A good day and the market will be steady
again. The banks acted together to-day,
but there was no consonance or agree

good. Wall street could not stand many

weathered and the situation will improve
from the opening tomorrow"
An industrial leader made this statement

worst of the storm is over. There have
larger financiers. and it has been decided
that every man of standing in the street
shall be protected. l had thought there
would be failures, but there are influences

the entire demand within five years The
court has considered methods of raising

Whoever observes these interesting
insects finds it easy enough to foretell
exactly the kind Of weather TO be eX-
pected At least this is the opinion Of
many raiSers of bees.
Generally the bee stays at home
when rain is i'm the air. When the sky
is simply dark and cloudy, these busy
workers do not leave their dwelling all
at once. \ few go out first, as though
the queen had sent out messengers to
study the state of the atmosphere. The
greater number remain on observation
until the clouds begin to dissipate, and
ii is only then that the battaliOns en-
tire rush out in search Of their nectar
A bee never goes out in a fog, because
it is well aware that dampness and
cold are two fearsome redoubtable
enemies. We do not mean, however
that the bee is n meteOrologist in the
absolute sense Of the word. Its clever
ness consists in never being taken I'M
awares, for it possesses untiring vigil
lance. Often one may observe the sud
den entrance of bees into the hive
when a dense cloud hides the sun and
even though the rain is not in evidence.
