MONEY MARKET IMPROVING
ASSOCIATED Press)


NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Distrust of
the artificial character of the present
market practically killed speculative
interest and threw the dealings al
most into stagnation. Tentative sell
ing operations at the outset seemed de-
signed mainly to test that market.
Rapid declines which resulted were
in contrast with the ease with which
prices advanced in previous sessions
in response to concentrated buying or
ders from few sources. The test was
regarded as establishing that no genu-
inc active participation was going on
in the dealings. No aggressive at
tempt was made to renew the advance
and last prices were only a little above
the lowest.
Discussion of earnings in relation
to dividend requirements of the spring
wheat grangers and of New York Cen
trail was more substantial influence
and was reflected in the special weak
ness of these stocks.
The strong weekly return of the Bank
of England showed the extent of the
improving money market position.
There were heavy payments as well
to the Imperial Bank Of Germany and
the Bank of France.
Sales are being made in the New
York market of moderate issues Of
new bonds, but at terms which Imply
continued lightness of investment de-
mand and the necessity for extra at
fractions as an inducement Success
was reported for an offering of Kansas
City terminal four per cent at 81 and

general mortgage bonds were sold to
bankers to bear four per cent, pre-
vious issues under this mortgage haV-

One-third of the days business was
done in United States Steel and an
other third in Union Pacific.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales par

When Potatoes win Freeze.

Fort Collins.-As Colorado is being
settled by corn growers, many OF
whom do not realize their need to
learn new ways when they become po.
tato growers, it is distressing to see
so many Of them regard the time Of
potato harvest as optional, somewhat
like corn husking or beet harvest says
C. T. Fitch, Colorado Agricultural
College. The experience of years has
established dates past which it is dan.
gerous to leave potatoes in the ground
subject to heavy frost losses. Waiting
for potatoes to ripen is not wise; it is
better to devise ways to ripen the ear
lier another season and save what is
on hand this time. At 1000 to 5000
feet altitude October 1st is about the
danger line and October 10th Is very
risky for the completion of potato
field work. At Greeley, Colorado, the
leases used to read October goth, but
the growers feel safer to be done sew
eral days sooner, as damage has oc-
Cured on the 10th. Lower still, about
Julesburg, for instance, October goth
is quite safe. Old growers recognize
these limits of safety. New ones will
do well to adopt them.
