The day has been quiet in trade circles from
the same causes which We have previously noted.
The only changes in eur last quotations are ad-
yances IN sugar and rye -four, which were given
cut in this column as the prospect There will
be . further advance Of 1c. through the entire
line Of sugars during the present month. In an
ticipation OF this the stock In Washington has
been increased to 1000 barrels. And perhaps
higher quotations Will be established on slrups
and nOlasses. "a" white sugar is now selling q
higher at 1915.
Rye -four in large lots will bring S5@5.5O per
barrel.
Provisions are active and stronger to-day.
Proof Whisky will sell between Sl.259I 80 next
week.
The prospect or certainty of these advances
will no doubt stimulate the market to activity.

The FRENCH INUNDATIoNs.-As the de-
tails arrive of the disaster that has brought
suffering and desolation to one of the fairest
valleys of France we begin to recognize
its extent and Importance. The districts
lying along the Garonne have been absolutely
laid waste by the food. The loss of life will,
in all probability, prove greater than at first
was feared. Two other rivers in the same
region, according to the latest cable de-
spatches, have overfowed their banks, and
the results have been equally disas-
trous. Public and private efforts are be.
ing made to furnish relief to the stricken
people, and it would be only grateful return
for America to do something TO help the I'M
fortunate inhabitants of the Garonne Valley.
Many of our countrymen annually seek health
in the invigorating air of the Pyrenees, and
not one but brings back kindly memories of
the inhabitants of all that region. Now is the
time to express practically their sympathy
by giving something from their store to sup
ply the wants of those who have been de-
prived of oil means of subsistence by ca
lamity no human foresight could have pre-
vented,

So far as can be judged from the testimony
taken in the Coroner's investigation at Far
Rockaway yesterday. the responsibility rests
chiefly upon Mr.. Poppenhusen, the general
manager of the road, who was on board the
train with Conductor Hibbard and encouraged
him to start. Goodenough, q telegraph
operator OF Far Rockaway, testified
that he received o telegram stating the posi-
ton of the train and that he communicated
the information to the conductor, who dsre-
garded it. He further testified that, accord
ing to the rules of the company, conductors
ore bound to disregard all kilograms that
do not come to them from officers of the
road. But it is q dictate of common
sense and common prudence that when
trains are out of time conductors should
resort to the telegraph to learn tho position
of trains with which there is a possibility of
collision. The position of the coming train
was known to the operator at Far Rockaway
and the information was disregarded. Even
if it had not been known, it was the duty of
General Manager Poppenhusen to have gone
to the telegraph Office and found out
before permitting Conductor Hubbard to start
his train. Mr.. Poprenhusen would there
fore seem responsible tor the collision, whether
he knew of the telegram or not When trains
get dlsarranged the great resource for finding
their position is the telegraph, and if mes
sages do not come it is the duty of those
in charge to seek them. Neglect to do so
is utterly inexcusable.
Mrs. Stanklif, the wife of brakeman, tes-
titles that she heard the whistle of the ap-
preaching train, and excitedly gave warning,
of which no notice was taken. She saw the
telegraph operator give the conductor piece
of paper, and when she saw the train start,
after hearing the whistle of the other, she
exclaimed, "My God is this train going
out j? the other is coming in!" Within two
or three minutes after the horrible collision
had taken place. 1t was the consequence of
disregarding or at least of failing to seek in
form alton by telegraph of the position of the
coming train, and of being deaf to the sound
of the whistle when it approached Conduc-
tor Hubbard has paid the penalty of his
negligence, but General Manager Poppen-
husen, who, as his superior, ought to have
controlled him, has fearful load of guilt
resting at his door according to the present
state of the testimony.

SPAIN CONTINUES to rock in the uneasy seas
Of civil war and bankruptcy. The appreben-

he had no qualities of the king but amiabiL

death from suicide by drowning in a els

THE NewportS Street Railroad Company
have commenced, to-day, running their
cars up into the central part Of the city.
Ihey have been for some time past try
ing in Council and other places to have
the use of either Third, Fourth or Filth
| street, over which to run their cars be-
tween Walnut and Vine, but have In ev-
cry instance been defeated by the Cow
ington Company. About three weeks
ago they made propositions to bullock,
West and other street railroad mag
mates, to pay rental for the use OF
Route No.9. These gentlemen promised
to give all answer in a few days, but
have not since responded. The New
port company, exercising what they
claim to be their right, to-day COM
menced running their cars up Walnut,
out Fifth and down ViSe. Yney claim
to be acting under legal advice. 1t is
not yet known whether they will
be enjoined OF not; a compromise
may be effected. The Newport COM
pany some time since got an Or
dinance through Council allowing the IN
to run upon Vine to Third, east on
Third to Walnut and down. Whereupon
the Covinston company, which had been
running ZIP on Vine and down on Wal
nut, reversed their route and run up on
Walnut and dowh on Vine. This would
have brought the Newport cars face to
face with the Covingt0n cars on Walnut
street. They could, not follow the Cow
ington cars because their charter did not
allow them TO run west on Third street,
and if it had they could not have done so
without running into the Third street
cars. They now claim that they have a
right under their charter to bring their
cars into the center of the city, and are
authorized to use the Covington CON-
pany's line if that corporation interieres
with the operation of their own line as
laid out and described by the Council
ordinance.
