Walter Prichard Eaton says in an

Hoggson Magazine that the complete
country house cannot be considered
apart from its setting and that moth
ing strikes him so forcefully as he
wanders about The region Of New

age owners lack of imagination in the
employment of native trees, shrubs and
plants to set the landscape about his
dwelling.

garden is a reproduction in miniature
of a japanese scene, the condensed
soul of the japanese landscape, as 1t
were" Mr.. Eaton also says: "a

on the Stock Exchange, blocks Of $780,

another block Of the Same amount at

Opening st irregular prices on rela-
lively small operations, the stock mar

Wheat.-Sentiment was divided. but
the undertOne was frmer and final
quotations showed net gains for the
day Of 10 4 cents. A show of strength
IN the Northwestern cash markets
caused fairly active covering by shorts,
and sentiment was also Influenced by
reduced crop estimates from Kansas.
The cash situation is one of the great
est irregularity. Some new crop wheat
IS being offered more freely from
Texas and Oklahoma, and it is said
that sales had been made or Friday of
car Of new wheat at Kansas City for
$3.50 and that sales had been made 20

same time old No. | Northern spring
wheat in Minneapolis has been bring

small offers. IL is quite evident that
this wide difference in prices will have

increase. Whether the old crop will
decline 10 n basis with the new or there
will be concessions both ways is not

The demand for cash wheat at the

holding out as far as possible for new

Fine Larchmont
Cottages Sold

Metals

Confidence is expressed in iron and
steel circles that after fuller govern
ment investigation prices for plates
and shapes for cargo boats which the
trade considers more reasonable Will
be adopted ia place of prices now being
proposed. The latter, Il IS declared,
would compel steel companies to fur
nish finished material below the cost
Of production TO mills that must pur-
chase raw material in the open market.
For cargo boats now under contract
IL is estimated 100000 tons Of steel
will be REQUIRED. The last order for
ten steel 7,500-ton boats placed with
the Downcy Shipbuilding Company will
require $4,000 tons of steel. The other
twenty-cight steel boats ordered call
for $4,000 tons and the thirty-two COM
posite ships ordered viii take 10000
tons. The wooden boats will require
10000 tons Of rivets and $4,000 tons of
bolts.
Other government war contracts re-
ouire 100000 tons Of steel in various
forms. OF the total. ST 600 tons are for
high explosive shells, for which the
mills are to receive pa cents pound.
Other government purchases include
sheets for camp equipment, 10000
tons of billets and blooms for gun
forgings, several thousand tons Of
structural shapes for navy yards and
arscnals and large tonnages of shaft
ing, bolts, rivets. nuts and bars for
army wagons. The War Department
has also placed additional orders for
cast iron pipe for cOntonments.
An interesting development is the
government proposal TO distribute or
ders for 800 Pacific type locomotives.
to be manufactured and distributed
among railroads on the same terms
proposed for the prospective 100000
freight cars. 10 is estimated that the
locomotives will cost $4,000 to $50 900
each. Builders have taken orders for
fifteen locomotives for export to Africa,
Brazil and Trinidad. Car shops have
taken orders for so freight cars for
domestic roads.
Railroad equipment and manufactur-
ers' June orders call for 100000 tons
of steel. There is great demand for
all kinds of rails, about $4,000 tons of
heavy, medium and light sections hav-
ing been sold at from $50 to $50 per
ton.
independent wire product manufact-
urers advanced prices $40 per ton and
are asking SO 10 SIG per ton above the
American Steel and Wire Company. but
government orders for $4,000 kegs of
wire nails have been distributed at
$500 per keg.
Pig iron continued excited, but the
volume of business had fallen off % to
50 per cent. Prices were up $3.50 to
81 per ton on foundry iron in the East
and So to s. in the South, while char
coal and high silicon iron have ad-
vanced s. to $40 and low phosphorus

Industrial
Cotton

Cotton sold Yesterday at the highest
nrices reached in the local market SO
far this season.
October contracts advanced to 26'7s'
or 80 points above Fridays close ana
a gain of 23S points from the low level
reached on the break Of last Wednes-
day. Buying was stimulated ty un-
favorable crop advices and reports
that the government had closed con-
tracts for 100000 yards Of cotton
duck. The buying was only moderate
" active, and the advance, sensational
az IL seemed as compared with the low
level of three days previously, was
without excitement. The feature, In
deed was the renewed scarcity OF con-
tracts and the responsiveness OF prices
TO comparatively small orders. Reas--
surfing sales caused reactions OF seVerai
points late in the session and the close
was irregular at net gain OF 81 70 A
points.
Nothing more definite was received
here as TO the prospects for reopening
the Liverpool futures market next
week. Manchester advices said that
the closing of the English market had
disorganized the trade in Lancashire
and that many manufacturers were re-
fusing to quote prices pending the out
come of the present conference. Re
ports from Paris that the Cotton Ex-
change at Havre had been closed. at
tracted 10 special attention, as the
trade here seldom shows any interest
in tho ruling Of the market there, where
maximum prices for some time past
have been fixed twice daily.
Manchester advices showing the de-
moralizing effect on the goods trade
of closing futures markets, recalled
the conditions which developed here Ill
the autumn of 1914.
A committee of the New York Cot
ton Exchange has informed officials Of
the Department Of Agriculture as 10
the action taken by the exchange 70
meet the conditions prevailing in the
cotton trade, and reports that such &C
ton has met the approval of the de-
partment.
Reports from the Southwest ex-
pressed increasing anxiety for the
crop in that section owing to the abb
sence Of moisture.
