A New York Central Innovation.

George H. Daniels of the New York
Central & Hudson River railroad, has
made an announcement which is of a
rather startling nature, but it is one
which ought to please the patrons of
that great system, and particularly
those who travel on mileage books. The
circular reads as follows:
Mileage books, good for 500 miles and
1000 miles travel, are now on sale at
all stations on the New York Central
divisions and branches) at the rate of
$40 and $40 respectively.
These tickets are good until used and
are available for passage on the main
line of the New York Central, and of
all its branches and divisions, inclUd-
ing the Harlem, Putnam, Rome, Water
town &S OgdenSburg, Carthage & Adj
rondack, Geneva & Lyons and the Adj
rondack Utica to MontreaD divisions.
Mileage books will be issued in the
name of the head of family or firm,
and will be available for the use of
any member of such family or for any
traveller for a. firm, provided the name
of such member or traveller is written
in the book by the agent selling it, in
the place designated. They viii be
honored for transportation by the con-
ductors of all trains. including limited
trains, but only to the end of the run
of each conductor.
IL the nOlder OIL SUcn TICKET desires 10
ride beyond the run of q conductor. or
on a night train, or to a point on a
branch line, he should present his mile
age ticket to the ticket agent, VINO Wal
detach the proper mileage and issue a
mileage exchange ticket, on which bag
gage will be checked to any station on
the New York Central or any of it's
branch lines, thus avoiding the neces-
sity of being disturbed after retiring,
or of rechecking baggage.-From the
Pittsburg Post, August u, 1898.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Heavy Export Demand Caused a
FURRY In Wheat.

Furry In Wheat.
Chicago. Oct 14-AIuch to the surprise
of the leading portion of the grain trade,
the Liverpool market opened at decline
over night of 12d and closed at a loss or
1$s611kd from yesterdays final figures
The result was decidedly weak opening
here. December started with plenty or
SELLERS at CHOOSES, compared with yester-
days closing price of GAS. This was prac-
tically at put" price and a good deal
Of buying was done by holders OF those
privileges.
Outside of the demand from this source,
however. there was little support given
the market and still further decline oc-
CURED, December finally getting down to
Ga cents. After noon the market became
quite active and strong. Reports from the
seaboard showed very heavy export en-
gagementS, the figures ranging all the
way from 20 to $50 boatloadS. This indica-
ton that the foreigners were taking ad-
vantage of the decline to satisfy their
wants started shorts on the run, Decem-
Der going to 65G65 , at the close, a gain OF
lzc for the day.
There was fairly active trade in corn.
The market early was weak in sympathy
wheat turned strong corn responded. The
close is / 6ISsc higher for December.
Oats were quiet all day. The opening
was weak and prices ruled lower until
late in the day when ii rallied with wheat
and corn, closing unchanged from yester-
day.
A good business was done in provisions.
The market started easy with grain.
There was q little too free selling during
the early weakness and when the rally
was so heavy that prices advanced very
rapidly. The close is 7lad1212 cents high
err than yesterday.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

London Press Comment.

LONDON, July 20.-Owing to the
severity Of the censorship at Madrid,
the London morning newspapers are
quite without Madrid dispatches, ex-
cept brief messages sent by way Of
France. The Madrid papers them
selves are without dispatches from
Paris, London or Havana. Even the
Spanish provincial papers get nothing
from the cabinet.
The Washington correspondent Of
the Daily Telegraph asserts tina
President Mckinley yesterday de-
clared that he expected no peace pro-
posals from Spain until Havana had
been taken.
The morning paperi comment upon
the pecvliar and interesting situation
developed by the antagOnism between
the Americans ang Cubans at San
tlago.
The Daily Chronicle expresses the
hope that Commodore Schley has
been falsely represented as talking
about change in European frontiers.
1t adds:
"If the United States really intends
to comit the incalculable error Of
sending fleet to Spain, the less 1t
says about changes of frontier the
better for us ALL"

ORDERED TO PORTO RICO.
The American Navy Will Cover Land
ing Of Troops.

ing Of Troops.
WASHINGTON, July 20. - Admiral
Sampson has received final orders from
the navy department as to the part
the American feet is TO take 10 the
campaign against Porto Rico. They
are based on the belief that the
campaign is essentially an army one,
the duties Of the navy being to lend
every support and assistance to the
land operations. The Admiral is
instructed to aid the army movements
by dlspatchlng conveys when required
and by covering the landing Of troops.
sthere is no Spanish feet In San
Juan harbor or other Porto Rlcan
ports, the navy has limited field OF
operation. The reduction of the har-
Dor Notifications will be the main
work, but this and all other operations
OF the feet will be supplementary TO
the main operations conducted by the
army. The strategists, military and
naval, are agreed in the view that the
taking of Porto Rico is primarily a
military undertaking, and Admiral
Simpsons orders are on these lines.
The navy department is rapidly
moving the large feet Of auxiliary
craft, made up Of merchant ships,
large ocean>going yachts, tUgs, etc,
from Atlantic coast points to Cuban
waters, where they will be placed in
blockade duty, thus releasing the
larger ships for more active duty at
Porto Rico and the coast Of Spain.
Three OF these smaller crafts were
sent south, and most of them will be
on the way within in a week, stopping
only long enough at Norfolk 20
have their batteries strengthened.
When the war broke out large
number of these auxiliary craft we're
purchased. They have been distrlb-
uted along the coast from Maine to
Florida, at some 40 or morel ports,
making an effective coast patrol.
There is felt to be no further use for
this patrol, so with the exception Of
few important points, the auxiliary
craft will be withdrawn for service on
the Cuban blockade.
