t'rom ne Arizona Republican.
 Sahuara cactus for telephone and tele- graph poles is the latest idea and one that Is to be tried out. It sounds plausible and it is believed that it will be more economical than the old style of poles. Its test is the come from Tucson.
 The government is to build telephone system for the forestry service of the Coronado Forest Reserve. The first of these lines to be built out of Tucson is to be used into the Catalinas, and it is there that the Sahuan experiment. is to be tried.
 The giant cacti will not be sawed off and set up nor will they be transplanted, but the growing plant will be used as a pole where it is. found in what approaches alignment, so that the line will not have to zgzagl too much, the Sahuara up in the canons through which the line will pass are to be utilized for the purpose of attaching brackers to which the wires will be fastened. And the secret is out.
 Along the proposed line it is difficult to set poles, owing to the rocky nature of the country traversed Not only is this the case, but it is difficult to get the poles up there in the hills to set while the Sahuaras are right there in many in stances, and while not at uniform dis tance, this is not considered important.

FROST FORCES
 COTTON DOWN The Market Closes Steady at a Small Net
 Advance

New York. October 16.-Predictions of frost in the western belt and rather less active southern selling inspired more or less general covering in the local cot ton market today and while rallies from the recent low records were not fully sustained, the close was steady at net advance of 2@14 points. Late months were relatively firm.
 The market opened steady at de- cline of points to an advance of 1 point and showed an advancing tendency frcm the start, owing to poorer cables than expected and the outlook for colder weather in the southwest. Leading spot people were sellers of the near months and January sold at Sc doing the progress Of the call, or right afterward, but failed to break into new low ground and following the publication of the western belt forecast for frost in parts of Okla homa and Texas prices shot up sharply with active months selling IS to % points above the closing figures of Saturday. Around 9.f3c for December and 9.33c for January the upward movement was checked by heavier southern offerings, while the demand from shorts became less urgent and fluctuations later In the day were nervous and irregular with the close some 15 or % points off from the best, Shorts were very heavy buyers during the day and if anything it seemed that the south was a less active seller here than had been anticipated by local bears last week. While comparatively few reports were received regarding the interior spot and southern spot markets, those officially reported showed a steadier tone in most cases and in several in stances slight advance. Rains were fore casted for the belt as well as lower temperatures, but the outlook for rain seemed to make little Expression on sentiment and local readers of the wealth CT map appeared fairly confident that the temperatures would not work low enough during the cold snap to kill the plants. Private cables from Liverpool reported heavy offerings of actual on opening decline there, followed by a sharp rally on covering, probably on the cold weather talk.
 Receipts at the ports today [ 900 bales, against 720o0 last week. and 77.1s5 last year. For the week 450,o00 bales, against AS, ,2S6 last week, and 449,22S last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 7255 baies against 92I1 last year

PRICE OF WHEAT
 SHOWS NET GAIN Supply Goes Beyond Sixty Million for First Time
 Since 1901

Chicago. October 16-Although today for the first time since 1901 the visible supply of wheat in the United States went beyond to, OOO,OoO bushels, the price of the cereal made net gain of 14@1ac.
 The chief reason for the advance was that world sshipmsnts of the week were much less than expected Corn finished a shade to hc higher, but oats at six teenth to Ac decline.
 Hog products varied from Dc off to 15c up.-
 Not only were world shipments of wheat more than 5,0OO,0OO bushels under the total fer the corresponding time a year ago, but the supplies afoat had decreased 100000 bushels in the last seven days. and were 12.0Oo 600 bushels beneath the aggregate in 1910
 On the other hand, the effect of the huge piling up of stocks in the United States had been largely discounted and to considerable extent was offset by a decidedly improved cash demand. Never theIess the remarkable size of the total amount of wheat Immediately available
  porary setback, and caused an unsettled feeling. The close, however, was at near ly the top point of the session.
 December fuctuated from 9s7sc to 9ee and s9asc to 99lac, with last sales 1ac net higher at 99ssc.
 Rainy weather and fear of more brought about the upturn in corn. Light ness of worlds shipments and of supplies on passage counted also in favor of the bulls December ranged from 64lsc and 64lkc, closing steady 14c up at 64as@64]9c Cash grades were only in fair demand No. ? yellow was quoted at 72d7219c.
 Liquidating sales by longs carried down oats. There was fair buying on the de- cline with most of the purchasing due to cereal concerns. High and low leveis reached by the December option were 47% and 47Ssc. The close, 471sd479sc,' was a shade lent lower, compared with Sat urday.
 Liberal exports helped lift provisions. Pork closed 10c to 15c higher, lard Dc of to 21ha5c up and ribs at 212c to 712c up.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, October 16.-(SpeciaD. On the decline this morning in Liverpool the large merchants there bought freely in expectation of substantial reaction and with this idea in mind they sent many advices to this side advocating purchases.
 Therefore our market opened steady t only small decline and advanced some 30 points before the reaction stopped the market finally closed steady at about 10 points better than Saturday. Temper atures slightly below the freezing pont in the Rocky mountains accompanied by a high barometer caused the govern ment to predict frost in northwestern Texas ana possibly western Oklahoma. It was tlfls prediction which led to the heavy buying by Wall street houses who were again supplied by selling orders from the south. A portion of these pur- chased were supposed to represent invest ment buying about the first the market has seen this season. Liverpool should be points tomorrow.

From the Kennebec Journal.
 Washington countys blueberry crop has netted this year revenue of more than $1,000,000, according to State Horticulturist Albert K. Gardner of Rockland.

A man near Cherryfield is said to have raked blueberries from the vines just as cranberries are gathered It is stated that fabulous prices are paid for rental of blueberry lands and blueberry factories and the canning fac tories are still running.
