Damage to the Erie Railroad.

PORT JERvIs, Aug. 1S.-This afternoon,
about two o'clock, the roadway at the cascade
ravne on the Erie railway, about four miles
this side of the Susquehanna depot, Penn.
was washed away, making gap of 225 feet
long and $50 feet deep. At this point the rail-
road crosses ravine about $50 feet deep and
400 feet wide, spanned by an immense trestle,
which was filled in several years ago. Fears
were entertained that the embankment would
go out. About two o'clock the water wss seen
to rise very fast, and in few minutes the i'm.
mense dam gave way. The cause of the water
rising so rapidly was the breaking away of a
mill dam some distance above the railway 1t
will proba bly, require five or six days to put a
trestle across the gap. The Erie trains take
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western train
from here. The storm is now over and the
barometer is rising.
A Binghampton despatch says much damage
has been done to the roads. The Utica &
Syracuse trains have been delayed by high
water. The rivers are high but doing no dam
age.

There is no change to notice in domestic since last

mestc heeces are still in most request and command
very full prices Fine heeces inquired for.
and prices have now touched low point that
manufacturers are purchasing with more confidence.
The New York Shipping List reports the move
ments in that market as follows The principal fea-
ture of the past few days has been further decline
on Ohio fleece The market is in deplorabe condi-
ton, holders anxious to realize and manufacture
ers noticing the weakness refuse to purchase any
great extent
The Philadelphia Commercial List says of that
market: The market continues in very fiat and I'M
satisfactory condition. The stocks in the hands of
the dealers are steadily accumulating This is owing
to the continued inactivity in goods and the closing
of large number of mills throughout New England
