FINANCE AND TRADE Review
WEEKLY TRADE SUMMARY
Keener Interest Manifested In Iron
and Stool With Each Pass
ind. Week.

New York.-R. G. Dun & C0.0
weekly review of trade says:
Every important development OF tke
week confirms the revival of trade,
which set in even with the tariff un1
der discussion, and which has no Vital
obstacle to oppose 1t now that the
tariff has passed both houses OF con-
gress and has become law.
A keener interest is manifested In
the iron and steel market with great
er freedom and producing interest
display more independence in making
commitments. Higher totals OF pig
iron production and other evidences
of rapid expansion appear. Numer-
Gus inquiries have been received for
orders running into 1910, but little
actual business has been done, as SELL
ers In many instances name figures
above the views consumsers. The ex-
pected advance on plates and shapes
was announced, the ruling prices now
being $1.40, Pittsburg. This reflects
the broadned demands for cars and
other equipment, one prominent rail-
road contracting for 5000 cars, while
many other order are pending.
Dry goods jobbing trade ds exapnd-
ing and among large western distrib-
utors collections are excellent and
cedit conditions sound The retail
trade is beginning to come to the
markets at the central distributing
points, but operations thus far have
been conservative
The leather market continues very

were in Boston have bought fewer
shoes than they intended, and have

but / didn't care for him-I told
him so that night" said Dolores,
blushing. 81 thought what he told
me was true, because you didn't call
or write. And when uncle decided
to move away, wouldn't let him tell
anyone where we were going be-
cause
"You thought I cared for someone
else," finished Knowlton, softly.
But there's never been anyone but
you, Dolores, and If you'll only say
you love me, why I'll be the happiest
man in the world. Will you, dear?"
Knowlton had to bend over to
catch Dolores answer, but when 1t
came it made him very happy.
"Bless the silver locket for helping
me find Dolores" he murmured, ecs-
tatically.-Boston Post.

ROSES FOR LOW WALLS.

Fronting many residences are low
walls, which can and are often made
attractive by being covered with vines
or plants. Roses are especially we'll
adapted for the purpose where the
wall supports a bank of earth, as it
SO often does. The plants should be
set in the soil, and their growth per-
mitted to run along the top Of the
wall and droop over it's face. The
Wichuraiana hybrids are particularly
well adapted for this purpose, as the
many examples of them met with so
used fully testify. They are all close
trailing kinds to great extent, and
because of this often hang so close
to wall as to appear almost like a
running vine. OF the older known
sorts Pink Roamer, Gardenia, Jersey
Beauty, Evergreen Gem and South
Orange Perfection are often met
with; and now Dorothy Perkins is
finding its place in the same way.
When planted, unless from pots,
roses of all sorts should be. given a
close pruning. All may not require
1t 10 make them live, but 1t ends in
bringing about better plants Of those
that grow; and even those from pots,
IL in a dormant state, may be well
pruned to their advantage. When in
leaf such hard pruning would be a
serious check to the plants.-Indian-
apolis News.

When the Poet Was Happy.

Bjornsen, the poet, who is now
lying seriously i'll at Christiania, was
once asked on what occasion he got
the greatest pleasure from his fame
as a poet.
His answer was: "It was when a
delegation from the Right came to
my house in Christiania and smashed
all the windows, because when they
had thus attacked me and were start
ing for home again they felt that they
ought to sing something and so they
began to sing Yes, we love this land
of ours They could do nothing else!
They had to sing the song of the man
whom they had attacked. London

HELENIUMS.

Heleniums, autumn blooming
plants, will flower in almost any gar
den where the sun can reach them
and will thrive in soil in which other
plants would scarcely exist, supply
ing the lover of cut flowers with
much useful material for vases.
There are several sorts, some, like
autumnale, growing five to six feet
high, but perhaps none is of more
service to the owner of moderate
sized garden than pumilum. They
will survive the hardest winter with
little or no protection and where
golden yellow blooms in quantity are
wanted should be given place. Eas-
lily propagated by root division.-In-

A SQUALL.

spent last summer down at West
hampton Beach, Long Island. One
bright afternoon when the sun was
shining l went with party OF six
in my brothers small sailboat to crab
and fish. We sailed over to where
the water is very deep and anchored.
We were so interested in our grabbing
we did not notice the clouds were
growing very dark. We started back
after catching only two crabs, and
when we were almost home terrible
squall came up. We anchored and
put down the sail. was very excited
and wet. In about ten minutes some
men from the house came out in a
launch and took us In. We had a
very exciting experience. - Betty

in order, but as he was whole year
older, he did not mind the work.
On the third year the. crop in the
bogs was better than for all previous
years, and Robert watched every
cranberry, as it were. with jealous
eye. When September came and it
was time to gather them, the little
bog yielded three barrels of ripe red
berries! Robert sold these with his
fathers crop at twelve dollars a bar
rel, and from the money thus earned
he had to subtract but seventy-five
cents for lead pencils. He had learned
three things-to be careful of his be-
longings, to work for an object pa

THE WEEPING MULBERRY.

The weeping mulberry is fairly
popular and frequently seen on
lawns and in parks. 1t is one of the
hardest and one of the best of weep
ing trees and may be recommended
with confidence for either sheltered
or exposed positions. Even in win
ter, when the foliage has fallen, its
distinct habit and the cheerful light
brown tint of the bark make it well
come in the landscape especially near
buildings or water. 1t thrives on any
kind Of soil and makes a very fine
growth in alluvial or sandy bottoms.

POTATO SPRAYING.

Spraying potatoes exerts an infiu-
ence over the tubers in such a way
as to greatly increase their keeping
qualities. Spraying may not abso-
lutely prevent rotting in the bin in
winter time, but-it will prove great
help.
1 have sprayed only for the early
blight. The remedy for the late
blight is the same. The early blight
produces a germ that multiplies when
the temperature gets up into the
nineties. The late blight multiplies
when we have temperature along
in the seventies with low moisture.
In my locality we don't have late
blight only about one year out of
eight, so we do not pretend to pro-
tect ourselves from it as we do in the
early blight. In the eastern part OF
Pennsylvania you have both the early
and the late blight. In growing an
early crop for early market do not
think I could recommend to you that
you spray to prevent early blight.
You will prevent it somewhat. II
might pay you and it might not.
For late blight simply use Bor-
deaux mixture composed of four parts
of copper sulphate and four pints OF
lime in fifty gallons of water. In
storing our potatoes we simply bulk
them. l find that can save potatoes
for the spring market after they get
fully ripe by putting them into cell
lars, thousands Of bushels in bulk
and they will do very little sprouting
until after the first of March.--Alvs

CULTIvATING POTATOES.

It is fine. Four days after planting

with the horse hoe, then the weeder.
] go over the piece with these tools

the plants are too large. With this
cultivation I can get larger crop
with five hundred pounds of fertilizer
than can with one thousand pounds
