day Sun-Rich Soil Needed
The essential conditions for success
with the pansy are cool, half shaded
place and a rich, friable soil. The
pansy is a cool loving plant and does
best where shaded from the MONDAY
sun.
If the seed pods are kept cut away
the plants may be carried through the
summer and good crop Of flowers Sc
cured again in the fall.
To secure early flowers the seed
should be sown in a cold frame or
window box in November, or they
may be started in September and
transplanted to the permanent bed in
time to reroot before winter. AT the
approach of winter the bed should be
mulched with straw or pine needles to
protect the plants from heaving and
thawing.
The pansy has been greatly improv-
ed in recent years, and some of the
present market strains are very fine.

today's conference was in reference to
the question of freight rate increases.
On his return to the capital tonight
President Taft declined to discuss the
railroad bill or the railroad situation.
He acknowledged that President Ripley
of the Santa Fe was to call at the
White House probably tomorrow,
bringing with him the heads of several
other big systems. when the railroads
side of the question will be explained

TRADERS PROFIT
BYCROP PROSPECTS
i...larm in Wall Street Caused by
Railway Iniunctions Fol-
lowed by Confidence
Approach of Harvest Points to
Necessity of Credit Con-
traction in East


NEW YORK, June 5.-The injunction
obtained by the attorney general
against the proposed increase in west
ern trunk line freight rates last week
threw the stock market into consterna-
tion.
from all quarters have been as clamor-
Gus from the railroads as from any
others. and the recent advances in
wages have been used as a text on
which to base claims for increased COM
pensation.
Speculation in stocks has been based
on expected benefits of rate advances
ever since notice of the intended in
creases were filed with the interstate
commerce commission in April. 1t is
also said that the sales of railroad
bonds abroad were due to the prospect
of those higher freight charges and
that other sales will he prevented
Rumors of cancellation of orders for
railway equipment and of iayfng off OF
railroad employees show the direction
in which other disadvantages were eX-
pected.
The sensation caused by the late in
junction proceedings obscured for a
time the supreme court decisions in the
Missouri river and the Denver rate
cases, but railroad men say that the
power thus affirmed for the commerce
commission to fix the rates affected
threatens a revolution in present meth
DDS of apportioning charges.
The approach of the harvest centered
attention on the money situation and
pointed to the necessity of credit con-
traction to prepare for the coming de-
mands to move the crops.
Liquidation. not only in stocks, but
in grain and cotton was prompted by
these prospective requirements as much
as by apprehension of fall in intrinsic
values.
Liquidation in commodities found an
incentive as we'll in the improving
promise of crops. Backwardness of
spring wheat and corn has not impaired
confidence in the ultimate abundant
yield.
The basic Importance of the good
crop prospect helped to give the stock
market some resisting power at the
lower stages of the price movement.
The abrupt decline carried prices head
long to the lowest level of the year for
the leading railroad stocks, and this
fact also was held to be significant of
the extent to which unfavorable factors
in the outlook had been already dis
counted.
