STCCKS-The realizing of specula-
tive profits proceeded steadily to-day
at a resulting expense of prices. The
only variation from the downward
course was due to purely technical
causes. Even the opening advance in
prices was largely due to manipula-
ton which began in the London mar
ket on cabled orders from here before
the market in New York opened The
general steadness in the London
market helped this purpose. The rapid
recuperation in the condition of the
Bank of England and the continued
ease. of money lnere, in spite of large
Withdrawals from the market by the
bank. points to an early reduction in
the Bank of England rate. The open
ing prices of stocks here proved in
most cases to be the highest The
weakness of the steel stocks which be-
gan from the opening proved a dis
appointment for those SPECTATORS
who had hoped that the group would
assume the leadership of a new adj
vance in prices, because OF the
strength shown by the leading steel
stocks late yesterday Yesterdays
advance proved sufficient to bring in
buying orders. and the speculative
hackers of these stocks seemed indis-
posed to offer very serious support.
The coterie which bought stocks on
Monday was credited with heavy sell
ing to realize and there were large
selling orders all day which were at
tributed to Chicago account The re-
ported illness of the largest individual
operator in the street, and who has
been supposed to be long of stocks,
had considerable influence on senti-
ment, but the real basis of the reac-
ton was the failure to attract anv re-
newed outside speculation as clearly
demonstrated by the marked decline
in the activity in the market. Some
attention was given to the reports of
friction between the English and Rus
sian admirals in Chinese waters. The
days statement of the treasury opera
tons reflected the payment on ac-
count of gold withdrawn from the as
say office for export, which more than
wiped out the weeks previous gain
by the banks.
A notable feature Of the current
money situation is the heavy influx OF
national bank notes. Yesterdays treas
ury statement shows that receipts Of
bank notes for current redemption thus
far this month have amounted to s13-
SCI, SOS. For the six months ending
January 1st. the total was s63,993.S4S
The average per working day previous
to this month was a little over s420
600, while for this month thus far the
average is considerably over s7O0 900
per working day. Experience shows
that this return movement of bank
notes is likely to continue heavy dur
ing February and March and in view
of the expansion under the new law
Of about $4,000. 600 in national bank is
sues, it is likely to be aggravated this
year. The limitation of $4,000. GOO per
month a,s the maximum allowed for re-
tirement of bank notes remains In the

contraction of cird Nation The current

A Boer Colony In Russia.

The Nowoje vremya publishes an IN.
teresting article, according 10 which
there exists small colony Of Trans.
vaal Beers in the Government districts
Of Nolkynla and Grodno. There are.
our Russian contemporary says, some
ten small Boer settlements between
the villages Of Sahuskiie and Domat-
chewo. which were founded as far
back as lSeO. The total number OF
these Russian-Transvaal Beers. includ-
Ing men. women and children. is be-
tween 400 and 5oO The Russians call
them "nutchmen." as they immlgrated
from Holland. These Beers have pre-.
served all the typical customs OF their
South African brethren. They live on
farms, wear the typical "Boer hats"
devote most OF their leisure time 10
Bible reading. and are very industrious
and honorable. The Boer farms dis
tinguish themselves most favorahly
from the Russian. During the winter
months the men work in the surround
ing factories and saw mills. while the
women attend 10 dairy farming. In
spite Of their better education. these
Boers are intimate friends OF the ma
tive Russians, They all speak and
write Russian, and only when reading
the Bible or praying they use their
Dutch language.

Winter and Spring Spraying.

1t seems TO be almost universally
claimed now by our best horticultur-
lists that spraying in winter, when the
trees are bare, effects more in killing
fungous diseases than a spraying when
the foliage has come out as the spray
can be used much more than double
the strength and is more sure of reach
ing every part Of the bark, thus also
reaching the fungus spores which may
be harbOred there. 1t can also be used
on such as may be on the ground, or
in the grass and weeds under the
trees. These spores lie there dormant
during the winter months, but start
and multiply rapidly in the warmer
weather, and especially If it be damp.
They are also agreed that the law
against spraying apple trees when in
bloom, TO kill the larva of the codling
moth, though enacted as a protection
TO the beekeepers, is really an advan-
tage 10 the orchardist. In Niagara and
Ontario Counties, New York, many ex-
periments have shown that when bios
SONS were sprayed with Paris green
strong enough TO kill the codling
worms, The blossoms failed TO set any
fruit, and usually fell off much sooner
than those not sprayed. This was
seen where one-half the tree was
sprayed in bloom and the other was

EXPORTS ABOUT sI,5oo,ooo.
No Period in American History shows
Such n Record.

Washington, ID. C.-Exports from
the United States continue II increase.
and the fiscal year Of 1901 seems des-
tined not only TO break all records, but
perhaps touch the billion and n half
dollar line. For the twelve months
ending with February the total is ST.
9O,19i,9S5. and for the eight months
OF the fiscal year Is Sl.0lj. 1S5, ,3TI
Thus the record presented by the
February statement Of the Treasury
Bureau Of Statistics at least suggests
a billion and half record for the Gs-
cal year 1901. since the twelve months
ending with February are less than
S10.O000O0 below that sum. and the
eight months Of the fiscal year arc
Sl5,OO0OO0 above the proportion
which eight months Of the twelve in
cluded I'm the fiscal year would be
called upon TO furnish OF a 81 800, ,O0O,-
600 total.
No eight months period in the history
Of our export trade shows as large
n total OF exports as the eight months
ending with February. 1901. The to
tai exports during that period are as
above indicated SlOlJ. 1884,
against S919.f13.47l in the correspond
ing months OF last year. and SG02, &C.,
S13 In eight months cf the fiscal year

dfty per cent. in five years.
The favorable balance Of trade. or
excess Of exports over imports shows

Some sow the seed in September and
