NEW YORK March 3O-Such news
as 'was supplied to the stock market
today was not calculated to improve
Its tone or prices, even If the selling
movement which took place were not
related to the days developments. OF
course, the two dominating factors in
Wall street at this time, as at most
times. are money and crop prospects.
So far as money Is concerned, very
much is dependent upon the necessities
! of the London market. and there is
rather even division of opinion now
as to whether or not a further advance
In the Bank of England's discount rate
should be regarded as immediate or
pending.
Meanwhile the indications are, from
the course of foreign exchange. which
rose TO new high levels for the year to-
4S7.65 before midday, that gold export
movement of greater or less dimension
may be inaugurated from this side next
month. AS 1t happens, the money out
look is not necessarily one to induce the
sale of securities, but it hardly furnishes
encouragement for new long commit
ments except as stocks are offered at
prices on which satisfactory dividend
Yields are returned. As for the crop year.
il Is altogether too early in the spring
to form anything like conclusions, but
sentiment has been depressed by the I'M
seasonable weather SO far this month
and the great lack of moisture in the as
ricultural regions.

Even where the cattle tick remains, steps can
be taken, Of course, to overcome the difficulty:
and everywhere in the South there are golden op-

ers and feeders and hogs and steers as the men
on the trains in and out OF New York talk about

more towns like this. When the farmers begin
to talk of cattle prices instead of cotton prices
the change from land-robbng to land-building

FVTERf FEW of us. indeed. have any adequate
wv realization of what good poultry well cared
for might add 10 the returns from South
ern farms. With eggs at 35 cents a Dozen hens
at 8 and turkeys at 90 cents pound there is
surely money in poultry. Even II these abnormal
ly high prices do continue there is little dan
ger that they Will soon get low enough not to
give the producer a handsome profit. The fear OF
an oversupply of poultry products no longer trou-
bies any thoughtful person. For the last two or
three decades there has been n steady increase in
the prices paid for poultry and eggs as compared
with other foods of similar nature and the de-
mand keeps on increasing

how TO make a brooder, how to sell your surplus
