N6E IUlh. regular weather and crop
reports and seasonable
shutdOwns for repairs and inventories
have tended to limit the turnover OF
the week. Too much rain in the West
has retarded trade in that section, and
from the South similar reports come.
In the Central West, the East and
Southwest, however, trade is of full
volume, with good retail distribution.
The sharp advance in raw cotton has
had rather stimulating effect on
Southern trade sentiment, though in
dicating smaller than expected yields.
the feeling being that higher prices
will offset reduced production. The
advance in raw cotton has stimulated
inquiry for cotton goods, which have
been generally advanced to 10 per
cent, and buyers complain of deliv-
cries. Wool has strengthened, and the
market for footwear, though quiet, has
shown the effect of present high prices
of leather and the highest prices for
hides in years. Building material of
all kinds reflects the demands of a
record year in this respect. Pig iron
has been dull and moved lower, but
heavy finished products have been in
good call.
Labor is well employed, and the
signing of the new tin plate scale re-
moves the only important threatening
feature in industrial lines, which re-
port no important strikes occurring.
Railway earnings continue large, the

STORING ROOT CROPS.
and Other Roots Is EARTH
Covered Pots.

The practice CT storing winter pota-
toes in pits, or rather in earth-coyered
heaps, is quite prevalent, and the
method is as follows: A dry, sheltered
spot is selected, layer of straw put
upon the ground, and a conical heap
Of potatoes laid upon the straw. Any
desired number of bushels may be
placed in the heap, but in case Of q
large number, the heap should be
ridge-shaped instead of round. The
potatoes are covered with six or eight
inches of straw, On which is placed
layer of earth five or six inches in
depth. A second layer Of straw is then
used, on which is placed second layer
Of earth, which is made smooth and
firm. If a large quantity are to be
stored in this manner, it is we'll to
allow some of the straw to project at
the top, whether the heap be round
or long, in order to afford ventilation.
III extremely cold weather the heap is
covered with litter of coarse stable ma
nu1e, as potatoes are likely to be in
jured by freezing and thawing. Some
times an excavation is made a foot or
more in depth, so the potatoes are in
part unaer ground. Unless care and
good judgment are exercised, there Is
likely to be damage resulting from ex-
cessive cold, on the one hand, or un-
reasonably warm weather on the other.
