DETROIT MARKET.
DETROIT. Aug. 30.

DETROIT, Aug. 30.
Wheat has, with the exception of to-day and
Monday, had an upward tendency all the week.
The transactions are very large sometimes
reaching 100 cars per day. Yesterday about
49, GO bu. were received by rail. Strong conf
dence is felt that nothing is TO be gained by
hurrylng sales, and the experience go far is
that for every dull day we have had two brisk
ones Even ct the decline mentioned, prices
are about 1c higher than week ago. Tho fol-
lowing were the dosing prices Extra, S1.36 !;
No. l white, 1.31; Treadwell, 1.30 Amber.

NEW YORK MARKET.
New YORK, August 20.

New YORK, August 20.
The money market Is more active, which Is
caused by an increased demand for funds to
move grain and an increasing fall trade. Rates
are shade higher, namely 2 TO per cent. for
prime collaterals. Money however is abundant
and scarcity for all legitimate purposes is out
OF the question. Gold has advanced to 1925
and sterling declined to 1895, which further
widens the chance for profit on export staples
Flour is little off to-day, but this change is
looked upon a. temporary circumstance
buyers, it il remarked, find no better terms on
heavy purchases or those for future delivery
and withGl the market has strong under cur
rent. Wheat, which has been arriving heavily
for a couple 81 weeks, was a little lower this
morning, but before evening buyers took hold
with renewed confidence. The fact s now al
MOTT beyond dispute that the European grain
crops are going to DO much below an average,
aud our dealers are lool .ng forward with CO hi
dence to an active export year. Prices, under
the circumstances, possess much strength and
the market rules steady because holders are
not alarmed at an occasional decline. To-day
ILcIiSan WING BOlu tt SI.OO ana amber at
$1.47@1.50. Corn is inactive. Michigan cats
46@l9. Hops very firm contractors offer 40G9
SOC for prime 1S7l's, figures which may throw u
little light on the future OF tho market. The
buttermarket is quiet, exporters being checked
by unfavorabIe news from Europe; choice
Western 19@21c. Cheese Is dull and prices are
heavy, the low rate OF exchange and high ocean
freights stopping the export movement. Pro-
visions are quiet, but firm: mess pork @13.75(9
1880; lard is more firm and holders Of Wes-
tern are reducing the offerings. The convic-
ton is strong that provisions have seen their
worst day and much better market during
the balance OF the season IL quite probable
Petroleum has advanced to Csc, chiefly through
speculative doings, however. The dry goods
trade is more active, but the business is confin-
ed principally to the jobblng houses. III lines
OF cottons AMI woolens are held firm, and the
advance or raw cotton &c during the week
gives dealers peculiar advantage. Wool is
quieter than at any time for two months, and
spinners buy very sparingly.

Leaving the East and arriving AT Chicago CT
indianapolis, how shall we reach the West?
The beet Line il acknowledged to DO the c.. Z.
s. G, jonedtogether with the 3. {; II. Ballroad
by the Iron Bridge at Burlington, and called
the Burlington Route.
The main line OF the Route running 10 Oms-
ha, connects with the great Pacific Roads, AMI
forms to-day the leading route to California.
The Middle Branch entering Nebraska at
Plattsmouth, passes through Lincoln, the State
Capital and Will this year be finished to Fort
Kearney, forming the shortest route across the
Continent by over 100 miles.
Another branch Of the B. NJ, diverging at
Red Oak, falls INTO line running down the
Missouri through st. Joe to Kansas CITY, and
all Kansas. Passengers by this route to Kan
sas, see Illinois, Southern Iowa. and Missouri,
and, by a slight divergence, can see Nebraska
also.
Lovers Of fine views should remember the
Burlington Route, for it's towns ''high-gleam-
ing from afar"-lts tree-fringed streams-its
rough bluffs and quarles-its corn-oceans
stretching over the prniries further than eye
can reach.
Land-buyers will be sure TO remember it, FOL
they have friends among the two thousand who
have already bought farms from Geo. s. Harris
the Land Commissioner of the b. & NJ. r. r
at Burlington, Iowa, or among the four thou
sand home-steaders and pre-emptors who las
year filed claims in the Lincoln land Office

concerning the driving OF the mare Lucy, at

Ihckok took exception, and meeting Mr.. Smith
at the track on yesterday, asked whether he
wrote the report in question. Mr.. smith re-
nlied in the affirmative, whereupon Hickok
struck him a severe blow, cutting cash over
the eve. The matter will be taken up by the
trustees of the association. Whether the rules
admit OF Hickok's expulsion from the national
association or not, some action should be taken

From the Atlantic Monthly for April

BY ALICE CARY.

What is it that both epoil the fair adjoining
With which her body che would dignity,
When from her bed she rises in the morning
To comb, and plait, and tie
Her hair with ribbons oolored like the sky!
What is it that her pleasure discomposes
When she would sit and sing the sun away,
Making her see dead roses in red roses,
And in the dewfan gray
blight that seems the world to overlap?
What is it makes the trembling look of trouble
About her tender mouth and eyelids fair
All me, ah me she feels her heart beat double,
Without the mothers prayer,
And her wild fears are more than she can bear.
To the poor sightless lark new powers are given
Not only with golden tongue to sing,
But still to make her wavering way towar
heaven
With undiscerning wing:
But what to her doth her sick sorrow bring?
Her days she turns, and yet keeps overturning,
And her flesh shrinks, as if she felt the rod;
For, 'gainst her will. she thinks hard things con
corning
The everlasting God,
And longs TO be insensate, ike the cloo.
Sweet Heaven, be pitiful rain down upon her
The sanity charities ordained for such -
She was so poor in everything but honor,
And she loved much loved much
Would, Lord, she had thy garments hem t
touch.
HAPPY, it was the hungry heart within her,
The woman's heart denied its natural right,
That made her be the thing men call a sinner,
Even in her own despite.
Lord, that her judges might receive their sight

CLARENDON. - We have received the
following particulars of the fire in Clar.
endon, spoken of in yesterdays issue
About I 30 a. m, Friday evening, the
store ia Clarendon owned and occupied by
w. P Horton was entirely consumed. 1t
was a story and half building, with an
ell, and was insured for $3.50. The total
loss is $1,000, making Mr.. Horton a loser
of $3.50. He was at Rutland as witness
at the County Court at the time Of the
fire. The fire was discovered by his fam
lily, who were awakened by the smoke.
Nothing was saved but the desk and books
in the store.
While the wife of Mr.. Marcellus
Flanders of East Clarendon was on her
way to church, last Sabbath, her horse
became manageable, and she was pre-
cipitated from her carriage and severely
injured about the face and lower extreni-
ties The accident occurred just south Of
the long bridge. She was carried to the
residence of Mr.. Williams, and kindly;
cared for until the arrival of medical as
sistance. DIR. Ross Wilson is of the opin-
ion that there are no internal injuries.
