Investigation showed that the
farmers who farm intensively and
scientifically, diversifying and ro-

suits. Jns the corn sections, where
the condition, was distressing, fields
were found going 40 bushels or
/ more to the acre, while across the
road from them in some cases were
fields not worth saving. The farm
ers in the first instance plowed
their ground deep and cultivated
their corn constantly, thus keeping
down the weeds and "bottling up"
all the moisture, while in the Sec

ground the attention given it in
ordinary seasons.

touched in many years A few fraction
al gains were scored at the outset, but
the tone soon turned heavy.
There were indications in the scanti-
ness Of stocks that the list was being
supported. Business was small, and.
with the exception Of Missouri Pacific
and New Haven Railroad, there was
no pronounced pressure. Amalgamated
Copper began with an advance OF " to

Lowest Price of
Year for Lemons

Mccullough Bros, in their weekly
fruit and produce letter. says:
Oranges so far this season have been
Of poor color and generally speaking of
poor quality. The demand and con-
sumption resulting has been limited.
In comparison grapefruit are grading
better with all desirable stock being
taken at satisfactory values. The best
grades of apples selling we'll at high
prices. The general conditions warrant
the prediction that apples will advance
more or less as the season progresses
A sharp advance has occurred on Gel
cry during the last few days. Gran
berries are scarce and active. Lemons
selling lower than at any time during
the season. The average banana prices
are high.
Very few pineapples coming to this
market.
Sweet potatoes In heavy supply at
low prices. Both Irish potatoes and
onions ready sale at quotations
The season for California and New
York State grapes is rapidly drawing
to a close, with the present supply lin
tied and selling high.
Vegetables are in limited supply and
coming principally from the West
Cabbage are high and scarce.
Fresh eggs are very scarce and high.
Storage stock Is now being used as
general thing.
Dressed poultry has been plentiful
and dull during the week, also the best
grades Of butter The demand Is linn
tied for all kinds of live poultry.

cables had little effect upon the cotton
market at the opening to-day and
whereas It had been expected that first
prices here would be from to 5 points
lower in reality they were only 2 to 3
points off from Fridays close. The
weakness in the market was attrib-
uted to hedge selling.
There was little cotton for sale and
steady accumulation for local specuIa-
tive and trade houses, covering by
shorts and buying by brokers with Liv-
erpool and Southern connections moved
prices slowly upward, and at the end
OF half an hour values were to
points higher than the opening range
The weather conditions In the South
were favorable and after prices fluc-
tuated erratically around the high point
for a few minutes the market eased
Off to points from the previous
close, being under active selling, which
was attributed mainly to foreign &C
count The buying continued of a good
character and no declines of conse-
quence is anticipated. There would be
rallies Of few points, but the list
would slip off and leave the range mar
