PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, February 6.-The in
creased movement in the northwest
and the absence Of shipping demand
were the ruling factors in a weak wheat
market to-day, May closing %@kc I'M
der yesterday. Corn closed a shade
down and oats unchanged. Provisions
at the close were 5@121sc improved
from yesterdays final figures.
Weak cables and heavy northwest
receipts were influences in a decline in
wheat at the opening, initial figures
for May being 1sc under yesterday
close at 67A@Bc. The strength OF
corn, the report that the India wheat
area was 35 per cent less than last
years and larger decrease in the
worlds visible than had been expected
gradually worked the price Of May
from 67Ac to which it had sold of
early, up to 675se. There was no de-
mand, shorts having covered and the
market broke. May declining sharply
to 671sc closing 3s@1sc under yesterday
at 67Ac. New York reported twelve
loads taken for export seaboard clear
ances in wheat and -four were equal
to $4,000 bushels. Primary receipts
were 331, 10000 bushels compared with
523, 900 bushels last year. Minneapoli.
ard Duluth reported 403 cars against
294 last week and 401 year ago. Re
ceipts here were 90 cars, none of which
graded contract.
The corn market was firm the greater
part of the day and at times, active,
helped by reports of excessively hot
weather in Argentine and higher cabl-
es, together with small country Offer
ings. In sympathy with wheat the
heavy receipts. 135 cars here also q
consideration, the market eased OF
later and closed at the bottom. May

Honey crops Tor Bees.

Honey crops for Bees.
II ID safe to say that many o. the
failures in bee culture are due TO the
care,ess manner with which the bees
are supplied with material for max
ing honey Relying too much on the
politn furnished by the blossoms OF
whatever trees. shrubs and plants
there may be in the neighborhood is
FAR from intelligent bee culture. Bees
travel several miles in search OF honey
yielding plants, hence the need Oh sucn
,lants on ones own grounds is not
apparent until the time comes when
the blooming season of most plants in
tho neishborhood is over. There are
so many trees and plants Of value in
addition to their use for bees that
there is no good excuse for being
short OF bee food.
Filberts, where they can be raised,
will supply pollen in February and
March. Rape, summer and autumn
gown, yields pollen in April and May,
at time when it is especially yalu-
able to bees for brood rearing. Small
fruits and most Of orchard fruits yield
pollen in thir blossoms from April to
July. Glover blossoms from April to
July, and furnishes excellent honey
material. Asparagus blossoms furnish
pollen in June and July, as do the
blossoms of the chestnut. linden and
catalpa. In the West alfalfa furnishes
a vast amount of honey in June and
July. Cucumbers, squashes, melon
and pumpkins furnish honey in July
and August. Then there is the al
ways valuable buckwheat blooming a
month or so after seeding, and making
the best of honey. Plan to have some
honey producing plant in bloom all
summer, and the hives will show the
gain.
The De Soto Grape.
Expert hybridists have at last been
able to raise hybrids from the old
Scuppernong grape SO popular in the
South. The result Is several varieties
that promise to revolutIonize grape
culture in the South The accom-
panying illustration shows the De
Soto. 1t is hybrid of the Scupper-
non gand Wits Munso, ana, species
closely allied to the Southern MusCa-
dine. In size of cluster the De Soto
is two or three times that of the
Scuppernong. Berry is large. shining

no marked change in the local mar
ket to-day, nor were there important
variations in the west or abroad. Fol-
lowing the advance and activity IN TIN

Stocks-The stock market retained
it's general characteristics today of
strength and breadth. A large out
side interest was manifest and the pro-
fessional operators who bought at the
lower levels were busy in bidding up
the prices of their holdings and in
feeding the new demand to take their
profits; but while selling stocks from
the one hand to realize on the rise,
they were taking on new holdings Of
different stocks with the other. Appar-
emily the confidence that stocks which
have not yet shared in the advance
could be induced to move upward was
unimpaired and the holdings Of the
large financial interests which have
taken hold of the market were broad
ened and extended. The duration Of
this kind of upward movement does
not always depend strictly on the con-
tinuance of the public demand for
stocks. There is a contestant process
of unloading by compact and well or
ganized financial interests into the
hands of scattered and unskilled spec
ulators who have not the same expert
ence and adroitness in protecting their
holdings, nor the same resources for
maintaining them. The progress of a
bull movement almost inevitably re-
suits in the transfer of holdings from
strong to weak hands and leaves the
market vulnerable to attack by bear
operators who are able to force selling
by offering down prices and uncover
ing margins. Even to-day attempts by
bear operators were in evidence to
force decreases, but the general de-
mand for stocks continued so good and
the large holdings are still in such
strong hands that the market resisted
bear assaults and presented hard and
unyielding surface, even at points
where realizing was coming on. Yes
terday's strength in National Steel
gave way to realizing to-day. and the
metal group Of stocks was without
any conspicuous leadership. Norfolk

The oats market was steady but dun
and trade was not large. The receipts
here were 314 cars. May sold from
231ac to 23asc and closed unchanged at
23asc.
The provisions market was strong
and trade fairly active at the opening,
receipts of hogs under the estimate and
higher prices at the yards were sup
ports. Later the influence of the cotton
strength was felt in demand in the
South. There was some profit takings
but this caused but little reaction.

ripens three or four weeks after the
Ecuppernong and holds on till frost.
All of the new hybrids, of which there
are four ARE absolutely free from rot
and mildew and will succeed anywhere
in the Southern States. Like tho
Scuppernong, they require male vine
fowe ing at the 81 -ne tine and erow-
ing near. to render them fruitful.
These new hybrids will be welcome to
the Southern planter, adding one more
industry to the section and giving ono
more argument against the cotton crop

The Future of Wheat.
Considerable comment has been
raised by the statement Of an English
statesman that the United States has
reached its limit in the production OF
wheat, the claim being made that no
more land in this country is available
or suitable for wheat. The American
farmer does not need to be told that
this is wrong conclusion, for grow
ing wheat in the East was not aban-
doned because the soil would no longer
produce it, but simply because of East
could not compete with the great vir-
gin soils of the West. The world Is
larger consumer of corn products to-
day than it was year ago, and the
time is not far distant when the de-
mand for wheat, exceeding the supply.
must be met by increased consumption
of corn as substitute. But, granting
this, farmers in all sections of tho
country where wheat will grow should
make 1t practice to grow at least
sufficient to supply the flour needed
for the family, and do it each year 50
that the local grist mill, fast becom-
ing obsolete, may be retained. AS the
population of the world increases and
continued failure of the wheat crop
outside Of the United States becomes
the rule, more and more wheat must
come from this country to supply the
demand and leave us what is needed
for home consumption. 1t is more
than possible that in ten years ths
title of King Wheat may be quita
as prominent as was that OF king
Cotton years ago.

African mines opened blazing here

rumor that Ladysmith had been re-

no confirmation of any Of the rumors
and prices fell away after Q o'clock.

Rumors that the refneries were to

ed the advance. The progress towards
extension Of holdings by the great rail-
road systems of lesser and competing
systems had much to do with the
strength of Pennsylvania and other
lines supposed to be in process of abb
sorption. The coming advance in the
Tidewater freight rates on bituminous
coal was also an element. In the out

over thirty points to 345 in the price
Of Standard Oil on the declaration of

SUCCESS IN BUSINESS.
A. 2. Hewitt and Richard Croker on
 Business Prospects Of Young MeE.


 Richard Croker says that the young men today have no chance in business on accouL- of the trusts, and he there fore advises them to spout for Tam many, whether they know how to talk or not MT. Abram S Hewitt, in the Commercial Advertiser. ventures to call IT. question the truth of this statement and the soundness of the advice which accompanies it. He says that large cor poradons, instead Of discouraging young men of ability and character are actually looking for them all the time Speaking for a company in which he is Interested he adds: 1T need five or six of them. young men who are willing to Legil a ths blttom and work up. There is To one inside to keep them back. Industry and commerce are increasing and new enterprises are being under taken. The government statistics of imports and exports show this. PeO- ple are not dying any less today than they did in the past. Who is going to take their places? It is the competent young men and there is comparative ly few of them
 Young men of ability who are not afraid to work hard for success will find no serious obstacle in their path today. But if their idea is to saunter Into a business house and graciously accept a junior partnership offhand. iU must be admitted they will find little to encourage them. Mr. Hewitt appar- sntly thinks that the leader of Tamma- ny had this type of young men in his mlnd. for he asks: What did MT. Gro Ier want for his sons in the Roebling concern? Did he want them to begin at the bottom Of she firm which the RoeD- lings had built up after forty years of work? Judging from the reports of the Mazet hearing. N1r. Croker wanted them tp get in as partners. and was disappointed because they could no, in fifty minutes get to the head of a firm which it had taken forty years to build up."
 But however f may be in MT. Gro ker's own family. it is a fact that many young men today desire to reach the soa1 of success at once, and success, as they understand it. means the ac-
 quis!tion of great wealth. That such young men should rail at the modern methods of business is entirely natural:
 fer. except in rare instances. great for tunes are made only by exceptionally
 able men, who are ready if need be to work like q galley slave twelve or four Jeen hours a day for the best part of their lives. The trusts" as MT. CrO- kar indiscrminately calls all large corporations, are looking for such men, and when they find them they take good care not to lose them Not long ago the head of a great business enter prise said: "If I could find a you.,g man who could take all the care or my busine ss off my shoulders. I sand req dy to pay him a salary If s100,000 a year for life But he hasn't found the young man yet. although no pheneme- nal ability is needed to master the de-
 tails of the business.-New York Tri- bune.
