MARKET IRREGULAR
With Steel LEADING
Cotton Broke Heavily. Then Rallied
and Closed Above Opening.

New York, April 16.-Stocks closed
irregular today after a session that
was enlivened for about an hour with
very aggressive buying OF steel and
several standard issues. The big
event Of the day was another wild
break in cotton followed by an equal
ly exciting recovery. TIE war news
was not cheering. Money continued
easier.
Cpture OF Bailleul by the Ger
mans was announced early in the day
and checked the sharp advance that
was continued over night into the
opening of the market. The reaction
resulting from this was about one
point on the averge and the market
turned dull. Cotton broke at the
very opening a hundred points and
continued dropping until the October
option had lost 40 points. Then
came a swift rally that carried cotton
up 1T5. The high on Monday for Octo-
Der cotton was 29.27 cents so that to-
days low showed a break OF 327
cents. Counting the rally there was a
gross movement in the option OF
more than 5 cents a pound or SIS a
bale in twenty-four hours. This Is
enough movement to cover two years
of ordinary trading in cotton.
Only a few traders were short of
cotton and one OF them was credited
with profits OF more than a million
dollars for the four or five days at
tention he has paid to that market.

HER TITAN HAIR.

The matron Of the hospital repeated
ly told the nurses TO be sure to dry as
well as clean the instruments "If you
don't dry them thoroughly they will
rust" she had said so often.
And the little girl, the star patient,
they called her, who had been there so
long, knew all the instructions, rules
and regulations by heart, and especially
this piece of advice and direction.
A new nurse entered the hospital not
long ago. Her hair was of n gorgeous
red. 1t was the envy of all.
'How did you ever get hair OF such
n wonderful colOr?" asked one of the
nurses, maliciously.
"It's quite natural" the new nurse
replied quietly.
But the little girl called out from her
bed:
II know how she got It. She washed

azaleas, rhodOdendrOns, lilacs and 9TH
er blossoms which are brought to the
zenith of their glory at Eastertide.
After a series of tests made by the
department of agriculture in various
states 1t has been found that tulips,
narcissi and hyacinths can best be
produced in this country in certain
parts of the Pacific coast, these being
northwest Washington and northwest
California, and that there are areas in
those states extensive enough to sup
ply all the bulbs this country needs,
with soil and climatic conditions even
more favorable for the culture of
Dutch bulbs" than the HARLEM bulb
district of Holland.
Said one of the scientists of the de-
partment Of agriculture in a recent
talk on the subject of bulb culture in
America for the home trade: "One of
the main deterrent factors with those
who contemplate entering the business
in this country, where it seems prob
able they can produce better article
than the imported, is that of the ex-
tensive hand labor as yet necessitated
in bulb culture. The biggest job in
this connection is digging. As the
business expands, however it is more
than likely that the American farm
implement manufacturer will provide
machinery to overcome this need, as
he has in the past overcome every 9th
er obstacle in farnl operation. OF late
Il is reported that machinery is COM
ing into use even in Holland to a lin
tied extent in bulb culture on account
of the scarcity of labor due to war
conditions"
Whether due to the war, or to
knowledge of the tendency on the part
of the United States to keep it's bulb
trade at home, number of Holland
and Belgium bulb and decorative plant
growers have emigrated to the Pacific
coast and have entered the business
with a view to assisting in the Ameri-
can supply of Easter flowers. One
grower of azaleas and araucarias who
came from Client in Belgium Is en-
deavoring to establish this business in
California. He made the statement
to the effect that he found con-
ditions here superior to those in
Belgium. One great advantage, he
finds, is that plants bud here fully
several weeks before they finish bud
ding in Client, enabling them to be
forced for the early American market.
He states that America imports an
nually between two and three millions
of decorative plants, including rhodo->
dendrons, azaleas, hollies, boxwoods

British airplanes dropped ton Of
bombs on the German city of Mann
helm on Monday, it was officially an
nounced at London.
Seven enemy airplanes were brought
down, according to the Rome war Of
fee report. Two were accounted for
by the Italians, two by the French an6
three by the British.
Reports from Germany to Geneva
say panics have been caused by British
aerial attacks. At Koblenz there were
several fires and an ammunition fac
tory was blown up. The FribOurg rail-
way station was badly damaged. In
the principal Rhine cities many
houses are vacant, numbers Of persons
moving to central Germany.
The Paris war Office reports a series
of strong German attacks in the direc-
tion of Samogneaux, north of the BOis
des Caurieres, and in the Bezonvaux
region. French troops entered the en-
emy trenches at Marlancourt on a
front Of 1000 meters (about five-sixths
of a mile) to a depth of 800 meters
(about half mlle).
Great bombing raids against Ger
many have been carried out by British
airplanes. The barracks and rail-
way station at Kaiserlautern (Ba-
varia) were attacked.
German army officers were reported
to be active in Organization work" in
Russia. According to information to
London from Tokyo, a German army
OF nearly 10000 prisoners of war is be-
ing formed in Siberia, adding fresh
peril to the situation in the far East.
A number of large Swedish trawlers
and one of the largest Gothenburg
steamers have been captured by Ger
man submarines Off the Skaw, the
northern extremity of Jutland, Den
mark, and forced to go to Germany,
