THE VALUE OF MEAN THINGS.

Everything has its uses in the divine
economy of the universe. The things
which we term weeds and pests are
simply good things out Of place. A re-
cent bulletin issued by the department
of agriculture gives a lot of interesting
facts about some common weed pests.
The dandelion, such an omnipresent
lawn pest, furnishes a valuable medi-
cine, the root being known under the
name of taraxacum; 1850 pounds Of
these roots were imported into this
country last year, worth about cents
per pound. The root Of the common
burdock is imported largely from Bel
GUM and brings from to 10 cents
! pound for use in medicine. The dock
root. is imported to the amount Of 49,
1000 pounds each year and is much val
ued in the treatment of blood and skin
diseases. Two hundred and fifty thou
sand pounds of the roots of the couch
grass are imported each year and sell
from to cents per pound. The flow
ers of the mullion have a market value
of so to Is cents per pound when prop
erly dried. The leaves and flowers Of
the tansy have market value when
dried, as do horehound, yarrow and
boneset. The seed of the mustard, the
yellow scourge of the west, is bought
by the farmer who grows and curses it
at 40 cents pound to season his roast
beef. The seeds and leaves Of the jim
son weed, or stramon1um, are worth
from to 8 cents pound. Now, what
the farmer wants is more drug stores
evidently.

The agricultural department is out
with story detailing how a Methodist
parson keeps twenty-five cows which
bring him in $2.40O year on fourteen
acres Of what was awhile ago one Of
the poorest little farms in Pennsylva-
mia. These cows are soiled and kept in
the barn the year round. and all their
food is produced on the farm. When
preacher and the agricultural depart
ment 60 into partnership just ornery
farmers may prepare to open their
eyes.

Ware e. Leiand'S
Cotton L. ett0r

Raleigh. N. c.. April 1.-THE market
seems 20 be very slow and uninteresting.
When a market ranges within 20 points
and looks strong at the advance, and Ike
it is going higher, and then weak at the
bottom as though it was going lower, 1t
is not very encouraging at best. The alb
sence of a good spot demand from spinners
is the cause of the whole trouble. If this
is due to diminished consumption and SPIN
ners wont buy, because they cannot sell
goods and can't use the cotton, why then
there is nothing to prevent lower prices
later on. But on the other hand receipts
are nothing and it looks as though there
would be no cotton before another crop.
1t is the uncertainty that keeps the trade
still. AS long as the best professional ele-
ment is against buying or selling until
somthing more definite is known we do not
feel like buying at 15c. When there is a
good break of 40 to 80 points, it is different
But as long as the market is deadlocked
there is anyone to pay for the risk. There
is no one that will admit there is any
business doing. Some clever traders how
ever, look for higher prices later on.
Between the two the market halts. Re
ceipts are almost nothing. AS long as
this is true it is hard to break the market,
though an advance is not in order We
feel mere inclined to the buying side on
a good break The market for cotton fu-
lures closed seady.

or Disappointing cables and generally ia
Ncrable early weather reports. For a few
minutes room covering steadied the mar,

no demand of consequence and with ca
bles continuing easy; prices soon dropped
down another few points to be rallied,
however, before midday and reached
nearly the closing prices CT last Saturday

cotton by frosts over Saturday night and
Sunday morning. These reports were re-
ceived from private sources from several
different sections, but the trade was not
disposed to credit any serious damage and
after The first wave OF covering the mar
ket soon yielded to a renewal of room
pressure and further selling for long ac-
count. The balance of the session was
more or less irregular, but in general
the market showed an easier undertone
and reached the lowest level in the late
trading when May sold at 14.51 and July
az 1919. The close was steady but at
practically the lowest, net decline OF
to 20 points. Sales were estimated at

to be mostly for professional account.

New York. April 11.-There being no
adverse development over Sunday the
stock market resumed It's upward move
ment. At the opening of the market to-
day American stocks III London were
quoted at from IA to l IA points higher
and the opening here was characterized
by material advances III many issues in
which 3. r. r., Atchson, Louisville and
Nashville, st. Paul, Pennsylvania Anal
Samated Copper and Tennessee Coal ard
Iron were most prominent. With the
steel, iron and copper trades showing con
tinucd Improvement, with money cheap
a1G abundant it only remains for the
growing crops to produce normal yields
in order to make conditions ideal for
strong bull market. The diversifcation
OF our crops, spread over b0undless areas
territory under various climatic nflu
ences usually enables us. to count upon
a sufficient yield for home consumption
with an ample surplus for export. To
days market for grain was quiet but a
rather firm tone developed on the excel
lent buying by Valentine and others who
took all offerings Of July wheat and corn
on recessions.
While the weather conditions have i'm
proved considerably, it must be remem-
ber5d that another critical month must
be passed before approximations can be
fully removed. Today's cotton market
was a quiet affair and price changes un-
important, ranging slightly under the
closing prices Of last week while thu de-
mand for cotton was light, prices were
partly sustained by the small receipts
which for the day are estimated at 5000
bales. against $4,000 last year. Liverpool
reported SAILS of 5000 spots with business
