The ever-increasing length of can
mons recently gave rise to the question
as to the length of the longest range of
ordnance ever successfully fired. The
surprising reply was Fourteen miles.
The term Ordnance" is taken to mean
anything that carries projectile, and
the piece of ordnance in question is
the straight iron tube which conveys
natural gas from Murrayville to Pitts
burg, Pa. The projectile fired through
this tube was large "gumball, which
fitted closely the interior of the pipe.
This was inserted at the gas well and
the gas turned on in full force. The
ball was driven the entire length of the
tube, coming out at the further end in
"few minutes" 1t thus appears that
the arts of peace may pro6Hee longer
guns than the arts of war.

of excellent reports to the probable yield.
Cotton has risen nearly one-half cent,
though the best recent reports from Texas
as TO the yield are confirmed. The COT
fee market is half a cent higher, with a
better demand. Oil is one and three-quarter
cents stronger, and foreign hides one half cent
higher. Sugar has advanced a sixteenth and
lard nearly one-half a cent though other pork
products are steady, and hogs 10 cents per 100
pounds lower. The stock market has shared the
upward tendency, showing an advance OF about
one-half dollar per share since a week ago.
Exports from New York fall 81 100000 behind
last years for the week reported and IA per cent.
behind for the last FIVE weeks. The accounts for
interior cities continue cidedly favorable. As
to collections also, while some complaints APP
