Speculative Demands Domi-
nate Wide and Advancing
but Orderly Market.
SALES 100000 SHARES
Heavy Gains in Industrials,
With Gulf States Steel Up
Over 80 Points.
SALES 100000 SHARES

Whether or not the recent advances in
the prices Of many Industrial stocks have
been due to manipulation by speculative
pools and syndlcatcs and whether or not
the investment demand for the Industrial
stocks has followed tho market UP, there
was no question whatever yesterday that
the speculative demands for stocks were
sufficieut for the time being TO overpower
all other influences and TO rciegaic to the
background all other considerations.
Sales on the Stock Exchange exceed
ed 2.0o0.000 shares. this turnover being
tho largest for the week, and comparing
closely with the two big days OF last
week. The advances. though tumultuous.
covered a wider range Of stocks than on
the two big days OF last week. and on
the whole tho market was moro orderly
than on most days Of late. There were.
Of course, wide fluctuations, but from the
beginning to tho end Of the session there
was In evidence steady buying power
that would not be Rainsaid.
Tho railroad shares took modest part
In the upward movement. Attention was
directed particularly to Chesapeake and
Ohio. which scored a not gain OF one and
a half points in anticipation Of that re-
sumption Of dividend payments which

a Day OF Realisation.

The market for most Of the Industrial
shares has advanced in anticipation OF
q declaration Of high dividends from
war profits and other Developments OF
these untoward times. Many OF the an
ticipations have failed Of retaliation.
There was keen disappointment among
spectators this week. for instance. when

cent. on the preferred stock and report cd
earnings Of less than per cent. But
yesterday was day OF realization.
Stockholders OF Republic Iron and Steel

the declaration OF the regular quarterly
dividend OF Ia per cent on tho pre-
ferred and per cent. extra. tho latter
making good ~ the back dividends on

Some of the advantages of mixtures
over single varities are that different
grasses by roofing to different depths
increase the feeding area of the crop;
by beginning spring growth and man
uring at different times increase the
pasture season and furnish variety
of feed. Mixtures of turf grasses and
bunch grasses cover all the ground
better than bunch grasses alone and
probably less quickly become sod
bound than turf grasses alone.
Seed house" mixtures are often un--
satisfactory. 1t is better to buy good
grades of seed of the varieties desired
and mix according to the formula re-
quired. Light and heavy seeds should
not be sown together as they quickly
become separated causing uneven
seeding. 1t may be necessary there
fore to go over the ground several
times in order to be sure of distribut-
Il ing the seeds of all varieties uniform
ally.
The cost Of such mixtures in the
amounts given above seems exhorbit-
ant, but while they may be varied
somewhat in amounts it is important
to seed literally in order to secure a
good sod and the maximum use of the
pasture as quickly as possible. 1t is
not ordinarily economy to wait yeai
or two years for a full stand. of gras:
or to permit the pasture to ripen seed
to supplant thin stand secured by
light seeding.
Seeding may be done either with o.
without nurse crop, but where weed
are not troublesome or the soil doe
not blow no nurse crop is necessar,
and is more likely to be injurious thai
+, beneficial. If nurse crop is used
