rbrouGhout the Week--Turpentine
rirm at 42%c-Rosins Firm at the

Markets.
The Morning News Office,
Friday, April rs.
The strength of spot cotton was the
,.oture of the week in the local mar
rats with the demand better than it
~os been for several weeks past. The
actual cotton is wanted by exporters,
MT only here. but throughout the
South. and with a few days more of
such buying as has been done the past
week the unsold stock will be cut down
greatly.
The statistical developments of the
week bid fair to be fully as favorable
os those which signalized the final re-
norts on the worlds visible supply last
Friday night, says one house. The
bsavv takings by English spinners
from the open market will doubtless
he duplicated in the continental re-
,orts. and American mills may be
counted on to absorb their full quota;
so that as far as American cotton is
concerned approximately 100000 bales
will be lost to the worlds visible sup
NV. and stocks will thus show a de-
fcit as compared with last year, of
something under that amount. Crop
accounts continue to be unfavorable
from the Southwest to the extent of
drought conditions prevailing, but else
where there is no complaint and there
fore we have no reason to believe ad-
verse conditions exist. We believe the
market will be more active and higher
after this week.

New York, April Observation-Disclosures
ing the good rise yesterday, cotton
opened higher to-day, the general list
showing los points advance on less ac-
tive transactions than yesterday. The
remarkably fine showing at Liverpool
again surprised bulls, inspired them
with confidence. 1t was expected that
an anxiety to take profits would lead
market, but this was not the case. At
the same time it was noted that while
the more conservative element were
not so sure of prices advancing by
leaps and bounds, the rampant faction
were talking wildly, some pretending
to believe in 3@4c further rise. Per-
feet weather prevailed all over the
South to-day. A further slight gain
followed the opening. May notices rep
resenting $4,000 bales were sold during
the morning. The net gain at Liver
pool was 2@4 points advance, and this
alone prevented local liquidation to any
extent up to noon The statistical de-
velopments at Liverpool for weeks as
regards stock have again been bullish.
The SUPPLY of all kinds of cotton fell
from ILL, 900 last week to 1,0S6,090
while the American stocks decreased
$4,000 and are now $4,000. The afioat
stock, however, increased 81, 900 for all
kinds and $4,000 for American. Atten-
ton is called to the fact that prices for
middling on the spot at Liverpool is
SID, against 4 21-32d last year. Esti-
mates for tomorrow: New Orleans,
1900 to $500 bales, against 1920; Hous-
ton, $50 to $780, against 3,14S last year.

COTTON.

spot cotton was in good demand
throughout the week, with sales of g.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.

The sea island cotton market closes
very firm, with the demand fair but
with trading limited owing to the I'M
willingness of factors to accept quota
tons. Higher prices are asked. 1t is
understood that exporters are in many
cases bidding quotations without get
ting the cotton. Holders are very stiff,
and the market is probably rejecting
in a measure the firmness of uplands,
which are at present in good demand
throughout the South Sales of sea
island for the week were 290, against
1852 last year. The receipts were 112,
against 996 last year. Stock $685.
against 22,56S last year. Crop in sight
to date 74,411, against S2,O1S last year,
and 97,467 year before last. Advices
from the interior are that planting is
progressing we'll. Unsold cotton is
firmly held at interior points.

ROADS IN GERMANY.
How They Are Kept In Repair With
out AnyApprecinble Cost TO
the Taxpayers.

Americans concede that roadmaking
In Germany is a fine art. Few, how
ever, realize that road repairing has
been reduced to comparatively cheap
art as well. Iwish devotedly that local
societies could be former in order to
study it, and apply the results of the
study to country roads in America.
/ spoke once on the subject to an audi
ence of leading citizens in Ulster coun-
ty in New York, an ideal county to eN-
pertinent in, having all the three chief
things for success. l mean stones,
paupers and fruit trees. Germans,
namely, find that it pays to encourage
peasants to free their fields of stones;
the property rises in Withdrawing
value. The stones thrown into heaps
by the roadside are purchased by the
district road-repairing commission.
Poor men, who otherwise would have
to be supported in almshouses, are
hired to break these stones, and then
are trained to the work of repairing
the roadbeds. The money to pay the
men is made by auctioning off to
the highest bidder the crops of the
fruit trees that were planted on both
sides of the highway when it was built,
and which are nourished we'll by the
manure that falls along the road and
is pushed at intervals by road tender
upon their roots. The purchaser of
the crop sees to it that his fruit is not
stolen. The road commissioners have
no bother about that. And although
the sale is by auction, it brings in con-
siderable. Every burgher knows how
much, because the sales of highway
fruit crops are published in the local
wspapers.-Countess Won Krockow,
in Chicago Tribune.

Whatever may be said of low
prices of farm lands east of the AL
Ieghenies, there is no doubt that
farms of the central valleys, from the
eastern to the western mountains,
are advancing rapidly, and are in de-
mand at greatly increased prices.
Plenty of land in Illinois has reached
the SlO0 mark, and farms of the Mis-
souri, valley, from Kansas to Mime
sofa, are steadily increasing in value.
AS western competition becomes
more intense, western farmers and
the congressman who represent them
demand expensive irrigation and
more free farms, while eastern farm
ers have failed to ask for government
supplies of free fertilizers; and east
ern gardeners have made no demand
for appropriations for plant houses
and other aids to production.-Coun-
try Gentleman.

Amount or Seed to Sow.

The amount of grain to sow per
acre is question of considerable i'm
portance, since the saving of half a
peck per acre is SIS to $50 on every
16O acres of wheat sown. 1t is not
well to slimp the seed, but too much
is as bad as too little; not only is it
n waste of seed, but the plants will
be too crowded to develop in the
highest degree. The right amount of
seed, then, is the question, and yet to
say what will apply in every case is
not possible. BY using averages, the
proper amount under average condi-
tions may be stated, but what would
be too little in a dry summer would
be too much in wet one. The inn
plement used in sowing also has an
influence on the amount of seed to
SOW. 1t is GENERALLY conceded that it
is good practice to sow peck less of
seed with drill than with the broad
cast seeder-Midland Farmer.

A woman and boy answering the de-
scription were living in that town, but
are now proved not to be the Evanston
runaways.
Hoping against hope and with the
heartbreaking sorrow crushing their
hearts, Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers early last
December inserted an advertisement
in the newspapers calling upon the
missing boy and his aunt to come home
for Christmas and all would be for
given. All day Christmas they watched
for the return of the fugitives, and
during the night a lamp was kept burn
ing brightly in the window of the home
on Hinman avenue to welcome their
return. The family felt sure that they
would come, but they were doomed
to disappointment
AS last effort to reach the missing
couple or secure information regard
ing them, Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers have
resorted to the chain letter scheme.
Here is their plea for help:
Dear Friend-wil you kindly help a
| heartbroken father and two mothers
| in an effort to find their loved ones by
| writing three copies of this letter and send
ing them, over your own signature to
three friends. making the same request OF
them, and so on. forming an endless chain.
Miss Florence A. Ely and nephew, Frank
Ely Rogers, disappeared from their home,
| 7l3 Hinman avenue, Evanston, Ill. July
| 49, 1901. Nothing has been heard of them
| since.
Miss Ely is 40 years OF age. about five
| feet three inches in height, very thin and
weighs from 30 to 100 pounds; face rather
| long and very expressive; dark brown
| hair; large dark brown eyes, with an In
| tense expression, are her most noticeable
| feature; good music teacher; attractive to
children.
Frank f. Rogers will be IA years OF age
| in March. 1902. Height about five feet two
| inches weight about so pounds; medium
| brown hair, gray blue eyes, long, slender
| hands, is left handed, writes with either
right or left; draws well, always using left
hand. Only love and glad welcome await
| them both. A large reward will be cheer
| fully given for information leading direct
| ly to the restoration of either or both.
| Printed letters with pictures will be sent
| upon request. Send all information to
| JAMES C, ROGERS.
73 Hinman avenue. Evanston, Ill.
AS these letters, by the aid of SYM
pathetic and kind people, go broad
cast over the country in ever widening
circle and reach perhaps every nook
and corner of the United States, the
result sought for may be attained and
mystery cleared up which in some
respects is one of the most puzzling
ever coming to the notice of the po
lice. If Frank Rogers and Miss Ely are
alive, how has it been possible to elude
the shrewdest detectives of the coun
try? If dead, what has become of theil
bodies and why have they not been
discovered? If they have left the coun
try, where have they secured the
means for so long an absence and sc
extended a trip? These are some oi
the questions one is led to ask in con
sidering the case, and which may never
be answered this side the grave.

reported as being in Chicago. Ballin
Winger, of Evanston, declares that he
one day saw Frank Rogers sitting in
a window of LIE Grand hotel, Chicago,
but when the police whom he notified
arrived, the boy had gone. AT other
hotels and restaurants the couple have
been partially identified, but have al
ways eluded capture. They are be-
lieved to have spent some time at Wau-
kegan, summer resort. The latest
clew, from Casselton, N. D., appears
more hopeful than any of the others.

They took north-bound electric car
which runs from Chicago to Milwau-
kee, and that was the last time they
were seen in Evanston. On the Goth
of last December n bundle of clothing
belonging to Miss Ely and Frank Rog-
ers was found tucked away under the
Central street station of the Milwau-
kee & st. Paul railroad in North Evans
ton, and where it is now surmised by
the police that the pair stopped ano
changed their clothing, the boy pos
sibly Disgusting himself as girl-for
he left his collar behind-and Miss Ely
transforming herself into an older
and shabbily dressed woman. Since
then dozens of clews have been fol
lowed, but not one has led to a reliable
trace of the couple.
