QUICK CONSTRUCTION work.
seven and a Halt ,4aies of Track Laid In
Five Hours.

Readville, Mass, Oct. 29.-What is
claimed by railroad contractors as a
remarkable piece of construction work
was accomplished here to-day by the
laying of seven and one-half miles of
the company's standard 100-pound rails
in the incredibly short time of prac-
tically five hours or about one and two
fifths miles per hour The work was
SO timed that it did not delay the regu-
lar traffic over the New York, New
Haven and Hartford road at this point,
which is quite heavy.

ANXIETY IN LONDON.
n Hinges on General White
II Cause of Delay of Boer Attack.

London, Oct 30.--The position at La
lysmith, without being alarming, is
sssuff1ciently dangerous to excite anxiety
Evidently the Beers are trying to repeat
their Dundee tactics Roughly estimat-
ed, they have 1900 men, as against 49,
M0oo British. General Sir George Stew
art White has the better artillery, but
This is of lesser range. The delay in the
#3Boer attack Is reported to be due to the
A#non-arrival of Commandant General
Joubert's column. This has given the
#$British a much needed respite after
#Stheir recent exertions. Everything, it
%Sis now considered hinges upon General
White's resource and judgment. Moth
ling is known regarding the progress of
defensive works for the protection of
q MLadysmith.
The censorship is more active than
lever, and, according to the Daily Chron-
tce's correspondent '.the new restric-
NStions limit the number Of words allow

Farmers in the neighborhood of La

Again it is reported that President
sKruger accompanied General Joubert to
3the front in a splendidly fitted travelling
@wagon. The Standards correspondent
Eat Ladysmith, telegraphing Sunday,
sends a statement that the Beers have
acaptured 1900 mules, loss that must
seriously inconvenience the British
transport. The attempt Of the Beers to

i The wife of General Jan Kook has ar
8srived at Ladysmith under flag of truce
TO nurse her wounded husband. All the
Wounded Boer prisoners have been sent
7to Durham to prevent any attempt at

Boer massacre at Dundee appears to be
that a portion of the town guard, al

New York, Aug. 3.-To-day's stock
market was professional almost entirely
and was dull except in one or two spots
symptoms of strength were confined to
a few of the specialties, notably To-

ton of the days total transactions. The
movement in this stock was attributed
TO manipulation directed against the
shorts, whose efforts to cover helped the
advance. sympathetic strength was
shown by the Continental Tobacco

remarkable show of strength and closed
at the highest price at a net gain of 9
IL points. Otherwise the iron and steeh

street had rumor that there had been
a slump to-day in pig iron prices, but
this could not be verified. There have
been recent purchases of steel abroad.
but these We're simply the result of the
great scarcity and large demand in this
country. Dispatches reporting threat
ened plague of grasshoppers in western
states were used with effect to depress
the grangers. The trunk lines also were
heavy.
The recent buying by London in this
market came to a stop owing to the de-
cision of the London exchange to close
from Friday until Tuesday over the
bank holiday on Monday
The bears made a successful attack
on Brooklyn Transit, Peoples Gas and
Rock Island early in the day, thus in
creasing the tendency to reaction The
market had its periods of strength sus-
tanned by the movement in Tobacco,
the firmness in Sugar, strength in Rub
Der and General Electric and a few of
the railroad stocks. But strength was
not maintained and the isolated railroad
stocks, which showed small net gains,
were so nearly inactive as to have little
effect on the general list. The under
tone of the market was heavy till the
close, notwithstanding sudden break

ton by the Bank of England of it's ex-
