A campaign against the giving of flowers and floral' tokens In memory of the dead has been started by the United Hebrew Charities of No. 356 Second avenue, on the grouud that the millions of dollars spent annually In this way would form a finer tribute to the dead If the money were given' to charities In the name and to the memory of the dead. The directors of the United Hebrew Charities believe that although their stand may surprise those who have been accustomed to show their sympathy by sending Cowers, the Idea wlll'eventuaUy be appreciated as one honoring the dead and at the same time aidlug the living. The plan Is now being tried by the Fed. cratloo of Jewish Charities in Washing, ton, and the Jewish charity funds have been considerably increased in the capital Recording to Morris D.

A continuation of rop damage reports contributed the strength. Selling was largely in the way of realizing. Corn closed with net gains c to c. A good demand from shorts carried values upward. The old bull crowd was in command of the situation, and a move to buy openly set the pit buying as one man. New high prices for the crop were established. Oats closed higher, final figures showing advances ranging from W to TV,c. The market acted in (rmpathy with wheiit and coin. Both shorts and longs were buyers. Provisions were irregular.

April 6 1 Wheat It was a day of extreme nerv-! oustiess for the wheat trade. Ksoh dayi brings a more decided change in the vol-i time of trade from May contracts to later! months. We began advising such a moveearly In tbe week and It nas become so general that tbe natural volume of trade; is now couilned to the new crop months.; where the current news and ' legitimate conditions are shaping prices as fast as! tee trade can get at the facts regarding? the growing crop. More thau anything! fci.se, ine iroiie auu the public watched the crop reports from both sides of the river. At this writing it is fairly well establlshed that the injury to wheat in the west and southwest is confined to unimportant! spots: mat 1 lie acreage, as a whole, Is ptouilslng. This is vouched for by thei best crop experts now going over that! portion of the wheat belt. The worst reports came from cetitral and southern Illinois and originated chiefly through St. Louis and 1'eoria houses. There nas much continuation of adverse crop talk in Illinois to dcelop a bull market. Keports from tbe southeast were less num erous and more connlctiiii;. Michigan stste report given out put wheat 84. A few Indiana counties claim thai much wheat will be plowed. I'art of strength In wheat was borrowed from strength In corn. Northwest re-1 cfcipis moderate over the holiday. St. Louis una Kanusns city together will' possibly reduce wheat stocks tor the week I u 1);. if million bu. No cash sales to mills or other shipment were reported iu Chi-! cago. It Is a market In which It is well I to let the -May entirely alone and be guided as far as possible by tbe most reliable crop reports In the later inoiubs. j Corn It was a continuation of the old' story In com, so much strength in cash: market In all quarters that speculators! could not ignore the fact, and futures werei bougot on iurtner auvance to considerably , higher prices than before recorded on the crop. Sample market c to lc higher, shipping sales 125,000 bu. At St. Louis cash corn was quoted 2c to 2MiC higher,; shipping sales there over night, 100,000 bu. 1 feoria casn coru lc up, auu a new bign record for futures in both southwest mar-1 kets. It is noted that it requires a little uiwif ruwi 1 nM . on iue pari 01 ine uuu leaders to keep prices moving. Good ob servers over the southwest are reporting more favorably on teed outlook and om country offerings of corn at the higher! prices. No one questions the strong situa-, tlou. but we think it wise to be prepared; for a natural reaction of more importance! than any yet recorded since prices ad-j vauced high in the 70's. ! Oats The commercial nosition of oats! Is strong and the early months may work! up the 60-ceut level with the disappear-j ance of stocks In Chicago. The thing fori the trade to settle is the prices of the; later months, the July price depending al most entirely on tne wentner auu seeding, leports. Sample oats market was ic tol 9c higher and shipping sales 100,000 bu. i Provisions Considerable support fori products from packers through brokers'! tirms.

HAD A BIG DOCKET Eight men faced the mayor in police court this morning, the biggest haul made for some time. Four drunks, two scrappers, one beggar and one wife deserter were up for trial. The drunks received $1 and costs each, except one man who plead guilty and then said he was not drunk. His trial was postponed until Tuesday, prosecutor Lade saying that if he was not guilty, he could not plead guilty. A beggar arrested yesterday was fined $1 and costs. He had a crippled arm, caused by a steel rail falling on it some five years ago. He had not made much in Richmond having live cents in his possession when arrested. Poultry Dept. By Mrs. S. P. Pike DEAD IN THE SHELL. Since the advent of the incubator as a means of hatching chicks, more complaints are heard of poor hatches than when we depended almost entirely upon "Old Biddy" to do the hatching for us. The probable reason for this is that more importance is attached to the fact that we receive a poor Aatch from a large incubator full of eggs than from a single hen. So it is, that when less than fifty percent of the eggs placed in an incubator fail to hatch, we begin immediately to inquire into the cause, but if the old hen brings off only six or seven chickens we usually place the blame on the poor old hen or some other equally foolish reason. But incubators have now reached a point of perfection, where there are plenty of good ones on tha market which will, and do hatch a larger percentage of eggs than can be 6aid of most hens. Usually the fault of a poor hatch lies with the eggs, and it is not difficult to determine whether or not the fault lies with them. Eggs should be tested on or about the tenth day after they are set. If the fertility runs below 75 per cent, you can expect the remainder of the eggs left in the machine to hatch poorly, for the chances are that the germs in the greater percent of them are weak, due. more than likely to unnatural "conditions imposed upon the stock that produced the ,On the other hand, if the eggs test 80 per cent fertile or better, and a poor hatch results, the cause must be attributed to some other source. I have heard general complaint so far this year, of great numbers of in fertile eggs tested out and the following poor hatches. Especially has this been true of those who have tried to 1 hatch February and March chicks. I ! can find no other cause for this state j of affairs, other than the unnatural conditions imposed upon our flocks on Folger P. Wilson Henry J. Pohlmeyer Harry C. Downing Harvey T.

account of the Ions and 'we win

ter we hare just experienced. The eggs should again be tested be tween the fifteenth and eighteenth days, to remove all dead germs that man contaminate the live ones left. Even then, we cannot expect a perfect hatch, for unless the fertility of the eggs has been above 90 per cent, at least one-tenth of the chicks are found dead in the shell, too weak to force their way to light and air, and finally smothering to death for lack of air. SCRATCH I NGS. Don't get discouraged, there's plenty time yet to hatch chickens. Don't be afraid to keep the heat up in your incubators. This winter weather in April requires more heat to develop the germ. Don't blame the weather for everything, but change when the weather changes. Many chicks die for lack of fresh air. If it were sold in packages or bottles, there would be an increase in its use by some. The cost of keeping good thoroughbred stock is no more than in keeping mongrels, aid there is much greater profit in the long run. The interest in both thoroughbred and market poultry is constantly on the increase. The observing poultry raiser cannot fail to note how eagerly young chicks seize any kind of a scrap of meat. They will tug and pull and tumble over each other in their eagerness to get a bit of flesh, either raw or cooked. This indicates the desire which nature has given them to supply their wants. Do not feed young chicks for at least 4S hours after they are hatched. Give them pure, clean water to drink and some green food each day. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Ulcers on Liver. One of my hens drooped and died. She had been well and fat. Examination of the carcas showed ulcers and sores on the liver, the liver being enlarged and the blood thick. W. J. N. Ans. The difficulty 1st one that is very frequent among flocks that are fed often, and especially on grain ex clusively. Confinement, lack of exercise and a surfeit of food may be given as the cause. No remedy Is available except to change the method of management. Vertigo. I have a great deal of trouble with my chickens having "blind staggers." They are otherwise hearty and appar ently well. Mrs. H. E. W. Ans. Probably they have been fed too highly and are in a very fat condition. The remedy is to reduce .the food, and feed only once a day for a few weeks, and then make them scratch for food. Charcoal For Poultry. I am told to feed my hens charcoal, but the one who told me to do so could not explain why. Why is it advisable, and should anything in particular be done to it before it is fed ? C. S. Ans. Common wood charcoal is one of the test and cheapest purifiers of the system that we have. It absorbs gases and poisons that prevent digestion, and thus enables the fowl to make the best use of its food. It should be fed to fowls as often as possible. Some poultry raisers keep it in hoppers so that the fowls may have access to it at all times. The Best Layers. Which breed of chickens will lay the most eggs between October first and February first, the times when eggs are highest in price? F. S. Ans. Impossible to answer. It depends on the way the individuals are bred, fed and cared for, as much as on the variety. Get strong, vigorous stock that is bred for early laying, take the proper care of them and you will get the eggs. Mating Ducks. Are ducks mated one drake and ten to fifteen ducks the same as chickens are, or is there some other system? J. B. D. Ans. They are mated in smaller numbers than chickens a drake to every four or five ducks. FOR SALE To make room for young stock, will sell my Pen S. C.
