GENERAL TRADE CONDITIONS

The Financier says: AS had been
anticipated the July / interest and
dividend period materially Influenced
the statement of the New York clear
ing house banks for the week ended
June %, loans having shown an expan-
sion of $2S,493, 900 and deposits a cor
responding increase of 2 S,9S0,0OO. The
surprising feature of the statement
was a decrease of $1,347 900 in cash,
preliminary estimates having indicated
an expansion of over $5,000,00 0 in that
item. The discrepancy is to be &C
counted for by adjustment due to the
approaching semi-annual interest n
dividend payments. The statement
follows:
Actual condition-Loans, $780, $751;
900; increase, $2S,490,000. Specie,
7,435, 900; decrease, $412,000. Legal

Bradstreets says: Business holds
up remarkably well, Notwithstanding
the midsummer season for inventor
ing is approaching. Crop returns as
a whole are favorable, especially as
regards winter wheat, cotton and
corn: consumption of merchandise is
heavy, stocks are light, business on
current account is larger than season
ably normal and trade in pig iron has
improved, thanks to very low prices.
In the surplus grain producing Sec
tions the Illuminating fact is that
merchants, ~undeterred by tariff mat
tiers are going ahead with their fall
purchases, retail trade has been given
a flip by seasonable weather plus
clearance sales, and it appears to be
easier to get money on commercial
paper.
Thus, the weeks developments spell
somewhat more optimism, especially
as appertains to affairs in the north
west, southwest and west, in which
sections current trade is satisfactory
or better, while there is a noteworthy
disposition to cover future require
ments.
Wheat, including flour exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week ended June 26 aggregate 4,201,
$50 bushels, against 3,1S7,531 bushels

cotton. Three acres are required and
three years in which to complete the
program of crop rotation.
Boys who enter the four-crop con-
test must be between 10 and 81 years

the boys contest and the farmers con-

Every community should have a
corn study day. The farmers should

difference in fertilization and soil be-

After having decided on the best va
rieties for growth in a given commu-
nifty, the work of selection should then
proceed systematically. On most of our
soils it will be well to select seed from
plants which have two well-developed
ears. The medium sized ear sorts will
be found more satisfactory for growth
on our average Georgia soil than the
big-eared varieties. The growth OF
big-eared varieties had best be con-
fined largely to bottom lands. The
ears chosen should be from plants

which are free from disease in so far
as careful examination reveals. They
should be plants which seems to have
made a vigorous, consistent growth
from termination to maturity. A fair
amount of foliage is important for
several reasons. First of all, the
leaves are valuable for feed, and Sec
ond,. they constitute the lungs OF the
plant and enable 1t to manufacture
food more rapidly and completely. The
ears should be selected from stalk
which has stood up well throughout
the season and Is not&so tall or slim
that it is likely to be broken over by
the wind. The ears should point down.
ward rather than upward and should
be attached to the stalk by stout rela'
lively short shanks. The ear CHOSEN
for seed should be carefully examined.
1t is important that the rows OF grain
run straight, that the tip and butt be
we'll covered, that the grain be fairly
hard and fiinty and free from weevil
damage. The rows should be tightly
packed together on the cob and the
grain of uniform size from tip to butt.
All these things have an important
bearing on the future crop for II the
grain is misshapen it will not seed
uniformly through the planter, and be-
sides that, it is not as likely that the
germs or young plants will be as Wig
orously developed as is well shaped
seeds.

New York, Dec. Premature and
luxurious whiskers on the face of
15-year-old Ralph Malet, of Brooklyn,

Ralph was run in on Oct. 49,, by

fingers had fashioned from a joint o.

only fifteen years old.
Eyes, you are!" said Dowd, meaning
the opposite.
He took the boy to the station where
the desk sergeant booked him as
nineteen after a critical examination
of the mustache and whiskers that
luxuriated about his features. That
put Ralph in the jurisdiction Of the
county court. When his case came

proved that her son had been born
