FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Review of the Portland Markets

FOR THE WEEK ENDING DEC ~.
Business continues dull with but few changes to
note. The near approach to the close of
the year doubtless has much to do with the state of
affairs and revival of business is confidently looked
for at the opening of the new year. The dry goods
market show no material change, Gold is quoted at
$lO2g.
The apple market is firm and we quote at SO 90 to
81 90. Beans active at the prices of last week,
Butter is steady at IS to rs cents for family lots and
IA to IS for store Cheese is firm at the quotations.
Coffee is quiet and prices remain unchanged.
Cordage is rather dull and we quote prices cent
lower on all grades. Duck continues in good demand
for Portland manufacture. The fish market is
rather quiet just now, and there now changes
to note. Flour is dull and but little is now selling
at unchanged prices. Raisins are dull and prices
are easier. Corn is little easier and we quote car
lots at 65 to 68 cents and bag lots at 70 cents. Hay
is quite firm and is selling at $500. Iron is I'M
changed at the quotations. Lard Is dull and we
quote reduction, Leather is firm at unchanged
prices. Lumber is unchanged. Molasses is dull
and some sales made lower than the quotations.
Naval stores show reduction Lnseed oil is higher.
Beef is firm, but pork is lower and we make no
reduction in prices Granulated sugar is quoted at
o. cents, rather higher than last week. Teas and
Tobacco are steady and unchanged.

Rurnine of Mail Matter.

NEW YORK, March 13.-Advices have
been received here from Toledo, Ohio, that
upwards of 10000 ordinary and about 500
registered letters were destroyed by the
burning Of the postal car attached to train
No. 4, on the Buffalo and Chicago railroad,
leaving Chicago at ten minutes to 8 o. m.,
on the Sth. This train ccllided with a
freight train near Sedan, Indiana, the shock
upsetting the stove and burning up the car
and contents.
The registered mail lost must have been
valuable, as this train usually brings the
bankers remittances of bonds and other
collaterals, besides many costly articles
sent registered and for which no refund can
be obtained.

CHICAGO, March 1s.-A Monroe street

servant girl not long since, but was after
wards induced to give her shelter as an act

What Seems Liko Russlan Outrage
The New Bedford whaling merchants have
complained to Secretary Fish, through Con-
gresham Grape, that armed Russian YES
sells have driven whalers from the Ochotsk
SEQ, formerly favorite cruising ground,
and that the loss of thirty vessels by Arctic
ice in 1872, and of half the fleet last sum-
mer is due to this action of the Russians
Mr.. Fish says,in reply, that measures have
been taken to find what claim Russia has

given is that the Russian government means
to keep an armed vessel in the sea to drive
out all whalers that do not pay license of

Some Details oflhe Alabama Storm,
A correspondent telegraphs from Atlanta,
Ga -
~ hasten to give you the following par
ticulars of the movement and effects of q
terrible tornado which has passed over
Alabama. The storm seems to have origi-
mated farther south than has yet been re-
ported by telegraph. On the Sth inst. a
tornado similar to those that visited Geor-
gia year ago developed itself In the south
western part of Alabama or Mississippi and
swept towards the northeast, leaving death
and destruction in Its wake. A letter here
from Tallapoosa county, in Alabama, gives
some of the particulars Of the effects Of the
tornado in that section.
1t made it's first appearance upon the
plantation of Mr.. A. Grimmett, at Talla-
poosa county, and completely demolished
every house on the place except negro
cabin. A son Of Mr.. Grimmett, who was
in the corn crib experimenting the husking
of some corn, beard the roar and rush of
the wind, and 1t is supposed he started to
the dwelling house to protect his mother
and his aunt. Before he could reach the
house, however, the fury of the storm had
burst upon the place and he was struck by
piece of flying timber and instantly killed.
The dwelling was completely demolished,
and negro man killed by the falling TIM
bers. The two ladies, together with some
children, were caught under the roof, but
they were all rescued.
The houses and several other plantations
were utterly demolished, but as far as
heard from, there was no other loss Of life.
The tornado occurred early in the day."

THE NICHOLS GOVERNMENT.

A New Orleans telegram yesterday hav-

killed another was, by order of General
De Trobriand, turned over to the superin-

sons supposed that this was recognition
of the Nichols Government, but inquiry in
official quarters warrants the assertion that
there is no political significance whatever
in the order of General De Trobriand, nor
did any.instruction emanate from Washing
ton concerning the transfer of the soldier to
the police force. General ADgurs's orders
remain the same, and he does nothing more
than preserve the status quo.
