Close. Day
Call money, New York ............ 1895
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE stock
market continued almost entirely in pro-
fesstonal hands today. There were err
ratio fluctuations and active speculation
in Third Avenue over a range Of 3%, and
Sugar continued to share with that stock
the largest amount of attention. Tennes-
see Coal advanced points, and gave
sympathetic strength to other iron and
steel stocks by the action of the directors
in placing the stock on the dividend list
after providing for the claims of pre-
ferred stockholders to the accumulation
Of several years dividends.
There was a good market for American
stocks in London and an early advance in
sympathy here, but the weakness Of the
local market over the bank statement
the appearance of the statement when
there came a change, though renewed
weakness in the traction stocks checked
the advance and unsettled sentiment.
But the close was fairly steady and
showed net gains except in a few cases.
The bank statement was surprise in
many particulars. Predictions had been
freely. made that the surplus. would be
entirely wiped out The fact that 1t was
reduced little more than half. therefore
had sentimental effect against the
bears. But the surplus Is so small in any
event as to leave no great difference in
effect to the banks. The decrease in loans
can only mean that the process of liQui-
dalton has commenced of the extensive
loans taken out by the banks here and
elsewhere to buy government bonds for
the purpose of taking advantage OF the
new refunding law. Chiefly from this
cause the loans of the New York clear
ing house banks were expanded from Jan.
10 to March 10, no less than $685. ,OOo
The large applications making to the
treasury department for conversion of
present bonds into the new Is gives pro-
mise of prompt relief to the money mar
ket by disbursement of the premiums on
also that the New York subtreasury be-
gins to reflect the payment of pensions
In it's reduced drain on the banks, thus
promising relief from the factor that has
caused most uneasiness regarding the
money market. On these accounts the be-
lief is held that today's statement marks
the elimination Of the decline in the sur
plus reserves.
The quotations made in today's money
market were hardly more than nominal,
Friday afteroon carry over until Monday.
Not the least surprise in the bank state
ment was the fact that as result Of the
first week in which the new bank cur
rency law is in operation there Is an &C
tual decrease recorded in the circulation
of New York banks of SCI, 500

ASPARAGUS.

This vegetable is luxury, enjoyed by
all. 1t is ready to use just when most
needed by the family for spring medi-
cine, as we'll as for food product Since
l have learned how easily It can be
grown l am surprised that 1t Is not found
growing In every garden.
Plant long row the length OF your
garden this spring. using this method:
Open q wide and deep furrow with the
plow. Fill the furrow with well pre-
pared compost, then work this into the
soil with a plow and cultivator, making a
thorough job of It. Finally draw a
straight furrow. about five inches deep,
the entire length of the trench, into
which drop two-year-old asparagus roots
about twelve to fifteen inches apart.
These can be covered with the plow
and the surface should be feveled with a
harrow. Cultivate the same as corn dur
ing the growing season.
AS soon as the seed begins to color.
cut the stalks and burn them. When
the ground freezes, cover the row with a
liberal dressing of manure. This can be
spread about the plants early In the
spring and worked into the soil with a
cultivator, securing the very best results.
Asparagus cut and used at once is
much superior to the last years stock
usually found on the markets. The fam

THE HOTBED.

March Is the month In which to pre-
pare the hotbed and plant the seed re-
quired in 1t. For many early vegetable
the hotbed is really Indispensable Where
farmers are located near cities or large
towns they can generally purchase toma-
to, sweet potato, cabbage, egg plant, cell
cry and some other plants at less than 1t
would cost them to raise them, and at
the same time secure plants of excellent
quality. Those who make a business
of raising plants to sell devote business
attention to It. Their plants are also
generally shifted from the hotbed to the
cold bed. and in that manner have be-
come hardened" They are also more
stocky after such trea tment, and when
they are set out start to grow much soon
er than ordinary hotbed productions 1t
will, however, pay farmers to have a hot
bed, as before stated, simply to supply
the plants necessary to have some extra
early vegetable productions. The follow
ing from Farmers Bulletin "a gives some
good points on hotbeds. The bulletin
says: MANY plants must be started In

twice. The essentials for a hotbed arc

WHEAT BULLS ARE HAPPY
ftl@ .
MARKET FINALLY SHOWS AID
VANCE FOR WEEK THAT IS DE-
CIDEDLY SUBSTANTIAL
GAIN Is ABOUT TWO CENTS
s-ts-
Closing Saturday Firm, with IndI-
cations of Continued Strength
Corn Ruled Rather Strong
Oats Active.
GAIN Is ABOUT TWO CENTS

Wheat bulls are in clover, with every
Indication that they are about to reap
the reward for their patience and faith
in the cereal. The cold wave that came
during the week had much to do, how
ever, with frightening the outlook for
better prices, and without 1t a different
story might be told at the close of a
busy week. The gain approximates 2
cents. At Minneapolis May wheat closed
Saturday at 6514c; the previous Satur-
days closing figures were 69%c. At Chi
cago there was a gain Of like proportions,
the close being at 67ss@671ac, while the
previous Saturdays closing figures were
657s@66c. At Duluth the difference was
673sc Saturday in comparison with 657sc
the previous Saturday. New York gain
was slightly less in amount The figures
are: Last Saturday, 7S7sc; previous Sat
urday, 72s4c. The more enthusiastic wing
of the bull crowd confidently expects fur
Their advances. The market Is certainly
in more promising lines than for many
weeks past.
CORN AND OATS.
Corn has not gained in proportion to
wheat but has shown considerable
strength, and on Saturday, while fiuc-
tuating rather widely, closed at a point
satisfactory to the bull following. There
is much interest in corn, and it is be-
lieved that the coaTserJ grain will cut
quite figure in speculation before the
new crop is put in.ns a
Oats close the wddk strong and rather
active. Prices are not materially changed.
The demand has been good, and dealers
are satisfied with prevailing conditions.
STOCKS PROFESSIONAL.
The stock market7 CONTINUES decidedly
professional. In fact the general public
has kept aloof from trading, of late, and
there is no line upon what outside deal
ers in securities areIGontemplating for the
future. Better classes of securities are
holding their own, despite somewhat un-
favorable conditions. MBney is still a
cause of doubt and uncertainty. though
there is hope that the new financial law
will afford relief attain eRfly date Satur-
days bank statement was far from un-
favorable. Indeed; the showing was
somewhat of surprise. and favorable to
the bull element
