- oLUMBus, May 15.--Four
Stark county citizens filled
~ legislative berths during the
session just ended. B. F. Sullivan,
of Alliance, very courteous and
clever gentleman, by the way, filled
the position of fourth assistant SER
geant-at-arms in the senate. Charles
o. Silver, also of Alliance, and well
liked here, acted in the capacity of
extra clerk in the house. He will be
kept busy until ten days after the ses-
sion. His position and also that of
Mr.. Sullivan paid s. a day for every
day in the week, Sunday included.
Thomas Sinnock, of Massillon, held
job in the house which was some
thing Of a sinecure. His duties. as
has been said about other persons
holding state jobs, principally consist
ed in heing there. Jacob Palmer, of
Wilmot, made very acceptable door
keeper. He was likewise a house at
tache. Both Sinnock and Palmer
drew $3.50 for every day that the ses-
sion lasted.

An opinion which will be of wide
spread interest has been handed down
by Probate Judge Galloway, of Frank
lin county. He rules that the, recent
decision of Judge Wing, of the United
States court at Cleveland, that probate
courts have no power to issue natural
iZation papers does not apply to the
regular courts of this kind of the state
and only affects the insolvent Courts |
of Cuyahoga and Hamilton counties.

courts of these counties of the stress |

question was raised as to it's jurisdic- |
ton in the matter, and the United
States conrt held it had none. Judge
Galloway believes the decision to be |
proper and right and is firmly OF the
conviction that it only applies to courts

continue to issue naturalization pa

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
Cotton Hesitating-Not Much Change.
Grain and Provisions Weak. &

The cotton market is apparently
hanging on the ragged edge. During
the past week it had alternate fits of
high as SIZE aon Monday, as low as
sole on Thursday and up to S.1Sc on
Saturday, finally closing at S14c, a de-
cline for the week of about points.
Receipts and crop estimates were still
the dominating influences. and will no
doubt continue so. until something
transpireS which will compel either the
long crop or short crop contingent to
abandon its position. Nothing definite
in this direction can be deduced from
last weeks movement. The amount
coming in sight was 266,000 bales,
against 211000 last year. and 207 900 in
1900. This years figures are large, but
nevertheless show falling off from
the week before of 10000 bales. against
a falling off of only $4,000 bales last
year, and an increase of 1900 bales in
1900.
The prospects are that the movement
for the ensuing week will be materially
lighter: should this prove to be the
case, the bears may be expected to be-
come somewhat alarmed over the sit
uation.
-
Early in the week the long-needed rain
and snow came over the winter wheat
region, and was calculated to have
been of great benefit to the crop. On
Monday wheat declined nearly &c to
79kc for May. For the balance of the
week the market held mainly steady
until Saturday, when May fell from
1850 early, to 7Sc, closing at 7Skc
Corn declined over 9s, May closing at
615sc. Oats closed about 2lAc lower, at
44c. Statistics also helped the bears,
showing good increases in the visible
supply and atloat for Europe.
For the time being, the bulls seem to
have lost confidence, and the imme-
date tendency appears downward: but
it must not be forgotten that the time
of real danger to- the winter crop is
still to come. Meantime, wheat Stats
tics are no more bearish than they
were known to be all along, and the
acutenesS of the corn situation cannot
even develop for some months yet.
Hence, tho decline ertainly appears
only speculative and temporary.
Provisions declined in sympathy with
grain, and also independently on ac-
count of very large receipts of hogs.
Predicted scarcity does not seem in a
way of being realized, and prices are
much inflated, thus restricting con-
sumption. They may have to go a good
deal lower VIM r.. Williams.

towns reporting from the four states
show receipts of LAS, 4S4 bales, against
1,26S,124 bales last year, an average
increase of Is per cent. Our Georgia
friends expect approximately the same

There came into sight after this date

BANKER CLEWs' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen
from Wall street.

New Jork. Jan. 25.--The stock market
exhibits a quiet and somewhat weary
disposition. Beyond occasional spurts
in few specialties the bulls scored no
conspicuous victories, and the. bears
seem unable to discover any encour-
agement for bold, aggressive action.
The result is a stand-off; transactions
are limited to between 300,0 900 and $780,
900 shares per day, and trading is en-
tirely of professional character: the
big banking interests and outsiders
both being interested but inactive spec
tators. Apparently the market is drift
ing into a position of temporary dead
lock, the outcome of which 1t is ex-
tremely difficult to fathom. The large
interests are undoubtedly compelled by
self-interest to support the market.
1t is significant that railroad earn
ings. while excellent, are not showing
as large increases as a year ago, and
that decreases are becoming more fire.

modify prices show a downward rather

likely that lower prices for both stocks

should be mortised into the back and
front, placing one every six feet. The
frame should be locate upon a piece
of thoroughly drained ground. If pro-
lection can be given by placing it so
that IT is sheltered on the north and
northwest by a piece of woodland 80
much the better.
The covering for the seed bed may be
made of heavy cotton cloth bleaching
or drilllng). This should be attached
to roller and placed at the back of
the frame. When desired II may he
rolled down to protect against cold or
to give shade. In this frame six inches
of well-rotted stable manure should be
placed and on top of this three or four
inches of leaf mold or hammock soil
The manure should be thoroughly de-
composed; but if 1t should happen that
it should heat no seed should be placed
in the bed until the manure has rot
ted.
Lettuce and celery seed should be
sowed about one-fourth inch deep and
twenty or thirty seeds to the inch Cab
bage and cauliflower should be sowed
a little deeper and eight or ten seeds
to the inch.
When the seedlings are large enough
to handle, they may be transplanted.
Several methods have been tried, but
we have found that the best Is to use
a board as wide as the space between
the rows. The board should be placed
on the soil and a furrow made along
side with a small stick or garden label
Lay the plants in the furrow, press
ing them against the straight side, pour
in little water and replace the soil,
gently tamping it down with the edge
of the board. Lettuce should be set
2x4 inches and cabbage. caulihower and
celery 3x4 inches.
The damping- off fungus is the most
serious enemy to Seeding plants 1t
can be held in check by keeping the
surface dry and well worked, and II
an application of Bordeaux mixture
is given every week, it will be found
of great assistance in combating the
disease.
When the plants are ready for the
field, they should be hardened off, by
Withholding water, and then, just pre-
vious to removing them, the ground
should be thoroughly watered. 1t is
sometimes desirable to preserve the
whole root system. This may be ac-
complished by taking an ordinary table
knife and cutting a line three or four
inches deep between the rows. The
plants may then be lifted with a sharp
spade by cutting down between them
in the row. This entails considerable
labor, but IL will pay in the end.
