The Days Transactions on the Board of
Trade
CHICAGO, March 4.-In wheat another
dull day was reported, the market at times
ruling exceedingly slow. the range for the
session being confined within 2sc range.
The market, although opening where it
left Off yesterday, manifested some weak
ness early, due largely to the lower cables,
both English and continental, and the de-
liveries in the northwest, which were fairly
generous, being about the same as a week
ago, but 157 cars larger than those of a
year ago. There was very little improve
ment in the speculative business, outside
trade being almost at standstill and
with foreigners doing practically nothing
at the seaboard, holders found little ell
couragement and liquidation and short
selling resulted. Trading in corn was ex-
tremeiy quiet and fluctuations narrow.
Provisions were distinct disappointment.
Pork closed lOc lower, lard 7 1zc and ribs

LOCAL FIELD Of COMMERCE
Trade Is Dull Except for Farm=
ing Tools
THE ORANGE MARKET GOOD
The Demand Increasing aud Prices
Steadily Advancing
THE ORANGE MARKET GOOD
The Outlook for Oil Continues to Improve
and Ample Rains Guarantee
Good Season

Il. W. Burnham, manager for r. G. Dun
g. Co., furnishes the following review of
local trade conditions:
Trade still continues quiet. The only
line reporting any increased activity is
that of agricultural implements. The
coming of the long retarded rainfall Will
doubtless stimulate business in all chan
gels and improve collections.
Tbe tone of the orange market is good
demand increasing, prices advancing.
Dried fruit continues dull, prunes only
showing any strength of value.
The local oil industry continues steadily
on the up grade. :,
The CITY iobbers' ranks are to be swelled
by the immediate establishment OF
branches of two large concerns, prominent
in business circles of the north.
There have been three commercial fall
ures during the past week, liabilities $l5,-
900 and assets $4,000.

er owner of the entire city of Johan
nesburs now lies confirmed invalid
In the worlShouse infirmary of the
quaint old market town of Guildford
in Surrey. The old man seems to
have had remarkable career. Re
was i'll the service Of the East India
Company, fought Ill the Crimea, was
seriously wounded at Scbastopol, and
afterwards passed through the Indian
mutiny. He then went to South AT.
RIGA. where he fought against the Zu
lus and the Beers before the Trans.
vaal WAS made over to them. He
bought for Sl.750, his accumulated
savings, over $4,000 acres of land near
the source of the Limpopo, where he
made up his mind to ultimately settle
But war broke out, he took up arms
against the Beers and formed one OF
the party who held Pretoria against
them. In 1880, when the republic
was declared. he refused to accent
service under President Kruger and
the consequence was that his land
upon portion of which the Trans.
wall city Johannesburg now stands,
was forfeited. Thus the old man who
lies dying without n penny in the
world just escaped being rich beyond
the dreams of avarice.

Hurricane speed.

1t is generally conceded that sixty
miles all hour is the practical limit Of
speed on Steam railways, as at pres
ent constructed. 1t is rather start
ling, therefore, to be told that a com.
pany has been formed and that cap
ltal has been obtained for the pur-
pose of erecting a railway which will
bear trains ut double this speed. A
hundred and twenty miles an hour is
a speed that, if maintained, would
carry one around the world in trifle
over eight days. 1t is faster than the
hurricane, the carrier pigeon, or any
thing else that moves upon this mum
dane sphere. Yet the National Rapid
Transit Company is asking the Unit
ed States Senate for privileges look
ing to the establishment Of line be-
tween New York and Washington,
and specifying i'll the proposed bill
that the schedule time shall not be
less than one hundred miles an hour.
which necessitates a speed of hun
dred and twenty miles per hour TO
cover loss from stops. Further, the
General Electric Company, of New
York, is willing to guarantee motors,
generators and other electrical
me chanism for such road, warrant
ing them to maintain one hundred
