TRANSPORTATION EXHIBITS.

Norfolk, Va. The word "transporta
ton has in late years gained such a
wide significance that under this caption
volumes might be written. Until re-
Gently il referred principally TO rail
road and steamboat service, but now il
reaches from the upper depths of aeri-
al navigation TO the bottom of the sea
where the submarine boats disport
with the deniZens of the deep; from the
flying locomotive to the trolley car, the
automobile or the autOcycle. Or, from
the handsomest equippage in carriage
or trap to the broad.tread or OK cart of
the burden-be tring type.
There was time when the question
of rapid transportation was only dis
cussed In the great centers of civiliZa-
ton CT between those centers, but now
il is question of deep interest to ev-
erybody, and as the canal and the Nat
ional pike have given way to the mod
ern steamer, the railway and the auto
mobile, so even the more recent means
and modes of transportation will give
place to the latest motive power that
really constitutes the master-wheel in
the mechanism of moving passengers
and freight
The incalcuable value of an exhibit
at the jamestown Exposition is becom-
ing more manifest every day as the call
for space continues to increase, and
more particularly is this true in the
motive power department of transport

of properly displaying that for which
the people are clamoring and which

That the hundreds and thousands of

modes of the present, is evidenced by

other adjuncts will have complete ex-
hibits at the Exposition, showing the
old time means of transportation and
of applied motive power, side by side
with the most modern vehicles and

SEVENTH DISTRICT DELEGATES.

The state convention TO nominate
candidates for justice of the supreme
court and regents of the university
has been called for February II at
Grand Rapids. Owing to the very
light vote east last fall the representa-
ton of about every county in the state
to this convention will be materially
cut down.
The basis of representation in Re
publican state, congressional, and SEN
atorial conventions is one delegate for
each 300 of the total vote east for the
Republican candidate for the governor
at the last election, and an additional
delegate for fraction of 800 exceeding
$50
So the representation in the seventh
district will be as follows:
Huron county, casting 2,6l0
votes for Warner .
Lapeer county, casting $500
votes for Warner .
Macomb county, casting 1894
votes for Warner IL
st. Clair county, casting 1851
votes for Warner IS
Sanilac county, casting 2,226
votes for Warner
Here is a convention of IS delegates
counting two from Wayne, requiring
30 to nominate.
Macomb county is the only county
In the district that holds up her repre-
sentation to where it was in the last
campaign. st. Clair and Sanilac are
particularly heavy losers.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, March 1.-THE unsettled con-
dition of the stock market brought out
selling orders from all directions when
trading began in the wheat pit, and for
a time offerings were extremely liberal.
With little apparent effort being made to
support the market prices declined rap
idly. Owing TO the Developments In
the financial world. crop reports and other
news which ordinarily would have had
considerable influence. were seemingly
ignored. Toward the middle of the ses-
sion the selling became less urgent but
the market showed no recuperative power,
sentiment in the pit continuing extremely
bearish up 10 the close. Primary receipts
today were more than double those of the
corresponding day a year ago and this
heavy movement was an additional check
TO any advance in prices. An estimate on
the shipments Of wheat from Argentina
this week. which made the total exports
to be somewhat larger than those of last
week. was a further aid to the bears. The
market closed weak May wheat opened
isc lower to &c higher at 7fssd77Ss. sold
off 70 1913 and closed at F6ssAlT. a net loss
of ssdlzc. rs.
The Sensational declines in the stock
market We're the dominating influence in
the corn market. Throughout the entire
day there was free selling by local and
outside longs. and also lively selling by
pit traders for short accounts. The
principal support came from shorts. The
market closed weak sake net lower
May corn opened unchanged to &c lower
at 461zd467s TO 46ssd46s4, declined to 46is
and closed at 4614.
Oats rallied late in the day and closed
at moderate advance. Early in the ses-
sion, however, the tone was decidedly
weak because Of liberal pTOfit-taking
sales. A leading elevator concern was an
active bidder for oats the last hour and
this brought about the rally May oats
opened unchanged to ise higher at 405s 10
4Gst sold off to 597s and closed 1sI3sc net
higher at 1914 fI403s.
Provisions. after exhibiting slight weak
ness early in the day. became quite firm
on buying by shorts and several leading
packers Local longs were inclined to sell
at the start because of the weakness Of
grain. At the close May pork was up Tie
Lard was ND 211c. Ribs were sc higher.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Omaha, Neb., May 15.-The weather
bureau reports killing frost over CEN
