servers who argued that the two days re-
action on the stock market has been due
ITO the apprehension of the effects OF liqui-
dation consequent upon the collapse of the
wheat deal were disappointed today. The
pressure upon the market from that source
was practically removed by the announce

wheat owned by the defeated wheat specu-
lators had been taken over by powerful
financial interests who had been able to
save 1t from being sacrificed at forced sale.
The course of the wheat market very plain
ly indicated the termination of the crisis,
but there was no movement to advance

Sugar was the center of interest and

favorable vote on the Hawaiian annexa-
ton bill was the motive assigned for the
selling. The stock was traded in ex-div-
dend. The embarkation of the army for
Cuba added to the possibilities of a set
back in the campaign, which would also
hurt the stock market if it were to occur.

Preparations for the erection of q one
story building, fronting 100 feet on South

Fifth street. will commence in a few days
A new steam laundry for Pasadena is
among the probabilities of the near fu-
ture. The plant will cost about $4,000.
N. G. Douglas of New York has outlined
a plan to the directors of the chamber Of
commerce of San Diego for the establish
ment of glass factory. The proposed
plant would cost about $4,000. His idea is
to organize'a company with a capital stock
of 81 900 .000 with $25, 600 subscribed, and in
corporate under the laws of New Jersey.
This Is about the forty-fourth proposition
to establish a glass factory in Southern

these schemes may materlalize soon.

Ing boom. The largest building in course
of construction is the Sisters school, The

80 per cent valuation would account for
n,S36,5OO of the alleged raise.
On the other hand no allowance seems to
be made, as ought to be done for the depre-

value OF improvements that have certainly
suffered deterioration since they were built
1t is Il fact that important buildings have

The Oldest PIOw-Maker.

Chicago has the oldest plow-maker
IN the United States. His name is
David Bradley, and he is at the head
OF a big manufacturing company on
the west side. Mr.. Bradley first
worked at the business in Syracuse,
N. Y, in 1882. In 1885 he came to
Chicago, which then numbered about
$500 inhabitants and a camp of several
thousand Indians, to help erect the
first ~iron-foundry established here.
Mr.. Bradley was the first man to bring
pig-iron into Chicago. In connection
with the foundry which he helped build
was a machine-shop, andthe establish
ment oon began along with it's other
business the manufacture of plows.
Mr.. Bradley, by the growth of his
business, was finally forced to build q
little town of his own, which is known
as Bradley, I'll. Mr.. Bradley has
passed his eighty-fifth birthday, but
is still hale and hearty, and thoroughly
enjoys the prosperity which hard work
has brought him. The active business
has been surrendered to the sons
