March 4.—Prices broke with violence in the later dealings in tho stock market today, and the market gave every appearance of wholesale liquidation being in force.

The supposition gained ground also that there was some large liquidation of what a-e called Investment holdings going on. These reports caused a gloomy feeling over the whole industrial and business outlook. They were accompanied by come rumors calculated to deepen the gloomy feeling, but which were without confirmation. It was heralded abroad, on the other hand. that, a powerful bear par ty had been formed in the speculation made up of men previously influential in the steel and allied industries. The sup position of the leadership induced some large following of the selling side. The earliest show of pronounced weak ness was in the Hill stows, with the Harriman stocks in company. The rapid downward course of these stocks gave rise to talk of liquidation of Harriman hold ings of the Hill stocks and of market re prisals for grievances believed to grow out of the Harriman investigation or of some of the information furnished for the purposes of that investigation. Another source of weakness was the alleged needs of various corporations for new capital and the-high rates they would be abllged to pay for it. A number of preferred stocks on which the dividends have a comoaratively narrow surplus of earnings to depend made precipitate declines on comparatively light dealings. The cumu lative effect of these considerations and the growing weakness of the market had a demoralizing effect on the market, and the fall became rapid. Reading was strong and seemed to be accumulated with persistence into the afternoon. ,Tbo Coppers and United States Steel, also were !ate in yielding. London sent higher prices at the open ing. prompted by a favorable view of the passage of the Aldrich currency bill. This seemed to be -without effect in this market. Money here grew easier on call with the progress of the liquidation, but time loans fere strongly held. The clos ing tone was feverish and unsettled and the rally due to covering of shorts, was porly held. Ronds were weak. Total sales, mr value, $1,714,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. The total sales of stocks today were 1.484,000 shares. New York Money Market. NEW YORK.

Rubber Trees and Vines Grow Wild in the Philippines. Manila Letter in Chicago News. Two enormously valuable products which grow wild in great abundance in Mindanao, and which you can seo almost everywhere in the forests, are- gutta percha and ordinary rubber. Gutta percha, which is used to insu late marine cables, occurs in only one species of trees, while rubber is found in more than 150 varieties of trees. There is even a rubber vine in Min danao reaching sometimes a length of Hollyhocks. The hollyhock is an old garden fav orite of strong, vigorous growth and most ornamental character. A f \v years ago a disease appeared- wlii h made it difficult to grow them suc cessfully. but the disease has been controlled, and new interest is now being taken in hollyhocks. A largo number of named varieties is ;e>w catalogued. Plants which have been grown during the winter in pots un der glass should be available for planting out in the spring, and should be moved as soon as the soil is mod erately warm and in good workable condition. Their cultivation Ls simple and they should bloom easily. Where the weather is cool they will continue to bloom for many weeks, but hot weather shortens their flowering pe riod. TheUliollyhooks are grown in both the single and double form, and there are many varieties to sc! -ct from. Within the last few years a strain has been evolved which iv’il bloom the first year from seed. I tv starting them in March' and giving at tention to their culture, flowers should be had in ten to fifteen weeks. These, plants can be treated as annuals. To false plants for llowerina :.oxt spring, sow seed in August, and when the plants are a few inches high transplant them to small pots or set them out in a cold frame (a glass covered bed). Water should be giv. n as peeded and good drainage supplied. If the plants are in pots, put them first in two-inch pots and transplant to three or four-inch pots three or four weeks later. They will be pro tected In the frame in the winter months and will be In excellent con dition to set out in the early spring. —National Council of Horticulture.

In Mindanao is a rich, black, sandy loam which Is perfect. I took Mr. Dorsey. United States Govern ment expert in soils, down there, and he said he had never seen anything else like it. There are plenty of streams and plenty of water for irri gation. Probably 90 per cent of the gum now extracted in Mindanao Is gutta percha and not rubber.” “•What price does gutta percha bring. Major?” "Gutta percha sells in Singapore for from 100,pesos ($50 American money) up to 600 pesos per picul of 127 1-2 pounds. That's as much as $2.18 a pound, gold, wholesale. At Cottabato, at the head of the Cottabato Valley, in Mindanao, we charge a royalty of 7 pesos per picul if the price for which it is sold is 70 pesos—that is to say, 10 per cent.

He said that I ought to begin at once, and that I bad al ready lost two years. Then he said in substance this: "At forty a man reaches the top of the hill of life and starts down on the sunset side. The ordinary man. the average man, not to particularize too closely and say the commonplace man, has at that age succeeded or failed: in either case he has lived all of hls life that is likely to be worth recording: also in either case the life lived Is worth setting down and can not fail to be interesting if he comes as near to telling the truth about him self as he can.

That means that $10,000 worth of gutta percha has been shipped from the lit tle town of Cottabato in a single month during the American occupa tion. This is at the rate of $120,000 a year. Shut off as a military necessity at the beginning of the American oc cupation In one year 400,000 pounds of gutta percha alone were exported from the Cottabato Valley by traders. The great value is apparent. The trade has now been reopened and it is ex pected that this year’s export will be very valuable. The gutta percha tree, the rubber tree and rubber vino grow wild in great abundance and luxuri ance. Gutta percho is confined ex clusively to the southern half of the Malay archipelago, including Borneo and the Island at Singapore.’ "How much can one make out of rubber Major?” "In the first year of bearing, when the trees are about five or six years old, one gets about a pound of rubber per tree. It increases in amount each year, so that one get= from three to six pounds per tree. Para rubber is worth from $3 to $10 a poun^. Ten years ago there were about 10,000,000 pounds marketed. Last year 66.000,000 pounds were marketed. They are go ing wild about rubber all through Java. They have planted 70.000 acres there and In the Straits Settlement, which . will be ready for market in 1911. But . the yield wil! be less than 10 per cent of the present amount marketed; It will have no effect on the market.
