MONEY RATES
HURTS STOCKS
WEEKLY BANK STATEMENT or
FERED WARNINGS OF SMALL
RELIANCE. SPECULATIVE
SENTIMENT BROUGHT TO A
CLOSE.

New York, Oct THE weekly
bank statement offered warnings of
small reliance TO be placed on yester-
dasis late decline in call money rate
as a reflection of the situation of the
money market. Speculate We senti-
ment was brought to the conclusion
that the sIiff money market was likely
to continue for the immediate future
and there was selling of stocks in
consequ ance.
The closing was easy at net de-
clines running to po.nt or over for
many prominent active stocks. The
decrease in cash shown by the bank
statement ran to $S,454 ,70a, thus con
siderably exceeding the largest pre-
known movements of the money This
showing is regarded as a pectiflcaVion
in past cf the unexplained increase in
cash reported last week, though the
| full amount of the discrepancy Is by
no means accounted for.
The showing strengthens the sup
position that gold engagements have
been figuring in bank reserves as
soon as made WITHOUT waiting for
their actual receipt The effect of the
decline in cash on the surplus was
modified by scaling down of deposits
through con traction of $11, SS9, 400
in outstanding loans, The inroad upon
the surplus was thus limited tos3,153,
$50, bringing that item down to $4,-
| 2S6,175.
The loan contraction is believed to
be due largely to the taking over Of
loans from banks by out of town in
stitutions which have drawn on their
New York deposits for that purpose
during the week.

for the swivel where it hangs OH the
post, the others for the gate. On the
butt of the pole was a box TO hold stone

hold the whole together; when finished
it would swing either way and it was
easy to handle when properly bal

two inches above the gate with pivot

QUARTERS FOR POULTRY.

The severity of the past two winters
has emphasized the Importance of
warm, comfortable quarters for poul-
try.
Reading the market reports in any Of
the farm papers, one will at once no.
tice that a diminished egg product is
usually attributed TO 4 cold wave.
Eggs have found a ready sale during
the past winter, and at good prices.
A friend of mine having forty-eight
pullets reports lay of thirty-two or
thirty-threa eggs per day right through
the cold weather of January. The eggs
sold from thirty-;Lree to thirty-five
cents per dozen. 1t does not require
an Isaac Newton to figure a fair profit
on this showing. Inquiry brought out
the fact that the pullets were kept in
very warm quarters.
a building set back into the side hill
on one end. and thoroughly protected
on two sides by other buildings, ex-
plains the matter. Parties having dry,
well-lighted. underground quarters
that face the south uniformly report
large winter yields of eggs. 1t costs
considerable to fit up such g building at
first; but the diminished cost of keep.
Ing the fowls. and the increased mum.
Der of eggs produced will soon make
up the difference.
A failure to secure an abundance OF
eggs in winter is not always q diSpen
satiOn of Providence. Not much. Old
hens have been known to lay fairly
we'll in winter on a corn diet, but no
poultryman would think of agreeing
to furnish a certain number OF eggs
each week to customers from old hens.
Old hens may lay, but good, strong,
we'll cared for pullets must lay.
In summer the fowls have the
warmth, the animal food iE the shape
of worms and bugs, the dry road dust
which they are so fond of wallowing
in, an abundance of water, plenty of
green grass, gravel and shells. Now
if all these things are furnished good
pullets in winter they must make a
fairly good showing in eggs.
AS matter of fact, pullets often
make pretty good showing where the
warm, comfortable quarters are moi
provided, and the other items are.
Dry quarters, with vermin eliminat.
ed, are absolutely essential
Very many furnish grain for the
fowls, but neglect to furnish meat.
Praying for eggs in winter without
trying to approximate summer condi
tions is a waste of valuable time
