STOCKS STRONGER
Apprehension Over Standard Oil De.
cision Seemed to Have Dis
appeared Yesterday.

New York, Nov 6.-Apprehension
over the Standard Oil decision which
unsettled the stock market the pres
ent week, seems TO have almost en-
tirely disappeared. The prices of
Americans lifted smartly in the Lon
don Thanksgiving interval. New York
accepted the altered appraisement
this mornig and added to the gains
during the day, The volume of those
transactions was not large and the
speculative tone somewhat subdued as
an aftermath of the anxieties of the
earlier part of the week.
The abatement of uneasiness over
the effects of the Standard Oil de-
cision was due largely to the revival
of credence in the copper consolida-
ton project. Constant gatherings Of
influential copper men with bankers
credited with the authorship of the
project fosters the belief in the CON
tinued efforts to organize combine
on the lines of the steel corporation.
Large new capital requirements to
be met shortly and the belief that
other issues of stocks and bonds I'M.
pend causes the expectation that the
money market is likely to be held at
tension by these requirements after
the usual period of relaxation. Es-
Inmates of the weeks currency move
ment show decided reafiux of funds
from the interior to New York with
the waning of the crop movement.
The high premium to which New
York exchange at Chicago has risen
was a forerunner of this shomwing,
the balance in favor of New York
having run, apparently over $4,000
600.
The sudden rise in Rock Island
bonds secured by Frisco stocks as
collateral gave confederation to the
rumors of the coming dissertation of
these projects. Prices Of all securi-
ties concerned rose on this prospect.

puN,s WEEKLY REVIEW.

Favorable industrial conditions re
main unchanged and new production
is preceding at an enormous rate Al
through the west the talk of the peo-
pie concerned things actually pro
duced and wealth created from the
soil. Warm weather checked the ar
tivity in some mercantile lines, and
thigh prices and speculative develop
ments work unfavorable in others
This gives a superficial impression Of
a pause in business revival But the
basic facts still point to a remarkable
industrial expansion.
Orders for steel products are even
greater than the remarkable tonnage,
booked in October, With a new
higher basis for cotton prints, effected
during the week, a somewhat smaller
volume of business by jobbers than is
customary is reported The demand
for woolens and worsteds continue
|active, especially in the west. The
footwear business is larger than any
time in two years. Leather continues
strong. Domestic hides are steady,
notwithstanding that the quality is
growing poorer.

For several years past the sheepmen
of the southwest have suffered serious
losses from disease known among the
Mexican herders as "pingue."
"Pingue" is popularity supposed to be
caused by eating either the leaves or
roots of a plant which has in the last
few years been quite prominent in the
public eye as the rubber plant" or
rubber weed"
Whether this plant is a true rubber

If you undertake to harvest the clo-
yer crop in the old-fashioned way
to cut it and stir the thick spots by
hand, rake in windows, shock it up,
load it on wagons by hand, fork it
into the barn and stack by hand-you
will find, if you have very much hay,
that it has taken too much time.
The best way to harvest clover that
have ever tried is with the side de-
livery rake and hay loader, with hay
fork in the barn, or derrick if put in
the stack.
Start your mower and then your
rake, which goes around the same
way the mower goes; as soon as your
hay has cured enough throw two five
foot swaths together. which makes
about the right sized windrow in
clover that makes two tons to the

It is generally conceded that either
a superphosphate or superphosphate
and potash is the most economical Ter
tilizer to use on wheat.
My experience here is that GOOD
grade superphosphate alone gives bet
ter results than the superphosphate
and potash when applied to wheat. l
prefer it to the phosphate and potash
If they cost the same money, but the
potash added also adds from So to "a
per ton to the price of the goods.
II may be that it will pay to buy the
potash in some localities, but l feel
sure that it does not pay here.
The superphosphate hastens the ma
turity of the crop and thus lessons tne
danger from loss by rust and other
diseases which injure the wheat crop.
1t helps to make nice plump grains
since the phosphoric acid is found prln-
cipally in the grain of the crop.
In comparing prices it is necessary
