How to Plant
BeetS

Garden bcets may be grown in any
good soil. but thrive best on rich,
sandy loan. The seed can be sown
about the time tho last frosts are due.
and the young bec;s will be ready for
use In four to six weeks. The seed
should be sown in drill with about
eight or ten seed balls to the foot
1t should be borne IN mind that each
seed ball contains from three TO six
seeds and that the beets will require
cohsldcraoic thinning. The young
bcets that are pulled out in thinning
may be used as greens during the
early spring. Where the bcets are to
be given hand cultivation entirely the
rows may be placed closely as
twelve to fourteen inches apart and
the plants should be thinncd to two TO
three inches in the row.
late planting of bects may be made
in June or as late as August in some
localities for fall use and for storage.

The Marine Deal.

No confirmation OF the story that
F. A. S. Franklin. president of the Inter
national Mercantile Marine. had closed
negotiations for the sale OF the com
pany's tonnage under the British flag
could be obtained in the financial district
yesterday Mr.. Franklin is known to
have gone abroad in connection with the
marine company. but it Is understood on
high authority that his mission did not
concern the long talked of negotiations
for the sale Of the company's ships 1t
was learned yesterday that he is COM
ing back to this country with some sort
OF plan which will be highly interesting
to stockholders, but as repeatedly
pointed out in this column, hts plan win
concern something entirely different than
the old negotiations for the ships. What
Mr. Franklin really went abroad for was
to gain control OF $40 900, 900, which has
been tied up in the trea suries of the
various British subsidiaries since the be-
ginning of the war. 1t is understood
that negotiations for the transfer OF
this money have been concluded and that
the announcement will concern them
rather than any OF the thousand and one
rumors which have been in circulation
in the financial district in the last few
days.

PegginE a Front.

Participants in the recent large pool
operations In the oils and other special
ties are understood to be at their wits
ends as how to transfer paper profits to
actual ones and avoid payment OF a
large portion of the profits in taxes. So
long as they are in stocks the tax col
lector stays away, but the moment they
are cashed in the tax must be paid
This. according to some commission
house managers, is one OF the reasons
for the failure of the market to have
substantial reaction. What the ma
jority of big operators are doing, II Is
understood. is selling an equal amount
OF their long holdings short in other
commission houses. thus hedging their
transactions and pegging their profits.
This. In short, takes the Spectator en-
tirely out OF the market. for what he
le ses on one account he gains on the
other. until such time as the tax situa-
ton looks more reasonable from a pure
" speculative viewpoint. The only trou-
bic with this scheme is that the specu-
lator receives no income on the stock.
for though he gets a dividend on his
long stock he must pay It over on that
sold short.

Japanese Getting Busy.

Another report of moro than passing
interest heard yesterday in steel circles,
which also lacked confirmation, concerned
the shipment from Seattle of a ire
mendous supply of scrap metal which
has been held in warehouses there by a
big Japanese syndicate. The report
placed the value Of this scran at around
'$75,O00,000 and declared that its ship
ment out of this country would be apt
to have marked effect on steel prices
1t was said that the Japanese interests
have been accumulating this supply of
scrap for several months and that II
has bee2 held in Seattle because Of a
lack or adequate ocean tonnage with
which to remove It. Taken with the
purchase by Japanese interests in this
country of 100000 pounds of prime
electrolytie copper for export to the
Orient, this is considered first class ev,-
dence of an intention on the part Of the
NIPPON industrial world to make its &C.
tivities of the near future plainly dis

on peace. according to the advices, is ex-
pected to be delivered in July in person,
