trained in warfare. They discovered
the method of laagoring thoir wagons,

An English oorrespomisnt who went
through the 1881 campaign wrote at
Mi at time of the fighting qualities of
the Boers:
"We never are able tc see the
enemy. Kxecpt before the fight at
Majubn Hill, 1 never saw but a hand
ful of them at any time. And when
they thought we noticed them thev
and their horses disappeared nn if
swallowed up by the earth. I think
we all feel that, they cnu shoot. Our
losses at Pulley and lining's Nek
showed tlint. We were very much In
the open, but not a blessed Ilonr was
to bfi seen. Hut every once in if while;
there was tho crnek of a rillo, and
then one of our pour buys would go
over, the line would close np and we
would begin nhnsing again for the
enemy wo could never tlnd. I was

Tho Boer much renombles our Amer
ican Apneho in his ability to live on
tho nhndow of things when in tho
field. A writer of Houlh Afrien, in a
contribution to 0. London paper, calls
attention to tho ability of tho Boer to
live on rations which an crdiunry
trooper would not endure and his ca
pacity to travel groat distances with
home in incredibly short time.
The Boer knows every road and
trail of tho Trausvaal; as a hunter he
knows the devious ways of tho wastes
beyond. Ho is nn agriculturist and a
hunt or. By tho law of self-preservation
ho has lcaruod the wily ways of
the savago whom he displaced in tho
Transvaal. Tho soorot recesses of tho
mountains are at his command. As a
horsoman be much resembles onr
American cowboy. He can ride on top
of the saddlo, or over his horse's
ncok, or Cossask fashion, with one
foot in the stirrup, one log on tho sad
dle and his head and shoulders on the
ground. His horse is part of his fam
ily life. The boasts are very hardy,
sure-footed and aiTootiouato. Thou,
too, the Boer is inured to the hard
ships of the mountains, to long horse
back jonrncys, scant allowances of
food, treks ou whioh tho water supply
is scarce.
In the campaign of 1881 against the
English the Boer took good care that
his forces never faced the enemy in

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Orders lor N:xl Year Hold Back by Prevailing
High Prices.
It. ft. Inin A Co.'s weekly review of
trade reports ns follows for last week:
Industrial conditions could hardly be
bettor. After ninny months of such
extraordinary ImylriK that Its continu
ance seemed Impossible, even larger
buying still crowds producing works
In most lines beyond their capacity.
The Iron furnaces are producing; 11,
00') tons weekly more than ever before.
tin.i,i j tons i ii loner 1, and yet (he ac
tual consumption In manufacture r&
dueed unsold stocks In Heptember by
ii,.ivi ions, wnne the demand runs
fur ahead Into next year for many
products. After the great buying last
week benseincr pig rim s to U nt Pitts
burg, with No. 1 anthracite at I'h a-
dolphin and No. 1 local coke at Chi
na kc both 'luoted n J3 Ml and buyers
paying premiums for early delivery,
according to their re eds. The llnlsheil
products still advance, eastern bar to
I.' lr, and tank plates to M 10. and the
average of percentages to prices of
January 1, 1SK7, Is row IH0.B4 for fin- "
Ished products and l'is.0 for pig. In
ome lines, however, production has
Tar gained that works are beginning
to look for orders to cover next year.
1 he boot and shoe shops are getting"
a little better prices for men's kip
boots and woman's grain and buff
hues, nnd shipments for the first half
nf October ere the largest ever re
ported, though orders for next season
are retarded by prices. Leather Is a
shade higher, but buying of sole has
been checked by the recent advance,
as manufacturers appear to have
rather large supplies and the C'hlcagv,
market for hides., though quoted a lit
tle higher, seems uncertain.
The demand for woolen goods Is
fairly large and prices are well sus
tained though not further advanced.
In goods of the better grades tnere Is
some uncertainty. Hales of wool ara
smaller, only 7,473,000 pounds for the
week at the three markets, without
further advance. Hilks are firm and
linens tending upward, with good de
mand. The cotton manufacture meets so
great a demand that prices advance
every week, and supplies for early de
livery are In many lines restricted.
More business Is turned down than Is
done In brown sheetings and drills,
and coarse colored cottons are rising.
Hlg sales have moved a great part of
the surplus print cloths, and prices
have been advanced for grades not
until recently controlled by the selling
committee.
Wheat exports are still larger than
from the great crop of last year, At
lantic, flour Included, having been 7.
bushels In two weeks, against
f.ll6."9 bushels last year, and Paclfta
730,448 bushels against 1.37S.034 bushels
last year. The western receipts have
been only 14.510,892 bushels, against
20,790.423 bushels last year, but the
course of prices Is not calculated to
encourage a big movement, for after
starting at 73.37c and falling ,75c. tha
market closed at 75.00c, with Decern
ber options unchanged. The govern
ment deferred any estimate of yield,
and Its figures ara as usually variously
Interpreted, but not Influential. Corn
receipts 1.1.7SS.749 bushels, against 11.
047, 258 bushels In two weeks of "last
year, with exports of 6.177,14s bushels,
against 4.374.5US bushels last year,
show a supply and a foreign demand
which might well affect the wheat
market to some extent.
Failures for the first week of Octo
bers were 11.(87.068 In amount, manu
facturing I3k7.14 an'i trading 1408,699.
Failures for tha week have been 104)
In the United States, against 206 last
year, and 27 in Canada, ag tlnst 25 last
year.
