COMMERCIAL AND
flier was not, very much activity in the
wholesale district yesteroay, and receipts of
produce tvere smaller than they have been for
several days. The wheat market continues dull
and Inactive, and in othef lines of farm prod
uce there was a similar feeling, although price
changes were of no consequence. The egg mar
ket was a little Hineay," but prices remain
unchanged. Butter is quite firm for best grades.
Potatoes are very slow sale at quotations, and
some of the poorest offerings go under r0c
Chickens are still brlngina the best prices ot
the season, but other poultry Is very dull, and
some pretty fair dressed turkeys sold yester
day at 12c, Pork and veal mow slowly, even
at reduced prices.

The wheat market continues to drift, with
buyers and sellers apart in the strictest sense
of the term. Sales are few in number and of
smaH proportions, and the prices paid are
around CSg53o for, both Valley and Walla
"Walla, with a preference shown for the latter.
The arrival of a couple of ships will not have
a. tendency to h-Jp matters jnuch, as cargoea
for both of them have been on the dock for
some time, and Exporters eeern indifferent
about taking up any new ouslness at the pres
ent time. Shipowners are still very firm In
their ideas, and will make no conecsslons on
either old-crop or new-crop shins.

NEW YORK STOCK UlAllKET.
Sugar, Tliird Avenue and Burlington
Were the Features.
KEW YORK. March 10. The principal Inter
est In today's stock market centered in Sugar,
'".alrd Avenue and Burlington. The rest of the
Market gave evidence of some disappointment
jvr the non-effect of the currency and refund
ing law. Prices were sustained for a time by
the strength of the three stocks mentioned and
some others less prominent. Burlington was
inost consistently strong, and gave evidence of
manipulation, said to he by a pool formed to
advance the stock. Its. extreme rise was 2?;.
It had the mow effect on the other grangers,
but served as a tonic on the whole railroad
list. The iron and steel stocks as a group were
Inclined to firmness on the confidence expressed
by trade publications in the maintenance of
prices. Third Avenue was feverish and active
all day. Its strength was attributed by many
to operations against a large outstanding short
Interest, and the stock advanced at one time
above 70. compared with 50 on a drive at the
opening.
The violent fluctuations in the price reflected
the doubtful and conflicting opinions of specu
lators In the stock. It closed with a net gain
of 2. Sugar was not so erratic; and did not
move over so wide a range, but Its extreme rise
of S after an opening decline gave way to re
action in the late dealings, and It closed prac
tically unchanged. There was a decided Inclina
tion to throw over stocks by tired holders in the
Isle transactions and the r.lnsinir wna ,.n
active and weak, the earlier eains, except io a '

few cases, being wiped out. Reading first pre.
ferred" fell 6harply nearly 2 points on the re
ports by trade authorities of softness In the
anthracite market. People's Gas was also con
spicuous in the late break.
The general expectation of a poor bank state
ment was the underlying motive of the selling.
The rate for call loans was rather easier than
yesterday, under the influence of the dividend
disbursements. The prevailing rate was 5 per
cent, and loans "were made at 4 per cent. New
York exchange at Chicago Hardened sharply to
10c discount, compared with 25c yesterday,
and there -was a similar movement at other
points. But the Subtreasury made another large
draft on the cash resources of the banks, bring
ing Its total withdrawals for the week thus far
up to $4,723,000.
As the surplus last Saturday was below
$6,000,000, and the currency movement is gen
erally believed to have been In favor of the
Interior since then, while loans of the banks
have evidently been further expanded. It Is dif
ficult to believe that anything can be saved in
the way of a surplus for the banks this week.
The report of a deficit s bound to have an
unfavorable oentlmental effect on prices. How
ever, soon relief will be forthcoming from In
creased bank circulation or disbursement of
Government bond premiums. London sold
stocks In 'this market, apparently on account
of the condition of the money market there,
which Is called stringent, and which the etate
ment of the Bank of England shows no pros
pects of Improving in the near future.
Business in bonds continued on a large scale,
but prices yielded In mc portions of the list.
Total salts, par value, $1.82O,C00. United
States 2s and new 4s declined per cent, and
old 4s and 5a & per cent In the bid price.

NEW YORK. March 15. The Commercial Ad
vcrtlser London financial cablegram says:
The markets here opened barely steady, no
new business resulting from the occupation of
Bloemfonteln. Dealings fell away on Paris
sales of African mines and Tlntos. There was
lc trading In the war loan, but the premium
remained at 1;J. The market regards 1 s
the minimum premium, .since the Insurance
companies are glad to secure the stock at par.
I understand unofficially that the applicants
number 30.0O0. aggregating 333,000.CO0. It is
reported the government nas given instructions
as to allot fully for 100 lots, others to re
ceive pro rata, but there is a feeling that the
United StaUs and the colciIes should be treated
better than the big speculators.

Chicago Grain and Prodnce.
CHICAGO. March 15. The early trading In
wheat was not marked oy any degree of ac
tivity or any marked tone. The opening for
May was at CC0G6c. a decline of 0sc
from yesterday, the slight loss being due In
part to disappointment ox-er the reluctant re
sponse of the Liverpool market to yesterdays
advance here. The loss was recovered almost
Immediately, May advancing to 6Cc unde.
covering by local shorts, but before 11 o'clock
weakness again developed, and kept prices
on the down grade for riearly'an hour. Dur-'
morrow's opening would show a decline. About :
lng this part of the session the foreign demand
for American wheat was reported poor, while
expectations of heavy Argentine wheat ship
ments tomorrow, a feature which has knocked
good fractions off of the price of wheat for
three succccslve Fridays, resulted In 'consider
able short selling, the theory being- that to
noon, however, the market turned quite strong
on rumors of crop damage, and the price,
which had in the meantime fallen off to C60
06&C, rose to 07c Bui this was the price
that heavy holders had apparently been wait
ing for, and offerings became so heavy that c
was knocked off May figures In a hurry.
At 0C5ic a good demand existed atfd the mar
ket held steady at around that figure for
some time, reports of a good demand for ex
port for outside shipping points having con
siderable influence. Shortly before the close
realizing sales and uneasiness over the weak
ness shown by com caused another decline,
and the tone during the last few minutes was
one of weakness. May eased off to 6Gc, and
closed at 60c
Corn was only moderately active. Early in
the session there were lndlcatlonu that influ
ential holders were disposing of their May
and buying July, and this resulted in consider
able liquidation. Heavy clearances had a
steadying Influence later, sellers turning buy
ers; but toward the cloos the market again
developed a tendency to decline, and the close
was rather easy. May closed c lower, at 374
0O7tsc
Trading in oats was almost without feature,
and was on a small scale all day. May closed
at 23JSC
Provisions wore moderately active, and rather
Irregular, with a scsall .ange. Packers were
fair sellers, but pit traders showed a dispo
sition to cover shorts, whioh, with some commission-house
buying, kept the market fairly
steady moot of the session. May pork closed
5c lower, May lard a shade lower, and May
ribs unchanged.

THE BOER CAPITALS.
Defennes the Roer Unve Reared ai
Bloemfonteln and Pretoria.
New York Sun.
Pretoria Is the objective point which.
General Lord Roberts has In Ylew.
Bloemfonteln Is on his direct route to
the Transvaal- capital, and 1b also an im
portant prize which he hopes to seize
on his Journey. It Temoins to be seen
how effectively the Boers will contest
his efforts to capture these cities.
Bloemfonteln stands all exposed on the
high plain or veldt with no natural bar
rier to the west between It and the ad
vancing: British forces. The surrounding
country is dry and unfertile. Stones
thickly strew the plain outside the town
and clumps of grass and low brushes'
somewhat relieve the monotony of the
almost level plain. In the town are
many trees that partly hide from view
most of the low, white buildings forming
the larger part df the city." The official
residence of the President is a fine build
ing, but It Is only two stories In height,
with room enough above, under Its hip
roof, for an expansive attic No gunner
outside the town can make it his special
target. The capitol. on the contrary, has
an imposing tower and this building,
with two or three schools and other struc
tures similarly adorned, are the only edi
fices that attract attention as-the city Is
approached from tho direction whence
the British forces are coming.
A little stream, at times almost water
less, flows through the city on its way
to the Modder River. The streets are
laid out with much regularity, and the
town covers quite a large area, consid
ering that Its population Is less' than
4000.
Though the town Is naturally wide open
on the side which the British are ap
proaching, it is overlooked on the east
and northeast by a long ridge 200 or 300
feet above tho leyel of the plain. This
ridge Is one to one and a half miles from
the outskirts of tho city, and a little be
yond the northern end of the ridge rises
a kopje, a little lower in altitude. From
these points of vantage the only good
view of the town may be obtained; and on
these elevations were reared tho fortifi
cations which the burghers of the Free
State contsructed long ago. during the
period of their serious differences with
the British Government.
"We have only recently heard that the
Boers have built an elaborate system of
earthworks for the defense of their town,
but very little information on this mat
ter has come to hand. There Is every
reason to suppose that the old fortifica
tions on the ridge and the kopje have
been placed In the most effective condi
tion possible. If the Boers of the Free
State Intend to make a hard struggle to
keep their capital, the guns on the ridge
may be used most advantageously to
keep the British from closely approach
ing the town; but with guns, of equal
range the British may easily throw shells
Into the town and be out of reach of the
cannon on the ridge behind it In brief,
the line of defense around Bloemfonteln
must be mainly a system of earthworks
such as those that kept the Boers out of
Klmberley during a siege of nearly four
months.
The conditions are very different at
Pretoria. Nature and science have made
the capital of the Transvaal a very
strongly fortified towns. Unless the Boers
have had enough war by the time the
British come within view of the hills '
around Pretoria, there is little doubt of
their ability to make a stubborn last
stand at the capital. The hills that hem
in Pretoria on all sides are crowned
with seven forts of much strength, all
built under the expert advice and direc
tion ot European military engineers. Two
of these forts were completed between
1S34 and 1SS6 and five of them have been
built since the Jameson raid. They com
mand every approach to the city. It may
perhaps be unfortunate for the Boers if
the British are acquainted with all the
details of these forts, and It is said that
complete plans of them were In the pos
session of the British "War Office before-
the war began. There was a great deal
of mystery about the work, but accord- I
lng to British authority two English en-
gineerlng officers worked as navvies In
order to get an opportunity thoroughly to
acquaint themselves with the construc
tion and plan of the forts, and Informa
tion was also obtained from other sources.
However this may be. the British have
no doubt that the forts were elaborately
ana strongly constructed. They are all J
alike In their chief external features, j
They were built of masonry, with earth
works on the outer faces, and their ar- I
mament includes much heavy ordnance
and all the 15-centlmeter Creusot and
rapid-fire guns that the Boers desirea '
to place In position. The London Daily I
Halt In some recent appreciative remarks
on these fortifications, said:
The forts are certainly elaborately, fur- j
nlshed with all the requirements of mod- j
srn warfare. Piles of sandbags are
Steamship Co.
stacked up to tho level of the Inclosing
walls. A powerful searchlight Is each
fort Is capable of sweeping the surround
ing:. country for many miles. Telephones
are laid between the forts and the gov
ernment buildings in Pretoria. There. are
large stocks of mealies (maize) ready for
the eventuality of a siege There Is said
to be communication by means of under
ground passages between- the forts and
the ammunition stores and magazines.
Lastly, it Is presumed that the ap
proaches to the forts- are mined In
various directions.
Events will show whether the fort3
were, despoiled of their armaments to
meet the needs of the Boer cause in
their investment of Ladysmith. , Klmber
ley and Mafeking. For all that Is known
to the contrary, every gun that was
mounted around Pretoria Is still In posi
tion, and there Is no reason to doubt that
this beautiful little city among the hills
Is prepared to stand a prolonged siege.

Chicago Times-Herald.
The New York Sun Is not pleased with
Richard Le Gallienne's recent remarks
concerning "Edwin Markham's poetry. Sir.
Le Galllenne says Markham has not
"rythmic life,", and gives it as his opin
ion that want of the latter "Is the most
fundamental disability from which a poet
can suffer." This declaration from Mr. Le
Galllenne leads naturally to the conclusion
that somo poetshave "fundamentaler disa
bilities" than others, and that Markham's
Is the "fundamentalest of them all." Still,
Mr. Le Galllenne accepts Markham as a
real poet, and says eo, for which reason
tho Sun suggests that Markham ohould.
In his turn, gracefully accept -Le Gal
llenne by dashing oft something that might
start away in this wise:
Bowed by th burden of hlo locks he leans
Before the glasa and gazes at-himself.
The emptiness of pages In his face
And on his back the burden of his name.
Let us by all means promote a feeling
of good fellowship among our poets on
both sides of the water. In these days of
bloodshed and carnage it would be almost
too much to have a Le Galllenne and a
Markham poising their pens against each
other. Le Galllenne's hair and Mark
ham's .brother to the or should be joined
In happy union It possible.
