ment showing a clear decrease la tha
margin of tha surplus were advanced as
ostensible reasons for soma of tha sell
ing of stock The bank statement did
not appear until after tne market cloecd.

CATTLE The week closes with tha usual
small run ot cat i.e. and aa there waa noth
ing of consequence on taie lha market waa
quotably unchanged.
For the week prices have been aectded;y
erratic for beef ateer owing to the un
evenly distributed receipts and the unsea
sonable weather. There waa a rriarp ad
vance on Monday, but on Tueaday ami
Wednesday the market reacted, all of Mon
day s advance being lost and perhaps mora,
to Oa Thursday and Friday, with meager
supplies, prices firmed up again and at the
close of the week quotations are ganeraily
a shade stronger than at the close of last
week and In some cases aa much as legist:
higher. Thia Improvement has been tlue,
however, mors to tha small supply than to
any Increaae In the demand, and with pack
era' wants comparatively limited It will
take a connnuauon ot ma present iignt
margeung is eiiect an lining uks a perma
nent revival In Lha trad
Tha market for cowa and heifers has been
mora erratic than tha trade for beef steers,
but the Improvement has been more pro
nounced toward the cloae of tha week owing
to tha outside order As compared with
the close of last weak cowa and belters are
selling 15f3c higher and tbe trade has
been fairly good owing ta tha limned gup
ply. The weakness In the fat cattle market bad
a depressing Influence in the trade tor
stockerg and feeders, and while the market
started out In good shape the close wss
very slow and fully 3ac lower ail around.
The heavy grades are probably not over
Uah 15c lower, while the light and medium
weight kinds are fully 25c lower and hard
to sell st that- There baa bean a good in
quiry right along for stock heifers and
these are soma what higher for the week,

"If women would only take a little Intel
ligent care of the plants which they re
ceive at CTtrtatmAs the plants would last
much longer and often produce a succes
sion of new buds and blossoms,' said
florist who for tha last half dosen years
has ' made a specialty of supplying ths
Christmas trade with blooming plant
Take that group ot assies a. tor Instance).
"The retail price of tha poorest Is 212 and
soma of them are priced at almost doubts
that amount. They ars all perfect speci-
1 ,,. eo,, me , ,ot of n(1

mjn.h
they will be either in ash barrels or orna
menting fire escape
"Could these azaleas be mads to produce
tresh leaves and blossoms in ths ordinary
house or apartment? Tea, and with only
a little Intelligent cars and A few cents
for plant food-
"Of sourse, these blossoms and buds will
ail drop off within a month, but If ths
piavnt Is sprinkled daily and ones a wssk
a doss of plant food la given new leaves
and bud a wtU make their appearano
Thare will be many mors leaves than blos
som but enough of both to keep the plant
ornamental.

"For house sprinkling a' toy watering

very beat thing one could have. Ths leaves
snould bet, sprinkled sufficiently to give
them a comfortable moist appearano and
the earth in Iho pot aoouid be wet, hot not

"Plant food is best given diluted at ths
root 1 of tha p. ant, but should never be
allowed to touch tha foliage, aa It wiu

Ones a week ia often enough to apply tt.
and where plauita bavs not been as severely
forced aa the aw asaieaa ones In ten days
Will ba sufficient.
"It seems useless to state that no plant
alii thrive If sat on lop ot radiator. Tat
many women who pretend to have both
braina and heart oftea set their Christ mas
plants on ths radiator.
"Atalras need an even temperature and
for that reason they will ba Injured if
kept In k hot room all day and at night
left lo receive lbs cold blasts from aa
open window. II there ia only one room
and Lha window must bs raised at night
then the plant anould have sufficient oov
ertng ba protect It.
"baby ramblers requirw about lha same
attention as aaalra These dainty roses
ars very popular this season and may be
kept ornamental until il Is Uma for them
to ba planted out ot doors If tbey ars
properly tended- Ths dead blossoms should
bs pin chad oft so that tkk strength of lha

Any florst wll finish the pot and gfod

One of thu most asttsfsrt -try bloomers
that are popular h:'s yesr Is the Persist

"These plants are pot difficult to keep
thrifty If k few points are obsei red. Over
watering or mcvtrg into a cooler room
will cause the dark, handsome lower

liquid plant food once every tea days or
(wo weeks J he potnaettia will remain bright

ktf'Ut the roots the leave should bs
sprinkled rr washed off sufficiently often
to keep them clean. In May ths plant
should bs bedded out In ths garden to
aupply stock for next autumn.
"The Christmas heath ia another popular
plant that will present sheet of blossoms
for Christmas snd afterward keep orna

cord room with grind vent nation.
"The Chinese primrose Is a popular plant
among those srho cannot afford anything

"Wlille the spesr Tower to not a cheap,
plant, small k-pwrlmena may ba had at A
low price. Its bright red berries and deep
glossy foliage make ft very effect Ivs lit
bouse decoration and its ability to accom
modate itself to conditions tn almost any
living room makes it desirable. It should

a month watered dally and tha leaves
wiped off often enough to keep then claaa
