General Grain Summary.

CHICAGO, May |, 1893
1t was a dull day in wheat. Clearing
weather northwest, rains in England and all
over Kansas, and the balance of the winter
wheat belt caused weakness at the start. Pur-
chases by Pardridge the good exports and a
disposition to wait for more weather news
from continental Europe disposed many hold
ers to hang on and kept many shorts from sell
ing. Corn was dull and shaded slightly
down. Shorts il May are about all in. Oats
followed other grains. Most of the trade was
changing May contracts to more deferred
months. Provisions were lowered because of
liberal receipts of hogs and some buying. Lard
was comparatively steady, while porh suffered
more than anything on the list.

ERASTUS WYMAN ASSIGNS.
The Advocate of Commercial Reel
procity Fails For a Million.

Inc Advocate OF COmmefcial Reel
procity Fails For a Million.
NEW YORK, May 1.-The Evening
Post says: Erastus Wiman, the advo-
cate of commercial reciprocity with
Canada, the promoter of numerous OBJ
jects of more or less financial success,
and until recently member of the firm
of R. G. Dun & Co., has joined his wife
in making an assignment for the benefit
of his creditors. The total amount of
Mr.. Wiman's liabilities and assets is not
known. 1t is estimated, however, that
his liabilities will amount to at least
$1,000, 900, and they may exceed that
sum.
The only available assets are believed
to consist of some land on Staten
Island, which stands in the name of
his wife, Mr.. Wiman, as Canadian
and British subject, being unable to
hold any land in this country in his
own name. But for the transfer of
this land, the fact of Wiman's failure
might not have become generally known
for some time. In order, however, to
protect his creditors, an assignment in
trust was made, under the common
law, about month ago by Mr.. Wiman
and his wife, Mrs. Wiman transferring
about 400 acres of land on Staten Island,
which stood in her name, for the bene-
fit of the creditors. Mr.. Wiman, of
course, joined her in the assignment,
which is general one for the benefit
of all creditors without preference.

It is not often that one hears Of the
employment of mahogany as cross ties
in the construction Of a railroad, but
such an occurrence actually came TO
pass. In the winter of 1864 railroad
was in course of construction from Fort
Smith, Ark, to Little Rock. Funds
were low with the promoters of the en-
terprise, who finally found themselves
forced to surrender the property TO the
creditors. The road. which was graded
part of the way and a portion Of it in
readiness 10 receive the rails, was pur-
chased by two English capitalists for a
mere song. Shortly after making the
acquisition the English buyers set out b.
make an inspection of their property.
To their great amazement they discov-
cred that the cross ties laid upon the
bed awaiting the rails were hewn from
solid mahogany logs, rare and costly
hard wood. Great ranges Of these ties
Of the same material lined the grade
awaiting to be put down. The shrewd
English purchasers chuckled with de-
light on making the discovery, and set
to work at once TO have the ties con
veyed to Little Rock. Those which had
already been laid down were taken up
and added to the stock of the mahogany
timber. The ties were forwarded thence
to New York. from which place the tim
Der was shipped to England and sold.
The sales Of the ties alone netted the
spectators . handsome profit, and in
lieu of mahogany ties cheaper wood
was substituted by the Englishmen in
the subsequent construction Of the road.

The rich, white cloth, tall porcelain
candlesticks and wax candles, the low

were deliberately trimmed with garlands
of white jasmine. Great clusters of bri-
dial roses, white carnations and white
peoples lent beauty and fragrance TO the
dazzling scene.
The CONNECTIONS were colorless French
novelties and almonds frosted with salt.
The courses were served on pure white
porcelain. with monogram wrought in
silver lettering. The glass was unlimited
and the silver FURNISHED to reflect the
palest lights. CLANS and cream of cell
