A Great Utility and Fancy Fowl.

The most popular of all American
breeds of poultry both in the United
mouth Rock. This breed as first orig
mated was of the barred variety and is
yet the most popular of all the colors.
Early in the breeding of Barred Ply
mouth Rocks many fanciors reported the
appearance OF several chicks among their
focks that were pure white These were
known as White sports" and some were
bred together, producing the present va
riety Of White Plymouth Rocks. Those
attained great popularity and were widely
bred both for utility and fancy, and have
proven perfectly satisfactory in either
capacity.

Is a treat forager.
For centuries the turkey has been the

n breeding is essential and some alton

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


A few days ago there appeared In the
srIst OF Wall Stree, literature a small item
to the effect that the Standard OIL Com
pany had purchased 100000 boxes OF tin
plate. This development was CLOSED over
as IL II were no more than n routine trans
action. Roughly speaking. 1000 boxes OF
tin plate produce 10000 cases and each
case Is equivalent to two cans OF Ave GAL
Ion capacity. Therefore the item In ques-
ton reduced to Its slmpieg terms means
that an order was placed by a company IA
nous for Its ability to read the business
future for the delivery OF $4,000, 900 Ave
gallon cans. or for an amount which Il Is
figured will take care OF the normal out
put for q year and a half II Is pointed
out that In addition to the broad sgnif-
canoe attaching to ne laying in OF such a
large supply there IN the plain inference
that the Standard OIL people are convinced
that prices for this material are substan-
tally at the bottom. or, In Other words.
that the depressing influence of foreign
