FINANCIAL WORLD
FEELS REASSURED
Corner In Stocks Has Been
Praotioally Settled.
GOOD NEWS FROM LONDON
Minority Holders of Northern I’aolflc
Decldo to Settle With Shorts at ,Fl»-
ures Agreed Upon by Morgan and
Other Manipulators.
Nsw York, May 10.—Sentiment iu
the financial world was much reassured
today by the announcement last night
that the shorts in Northern Paofllowore
to be settled with at 160, thereby end
ing the corner in the stocks. Brokerage
offices were filled with speculators at an
e»ly hour, and to some of the large
houses admission was to be had only by
ticket
Before the New York opening Inter
est centered In London quotations, and
tifnen these oame the better feeling
became stronger and the New York
opening prices wsre awaited with a con-
OttSnoe in marked contrast to the com
plete demoralization that prevailed on
ev»y hand yesterday morning.
A dispatch was rectlved from Lon.
doh saying that at 1:46 in that oity all
American secnritlea were higher, and
the London 3 p. in. quotations showed
further advances.
The anxiously looked for opening of
Northern Pacific was a transaction if
600 shares at ISO, and this was taken as
an indication that all of the minor hold
ers of the stock bad decided to settle
with the shorts at the figures agreed
upon by J, Pierpont Morgan & Co. and
Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
Mnrkct Feverish.
In spite of the better tone, lsoivever,
the market wits very feverish mid price
changes after tho first spurt became
wide and erratic. There was much
doubt iu the street as to whether tho tie-
cision of the holders of Northern Paoifio
to bo easy w'itii tho shorts meant more
thnn a temporary truco betwcon the
conflicting interests. Many securities
have sold at their highest record figures
recently on tin, belief that they would
enjoy benefit lrom one or tho other
strong interests of railway managers,
autl some hesitation to buy was caused
by fear that the hostilities developed by
Northern Paciflo contest might delny in
definitely or prevent altogether the
plans for extensive combinations of rail
road capital dor closely centralized
management.
Cheering News.
At about 10:20 the cheering news wns
given out that tho Stock Kxchaugo had
officially announced the successful pass
ing of all clearing sheets and the honor-
lug of all checks given by exohango
members yesterday. This announce
ment effectually disposed of. tho rumors
current yesterday that certain houses
would be unablo to meet their objec
tions of yesterday's contracts.
The trading became so feverish around
10:60 that it was very bard to follow
the price changes, but thcro was a no
table absenco of rush to sell which was
the distinguishing characteristic yester
day morning.
Prices continued to fluctuate irregu
larly but with a lessening rangoand
were generally bighor by 11 o’clock on
a small volume of dealings, ou the offi
cial announcement that all clearing
sheets have gone through the Stock Ex
change clearing bouse perfectly and
that all checks wero honored.
Further Clearing of Atmosphere.
Thcro was a farther clearing of the
financial atmosphere when it was an
nounced that an order to show causo ob
tained in the supreme court directing
certain persons to show cause why they
should not bo restrained from trading
3 ' Northern Paoifio would not be serv-
, the agreement to settle at 150 hav
ing been accepted as satisfactory.
Arthur R. Unburger. who obtained
the order, said that in the light of the
settlement made with the shorts the or
der would not bo served and that the
matter -ould bo allowed to drop.
Most the baying tbis morning was
believed to be for investment accoant,
as commission bouses deprecated the
trading on margins for the present.
Stupendous Losses.
Tho losses yesterday wore stupend
ous. One commercial paper places the
loss iu tho bucket 6hops throughout the
country yesterday at iffiO.OOO.OO 1 ), and if
the figure is anything like correct it
covers a profound impression of shrink
age in tho legitimate places. Natural'
tiie greater part of these wero losses
pnner, but they wero all sufficiently ta
gible to bo connted by owners nude
at olio time liavo been realized up
in cash.
The other side of tho story is short,
but it is full of tnlesof Yankeo enchant
ment. Tho men who had littlo dribs
and drabs ofXorthern Pacific nndclaimed
fortunes on them are generally tho he
roes of these tales. Then there wero
the few men who wero wise enough to
profit by tho slump of yesterday and got
the opportunity to do so. Everywhere
iu tho streets today they arc holding
post mortems. Some of these inquiries
show that there are men whom n quick
recovery of the market alono will save
from ultimate bankruptcy.
SJThe holiday tomorrow and the fact
that Sunday follows will, it is felt, have
a temltuc# to farther steady tho mar
ket, The’managers of tho Consolidated
Exchange liavo also decided to suspend
operations tomorrow, so there will bo a
great deal of house cleaning over Sun
day. Some small blocks of stock were
sold under tho hammer on the Consoli
dated Exchange today to meet the obli
gations of the concerns which were
done yesterday.

To Georgia Farmer: I wroto you Iasi
year a series of letters devoted almost
exclusively to the feodlngref livo stock,
tho preparation of scientific rations and
to the general principles underlying the
scientifio feeding of stock. As yon have
asked me so many questions about ferti
lizers, I propose now to write yon a se
ries of letters on that subjeot, giving
yon the benefit of what I may have
learned from books and from my exper
ience as an agricultural ohomlst
As the prime object of forming and
of fertilization Is the raising of orops,
we will begin by considering briefly
plant life.
What Is a plant? Let us examine and
make a rough analysis of one. Poll up
a green and vigorous plant, brush
the dirt from the roots and throw 11
down upon the ground with the rays of
the suu beating upon it. Soon it as
sumes a peonllar appearonoe, which
we call "wilted.” Had yon taken the
preeantion to weigh the plant when you
first pulled it up and then weighed it
again after a few hoars, when it looked
badly wilted, yon would find that it had
lost weight. By putting tho fresh
plant nndor a spcolally consiraoted
glass vessel and setting it in tho sun,
yon could prove to your own satisfac
tion that the canse of the loss in weight
was due to the loss of water. Tho wa
ter in the plant heated by tbe san rises
as vapor, and if yon had the special
glass vessel I speak of yon conld see the
water of tho cotton plant condense In
tho cool part of tho vessel in drops,
which you could oolloct and weigh; and
if you wero providod with sufficiently
dolicnto instruments, you woujd Hud
tho weight of this condonsod water
from tho cotton plant was exactly
equal to tho loss iu weight which it
sustained utter being badly wilted.
Young plants and vegetables fre
quently contain as much as nlno-tentbs
of their weight of water.
In makiug bay wo dry oat tho water
of tho grass in the sun, and when tho
grass has lost all tho water it will in this
way, it is said, bo "cured, ” and becomes
hay. Tbis air dry grass or hay still
contains from 8 to 12 per oent of water,
which con be driven oat of it by heating
it to the temperature of boiling water.
If we should do that, what was left
woald bo the “dry matter" of the plant.
This dry matter of the plant contains
all the valuable elements for which the
plant was grown. If wo examine this
dry matter fnrther, we find In a general
way that it la composed of two kinds of
bodies, one of whloh will born, or the
combustible, and another kind whleh
will not barn, the lncombastiblo or tho
ash. That part of ths plant whloh barns
or goes ap in smoko is derived very
largely from the air, and it gasoona in
Its nature.
If, now, we were to aoalyzo those
gases which escape cn burning tho
plant, and then analyze the ash whloh
was left, we should find that, betides the
nine-tenths water which the original
plant contained, the remaining tenth
contained these elements—carbon, hy
drogen, oxygen, nitrogen, potash, mag
nesia, lime, iron phosphorus and talphar
as essential elements; that it to say, we
should certainly find all those elements
present, as no plant conld exist without
them, eaohone being jntt as necessary
os the other to tho growth and life of
the plant; and if any one of them were
cut out, tho others being present, the
plant could uot develop.
Besides those elements just men
tioned, however, wo should also find in
tho ashes of the plant silica, chlorine,
soda and manganese, and sometimes a
few other elements, though none of
these last aro absolutely necessary to
the growth and development of plant
life.
These ash cloments, us wo may call
them, are all derived from tbe soil.
Ninety-five per cent of tbe dry matter
of the plant comes out of tbo air. and is
derived from tho gases which exist iu
tho air, the remaining 6 per etui of tho
dry matter being the ashes which come
oat of tho soil. Bo yon see tho mineral
part, which comes from the soil, is only
a very small part of the original plant,
but yet it is just as essential to"*tbe llfo
and growth of the plant as any or all
of tho others.
Perhaps you would liko to know how
it was discovered that the air furulshed
a large part of the dry matter of tbe
plant. An experiment like this was
made. Some white sand was thor
oughly horned, to destroy tho combtutl.
ble matter there might be iu it, and
then thoroughly washed with acid and
water to remove any soluble mineral
matter and just, leave pure sand. This
being pnt Into a box, a seed of oern lx
planted and watered with distilled wa
ter, or water containing no mineral.
The seed, after sprouting and growing
at long as it qpnld subsist on the food in
tho original grain of corn, was carefully
dried, all the water being driven oat in

ing water, and then the remaining dry
mattor was weighed. Xt was found that
tho weight far exceeded tbe weight of
the original grain of corn, and also that
this excess weight consisted entirely of
carbon hydrogen and oxygen; conse
quently, they mast have come from the
air and water, as they could, have come
from no other source.
Tho atmosphere contains a great
abundance of these elements, carbon,
hydrogen and oxygon, 'vliich are Id nec
essary to plaut life, so that it will not be
necessary for us to trouble about them in
studying tho subject of fertilizers, since
thoy are given "without money and
without prico."

per cent of tho dry matter of the crop,
