membefed that it is hard to dissolve
blue stone and it should therefore be
placed in water a long time before
the liquid is to be used. Soaking
balls OF Irvine in kerosene has also
been suggested, though we have not
tried it.
According to law passed by the
legislature in 1903 a farmer can be
made to pillow land which is so infested
with grasshoppers as to be menace
to other farmers as we'll as to himself.
Complaint of infested land should be
made to the state entomologist or to
the board of county commissioners.
The entomologist examines the land,
and if the conditions justify it, he
reports to that effect to the board of
county commissioners, who serve a
notice upon the holder or lessee Of
infested land, requesting him to pillow
within certain time If he fails to
do this, the county plows his land,
and it such blowing benefits him
materially in the raising of crops, the
county sues him to recover money thus
expended. Complaints OF this kind
should be made in the fall.
If blowing is not done in the late
fall it might be done with safety,
where possible, before the 18th or 9Th
Of May, which would be effective in
ordinary seasons.
The state entomologist, where it
is absolutely necessary to assist
farmers against this pest, will either
visit them personally, or send an
assistant The state enables him to
help them also in other ways in con-

occasion demands T..

sums required to operate them. there Stocks of this class suffered most se- Verely in the ruthless liquidation of the last few months. Usually they are sup ported by buying orders in sufficient volume to absorb all offerings in ordi- nary times and thus protect their se- curity as collateral in loans. When panic ruled in New York, however, all such customary safeguards were swept away many points at time on mar keting of small supplies. Now that the strain of such selling is past it is found possible to mark the prices up wards by successive bids with great facility as very small accounts are brought out for sale by the advance. The evidence of selling to take profits when any sustaining influence in the market offered favorable opportunity created some suspicion of the rise il prices which has occurred and of the reports which have been put in circu- lation to account for them.
 Professions were still made to-day with great earnestness and appearance of entire confidence that a large ex- tra dividend on Northern Pacific had been determined upon, although it was admitted that a meeting intended to act on the matter had been postponed No official information could be se- cured either on the intended meeting or the alleged postponement and the subject was thus kept within the realm of speculative chances. The stock was quite steadily sold all day with ulti- mate decisive effect on the tone of the whole market Evidences of the rapid improvement in the money situa- tion continued to manifest themselves but they were not so stimulating to the speculation as they were yesterday The speculative realizing proved the dominant factor in the days market and the stocks that were most active showed majority of declines at the end of the day. Rumors of an intended application for a receiver for one of the smaller western grain carrying railroads was factor in the late re. action in the market.

The market had many appearances of manipulation, for which reason traders were inclined to take the short side in leading issues which had had the sharpest rise. The bidding up of the high-priced coalers is a very old Idea. It often means that other stocks are being distributed under cover of their advance. Anyway, it is an old saw that when the coalers rise sharp E the general market has culminated.

jackson, Miss, July 11.-Perhaps
the most serious matter now before
the Mississippi Railroad Commission is
the petition of the Western Union Tel

continue 152 of its smaller offices in

to figures submitted to the commits

deal of money every month.

at great financial loss, while on the
other hand it is fully realized that the
minute any action is taken toward dis
continuing the offices a great storm
of protest will come up from citizens
in 152 different towns, which would
make more trouble for the commits
sion than one would care to have
heaped upon them.
In fact a. very healthy bunch of pro-
tests have already been filed on the

There can be no doubt that such
action would work great hardship on
a large number of business men whose
business is more or less dependent
upon prompt telegraphic service, many
of whom, no doubt, have taken up their
present location at telegraph offices
when, had they suspected their dis
continuance would not have launched
their business there.
