Spinsters and Widows of Massachu-
sets to Work Land.
To put the 100000 surplus spin
sters and widows of Massachusetts
profitably to work on tracts of land
near the large cities is the scheme of
the Women's Homestead Association.
1t is planned to have the petticOated
agriculturists raise flowers, herbs,
mushrooms, berries, vegetables,
chickens, bees and even pigs to meet
home demand.
On the point of women's chances
OF success in garden occupations
there are ample precedents.
OF women farmers there were in
the United States at the time of the
last census over 100000; of women
laborers nearly half a million, most
OF whom We're in the southern states
and of the negro race. In France
nearly 100000 women are engaged
in farm work. Out of the European
peasantry have come the 5000 wo-
men farmers and farm labOrers who
can be found on the truck farms of
Long Island and Connecticut within
easy distance of New York.
With the homestead plan succeed
ing Massachusetts women will face
a more grateful means of sustenance
than that provided through ordinary
charitable forms of outdoor relief. 3"

GRAIN GOES UP
ON STOCK REPORT

NEW YORK, Sept. s.-The speculative
temper still showed itself highly sensitive
TO news from the bedside of E. H. Harri-
man and the various price fluctuations OF
stocks during the day were faithful re-
Elections of the advices which filtered
through from Arden. The news was ex-
ceedingly meager, much of it vaguely out
lined and some of it contradictory The
price movement therefore was confused.
The limited volume of the transactions sug-
gested that large operators are keeping out
of the market until it finds its level. The
shifting tide of the market made 1t ideal
for trading purposes for those who were
agile enough to follow il and few trad
ers by working in and out many times,
contributed much to the apparent volrne
following the process once described by
Mr. Hartman as selling in circle.
That the condition of the sick hnancier
was regarded as grave was obvious from
the close attention paid to all news on the
subject and from the disposition among
financial associates TO recognize the fact
with more candor speaking for publication.
The character of the crop news for some
time has paved the way for the poor show
ing of the government crop report. The
fact that both corn and wheat advanced
after the publication of the report was
taken as evidence that the previous rise
in prices had not adequately discounted the
falling off in condition of and spring
wheat. The heavy deterioration in corn
during August serves to impair the hopes
of bumper crop and the spring wheat con-
dition at the harvest gives point to recent
warnings from James ]. Hill against over
estimating that crop.
The growing money requirements of the
interior are reflected in demands on the
New York banks and in the falling off in
the offerings of bank notes for current re-
demption. The srbtreasury in New York
is again drawing large sums from the
banks.
