JAMESTOWN, Cape Colony, March Is
There was much enthusiasm at AliWal
North when Gen. Brabants troops occu-
pied that place. Commandant Oliver the
Boer commander, apologized for the
action Of the Beers during the last days
of the occupation, saying he could not
control his men. The British are now
tntrenehed on the Free State side of the
Orange river, with the Beers holding an
advantageous hill in front of them. Gen
Rrabant is greatly hampered owing to
the lack of artillery, having only two
n-pounders.
SCENES IN BLOEMFONTEIN.
BLOEMFONTEIN, Tuesday. March H.
AS Lord Roberts was being conducted
to the town today by the deputation CT
officials which had gone out to meet him,
he was greeted by great crowds of peo-
pie, cheering and waving handkerchiefs
and displaying the utmost enthusiasm
and cordiality. English songs were sung,
the union jack, with a four-leaved sham
rock embroidered in the corner by Lady
Roberts, was raised over the presidency,
and the cheering was tremendous Lord
Roberts has appointed Gen. Prettyman
governor and has released four prisoners
who had refused to fight against the
British. Then that portion of the troops
necessary to man the northern heights
began to march through the town, amid
the cheers of the people. When the
horse batteries passed, the contrast be-
tween the well-fed citizens and the ex-
hausted and worn-out gunners who sat
on their horses and caissons without a
sign of emotion was most striking.
BY this time, the plain outside the
town was gradually filling with infantry
regiments and immense transport con-
voys which seemed to overrun the ground
like water Gradually out of the chaos,
order emerged, each brigade and trans.
port establishing itself in It's proper po,
sition in long straight lines, miles III
extent. From the higher kopje near the
town, far beyond could be seen a long
yellow serpent representing regiment
after regiment of khakf-clad troops,
marching on the town.
Gen. Joubert was expected here early
In the morning, but the blowing up or
the line north of the town prevented his
coming. He remained at Brandfort with
1000 Natalers.

total liabilities are sl2.69S,561; nominal
assets, s24,1SO.o65; actual assets, $l2,-
4s9,921. OF the assets 81 66S, 065 were in
the hands OF creditors at the time of the
assignment as security for loans. and the
only interest of the assignors In these
assets are the equities of the value of the
assets over the loans.
1t Is impossible to tell until the loans
have been finally adjusted what these
equities will be. The amount of cash on
hand at the time of the assignment was
s14S COS, but three banks claimed the right
to Offset the sum of SS2,471 against the
loans made by them.
The figures given by the assignee would
indicate that the creditors will receive
about 9S Ia cents on the dollar. The
partners, of course, including George
Croker, who was a special partner TO the
extent of 100000, will lose all the money
they had in the business.

dict a temporary advance in prices. Lon
don bought moderately, and the street was
disposed to consider the buying as being
for the accounts OF prominen; local opera
tors now abroad on their vacations. Early
views were all misleading, however, the
market developing weakness around inc
noon hour and shading off under fgixed
selling, in which liquidation was unnis-
taxable. The Pacific issues were sold in
considerable volume and made new low
records on the present movement. Traders
were encouraged by the lack OF rain in
the Northwest, and the strength Of the
wheat market These factors would have
had less weight, however, had there not
been new weakness in another part of the
market. decline Of z per cent in Brook
lyn Rapid Transit and the weakness OF
Peoples Gas under pressure did more to
delay the rally than any radical defeat in
the main situation. The weakness in
these properties was attributed TO pend
ing legal matters which were expected to
60 against them. The double fare project
for the former is in doubt, and this. 1t
is argued, threatens earnings TO the point
of invisible dividends. The effect OF the
decline was the more significant since
both properties are popularity supposed to
be under the special protection OF single
brokerage firm. The theory that the de-
cline would prevent the firm assisting in
n rally elsewhere helped to postpone any
general covering of short sales. The out
standing short account is large and needs
only aggressive leadership to be forced
into q hasty covering movement. There
are no indications that this leadership Is
at hand.
