Market Letter.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
New York. March 22-The special fea-
trrc of today's active market was an ad-
vance OF nearly 8 points in Union Pacific,
which was ascribed to favorable develop
meLts yet TO be made known but doubt
less based on the coming dissolution OF
the Northern Securities merger. Traders
who thought that the reaction in yester-
day S market would be continued today,
were again compelled to cover their shorts
at a loss. Today's market, after some
hesitation at the opening, developed con-
siderable strength with tremendous deal
ing in the Pacific issues. ST. Paul and
Atchison followed closely, making ma
ttrial gains on the day. Profit-taking
sales were readily absorbed and the close
was fairly buoyant. Favorable cables to-
gether with prediction OF cold weather
served to check the liquidation on wheat
which has been in progress since the Sully
failure. Opening practically unchanged,
wheat advanced steadily on buying for
beth accounts. We think the recent de-
cline in wheat entirely unwarranted by
present conditions, and believe that pur-
ctases made at present levels should
prove very profitable. Meats and provis-
ions are relatively cheap. Liverpool
cables reported sales OF only 5000 bales
of spot cotton at 26 points decline with
futures quiet at to 10 points lower. In
the local market an opening decline of
nearly 90 points operated against aggres-
siyeness, and thereafter the market ruled
quiet and rather easy. 1t is somewhat
difficult to foresee the immediate future
OF the market which will depend in q
great measure on the demand for the al
ready greatly depleted stocks or cotton
in sight. W. B. SMITH & CO.

Root nhstrnctinn tn Drains.

AS far as known, the roots of grasses,
grains and annual field crops do not
Obstruct underdrain, but this is not the
case with some trees. Among them
are the willows, water elm, tamarack
and sometimes the soft maple, which
in short time will fill the drain with
a mass of root hairs, even when they
are growing fifty feet distant from
the line of the drain. Some field drains
under ordinary conditions contain no
water during a considerable portion Of
the growing season. Those drains
which are fed by springs or have a
continual flow through them are more
subject to obstruction from the roots
of trees than drains which are dry for
part of the year.
Where there is reason to suspect that
there will be difficulty with tree roots
the joints of the tiles near the trees
should be securely cemented. 1t is safe
to say that all willows and water elms
growing within fifty feet of any tile
drain should be destroyed irrespective
of the flow Of water in the drain.

their particular pest in this line, known
as AphiS brassicae. John Fletcher, the

that the insect be looked for when cab
