enough to cut the roots of the cane.
suckers appearing after about the mid
die OF June are not likely to mature iti
this latitude, although season and soil
will work some influence. 1t is quite
likely that the locality, North or South,
from which the seed cane is obtained,
Will exert some influence upon the
date of it's maturity, just as it does
with other crops. But have had no OPP
portunity of determining definitely the
extent of this influence.
There are three principal varieties
of cane grown in Texas and Louis
lama. The red or purple cane, the
ribbon cane, and the green cane. The
red cane is the hardest variety: will
resist cold and dought better, and is
perhaps a little richer in saccharine
matter at time of cutting. because it
natures earlier; though there is little
difference in saccharine matter between
it and ribbon cane The green cane
contains, or appears to contain, more
juice tha either of these, but is not so
sweet until late in the season, since it
is rather late in maturing. 1t is. how
ever, a softer Cane-easier to crush
and this is a property worth consider
ing when horse power mills are to be
used. DR.. Stubbs has shown at the
Louisiana experiment station that the
NAbpNA NlAN tiiA "a VI iilt Sldih may bt
used for planting and the lower two
thirds reserved for grinding. Whether
the whole stalk, or only the upper part
of it is planted, it is well to remember
that cutting the stalk should be done
only when necessary to give a straight
row, and uniform covering. Some peo-
pie have an idea that cutting the cane
into short pieces at the time of plant
ing, stimulates subsequent sprouting
and propagation. The reverse is true.
In early spring the cane should be
barred OFF, and the top of the ridge
removed with hoes to allow the young
shoots to come out Care should be
exercised at this time, in order that a
good stand may be obtained, When
the cane is large enough, the middles
may be broken out, throwing a good
bed to the cane, and leaving a clean,
clear middle furrow to facilitate drain
age during the spring rains.
While the cane needs a, large amount
of water for fun development. it can
not endure standing sub-soil water in
actual contact with the roots II is
the practice with many farmers to use
the turning plow for cultivation from
this time on to laying by" DR..
Stubbs strongly condemns this prac-
tice, and believes that after the first
bed is made with the turning pillow, 1t
should then be discarded and culti-
vators used entirely, using the dis
cultivator to throw dirt to the cane
and the middle or diamond cultivator
for breaking out the middles. Sweeps
may be used instead of Cultivators, if
these are not on the farm. The season
will have some influence in deciding
the kind of cultivation. Only two facts
are necessary to keep i'm minds and
then use Judgment suited to the condi-
tions. First, a good bed to the cane
should be maintained until the latter
part of the season at least. Second,
frequent and shallow cultivation con-
serves moisture. The ground should
be kept in good titlth or heart" from
the time the cane is planted until it is
laid by.

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

New York, Jan. 11.-Confiicting infu-
ences have kept the stock market fair
ly active and Irregular, affording ex-
cellent opportunities to the professional
trader. Opinion is not so optimistically
one-sided as year ago. The facts
that prices are very high, and that the
maintenance of present initiation is
only possible through unexpected con,
tinuance of prosperity, are becoming
generally recognized and inducing a
growing spirit of conservatism. When
Stock Exchange transactions have ris-
en- from "a 000 900 shares in 1896 to 253,-
900, 900 in 1901 it seems time to call a
halt for reflection. During that same
period many of the active stocks have
more than doubled in value; bank loans
in New York have risen from $467 ,000,-
900 to sS75, 1000, 900; pig iron production
has doubled; our exports have risen
over 40 per cent. and imports nearly 30
per cent; while the prices of staple
commodities average one third higher
than in 1901. Such extraordinary pros
perity is of course highly self-satisfy-
ing; but it's altogether exceptional
character throws the strongest doubt
upon it's high level permanence. Not a
few men whose judgment is entitled to
respect believe that the present rush
of business and traffic will continue
another year. Nobody wishes to dis
agree with them and everyone will
hope their views may prove correct;
yet facts cannot he ignored. and these
point Enthusiastically towards reaction,
Notwithstanding there are quarters in
which the onward movement may con-
tinue or break out afresh in spots hith-

When the cane is planted, it's lowest
depth should be above the level of the
center furrow in the middle dividing
the rows; this insures drainage from
the cane, and protects it against wet
rot, says the Farm and Ranch. On
the other hand, dry rot is apt to occur
If the land is cloddy with little moist

cane rapidly evaporates its moisture.
In Louisiana, It is customary to plant
two running stalks in the drill, II the
cane is planted in the fall or three or
four running stalks, II the cane is
planted in spring. This is to insure a
perfect stand ON the sugar plantations,
where so much depends upon good
stand. But in planting a few acres for

aged: One shoot to every foot may be
considered as a good stand, since the

Manchester, Jan. 12.-The cloth mar
ket during the past week was gener-
ally firm. There was fair business in
some directions, while in others there
was difficulty in arranging for the de-
cline of cotton in the early part of the
week. Heavy port receipts caused an
abstention from buying. The recent i'm
proVement in tone has enabled sellers
to regain their lost ground. Cotton was
watched closely by both sellers and
buyers and the course of receipts at
American ports was of especial inter-
est, this being now the only means
of testing the accuracy of larger or
smaller estimates.
There was rather more business with
China last week and shirting especially
were bought more freely. There was
a moderate trade with India in several
lines. The trade with South America
and minor outlets was inactive. This
latter was attributed more to the policy
pursued by merchants here than to un-
healthy conditions abroad.
There was a general inquiry for
yarns, which did not improve. Spinners
are pressing for business and are ac-
cepting slightly lower prices for large
orders.

NEW USES FOR NEW FURS.
Russian Pony skins for Motorists.
White CaIfsIxfn for Miniver.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mail.
Russia is sending us a couple of
very novel pelts, the skins of ponies
and of calves for making motor-car
dresses and coats, and for the Russian
blouses wealthy women are wearing
so much this winter.
The skins of the ponies are not very
large and are forwarded, names and
all, to the furriers, but so far the
names have not been made useful.
Perhaps the toy trade will eventually
profit by them, and the fiery nursery
steeds of the. rocking-horse and Gray
Dobbin persuasion be equipped with
the long silky hair of these creatures.
Any one who has travelled in Russia
Will know the pale, tawny shade of the
native pony, almost lionlike in color.
1t is also the commonly met hue of
the little Scandinavian horses driven in
Norway almost exclusively. and much
seen, too, in Sweden and Finland. The
skin dyes brown and lovely jet black
most successfully, and is so strong
that it is uncommonly suitable for
rough-wear wraps.
Nor is it outrageously expensive. A
Russian blouse made of it comes TO
eight and a half guineas. Motorists
in the feminine world are wearing
enormous coats still, but newer than
these are short, jaunty fur skirts and
pouched boleros to match.
Russian pony suits are certain TO
please them, and fur caps of the pelt
are sent out with the toilette, so that
the whole picture is complete.
The Russian calf makes very pretty
snowwhite coats. tufted with black,
and charming revers, cuffs, ties, and
muffs. for cloth redingotes. TO some
eyes this pelt will resemble miniver,
but there is a huge monetary diff
ference between it and ermine as well
as visible one, especially as miniver
which is really ermine, tufted with
the black tips of the tails only, in
stead of the tails themselves-Is daily
going UP in price in view of the corona
ton and its requirements.

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.

Large Movement Checks Cotton Ad-
Vance-Wheat Market at Close.
The cotton market was variable and
uncertain. The early tendency was
downward, and on Wednesday Nav
sold as low as 1926. A good rally fol
lowed, May reaching S19c. but the
market eased off trife at the close
nnaI quotations showing an advance of
only points for the week, May S.1Sc
The general bullish feeling in the
market was weighted down by the
overwhelmingly heavy movement. Ac-
cording to the Chronicles figures. the
amount coming into sight for the week
was 100000 bales, against 22S,OOO last
year. $4,000 in 1900, and 24S. 900 in 1899
10 date. the amount in sight is 7,050.-
VV0 Daies, against 6.915,000 last year, g.
Idl,OOO in 1900, and S245, 900 in 1899.
1t VIII be found by calculation that
the interior stocks have furnished a
str1kingly close approximation of the
proportlonate amount left in the coun-
Try during recent years. For instance,
last year interior stocks at this date
were $4,000 bales, and the amount re-
ceived subsequently, was $500, 900 bales.
or 44O per cent. of the interior stocks
In 1900 interior stocks were 7S7, 900,
While the amount to come in later
proved to be 3,230000 bales, or 41O per
cent. In 1899, it is in like manner found
to be 420 per cent. The divergence,
therefore, is quite small Now present
interior stocks are 6S3, 900 bales. and if
we add to the amount in sight, 1885,
600 bales, 440 per cent, the amount to
come in will be 3,005, 900 bales, making
the total 10,055. 900; adding 41O per cent,
the total would fbe 9,S50, 900 bales. and
adding APO per cent. the total would be
S,91S,O00 bales. The average of the
three years would make the crop $780,
600. These results are close enough to-
gether to give a reasonable presump-
tlon OF some consistency in the ratio
wheat was pretty firm all the week,
May reaching S4$4c. Late on Saturday,
however, there was a sudden decline
OF about 11zc, May closing at S21ac, a
loss for the week of &c. Winter wheat
crop news was unfavorable, there being
deficiency of moisture and snow protec-
ton. The bureau report of the total
crop last year is figured to mean a
yield of $4,000. 900 bushels. These fig
ures are claimed by some to be bearish,
and were used to influence Saturday. s
break. On the contrary, they ought to
be regarded as Bullish, as leading au-
thorities have been calling the United
States crop 25,000,000 bushels, some as
high as 100000, 000 The actual crop is
insufficient to make up for the enor-
nous shortage in corn.
