Strength Of q Flower,

One Of the most remarkable exhibi
tions Of plant force I ever saw, says
John Burroughs in THE Breath o,
Life" was in a western city, where |
observed a wild sunf1ower forcing its
way up through the asphalt pavement
The folded and compressed leaves Of
the plant, like a mans fist, had pushed
against the hard but flexible concrete
until it bulged up and split and let the
irrepressible plant through. The force
exerted must have been many pounds
think it doubtful If the strongest mar
could have pushed his fist through suct
a resisting medium.
Life activities are a kind Of explo
sion, and the slow continued explo
sions of this growing plant rent tn,
pavement as surely as powder woult
have done. 1t is doubtful II any cult
waited plant could have overcome suct
odds 1t required the force of the I'm
tanned hairy plant of the plains to &C
complish the feat.

Tho Longest Fast.

The record for fasting, so far as our
best information goes, is held By
Graine, a French murderer, who de.
termined to starve himself to death
and from day to day after his arrest
refused to eat.
In spite of every effort on the part
Of his keepers, who first tried to tempt
him to eat by placing the most dainty
meals in his cell and when that failed
attempted feeding him by force, he
held out for sixty-three days, at the
end Of which period he died.
With the exception Of CRANES case
the longest well authenticated instance
OF fasting on record is that accomplish,
ed by Giovanni Succi, who lived at the
Royal Aquarium, London, for forty.
FIVE days without food.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the leadina Stocks

New York. Sept. 26.-Trading in
stocks today proceeded in q most or
derby and rational manner. the sharp
reversal of yesterdays final hour evi-
IDENTIFY having SOLDERING effect upon
the most venturesome speculative ele-
ment. Dealings were again very large
and broad, aggregating 1.656,0O0 shares
and making the 17th successive ses-
sion in which sales have reached or
far exceeded the million mark.
The greater activity was shown in
the first and final hours. the former
being marked by a strong opening and
sudden decline, while the fag end Of
the session was noteworthy for the
strength of rails. some of which rose
to best quotations of the past year or
two.
The strength of investment issues
probably resulted from some brilliant
statements of railway earnings issued
in the course of the day. These In
cluded the annual report of the South
ern Pacific Co., showing a gain in net
income of over so per cent, and the
August returns Of the Atchison road,
which disclosed net increase of 81,
$4,000.
United States Steel which continued
to lead the list was watched with es-
pecial interest because of it's abrupt
decline from yesterdays record price
of 120 to below 115. On very large
transactions steel rose / IL points to
116 1-2. declined to 113 3-4, and closed
unchanged at lis.
Sugars were among the foremost is
sues. with new records for Cuban
American, American Beet and Cuban
Cane at gross advances of to
points.
Shipping stocks which seemed to
bear some relations to sugar issues
regained some of their former promi-
nence and strength and oils were
strong. Texas gained almost eight
points on the proposed 20 per cent
capital increase.
Coppers, equipments and motors,
Stutz proving the exception in the last
named group. were firm to strong, and
utilities, particularly the gas stocks.
were in better demand.
Bonds were strong. with broad in
quiry for high grade issues. Total

MAINE STOCK AT MARKET.
Cattle $40, sheep 749. calves 5s5, hogs Hs

TONE OF THE MARKET
There was a good supply Of beef
cattle at the yards and the demand
for the best grades held firm at the
previous range of prices. On account
of the Jewish holidays. however, prices
for ordinary cattle showed some de-
cline. The best steers and oxen COM
mand 8 1-2 a 9 1-2c, with good quail
itv 1-2 a 1-2c, and course and
thin cattle L. a 1-2. For the best
heavy COWS, s a 7 lac would be paid,
with fair to good q &c, poor to ordi-
nary a sc and bolognas and can
ners 3 IA a &C. Bulls were In good
supply at q 1-2c.
Veal calves found a ready market
at previous prices. Good quality calves
bring IL a 9 1-2c, with choice up
to II 1-2c and some extras higher.
Coarse calves, drinkers and grassers,
sell at q &c and small calves at So
"a 4.5O each. There was a fairly large
supply at the yards.
Receipts of hogs continue very light
and the market is strong. There was
little change in prices from week
ago, live hogs selling at 10 "a a II 1-zc
for good quality and dressed hogs at
13 3-S a IA lac, the latter represent
ing a fractional advance.
Rather more sheep and lambs were
brought to the yards this week but
there was no change in the market.
Sheen are quoted at q &c and lambs
at a 10c.
The uncertainty regarding the milk
question tends to restrict the purchase
of milch cows as milk raisers do not
know lust what they will get for the
product, opposition to any advance
having arisen. Good average mixers
will bring $50 a IS, with choice heavy
mixers up to $125 and ordinary cows
$35@50.
The live poultry market is unchang-
ed, with fowl zoe, chickens 22c and
roosters ~ a 1Sc.
