STOCKS n BONDS.

New York, March 23.-The ultra con-
sentative attitude toward the stock market
Of both the financial community and the
investing public has seldom been illus
trated SO clearly as by the course OF
business on the stock exchange today.
Stocks barely moved. The volume OF
trading was almost the smallest Of any
day Of the year. Large operators took
no decided position in the market and
price changes for the day were negligible.
All this fits in with the present DISPOSE
ton Of the street which is to wait for
something to happen. To the constant
uncertainty as to the time Of important
court decisions there is now added as a
restraining force the near approach of the
time OF the new Congress to assemble.
Wall Street is completely in the dark az
to what, il anything is TO be attempted i'll
the way Of tariff revision. Brokers' agree
however, that the stock market proper IL
in a fairly good condition; that liquida-
ton has been thorough and that the short
interest is large enough to act as q prop.
From all appearances however the more
powerful fnanciers are opposed to any
severe unsettlement at the present. They
still have new financing to accomplish and
probably large holdings Of stocks which
are to be marketed sooner or later. Among
these same interests there is noticeable
an attitude which. If it bespeaks caution
ut the same time is not wanting in con
tidence in the future. Continued ease OF
money, record breaking exports. our huge
total Of credits abroad, the facility with
which capital has been obtained aud is
still. obtainable, all favor the stock mar
ket. Arrayed on the opposing side are
political uncertainties and the genera
slowness OF trade.
Missouri Pacific showed n intention
Of settling down. Northern Pacific was
weak. Some OF the bank stocks were un.
| usually active at considerably highe,
| figures, Il movement which perhaps fore
| shadows the reported project contemplate
ing closer union of interests among some
Of the largest banks. February railroaG
| reports began TO come in today. Gross
earnings Of twenty-eight railroads for thu
| second week of this month showed a de
! crease Of 4 per cent from the correspond.
ing period OF last year. Another indtca'
| ton as to the present status OF the roads
| was revealed by the output of steel pro
| duets for February, showing that the Uni
| ted States Steel corporation delivered tt
| the railroads only about one-fifth OF tn
normal percentage.
That the continued slow movement O
trade has not affected the American Tele
phone and Telegraph Company was shown
in the net earnings for last year which
increased 81, 742.OOO

HUMUS IN ORCHARD SOIL.

The hu1nus lOoSens the soil particles
which. in turn increases its water ca
pacity. The humuS is essential for
the growth OF the beneficial bacteria
OF the soil. one Of the most import

its ability to change chemically the
