The Kaiser Likes Michaelis.

COPENHAGEN.-The secret of EN-
peror Williams unwillingness to re-
move DR.. Michaelis at present, de-
spite the chancellor's admitted loss
of control of the political situation,
is, according to an article in the Lo-
kali Anzeiger, that the emperor, like
a canny baseball manager, is saving
his best political star for the all-im
portant service at the conclusion OF
peace and thereafter and is reluctant
to exhaust his stamina by putting
him in. now.

In grapes, Tokays are off 25c at
$3.50 and Emperors are now in and
jobbing at $500 per lug. Local Con-
cords are off the market but eastern
stocks are selling at SOC per basket.
Prunes are now out of the market
and pears are a little firmer.
There is a slightly firmer tone to
the Irish spud market, although the
quotations has not as yet changed
Commission dealers aver that the
ideas of the producers as to price is
higher than the conditions justify,
but that they are almost compelled
to pay the asking figure to get sup
plies. Sweets still hold at $3.50.
Onions are firmer at $3@3.5O, and
parsnips are now in and offered at
$3.50. Hothouse lettuce and cucum-
bers have supplanted the other var
ieties, the former selling at 75c per
box and the latter at $1.25@1.50 per
dozen.
California tomatoes have taken the
place of the locals and are now Of
fered at $3.50 per box.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-The movement of wheat to
the terminal markets was quite free
during the week. A very large in
crease is noted. The demand for the
same has only been normal, in fact
the mills have an oversupply OF
wheat at present on hand. The re
quirements were easily managed. In
dications are that the wheat move
ment from the wheat districts viii
soon be on an increase. Already the
movement is showing appreciate
gains every week, and reports from
country stations, indicating more lib
eral markets by farmers, foretell ;
still heavier movement for the imme
date future Wheat-seeding AM
blowing operations are still taking
great deal of the time of farmers.
Flour-Another drop in the pric
of local flour was put into effec
this week. First patents going iron
5000 to SO and seconds from 81
, to $3.50. Reports indicate that tn
flour situation is clearing up consi(
: erably. Millers are getting NOR
l wheat and the trade is buying flou
1 in larger quantities.
2 Feed-The market has an easie
5 tone, due to increased supplies an
lack of increased demand to offse
it. Oats are easy but no change
price has as yet been noted. Barle
is rather in an unsatisfactory cond
: ton from the viewpoint of the selle
Hay holds as heretofore.

In spite of the fact that there are
deterrent influences to be contended
with, the general movement of mer-
chandise is we'll maintained. Two
elements have combined to cause a
Stacking down in demands to some

price. There are many who incline
to the belief that possible break is
impending

Provisions.


Butter-Market still holds firm at
4s@49c for Washington creamery,
with receipts of butterfat holding at
about the same level as last week.
Should the producers put into effect
the proposed advance in the price
of milk, it is predicted that there
will be an increase in the receipts
of butterfat and this may tend to
ease the butter market to some ex-
tent, but not to any appreciable de-
gree.
Cheese-Market remains at about
the same level as for the past few
weeks, with quotations ranging from
27c to SAC and supplies adequate for
demands.
Eggs-Reports of advances during
the week in the wholesale quotations
on fresh ranch eggs seem to have
been premature. The price remains
the same as last week, but increas
ing scarcity of supplies have ten
dency to strengthen the market anc
firmer conditions seem to be ahead.
Fresh Meats-Declines that have
taken place on live hogs during the
past few weeks have been reflected
in pork cuts which are now quoted
at 24@3Oc. Beef and mutton hold a
the same level as last week. Re
ceipts of cattle are in good volume
while hogs and sheep are rather lin
tied, although of sufficient volum
to supply the demand.
Poultry-Good hens are now wort
Ice, while others bring 13c to 14'
Broilers are zoe and springers 15C
Ducks and turkeys have advanced
the former to 15c and the latter t
22@25c live weight.
Lard and Cured Meats-Hams hav
eased off slightly and the market
inclined to be easy, with probabl
[ further recessions. Bacon holds &
+ the same figure as last week, a
does also lard.

wise in a few years the reports
fro mthe people he has swim
died will so undermine his bus
mess that he can no longer

to shut up his shop. Trees
should be purchased from the

grown under local or very sim

do better than those purchased
at great distances and are for

PEACH TREES WHAT
AND HOW TO Plant

AS soon anyone starts to
to thinking about setting out
an orchard, one of the great
problems is the question of
trees. Where shall they be
purchased? The answer to
this question is, preferably at
the nearest reliable nursery.
1t is advisable to let tree agents
alone, for it must be remember
ed that the nursery not only
makes it profit by selling to
the agent, but that the agent
also makes his profit in the re-
sale to the purchaser. The
agents are generally an timer
airy type of men, that is they
travel from place to place.
Very often we might say gen
efAl1y, they do not represent
the most reliable nursery firms
but are used by certain classes
of nurseries to work off stock
that for some reason the nur-
sery itself has not been able to
moove. 1t takes three years
for a peach tire to produce
fruit. A tree agent will have
had ample time to get clear
out of the country before the
trees demonstrate their worth
in production of fruit. There
is no redress when one variety
has been purchasedfrom the
and the trees turnout to be en-
tirely another variety when. the
fruit natures. The agent is
gone and there is no one to go
hack on. The reliable nurse
ryma nhas a reputation TO
maintain, his business is loca-
ted at particular place, and
if he expects to stay in business
for any length of time he must
see to it that he sells good trees
that are true to name, other

THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS

We are longing for the good
old days when one suit of
clothes lasted a year for good
wear, and two more for every
day wear. Everybody work
ed ten hours a day, then went
to a shindig, and old and
young danced till the chickens
quit their roost. They had no
brainstorms or heart failure or
appendicitis. Brainstorms
were cured with goo dhickory
stick. heart failure was called
fits, and appendicitis was call
| ed bellyache. They rolled the
patient on a nbarrel, or rubbed
him with him with him with a.
not brick; and no one knew
that he had. a vermiform dorf-
Ticker that was set to catch
grape seed. We used to eat
soup and have sass" oil all
kinds; now we eat fruit salad
and consomme and have bis
cult made of baking powder
that look as if some one had sat
on them. We had bread with
rising that smelled like a glue
factory when it was rising. but
tasted better than anything
made Of selfrising flour. And
if the girls chewed gum they
had to climb a sweet-gum tree
and dig it out with screw-dri-
yer or tenpenny nail.
Progress does't always mean
betterment. Those pioneers
no GpoqHuB se Gddeq Sc oI9M
earth. They needed less than
day and six times the necess
ties. They took no stock in
this burned progressive dem
ocracy; the original was good
enough. A mans word was
his bond. The women didn't
know anything about short or
shorter dresses, or gowns with
ribbons for sleeves.
