Pretoria. June 5-The occupation oi
the town passed of most satisfactorily.
The British flag is now hoisted on tor
Of the government offices. The troops
met more of an enthusiastic recep
ton than | anticipated"
London, June 6-Until the situation
in the neighborhood of Pretoria is en-
lightened, officials here, as well as
others will find difficulty in prognosti
eating Lord Roberts immediate pro
gram. 1t appears evident that the
Boer commander-in-chief, General
Botha, with all his guns, withdrew in
good order, probably along the Della
goa Bay railroad, with a view of join
ing President Kruger, so the Trans
vaal forces remain practically intact
with Presidents Kruger, Steyn, Gen
eral Botha and Secretary of Slate
Reitz, are safe and in position to con
tinMe the direction of affairs. The
more optimistic. see in the fact that
KFuger's and Botha's wives were left
in Pretoria an indication that the
president does not count on long re
sistanoe@ IN any case it will probably
take Roberts week to organize a
campaign ot pursuit.
A special dispatch from Lorenzo
Marques dated June 9TH, says; General
Butler and Christian BOtha met at

three days armistlce was agreed up

BUILDING MATERIAL.
The Advance in Price Caused
Many People to Abandon
Building This Year.

The effect of the high prices in build
ing material Is seen in this city in the
thwarted plans of many who, last fall
and winter, contemplated building
dwellings this spring. Some even went
so far as to make excavations and get
foundation material. but the steady
advance in prices of everything that en-
ters into the construction of a house
made the estimated cost SO far overeach
what they had planned to put in the
structures, that the building project has
been abandoned. This to great extent
accounts for the falling off in trade in
iron products and may also explain the
loss Of traffic to railroads, for when the
mass of people stop consuming the
products Of the trusts and combines, nc
matter how high their prices may be-
the profits of these manufacturers are
sure to drop off, and the only thing that
can be done is to lower prices to a point
that will allow the consumption to be
resumed. This is true mot only of Can
ton, but is universal all over the coun-
try, and may be the cause of the repor-
ted contemplated drop in the price OF
iron products.
