POINTS.

New York, Jan 6.-Reports of fric-
ton among the leading interests of
the Rock Island Company, rumors
that Daniel G. Reid was to go abroad
and that he would retire from the
board of directors of the United
States Steel Corporation, caused
break of 71s points in the common
stock of the road yesterday and
decline of more than 3 points in the
preferred stock.
The financial district had heard
great deal anent Rock Island since
the sensational movement in the stock
fortnight ago, when it jumped from
so to 81 and back again almost in
flash, and the matter is now the sub
ject of investigation by the Stock Elk
change authorities. More recent ope-
rations in that and allied securities
have not served to allay the alarm
then created.
The rumors had it that very sedi-
Gus differences had broken out among
| those who control the property and
an open breach was limited at These
were denied in responsible quarters,
but the enormous volume of Rock Is
land Stock traded in-230,O0 shares
at steadily decreasing values-caused
many misgivings. the more SO since
much of the selling seemed to emanate
from Rock Island brokers.
Another factor was the failure of
the directors to act on the preferred
stock dividend at their meeting yes
terday. This stock has paid no divi-
dends in several years.

More Corn and Grain

More corn and grain will be want
ed for seed here In Maine this COM
ing spring than ever before known in
the history of the State 1t will be
of the utmost Importance that every
quart of corn planted and every
bushel Of the grain sown be of the
kind needed. 1t Is known by every
one needing the seed that 1t should be
grown in the locality where wanted
for planting. This Is not always
known by those who want the seed
but never should be lost sight of.
Those wanting seed the coming spring
will find they may be bothered to get
what Is needed, and for that reason
should begin their search for 1t early.
Remember corn was lost by the frost
which occurred the morning Of the
last day of August. Such a calamity
Is not usual but does occur at times in
our State. This was the case last
year and certain individuals lost their
crop in consequence. The season is
starting more fayorably this year and
If one gets a favorable start with his
seed he probably will fare better
than last year
Other seeds will be wanted and
those in need cannot be too early in
laying in their full wants. Our sea-
sons are likely to be short and no one
can be too early in selecting the seed
he desires to plant. Be particular to
get seed grown near the locality
where wanted for planting This is
important whatever the crop to be
grown.-Mane Farmer.
