REACTI0NARY TREND
OF PRICES FOR WEEK
Wall Street Dealings Indicate
Slackening of Industries
and Trade.
BY the Associated Press.

Iy the Associated PreSS.
NEW YORK, March 29.-Stock
prices turned reactionary this week
as Wall street began to discount in
dications of a slackening in industry
and trade. Bond prices shaded on the
disappearance of easy money rates.
Weakness also developed in the COM
modify markets. Trading in the for
eign exchange became more quiet on
the subsidenCe of heavy speculation
in French francs. firmness being the
rule for all the principal rates.
Withdrawal of interior funds from
this center and the distribution of the
huge surplus built up in connection
with March Is income tax payments
resulted in q stiffening of money
rates, which sent call funds as high
as 5 u per cent, as against an official
low of 2i2 last week.
Selling pressure in the stock mar
ket originated largely with the pro-
fessional element, repeated attacks of
which succeeded in unsettling the
of twenty leading industrial stocks to
new low ground for the year.
Rail and oil shares gave i'm
pressive demonstrations of independ-
ent strength. Heavy buying of the
rails was predicated on the unusual
ly favorable character of most of the
February earnings statements which
appeared during the week, and specu-
lative expectation of special dividend
developments by several of the car
riers in the next few months
Improved trade conditions resulting
from the further decrease in crude oil
production and the steady increase in
consumption were the dominant fac
tor in the purchase of the oils Shares
of companies with huge amounts of
oil in storage were particularly ia
vored.
Steel shares held relatively steady

maintained at a high rate and pub

FAV0RS BALTIMORE PORT.
Importations Of Cuban Pineapples
Coming by That Route.

BALTIMORE. March 20 (SpeciaD.-
Practically all Cuban pineappIes i'm
ported to the United States this
spring and summer will be shipped
through the port of Baltimore. ac-
cording to announcement by the Nun
son Steamship Company, which will
handle the shipments. This will make
Baltimore the largest importer OF
fruits on the east coast.
The first full cargo of apples
will arrive here from Havana about
April 90.
More than twenty full cargoes of
pineapples are expected during the
spring and early summer. The first
two or three weeks there will be one
cargo q week. Then the shipments
will be increased.
For many years the pineapple traf-
fic has been moving from Cuba to
Key West and other gulf ports for
transshipment throughout the United
States. However. realizing the rail
facilities in Baltimore and its central
location, the fruit importers decided
that this port furnished the best pos
sible terminal.

took of their hats Others soon fol-
lowed suit, and many of the old,
musty rules appeared in danger.
The men seldom rebel. On enter
ing or leaving the chamber they al

demands. They never carry cane
or overcoat on the floor, nor any

A Vivacious Engine.
From the Milwaukee Journal.

An engineer was giving evidence in a
case in which a farmer was suing a
railway company for damages resulting
from the death Of a cow which had been
run into by a train.
The farmers lawyer was heckling the
engineer, and kept reverting to his pet
question, which was:
Now tell me, was the COW on the
track?"
At last the engineer became angry and
answered the question:
We'll, II you want me to tell the real
truth, the COW was bathing in the stream
the other side of the track But the en-
gine saw her, leaped off the rails, dashed
over the bank and, landing right on top
of the COW. strangled her to death with
out a word"

The manufactured duckfoot type of
c%ultivator has been highly salts
factory for summer tillage purposes
and many of such implements are in
use but there still remains a large
number of farmers who are seeking
an efficient implement at the very
minimum outlay of cash.
Homemade implements are attract
ing considerable interest in Montana
and an especial interest is being
aroused in some of the ingenious de-
vices worked out by farmers of the
neighboring states of Oregon and
Washington. There are at least
three of such implements used by
farmers to the west which will be
worth considering in Montana; the
homemade duckfoot c%ultivator, the
improved gooseneck slicker and the
U-iron double rod weeder.
The homemade duckfoot cultivator
offers an excellent opportunity for

Some Practical Ideas for Devising
of Efficient Tillage Machinery

level, slickers are employed which ex-
tend anywhere from "a to 40 feet in
width. The wider types are usually
supported by rollers or wheels in the
place of the iron runners used on the
smaller machines.
For Montana conditions, an i'm
proved type of smaller gooseneck is
recommended for attention. While
the ordinary slicker has been found
to do the work and is being used in
this state in the medium to heavy
soils, the dumping of the machine is
quite a atSk. The usual practice is
to dump the machine in windrows and
later work the windrows lengthwise.
The dumping involves the tedious job
of alighting from the tailboard, per-
hitting the machine to dump, pulling
the blade into the soil again and get
ting on the tailboard ready to repeat
the operation at the next windrow.
The illustration shows the improved
Walla Walla type in two sections but
the principle may be applied to a sin
gle section as we'll. 1t will be noted
that the improvement consists of the
elimination of the labor compelling
tailboard and the substitution there
for of a dump board placed on a
framework of angle iron, so con
structed as to give the man on the
board a strong leverage on the wide
blade. The depth of cultivation is,
of course, regulated by the position of
the driver on the dump board.
This slicker is a good machine for
heavy soils where stationary rod
weeders would not work very we'll.
1t is often used in connection with
the duckfoot cultivator, using each
machine about half of the time.
County agents car give more detailed
regarding the construc-
ton of the ordinary slicker and its
transformation into the improved and
convenient model.
While the ordinary double rod
has proven it's merits on med
.um to light soils, the U-iron double
rod weeder is recommended over the
