(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-The early
stock market today presented graph
ic evidence that an important pro-
portion of conspicuous selling, which
carried prices downward on Monday
and again in closing dealings on
Tuesday must have been rather reck-
less operations on the short side of
the market When those sellers felt
impelled to cover their contracts to-
day they found scarcity of stocks
offering and rather mercurial up
shoot of prices resulted Almost
equally striking was the relaxed tone
of the market when the needs of un-
covered bears had been satisfied. The
days developments bearing on the
general situation were not important.
Reports of some additional mill re-
sumptions also were made a feature.
Bonds were irregular.

TURK IS GROWING
MORE PEACEFUL
CBy Associated Press.

ST PETERSBURG, Feb. 49, The
withdrawal Of Turkish troops from
the Persian territory to the west Of
Tabriz. as well as the more concilia-
tory spirit shown at Constantinople,
is regarded here as obviating the
necessity for the present OF taking
further precautionary measures on
the Turkish and Persian frontiers,
and 1t Is probable that the dispatch
of troops from the interior of Persia
to the Caucausus will be abandone1
pending further developments. Thus
the alarming statements that Russia
was concentrating a force of 10000
men for military demonstration
against Turkey can be dismissed, for
today the outlook is decidedly better
and more peaceful.

GRADING AND PACKING FRUIT.
careIessness Always Results in Lower
Prices When Marketing.

To see the way in which some fruit
reaches market, 1t is no wonder there
are farmers who say fruit growing
does not pay.
Very frequently baskets give evi.
dence from their blackened, moldy
appearance that they have been stored
in damp cellars or they show chaff
and dust of the hay loft. Such pack
ages could not bring good price for
even the choicest of fruit. Second
hand packages or those that have been
used for fruit before. are entirely un-
suitable. Besides being unsightly.
they will cause fruit to decay on the
road to market. The wood Of second
hand packages is liable to become i'm
pregnated with the spores of molds
and rots from former fruit and will
cause the speedy decay of fresh
fruit coming in contact with it.
Very frequently packages are used
which are unsuited to the nature of
the fruit, A bushel basket is poor
means for carrying and displaying del
icate, high.class fruit like peaches. A

eight to ten cents per pound for the

The most common evidence OF care
lessness on the part of the fruit grow

small specimens of fruit which almost
invariably sell at the rate paid for In

small, the large specimens being
detriment rather than otherwise. 1t is
frequent sight in the commission
houses of any of the large cities TO see
men sorting and repacking fruit care
fully, which was carelessly put up by
the farmer. The commission men pay
the farmer minimum price for the
whole package. and that is the best
that can be gotten for 1t.

much more than could be gotten for
the whole original ungraded package.
The profit for such grading which
might have gone to the farmer. natur.
ally went TO the commission merchant
who did the work.
The grower, moreover. paid the
same freight on the inferior fruit in
the package that he did on the special
grade that brought the special price
TO the commission merchant.

of Capt Delos Hayden, keeper of the
light who died February 13. and
thrilling journey of 10 miles over
treacherous ice on Lake Erie to break
the news of Hayden's death was the
terrifying experience of Joe Berner,
who 1t is feared. will become a maniac
as result of his horrible ordeal.
With eyes bulging from their sock
cts and his body almost wreck from
exhaustion, Bernor staggered into
Toledo and told his shocking story.
On Saturday. February s, Capt. Hay
den and his cousin. Joe Bernor, start.
ed for the Toledo harbor light to re-

n man named Jennings, who had been
keeping the lonely vigil with McNulty
while Capt. Hayden was in this city
for a few days visiting his invalid
wife.
Capt. Hayden was not feeling well
when he and Bernor arrived at the
lighthouse. The strenuous trip across
the ice had weakened him TO great
degree and that night he fell i'll with
pneumonia.
Upon Bernor fell the duty of being
physician and nurse. Such medicines
as he had at hand were administered.
Capt Hayden was placed in hot
bath by Bernor. who did everything
possible TO save the captains life.
His efforts proved unayailing. and
early Thursday morning Hayden ex.
pired in the arms of his trusty com
panion, with these words on his lips;

longed wait for an opportunity to
reach shore. The ice surrounding the
lighthouse was soft and mushy and
full OF air holes.

Bernor made the attempt to cross the
