STOCK MARKET |S, STRONG IN FACE
 0F NEWS OF WAR

New York, March 1.-The events of last week, notably the policy of armed neutrality and the convention of an extra session of Congress did not materialize until the stock market had eyinced a strong disposition to shake off its re- cent depression. This feeling was evinced in the steady advances in almost all is- sues except rails.
 Much of the weeks activities may safely be described to the professional element. that faction again taking up the more speculative specialties. The strength of seasoned industrials resulted, however, from known trade conditions. Coopers and other metals benefited the strength of American smelting arising not only from improved conditions in Mexico, but from the belief that the forthcoming annual statement of the company will show record earnings. Higher quotations for war and semi-war shares were predicated on similar hopeful signs.
 In the broader domain of finance con- fidence was largely restored by the state ment of the federal reserve board re- garding American investment in foreign loans. The source of exchange indicated, however, that vigorous remedial meas ures may have to be taken to stabilize credits with Italy and Russia

A Boyhood Punishment

MT. Howells tells in "A Boys Town "how his father would not have allowed them to play where it could have az grieved any one lon Sunday, for a prime article of his religion was to respect the religious feelings of others, even when he thought them wrong. But he would not suffer the children to get the notion that they were guilty of any deadly crime if they happened to come short of the conventional standard of piety. Once, when their grandfather reported to him that the boys had been seen throwing stones on Sunday at the body of a dog lodged on some drift in the river, he re- buked them for the indecorum, and then ended the matter, as he often did, by saying. Boys. consider yourselves sound ly thrashed!'

In view of the severe winters we seem to be having, it seems risk to plant our gardens too early. We are almost sure to lose our seeds, to say nothing of blasted hopes.
 For two seasons now our sweet peas sown in November have been killed in February, after making a most promising growth
 It Is we'll to clean up the garden, spade deep and prepare the soil, but wait until danger of freezing weather is over before planting. When the soil warns up the growth of your young plants will be twice as rapid.
 SELECT GOOD SEED.
 We think it important to select good seed of best varieties obtainable rath- CT than to take just any that are of- fered. and 1t is interesting to test new varieties occasionally.
 The seed catalogs are so attractive that 1t is a pleasure to study them, so when a novelty is offered by a re- liable seedsman, buy a few seeds and try them. For instance, many garden CTS still plant the old-fashioned Val entine beans. when the new String less Green-pod are much superior in fla vor, more prolific. have no strings and come into bearing earlier.

MARKET REVIEW FOR WEEK
DEMAND CONTINUES FOR ROLLED STEEL; RR|CES ADVANCED

New York, March 11.-Startling ad- vances in the prices of rolled steel products from day to day make clearly evident that the extraordinary pressure upon the steel mills for all kinds of ma terial and capacity of the various plants is being pre-empted over the last half of 1918, and the first half of 1919. The principal advances in prices includes S4 per ton on wrought steel and iron pipe, S5 per ton on light rails, $7 per ton on soft steel bars, $10 per ton on truck shapes and s15 per ton on tank plates. The prices now prevailing on bars, plates and shapes are the highest of record. ex- ceeding the maximum prices established in 1899 by s17 to ss2 per ton.
 Merchant steel pipe is now at the high est level since February 1, 1900. There are no official prices for marine shapes and plates but independent mills have advanced. asking prices $10 per ton. East ern Pennsylvania mills also are asking s2o per ton more for tank plates than is the Carnegie Steel company. The latter company has also advanced warehouse prices at New York s7 per ton on bars, plates and shapes
 Aside from the distribution of con tracts for 68. 1892 tons of heavy rails by the Pennsylvania Railroad company, or ders for only 10000 tons of rails were taken by the mills, but fully 250,0Oo tons are pending for domestic and foreign shipment in 1918 No rails are available for 1917, and one eastern road has been compelled to purchase 600O0 tons of re- laying rails to cover urgent needs.
 The demand for motive power is ex- tremely pressing; orders have just been accepted for 172 locomotives from domes- tic roads and Canadian lines have or dered 20 in the dominion. Only few or ders for cars and bridges were placed
 The Bethlehem Steel company has just closed another SIS, 900 ship contract covering more boats for the Cunard line Contracts are pending for more than 5OO,- 900 tons of marine steel to be delivered in 1918 and 1919.
 The Ing iron trade Is excited with prices rom $2 to 8 per ton higher. The dif- ficulty of securing metal on contracts has developed a feverish "spot market" Sales in the east in the last five days amounted to 7o,O0o tons for early and forward shipment, in all sections about 150O0O tons were sold.
 The United States Steel corporation Saturday reported thrilled orders on hand February 2s of Il ,576,6 ,697 tons, a new maximum record. There was a gain of lo2,643 tons In February, when orders booked were little over 100000 tons. according to estimates.

COTTON WAITING ON WEATHER AND
 VISIBLE SUPPLY
By Hop"

New Orleans, March 11.-In the belt. the extreme west still complained of drought and low temperatures while the eastern belt complained of mois ture. Interest in the new crop was strengthened by official reports tend ing to show that much grain had been planted on cotton lands
 The total visible supply of all kinds of cotton showed a decrease for the week of nearly 250,000 bales, partly due to a large decrease in the supply of American and partly to deduction of S1.000 bales in the stock of Egyptian cotton afloat for Liverpool. It was generally considered this deduction was rendered necessary by the many recent disasters to shipping through unrestricted submarine warfare. This item in the weeks statistics caused much comment.
 This week the trade will be much interested in watching new develop ments resulting from arming American merchant vessels and the market is likely to be affected by features which may come from this direction. The spot situation will be of the greatest importance and the new crop will claim more attention because of the nearness of general planting.

Fashions Latest Whims

In the Woman's Home Companion Grace Margaret Gould says:
 "The latest whim of fashion is to use the same fabric for hat and blouse. This spring and summer hats made of organdie. and other dainty fabrics in pastel shades will be worn with blouses to match.
 For mid-season festivities, stockings are gay. As an illustration, brilliant green silk stockings show insets of equal ly bright green sequins There are others hand painted. One pair is yellow silk, hand painted in purple pansies
 The usual in throat effects is the fashionable aim. A lavender tweed sport suit has collar and shoulder yoke cross over in front. Above this unusual effect is high rolling collar, standino out sufficiently to show a facing of brilliant Roman stripe slk.''

five MILE DRY
ZONE PROVIDED
IN ARMY CAMPS
Ruling Makes Exception Where
City Within Limit,
However

Orders issued at Washington or
July rs by President Wilson establish
"dry zone" five miles in extent
around all camps and military reser
Vations where there are soldiers eth
er in training or otherwise.
1t is provided in the orders, how
ever, that If there is municipality
within one-half mile of the military
zone the prohibited area is limited
to that distance in the direction of the
municipality.
Though no word has been received
at army headquarters yet as to the
order, it is considered likely that these
are the ones which it had been stated
were in course of preparation, word tc
this effect being carried in a cable
message to Gen. Strong shortly before
he left the local department. If so
| they will not affect saloons in Homo
lulu, as this city is less than five
miles from several army posts.
Heavy fines are provided for viola
ton of the department regulations
which are said to prohibit the giving
as we'll as selling" of liquor within
the prescribed limits.
The establishment Of immoral
places within the military zone is
also prohibited and a penalty of ST.
900 is provided for such offense.
"Basing his action upon a strict in
depreciation of the law forbidding the
sale Of intoxicants to men in uniform,
Assistant U. S. Attorney Ralph Given
this morning declined to file charges
against persons arrested Saturday
night because they had purchased Ii
quor for soldiers, says the Washing,
ton Star.
Police officials and agents of the
department Of justice interpreted the
law to cover persons who bought Ii,
quor and gave it to soldiers. This in
depreciation Mr. Given failed to up
hold. He pointed to the section which
reads: 1t shall be unlawful to sell
any Intoxicating liquor, including
beer, ale or wine, to any members
of the military forces while in uni
form The prosecuting attorney would
make no statement regarding what
might be done in cases of persons
who serve liquor to soldiers which is
not paid for by them, or with persons
who buy liquor to give to soldiers.
In the absence Of any court deci
sion there is no criterion to show
how far a dealer in intoxicants may
go without violating the law. Some
persons suggested that men in uniform
might be treated in licensed bar
rooms. without rendering the pro
prietors liable to arrest, while an
other view was that such a practise
would make the buyer and consumer
purchasers under the terms of the
law
