ances the week previous. There were no
special features during the week. and the
increase was mainly due to settlements
incident to the first OF the month. There
is no3 scarcity OF money in the banks.
and. as has been heretofore stated, there
is quite an inquiry for desirable loans ON
good inside real estate, which leads to
concessions i'm many instances. Consid-
cradle money has been placed in this city
for investment during the past two or
three months, and more Is coming every
day. Most OF the larger real estate brokers'
have considerable sums on hand, and are
on the lookout to place 1T 10 the best adj
vantage, which makes the financial situa-
tion easier all along the line.
The orange situation shows very slight
improvements at the close over the be-
ginning of the week. The suspension OF
quotations on seedlings by the irult eN-
change has had good effect, but TINS
action was taken too late for the full
benolit TO be yet apparent. There YVES a
slightly increased inquiry for seedlings, but

nothing Of the output Of Valencia, which
so far appears to have been overlooked.
California growers are, however, waking
up to the real condition of affairs and no
time viii be lost in getting the seeding
crop on the eastern market at the earliest
opportunity. The California fruit is bet
ter than the foreign, and, although the
latter has the advantage OF lower freight
rates, etc, it is believed that the re-
msinder OF the crop can be marketed with
a Slight margin on the side oi the grower.

Los ANGELES, April b.
De Van & Rutledge, grain and stock
brokers', furnish the following market
bulletins for the benefit of local specu-
lators:
Wheat opened unchanged at $500 for
the May option, but soon became weak on
heavy liquidation and rains throughout
the wheat belt and declined nc; the close
was at loss OF Lice from yesterdays
close. Wheat probably owes its strength,
Notwithstanding bear news today. to
Bradstreet's statement and other stats-
tca Information which is inclined to be
bulish. Bradstreet makes the exports OF
wheat and flour for both coasts this week
amount to ?, 853 800 bushels, nearly 300, 600
bushels more than last week and 10000
bushels more than the corresponding week
last year Another noticeable fact is that
the stocks haye decreased within the past
three months over 1000, 900 bushels
twice as much ds the corresponding time
in 1894 and five times as much as in 1893.
These ara certainly the most encouraging
factors toward better prices for wheat that
we have had III many months, and If this
keeps up our large visible supply, which
the bears are continually referring to,
viii soon fade away, and then we will see
wheat selling in the 70s.

The Days Transactions on the Chicago Board

CHICAGO, April In wheat the start
was rather tame and the feeling appeared
to favor some slight decline from yester-
days closing values There were sales
at from from 559s to 55A for May at the
start, not much OF it at the higher figure.
however. 1t kept within range of N@
Il during the greater portion of the
session, with an occasional bull put. The
rain, actual and expected, was the ruling
bear factor, the rapidly diminishing
stock OF the world and the decreasing
movement from first hands in the coun-
try were the sustaining influences. The
clearances of wheat and flour from the
four pricipal Atlantic ports in the last
twenty-four hours were 179. 900 bushels.
Foreign cables were not much changed,
but somewhat irregular. The market
closed at 55Ac for May.
Corn was easy in sympathy with wheat.
Today's receipts were only 155 cars and
for Monday only 175 are looked for The
total receipts at all the markets fer the
week were only sos, 900 bushels. Receiy-
ers were the sellers in the market The
range for May was from 4634 to 46%, with
1870 as the closing price.
The oats market was fairly active. The
principal feature was the comparative
strength of july, influenced by free buy
ing. The trading consisted of dsposing of
May and buying June. June at one time
during the session was at premium over
May. The buying was general and
mostly scattered. May sold from 25s to
29M, down to 293s, and closed at 253s.
fluctuated from 2S15 to 2S9s, closing
at the higher price.
Hog receipts were only 1000 today, but
the prices quoted at the yards were at a
decline of to 10c. The estimated re-
ceipts of hogs for the next week are "a, 900
head. Notwithstanding the seeming grow
ing scarcity of the raw material. the price
OF provisions declined ON rather liberal
professional trading. Compared with
prices of the day before pork is 121$c
lower; ribs unchanged and lard nc
lower.

ITALIANS MASSACRED.
A Serious Defeat for the Arms of King
Humbert in Africa.

Another tragic chapter is added to the
bloody history Of European colonization
in Africa by the defeat and almost an
inhalation of five companies of Italian
troops, under Maj. Tosselli. by a large
force of Abyssinians. The Italian troops
were surrounded by $4,000 Of the enemy
and fourteen officers and 700 Of the rank
and file persisted, leaving the fate of Maj.
Tosselli and 300 more unknown. A force
has been sent by Gen. Baratieri, COM
handing the Italian forces in Abyssinia,
to the relief of Maj. Tosselli, but the
prospects are that the Major and the
remnant of his troops will have been ex-
terminated before the arrival of the re-
Inducements. The soldiers who fell with
the exception of the officers belonged to
the colonial army.
The disaster is the result of the efforts
of Italy to establish protectorate over
Abyssinia. Those efforts date back to
1880, when Italy, in accordance with the
provisions of the Berlin conference, no.
tilted the powers of Europe of treaty
concluded with the King Of Abyssinia.
by which the latter country and all heJ
dependencies were placed under Italian
protection. Since then there have been
rebellions and considerable fighting, with
the Italians generally coming out the
victors. The defeat just sustained is tho
only serious one in the entire campaigns.

worse than that which now exists. If
Turkey were effaced as a geographical
entity the powers would have more trou-
BILE in agreeing as to the division of the
land among the conquerors than they
have had oversany problem of European
politics. YAN
Turkey must stand intact under some
form of government, if the outward ac-
cord of the powers is to be maintained.
The jealousies of England and Russia
in Asia have been forcibly illustrated dur
ing the last twelvemonth in the Japan
China war and in the Corean imbroglio.
But the matters at stake there are mere
bagatelle compared with those at the Bos-
phorous. 1t has been the steady policy
of Russia for hundred years to lose no
move on the European chessboard that
brings her nearer to Constantinople and
the control Of the Marmora Sea- and it is
the determination of Europe that Russia
shall not occupy Constan;:nopie.
This is the Eastern question:: What to
do with Constantinople? The powers
would take all the risks of holy war if
they could be sure that the overthrow Of

receive seventy-five lashes on his bare
back. At the close Of this ceremony
the commandante cried: "Give him
twenty-five more, just for luck" Ma

country jordered Guatemala to punish
the official and to pay the victim five
hundred dollars for every lash. Thus
Magee received fifty thousand dollars
in lump, which made him richer In
coin than most men In Guatemala. Nat
urally, President Barrios went into
partnership with him, and the ento-
mologist became a big coffee planter
and dock builder for the ports. Nearly
every one who lands in Guatemala now
has to pay tribute to him, and he also
owns rich mines and timber tracts.

They have been remodeled again and
