BOER POSITION NEAR OSFONTEIr
A Front Extending About Eight Miles
 Regarded as Weak.

A Front Extending About Eight Miles,
 Regarded as Weak.
 Osfortein, Saturday, March. 3.-The Boer position has now been fairly To- cated as about four miles to the Brit ish front, and extending about eight miles. The Boer right consists of high, long mountain on the north side of the river, which General French shelled this morning.
 Apparently the space between the mountain and the river has been in- trenched. South of the river the Boer lines cover more ground. A few days ago their left rested on the high kopjes standing in the middle of the plain. They have now been extended two miles further south, while six small kopjes stand in the plain between the center and the left and between the center and the river, and form a ridge behind which the Boers move unseen. The weakness of the whole position, however. is that it can easily be turn ed in either direction. The country is flat and water abounds, the recent rains having nearly filled all the dams, BOER RETREAT FROM LADY,

The British passed a large body of Boers in the vicinity of Pepworth. The Boers opened heavy rifle fire, the British field guns replying. The British did not press the attack, and the Boer fire

street, Portland, Me-:
New York, January 11.-During the
greater part Of the day the market was
more or less dominatsd BY weakness In
sugar. It opened at . sharp decline from
last nights price. and although ut times
It had moderately sharper rallies, 1t con-
tlnued 10 be undsr considerable pleasure
finally losing about six points. There was
no further news on It. and the street
seems to DO oonvincsd that the dividend
will be reduced next March. 1t should,
however, be remembered that the street
was equally sure IL would be reduced
some two years ago when Havemeyer
gave utterance to sentiments very similar
to tboss he made yesterday. At that time
the stock declined to 100. Il has subse
qusntly sold at $50. The fact Of the mat
ter is that Mr.. Havemsyer's utterances
are extremely guarded and nothing def
mite ran be gathered from them as long al
the company refuses to publish any state

the company will make any change In Its
policy of making any statement to stock
holders.
London was . moderate buyer ut the
opening; sentiment 10 London having
improved as n result Of the reduction OF
the Bank of Epgland's rate. The position
Of the bank shows an improvement ai
compared with that Of last week. the pro
portion of reserve to liability being 81. A
per cent against 3s.6s per cent and is now
not much lower than 1t was for the same
period OF last year.
During the afternoon the bears gave n
reason for the selling rumors fresh fight
ing In South Africa but there was no Au
thentio news to oorroborate the rumors
which seem to have emanated principally
from military clubs In London.
| The closs was slightly higher than the
lowest OF the day but there was lack Ct
snap In the market and the majority Of
transactions were between traders.
