
moderately upwa. | during the week, and
showed a slight i, provement at the close
OF Saturdays S son as compared with
its value at the end OF the week previous.
The frmness thus indicated was chiefly
tue to heavy rains and comparatively cold
weather in Europe Just as harvest was
well under way, and resulted In the re-
ceipt of heavy buying orders from the
importing countries. No new light has
been thrown upon the vexed question Of
the actual total of this seasons domestic
wheat production in the crop report OF
the national agricultural bureau. 1t did
not include any reference to the extent OF
the reported damage to winter wheat, but
as far as 1t went confirmed the report of
the previous month as to the seriousness
OF the loss to spring wheat by the long
drought that prevailed in the Dakotas
and Minnesota. The size and excellence
of the Kansas wheat crop is attested by
the heavy volume Of the deliveries and
the eager competition for their possession
between the home and foreign millers.
Kansas is The main present source Of
supply, and for month to come, at
least, should be able to bold in check the
bullishness arising from crop failures In
other parts of the country. unless fur
Their damage should oyertake the crops OF
the United Kingdom and Europe. Heat
and dry weather have reduced by two
points since July ! the promise of the
corn crop, and a further continuation Of
such weather threatens additional de-
terioration.
