It was about an hour after the opening that stocks began to rise rapidly, with Union Pacific and Southern Pacific in the lead Tn both of these stocks, trans actions were very large The rise was everywhere ascribed to covering by large outstanding short interest of professional traders. It was not a new thrush of the outside public, The days first buying orders were from large operators who are often employed to bid prices up on the bears and bring about a stampede. These were mostly of the "S2 a hun dred" sort. The rather violent pace reached In the recovery during the closing hour naturally caused more or less recasting of calculations, The real question was admitted to be, whether this was merely the auto matic and temporary rebound which always follows continuous break In which short selling has been heavy.

Citizens Bank Pa1sdes
Safe and Rohcy

In looking over the Citizens Bank
statement as rendered to the State
Auditor, we find some very fattering
items worthy of mention. The bank
owes no money and their cash reserve
is considerably above the legal re-
quirements. Our readers will doubt
less note that. the reserves of this
bank are somewhat lower than in some
of the previous statements. An officer
of this institution explains as a rea-
son for this that his directors feel
that the panic has passed. and that
in the improving times they should
loan a part of their money and there.
by relieve the strain. This gentle
man also tells us that his bank has
been pursuing this policy for thirty
days. In this the Daily News feels
that they have hit the keynote, in that

by lending monies from its heavy re-
sources they are doing their share
to relieve the financial strain and if
all the banks throughout the country
would now pursue the same policy it
would be a mighty step forward to
place the nation back to its normal
condition.
We have noticed for some time that
the policy of this bank is to first make
safety for the depositors who have
their money with them, and then to
be prepared at all times to meet the
reasonable requirements of their Gus
toners.
In conclusion we wish to congratu-
late the management of the Citizens
Bank for their LIBERAL yet safe policy,
throughout the entire depressed condi-
tions in the country, covering a pc
riod of about four months.

Says Friend Set Trap

If Bessie Melvin is to be believed,

to work measly trick on her.

police court yesterday morning
charged with trespassing on the prop

cupied house belonging to Mr.. Lovett
without his permission or consent and
failed or refused to pay. rent thereon.
From the statement given ins the po-
lice court yesterday morning by the
Melvin negress it appears that one of
her chums asked her to stay in the
house for few days and take care of
the things until she returned from a

that, although she wasn't responsible
for it, she had intended to pay for the
time she had been in the house as
soon as she could raise the money,
but in the meantime had been ar

to the court that her erstwhile friend

parties that she had left on purpose

NEW YORK.

Improvement in sentiment and in &C
tual demand continues, but it proceeds
under the check rein of conservatism,
which limits buying to small lots OF
staple goods. Spring jobbfng trade has
apparently passed its zenith with a total
trade larger perhaps than was expected
ONE months ago, but smaller by far than
a year ago. Fall trade is four to six
weeks late in opening up. As hitherto,
the chief activity has been in dry goods
and allied lines, especially millinery,
which, so far as spring trade prepara-
tons are concerned, makes relatively one
of the best showings. In industrial lines
there is a good deal of irregularity. About
$4,000 mill hands in New England have
had wages reduced in the past ten days,
and production is only 65 to rs per cent
of the full possible output. The reduc-
ton In output in all textile lines has
been so great as to cause question as to
its being %overdone. As regards the fu-
ture, 1t might be said that while the out
look Is hopeful, prospects seem to indi-
cate a %fuctuating trade in Forthcoming
months, or at least until probable crop
yields can be pretty well measured.

How to M~aintain the Fert1llty.

How to Maintain the Fertility.
1t is a noted fact that where legumes
are grown on land, say two-ffths of
the time, which certainly should be the
case, the nitrogen supply is held. 1t is
also we'll known that the feeding Of
the crops grown on the same farm, the
proper care of the barnyard mi
and its application to the lands, will
return all the. fertilizing ingredients
with the exception of such as compose
the animal body, and such other prod
ucts as wool, cheese inc butter as are
sold from the farm. They are actually
lost to the soil forever.f This loss is
represented on phosphorus and POTASH
um compounds, and can be supplied in
three distinct ways only. They can
be purchased in the form of feeding
stuffs for farm animals, finding their
way to the soil through the azure {;
or, they may be secured directly by
commercial fertilizers; and again by
the subsoil running down to a depth Of
8 or 4 feet from the surface.
Roots of all crops go down into the
soil from 9 to 6 feet, and take directly
the ingredients from the subsoil, and
upon their decay tend to Increase it's
porosity. This assists the capillary
movements Of water. which reacts as
an agent to carry fertilizing ingredi-
ents as they become soluble in the low
err soils up to near the surface, where
they are readily available to the feed
'ng roots of succeeding crops.

CHICAGO.

Trade conditions in Chicago for the
week are summarized by r. G. Dun 4
70. as follows:
-seasonable conditions nave Impaired
= more hopeful tone to industry, and new
demands make an improving exhibit in
ron steel, metal and woodworking, there
oe!ns also steady additions to the ma
cnlnery and hands employed. Building
operations and heavy construction open
promptly, the work in sight assuring a
busy year, with heavy capital investment,
n the outlook strengthens the buying
OF structural needs, lumber and quarry
products. Navigation between nearby
lake ports is effected, thereby widening
the general movement of freight, which
aggregates heavier tonnage by rail than
4 month ago. although marketing of grain
has slackened. Farm reports indicate
widespread preparatory work and i'm.
provements.
"A healthy indication of the improve.
ment under way is a better offering Of
commercial paper and an easier tendency
IN the cost of money. Currency ship
ments to the interior have fallen behind
those at this time last year, but larger
sums are being reserved for use in man
ufacturing and other property extensions,
while savings deposits are ON the upturn.
Few commodities disclose any significant
decline in prices.
Mercantile collections generally reflect
increasing promptness, and credits are
less disturbed by the lower commercial
mortality this week. Retail trade pro-
crosses encouragingly, and is relatively
very good at outside points, where higher
temperatures have prevailed. Wholesale
dealings in the principal staples include
a very satisfactory gain in the number
OF new accounts, and the aggregate sales
OF textiles, footwear, men and women's
wear, food products and hardware COM
pare favorably with a year ago, although
many buyers anticipated forward require
ments more conservatively.
Failures reported in the Chicago dis
trict number 30, against 30 last week

EOme ,nnde Post or Well Driver.
y Posts may be driven with speed and
economy on many farms, If we'll sharp
ened and the right method is followed.
A real post driver is one of the most
easily made things and one of the
most useful that n farmer can get up.
Uprights are bOlted across to a sled,
or a rough plank sled may be made for
the purpose.
The standards may be 10 or 10 feet
high. To them is bolted n cross bar
which supports the hoist for the
weight. For this a block of iron or
lead weighing not less than % pounds
must be obtained, and it must have Il
staple or ring in it so it may be lifted.
The post is placed where it is to be
driven and the weight lifted and al
lowed to fall on it. A little practice
will enable n to drive posts in soil
that seems too hard. The rig is useful
also{in putting down driven wells.
To drive a we'll 1A-inch pipe is pre-
ferred. The lengths should noth be
over 6 feet. The first pipe to be driven
must ave q point of iron or steel.
Any blacksmith who is an expert at
welding can readily make a point solid
in the end of the pipe, and then bore
numerous A-inch holes in it for the
first Is inches of it's length above the
point. Before driving 4 coupling must
be screwed down tight and fast on the
thread that is to connect it to its mate,
so the thread may not be injured. Also
on top Of this coupling must always
rest a block of lead or seasoned hick-
DRY, to receive and distribute the n
c%ussion, to preserve the pipe from de-
struction.
The pipe Is driven. the same as a
