No General Rule Can Be Recon-
mended az Vegetables and Soils
Differ Greatly.

There is no general rule regarding
the depth of planting. as different
kinds OF vegetables and dlfferent soils
necessitate different practices. The
smaller the seeds the shallower the

heavy soils the covering should be
lighter than In light soils.

REACT
after ACTIVE
MORNING START

Chicago, Feb. 2e,-Wheat was
active ct the start today, the May
delivery showing early strength.
but prices reacted quickly because
OF . fairly general selling on the
advance. There was. some talk Of
q minimum export price being
placed on Argentine wheat and
country offerings to arrive were
small in practically all sections.
After starting Nc lower to lie
higher. with March at $1.e8 to
SISSY, and May $1.57x to SISSY,
a reaction set in and carried prices
below yesterdays finish.
Reports Of improvement in the
export demand caused wheat to
rally later, but the market became
unsteady and fluctuated rapidly
within a narrow range. The close
was unsettled with prices 1c lower
to xc higher, including March at
1853 to 1.68A, and May 1.57 to
1.57A.
In corn, the market continued
its downward trend despite the
strength in wheat, and closed weak
with prices NC to INC lower than
the previous finish with May 68Hc
to CSC.
Corn receipts were larger than
expected and while the market was
firm at the start in sympathy with
wheat, it eased of on general sell
ing. Messages from scattered
points indicate that farmers are not
selling although the roads gener-
ally are good. Initial quotations
which were hc higher to We low
er, with May zoe to 701ac, were fol-
lowed by moderate declines.
Oats showed strength at the start
but eased off with other cereals,
after starting unchanged to Nc
higher, with May 1880, the mar
wet sagged.
Higher prices for hogs gave
strength to provisions.
