with the chances that staples will be
the theme for the remainder OF the sea-
son. The mild. pleasant weather docs
not help any In heating goods. many
retailers handling a limited number Of
stoves, not desiring to lay In sizcable
stocks. but ordering az their stocks
are depleted. When really cold wealth
err comes. considerable general activity
IS anticipated.
LUMBER.
The lumber trade reports quiet
week also. with market remaining
firm, and money slow for the last co
days. Large buyers are reported slow
in settling with the jobbers. but small
dealers do not seem to be troubled that
way. but pay promptly. The car
shortage situation continues unchanged.
The cement situation continues un-
changed.
WHOLESALE DRY GOODS TRADE.
The wholesale dry goods trade locally
reports steady calls on general lines.
the continued pleasant weather exert
ing it's influence In keeping things down
to a quiet level and preventing much
being done with strictly winter goods.
Cottons continue firm. with upward
tendencies, and an occasional advance.
A marked advance is reported in bur-
laps, which have been tending higher
for the last two weeks.
Burlaps have been the lowest in years.
but the expected reaction has come,
and prices are to range higher. Job
bers report the general market as i'm
proving, with trade broadening and
prices steadily rising. Stocks are
found to be smaller than buyers thought
possible. Light weight shectings are
scarce. with ticlsings. denims and vari-.
Gus other fabrics commanding rather
lofty figures: and the same may be
said of print cloths. Blenched goods
are active. manufacturers and dis
tributors buying heavily. with gins-
hams wanted badly. Mapped fabrics
are In demand. while the demand for
sheer goods leaves other styles in the
surplus column. The hosiery trade
continues spotty, with deliveries slow.
All linen markets are strong. Silk mills
arc raising prices, an advance being
paid on goods In short supply. Some
lines are now 10 cents yard higher.
RETAIL DRY GOODS.
The retail dry goods trade reports
fairly good business, although tho
weather is not such as would stimulate
It, and business was not quite so good
as the previous week. Local dealers
arc being delayed in the receipt Of cer-
tain lines OF goods by the strikers OF
express wagon drivers In New York
and Jersey City. Dealers report
good demand for suits. with velvet COM
Ing into style more and more. The
demand seems to be general in all de-
partments.

AN EXTENSIVE FRUIT FARM.
The Forest Hill Fruit Farm At Its
Best Just Now

Last Tuesday for II short time we
were enabled. through the kindness
of Henry c. Smith 10 visit his fruit
farm near Barada. We were raised
on a farm; have seen a few good
orchards, but never one like this. To
stand on hill from which a large
part of the orchard of seventy acres
can be seen, a beautiful sight pre-
sents itself Never have we seen so
many trees so nearly the same size
and with so few missing. The orch
ard contains about 1000. trees and
not more than 200 have died in the
fourteen years it has been planted
Looking down the rows one wonder
that the trees are able to hold their
load of apples. Many of the limbs
are even now touching the ground.
There will be at least 5000 barrels of
apples of the finest quality in this
orchard
The ground has been cultivated un-
til but few weeds are to be seen
anu every uIOp Vi iIlOlSluIt 10 COl-
served. Only one tree noticed show
ed any signs of being bothered by
insects. The apples are of the finest
quality, showing that the man in
charge is an artist in his profession.
Mr.. Smith said that looking back at
the farm as it was fourteen years
ago, he wonders why he ever tried
to clear it up and plant ii i'll fruit.
The job was surely a big one. No
one, however, looking at the farm as
it is today, can have anything but
admiration for the courage of a.
man who will attempt to hew farm
from forest and stick to 1t until
the result is such farm as this one.
AS the population of the United
States increases, and it is doing I'll
rapidly, we will be compelled to prac-
tice intensive farming. Then will
this country come into its own.
Then will these hills, farmed as is
this one, be worth more to the owner
than the best Iowa or Illinois land
