THE TRANs-ooNrINENrAL TRAMPs
Cohen and Polk Heard From in
Springfield. Hi.

HI.
Word has been received from Maurice
]. Cohen. of this city, and Frank E.. Polk,
of New York, who started from the
Heights IN June 5 to walk to San Fran
cisco by January Z. On Tuesday last they
We're in Springfield, ILL.,, both in excellent
physical condition. and confident of reach
ing their destination before the appointed
time. They express themselves as much
pleased with the reception which has been
given them in each of the towns through
which they have tramped.
They are walking on a wager, to win
which they must reach their destination
within six months from the date of their
start. If they reach San Francisco by
Christmas Day they also win an addi-
tional side bet. Each man pushes a
wheelbarrow weighing about 12O pounds
and containing his camping outfit. On
level country they claim to make about 125
miles a week, or from II to Is miles of a
daily average. In the cities they stop at
the leading hotels, the proprietors of
which usually give them accommodations
gratis, while they pay their other ex-
penses from the proceeds of the sale of
their pictures, for which there is a large
demand at ten cents each.
Cohen writes that he wishes to challenge
anyone to walk with a wheelbarrow from
100 to 5000 miles. The party accepting the
challenge to have the right. to name the
weight to be carried in the barrow, and
he will concede anything reasonable that
they may ask. He say that during his
present walk he has made our miles in
4S minutes and fifteen miles in 4 hour and
Is minutes. 1t is a common thing for him,
he says. to walk from seven to ten miles
without taking a rest, on any kind of a
road and in any weather. He writes that
his most difficult feat was to walk up a
mountain three miles long while pushing
his wheelbarrow, containing goods weigh
minutes, and at the same time holding a
conversation with a gentleman in a car
rage"

CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO Nov. 29.-Bulls in wheat were
given body blow right at the start by the
enormous worlds shipments. which. in
cluding India amounted to 9.113, 900 bushels
The effect was seen In the opening figures
May starting Nc lower at 919sc, and slowly
declining to 91hc 1t recovered for a short
time to 91asc, but soon turned weak again.
December was even weaker, starting Nc
lower at 971ac. and selling Off without a
stop to 97c. In neither option was there
anything but scattered liquidation, but
there was an almost utter lack of support.
and a decline was inevitable. Liverpool
was Sd. lower to start with, due, it was
said, to the unlocked for increase In Rus
sian shipments, which last week amount
ed to 3,256, 900 bushels. The quantity on
ocean passage was also reported 1,920, 900
bushels heavier than it was a week ago,
and the northwestern receipts were still
too liberal to be other than bearish in their
effect, although Minneapolis and Duluth
reported only 1888 cars, against 1875 the
Monday preceding, but today's reduced
number was still 1908 cars more than on
the corresponding day Of 1896. Only one
feature of the early news affecting wheat
was considered favorable to the bulls. and
that was the big drop in the temperature.
But this was almost entirely overlooked.
Primary market receipts were as encour-
agingly heavy to the bears as at any time
during the season, at 1924, 1872 bushels for
the day, against 51S,S5S bushels a year ago.
Chicago contributed its quota of bearish
statistics. Receipts were 1874 cars, against
only II last year, and regular elevators In
creased 171,000 The visible supply in
creased 968, 900 bushels last week. compared
with a decrease the similar week a year
ago of 1.O71 900 bushels. The total visible
supply ia now ss,656,oOo bushels, against
5ss14,o0o bushels year ago. Figures on
the export movement arrested the slime
for a time.
Atlantic seaboard clearances since Sat-
urday amounted to 100000 bushels. Paris
advices to st. Louis were to the effect that
France would require about u, 900 BUSH
els of foreign wheat between November
/ of this year and September !, 1898. The
English visible supply was estimated to
have decreased 140OO bushels, notwith-
standing the deliveries from English farm
ers last week were much heavier than
usual. After the posting of the closing
Liverpool quotations. which showed 1N%
1isd. decline long wheat began dribbling
out again. May gradually sold down from
