Et was ~ onelns A1nce NOW miles
INLAND.
when ancient Rome numbered d
million inhabitants the task Of pro-
y,sioning II was no small one, 50 the
oort OF Ostia, now twenty-ons miles
by rail from Rome, was the most ini-
portant in the empire. It was settled
IN the second century after the foun-
dalton OF Rome, and rapidly became
an important commercial center At
present the TiBer washes down $780,
COO tons OF sand q year, and this grad
uai extension OF the delta has left
ostia miles inland. At OstIa the ware
houses covered one.half the town,
which was two miles long by one wide.
The city contained fine temples, villas
and theaters and the ruins were so
extensive that for nve centuries the
villagers burned marble for lime with
out exhausting the supply, and when
Casino de Medici visited Ostia he
found the villagers engaged in burning
whole ancient marble temple to get
lime. The peasants have destroyed
many valuable old buildings and
statues in this way, according to the
Scientific American. At present there
are ruins Of some of the old ware
houses with their floors raised three
feet above the pavements, and OF pri-
vate houses. The manner in which
these ruins have withstood the CEN
turtles speaks well for the masonry
work. The bricks are about one foot
eleven inches square, the stone care
fully cut and fitted, and the. effect is
neat and rather beautiful, though stuc-
co covered most OF It. Egypt alone
shipped 190.000,0O0 bushels OF grain to-
Rome and Sicily, Sardinia and other
places poured in their enormous sup
plies OF foodstuffs. In addition to this
may be reckoned the vast quantities,
Of building materials. especially mar
BILE, which were imported. The Ciaud-
ian harbor was used as great naval
station. and here was also the central
postofice for foreign correspondence.

Were she an English mother she

China is OF another disposition. At a

the very idea of such a thing ever

but oats were td4c lower. Provisions
closed Irregular, the May products be-
ing from 2,.c lower 10 I09i2l-c higher.
Wheat ruled dull during the greater
part OF the session and weakness pre-
vailed until near the close, when fair
buying by commission houses and local
traders caused an upturn and the close
was frm. The opening was easier on
indifferent cables, May being down a

preston and the market declined. there
being no supporting features, and MAJ
sold OF to ULcc. The impression got
abroad that the leader OF the bulls was

point and this gave some strength 10 the
situation. which was helped later by the
strength in corn and by fair export
demand. After selling 10 1s@sc. May closed

higher prices prevailed throughout the
day in spite of heavy selling by COM
mission houses and short selling by scalp
ers. The market was Influenced TO some
extent by small receipts. while good
cash demand was responsible for some OF
the firmness. The close was firm. with
May lslrl4c higher. at 45ssc. after selling
between i5c and 45Asc. Local receipts
were $50 cars.
4 he increase in the contract stocks of
oats renewed liquidation in that pit and
the market ruled rather easy, although
a slight recovery was made late in the
day on the strength in wheat and corn.
Commission houses were the best sellers,
while the buying was scattered. The vol
une of business was small and no special
features were manifested. The close was
easy. with May H4s4c lower. at 364G

Provisions were decidedly strong at the
start, keeping pace with the upward
movement in hog values The better
