cember touched 1880. and March and

was given recent rumors that Germany
was buyer of Rio coffee by the fact
that three steamships were loading at
Rio for Europe and through an advance
in Rio of 1875 reis. Some traders ex-
pressed the opinion that indications
pointed TO n revival of central European

CORN MARKET Is
QUIET AND STEADY
Trading Is Dull Throughout
Session-Slight Rally in
Afternoon.

Corn prices were yesterday steady in
quiet trading. The early hours were ex-
tremely dull and the afternoon saw but
little change Options advanced frac-
tionally In the morning and only after
long intervals There was slight rally
in the afternoon. but at the close prices
were near opening figures. Settlement
OF the longshoremens strike. continued
Improvement in the Presidents health,
firmness in hogs and unsettled weather
failed to produce buying. The market
for the last few days has been suffering
from sentimental selling, due to the
strike, and it was considered that buy
ing would appear at its termination.
Some buying did come yesterday, but
not sufficient to give the market buoy
ancy. Orders were lacking. The old
bear arguments were present and it was
probable that the trade was thinking OF
the large crop and it's escape from frost
and failed to buy. Hogs were steady in
the morning, but neither they nor soft
weather reported affected trade.
slight and short lived rally came
in the afternoon as the result of advance
in lard, reports Of export sales in oats
and weather. The rise in lard was due
to foreign orders. More than 100000
bushels of oats were reported bought for
the European trade.
The farmer still holds the key to the
situation and It Is on him that the corn
trade depends. Dispatches from the
United Kingdom say that the market for
Argentine corn there has recovered
Some shippers are claiming that at a
maximum price of 65 a quarter of $50
pounds. and free tonnage freight rate
10 to 10 shillings a ton dearer. that
business is not workable at a profit. The
Government has sold Plate corn rather
freely because the official freight rate
from the Argentine to the United King
dom has remained at 62.6 a ton, while
the free tonnage rate is materially
higher and in the neighborhood of 1855
a ton
Oats were steady throughout the ses-
sion, but failed to show independent
strength. For the most part oats fol-
lowed corn. The settlement of the strike
failed materially to affect that cereal,
Argentine oats remain dull and heavy
but foreign buyers do not show hispo-
sition to take hold on broad scale
Provisions were up, their early strengtr
being due to rise in hogs. and held

s9 A GOOD LAW

A bill was passed in the House Hais week. which if adopted and acted upon by the various towns, will mark @he- passing of ice-covered walks several months each year and will necessitate the construction of new walks. where needed. Following is tie substance of this bill:
 Providing that towns may make bylaws concerning sidewalks within their. respective limits, may regulate the use and provide for maintenance thereof, may provide for the con- sszac6Sn: of sidewalks, and may pro- vide. for the removal of snow and ice This bill privides, further, that tAe selectmen may construct or re- pair, such walk or remove any snow sr ice therefrom upon the default or neglect of the owner, tenant or oc- enpant to comply with the bylaws.
 This town has many ice and snory- covered sidewalks in winter, which are not only nuisance but men, ace, to the limbs of pedestrians who are forced to use them. It's a good bill and we sincerely hope it will be- come necessary for this and every other. small town to formulate and enforce such bylaws

THE FARM BUREAU

Americans are few in number who have not read of the fertility of the soil all along the Atlantic seaboarG when this nation was still in it's in. fancy. The number who do not know that this same soil, which brought forth bumper crops fol years, has become almost exhausted Is comparatively large.
 The reason for this exhaustion and consequently poorer crops each sea. son, was due to the fact that those who titled the soil either lacked the knowledge necessary to replace the animal and plant food taken from the. soil or else land was so cheay that it did not pay to try to retain ftss former ability of production.
 As the country has become more Aenseay populated good framing land has advanced in price by leaps and bounds. This, together with the fact that thousands of fertile acres were being turned into barren, so'-- wastAs of unproductive land, due ic planting the same crops year after year. Similar conditions were little s GhouGnt of at first, but eventually il was realized that the situation was SC serious that government interven- tixn yas absolutely necessary. This resulted in the appointment of county. agents and the organization
