SPECULATIVE TONE
In Yesterdays Stock Market Showed
INSTRUMENTATION Money
Situation Stands.

New York, Oct. 30-The speculative
tone showed unsettlement at the stock
exchange today. There were doubts
of what the bank statement. publish
ed after the market closed. would
show. New questions were raised re-
garding the foreign money position
and its probable bearing on stocks,
The determination of the Bank of
England to maintain control of the
London money market and the part
played by the political outlook in
the shaping Of that banks policy is
receiving increasing consideration.
in view of the probabilities of the
general election in January. This is
pointed out by London statistics that
the rejoined budget would involve
heavy loans to carry on the govern.
ment. Based on the present price Of
consols. this loan would be issued at
price lower, says the statistics,
than the prdsent generation ever
hitherto thought probable. And it is
quite possible, further. that new Is
sue would lead the holders of existing
stocks of all kinds to sell on great
scale for the purpose of being able %
subscribe to an issue of consols
brought out at so low prices Denial
by the president of the Amalgamated
Copper Co, of the rumored agreement
to curtail production induced reaction
from yesterdays strength IN that
group. The prevailing tone OF the
stocks is heavy The decrease ill
banking cash revealed by the bank
statement proved heavier than the
estimates, but the loan expansion Is
unimportant.

Many Of the middle western and
eastern states reported small yields

cf pests. Orchards have been neglect

have been permitted to die because Of
the lack OF even ordinary attention.

hundreds of thousands OF acres have

There will always be markets for

to produce the quantity OF good ap-

FAMILY FRUIT GARDEN
Situated Near the House Adds q
Homelike Air.

Homelike Air.
Fruits are not valuable In the diet
because Of the actual amount of nu-
triment which they contain, but be-
cause of the aid that they give to d.
gestion They assist materially in a
healthy intestinal action, and their
use In greater abundance will result
in better health for the family. and to
a considerable extent reduce the cost
of living.
Moreover, in these days we hear
much about various preservatives
which are put into many of the can
ned goods sold on the market. If
fruit is canned and preserved at home
this danger will be obviated, and
leave it to any one who appreciates
something good to eat whether the
marmalades, iellies and preserves
made in the farmers own kitchen, by
his wife or daughter, are not superior
to anything which can usually be pur-
chased in the stores.

which every farmer should have in
mind. Too frequently the fences about
the home are broken down, and their
places taken by masses of weeds and
briars, while the last coat of paint on
the house was probably put there a
considerable time since by Messrs.
Sun, Wind and Weather. These things
should not be, and the presence of a
well-tilled block of fruit trees ada
cent to the house, certainly assists in
making the surroundings homelike
and cheerful.
So says bulletin issued by the
North Carolina State board OF agri-
culture. Does the rapid increase in

Hen Manure in the Garden.

Hen manure is strong in nitrogen
aid should be used with care. If you
have stable manure 1t is best to mix
the droppings of the poultry with il,
II you must use it alone, put II on
asparagus, rhubarb, lettuce or any Of
the plants that are grown for top.
DO not use it in large quantities on
plants grown for root or fruit with
out adding some potash or you are
likely TO have more top than is need
ed. A friend of mine used it on
strawberry vines and ruined the crop.
II 1t is not to be mixed with other
material, a good way to apply it Is to
work it into the soil before the seed
is sown, then add wood ashes, Do
not mix the manure and ashes, as the
result is setting free of the nitro
