FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
EXPORT OF GOLD.
Engagement of $20Oo,ooo Bars fc
 Paris Feature of Market.

New York, Feb, 9,--After two days of rampant speculation, the stock mar ket moved at a more moderate paCa today. The amount of business fell off abruptly. Quotations continued to move in an uncertain manner, with al ternate periods of strength and weak ness. Net changes were small, with a majority of slight losses
 The occurrence of the day which at tlacted most attention was the en- gagement made recently for the shipment of s2,O00,0O0 gold bars for export to Paris. The steady accumu- lation of idle funds here, the demand ffom abroad and the rise in exchange rates to the highest point it nearly two years had suggested the likelihood of a gold export movement Exchange rates are still below what is regard ed as the shipping point, demand sterling today being quoted at 4s750. The engagement of gold was charac- terized by bankers as a special trans action" owing to the belief that ex- ceptional inducements must have been held out by Paris to obtain the metal
 In the stock market Reading was the most active issue. In the early trading it rose two points. The con tinued strength of this stock was still unexplained The short interest in the stock apparently was warmed, and the advance of today WAS attributed large ly to covering. The price fell sharply after the advance and only a partial recovery followed Lehigh Valley was the weakest of the important stocks, ending the day with a substantial loss. Union Pacific was again under presr sure at times. Pacific Mail was active and strong moving up two points. There was some irregularity in the of the Tobacco stocks. The widest fluctuations in this group were
 Lorillard, which rose five points.
 Business in bonds fell off today, but prices were well maintained. Total snles. par value, $2,572.0o0. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

pELEHANTY's START.
Greatest of the Family Rode the
 Freight to His First Job.

Ed Delehanty, the greatest of the Delehanty ballplaying family. began on the lots around Cleveland, his home city. In 1886 some one told the man ager of the old Wheeling, W. ", ball team that Delehanty was great play CT. Some days later Delehanty re- ceived a letter offering him a trial with the Wheeling club. The young ster didn't have the money and no transportation was inclosed, but he started for Wheeling and made his way there by riding freights and walking. He was an infielder, play ing second base, and he made good from the jump. In 1887 Philadelphia decided to give him a trial, and along in the fall of that year Delehanty
 made his major league debut, playing second base, succeeding Bastian, one of the greatest players of his time.
 As big league second baseman the man who was destined to become a terror to the best pitchers the game has ever known was not a brilliant sUccess. Neither did he shine with his bat in his first year, as his aver age foC 66 games was only FIT In 1888 he played in 54 games for a grand average of .292. He alternated between second base and left field and in 1890 he went to the left field and remained there until his tragic death.

The Wreck OF the Titanic.

New Orleans Picayune: The ship
was the largest that has ever sailed
the seas, was fitted up with every
luxury which modern transatlantic
travel demands and equipped with
every safety device that human in
genuity has invented. There was no
thought that such ship could meet
with serious accident, much less dis
aster, yet she now lies at the bottom
of the North Atlantic, shattered and
crushed by gigantic iceberg, her
thick steel sides and enormous bulk
crumbling up as readily against the
mountain of ice as if she were built
of straw instead of massive iron.
Had it not been for the wireless
telegraph, which flashed the ships
awful predicament far and wide
over the ocean, the fate of the great
liner might never have been known,
and one more mystery would have
| been added to the long lost so famil-
lar to men who go down to the sea
| in ships. The aerial wais for help
was heard by many ships and on
shore more than a thousand miles
away, and many have been saved
from watery grave in consequence
who would otherwise be num-
bered among the missing. But not
even the wireless telegraph was able
to save the great ship from founder
ing or prevent large number of
her passengers and crew from going
down with her.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Keeping Geese on the Farm.

On most every farm 1t is possible to
keep some geese. even though there be
no water for them to swim in, for,
while II Is true that they would proba-
bly, be benefited by having access to a
pond or stream, it Is not absolutely nee
essary that they be provided with wa
ter except for drinking purposes. The
most profitable breeds to keep are the
Emblem. the African and the Toulouse
The White and Brown Chinas are pro
life layers. but. being small and per
sistent settlers, are not so desirable. An
excellent cross can be obtained by mat
ing an African gander with Embden
geese This not only produces better
layers. but improves the color of the
flesh. Toulouse geese are fair layers,
but they cannot be depended upon to
sit, and the quality of their flesh is not
| up to that of the Embdens.
The Toulouse is q grand breed never
theless, and If quiet one is wanted
| It is the kind to keep. 1t is also the
smallest feeder of any of the large
breeds.-American Cultivator.

THE PENSIONLAW.


The laws of this State in regard
to DensiOning Confederate soldiers
are faulty in many respects.
The amount appropriated FOR Dc
pendent worthy eX-Confederatps as5
been increased some, but 81 Is
mere pitlancr now and ts,e UcisOf5
prescribed hy which tn. solH"rS
procure this small bounty ere su:ss
as humiliate some who prefer to
continue in need than to aCknOWl-
edge themselves pauprrS at the rssr-
cy of the state.
There should be no technical red
tape process necessary Tor the sol
der to observe in order to get his
name enrolled on the list. We do not
think the amount paid the pension
board too high, it is only $500 an
nuaHy, and some kind of regulations
are necessary to distribui" this
small bounty. But the board should
treat every applicant civilly and
consider the merits OF his case.
Then, too, we believe there SHOULD
| be q fixed uniform sum to be pad
each applicant, requiring no proof
save the fact that he was regularly
enlisted and was hOnOrably dis
charged Guardian-Journal.
The proof of regular enlistment
and an honorable discharge should
be sufficient to establish and to
maintain the recognition and the
claim of any Confederate soldier or
his widow.
To receive a pension in Louisiana
the applicant must have served in a
company from Louisiana. The pres
ent law is weighted with technicali-
ties and rep tape" which in sense
require the applicant to abase him
self as if he were a mendicant.
At best the pension, so-called, al
lOtted is but a pittance. Indeed, the
present law should be superseded
by an enactment that will be fair
and more in keeping with the spirit
of recognition of the gallantry of
the men who imperiled their lives
in defense of their country.
The Confederate soldier is no beg
gar. He is a hero, whose achieve
ments will endure to the end OF
time.

HandIino Manure For Full Value.

In order to retain the full amount
and get all of the value out of the farm
manure 1t should be hauled directly
from the stall or feeding sheds and
spread upon the land. The sooner it
can be Incorporated with the soil after
spresd ding the better, but this practice
must be gagged or modified by other
conditions. Where the practice of haul
ing direct to the field Is followed the
manure is handled but once, thus econ
omizing labor as well as saving the Inn
portant elements Of fertility. The ma.
nure should be loaded directly into the
wagon as taken from the stalls or
barns. II as much as two or three
loads week are produced this will re-
quire a spreader or special wagon for
the purpose. The saving in labor. how
ever. will justify the expense.
