ANOTHER CRASH.
Daniel Drew, the Veteran
Spectator, Gone Up.
Liabilities Estimated at ST.
100000.

NEW YORK, March l3.-The Sun says
says Daniel Drew has filed petition in
bankruptcy.
Mr.. Drew states his liabilities would
probably amount to 100000, The ea
dswment of the Drew Theological Sem
mary at Madison, New Jersey for $3.50
900 and that of the Wesleyan University
at Middletown, Connecticut for Sl00, 900
are secured by mortgages on his farms.
This was done soon after his first troubles
when he felt the need of protecting them
as executor OF the estate of his grand
children. Mr.. Drew is liable for $780,
900 additional, but this he says is secured
by mortgages. Mr. Drew has been on
Wall street for thirty years past. He
dates the beginning of his financial mis-
fortunes to the loss of million dollars
in corner in Northwestern two or three
years ago.
Danial Drew, VINO petitions in bank
ruptcy, is liable upon the endorsement Of
q note Of the Drew Theological seminary
at Madison New Jersey in the sum Of
100000 and also on the the endorse

Foreign Grain.Market.

LONDON. March 13.-The Mark Lane
Express in the weekly review OF the
gram trade SAYS the weather has UNDER
gone no improvement in any part OF the
country, while at the end of the week
it has been altogether rough, stormy and
unsettled. Vegetation under so much
rain and cold wind has made
very little progress and wheat,
which was everywhere reported to look
well. will shortly stand in need OF dryer
days and warmer land. The holders OF
good wheat evinced little disposition to
meet the millers' views, and this feeling
somewhat contracted operations. In
spite of the position of the merchants, II
cant be denied that the present
is period of great depression
as compared with the expectations
formed at the time of the last harves'.
The prices realized forproduce must be
very Disappointing both to merchants
and farmers and want ofsure foundations
wbereop TO base operations reflects much
against the probability of any marked
Improvement The absence OF frost as
the season advances tends to keep the
market quiet, and as large stocks are still
known to be in the granaries, clrculators
are deferred from operating sufficient to
influence the course of trade, in spite OF
the tendency to do so, now that the range
of prices is so moderate, having regard
to inferior European and American
crops. In short, the weather influences
will soon be supreme in determin-
ing the course OF pic. PElees
1t would appear that even if the present
dullness continues no great decline can
be looked for, whilst with continued ad-
verse weather the probabilities lie IN the
direction of material improvement.

AFire that Looks Belknappish.

MEMPHIS, March lS.-At balf.past
u o'clock this morning, fire was dis
covered in the office of the Surveyor of
Customs, over the Bank of Commerce, on
Madison street. The police and bank
watchman found the doors locked. After
breaking in they found the clerk OF the
Surveyor, who stated that ne had been
working there till that hour, when the
lamp exploded and set some paper on
fire. The alarm was sounded and the
fire extingui,hed, but not until the books
and papers of the office were either
burned or badly damaged. The re.
mark of the clerk after the fire, that 1t
looked Belknsppish, causes considerable
comment. General Smith, Surveyor OF

WASHINGTON, March lS.-The Com
mittee on Expenditures of the War De-

was present, but as the books and papers
of the accounting officer ofthe Kentucky
Central Railroad Company, will not be
brought to the city until lato tonight,
and as papers called for from the War
Department had not yet been furnished,
the examination of Mr.. Pendleton was
postponed until to morrow.
Allen f. Terry, formerly steamb boat
man on the upper Missouri river, testi-
fed that he carried goods for Casselbury

trading posts. He knew of no transac-
tions between Orville Grant and Durfee
Peck, and never said, as reported, that
Grant was interested with the Secretary
of War in the disposal of trading posts.
He knew of no money having been paid
to any of the traders for the purchase OF
their posts, and said he was subpened on
the strength OF newspaper article. which
was ful | of falsehoods.
