CHICAGO, April 2.-The melting Of
snow and falling OF rain with the increas.
ing warm weather Of the past few days,
which ended yesterday, sent the snow Of
rapidly, and has had the effect OF flooding
the southwestern part Of this city to an
extent equal to about seven square miles
The water, which the sewers and drains
could not carry of with sufficient, ,rapi.
dity, has risen in some cases to the first
stories, and from the houses the people
are now obliged TO make their way out
in boats, improvised from floating timber
and the sidewalk. The damage to prop.
erty is very great in that section west Of
the Western avenue and south OF Har.
rison street and far into the country.
The water this afternoon fell somewhat,
but it will be several days before itleaves
entirely. No lives lost as yet, at least
none reported.
The damage inside the city limits is
small compared with that to the farming
lands along the Chicago & Alton Railroad
and the canal. The water in the canal,
which is six feet higher than the ordi.
nary level, has broken through in sew
eral places and flooded the lowlands for
miles 10 the south and east OF the rail.
road.
At a late hour tonight the water was
rising again, aud reports from the sur.
rounding country are to the effect that
all the streams are full and the water
gaining. No trouble will be experienced
in the business portion OF the city.

Tho Shoe and Leather Trade.

From tue n. Y. Bull0tiu.
Though as general thing business at.
fairs have not come up TO expectations in
the way ofimproyemenl since the begin
ing OF the year, there has beeu gradual
change for the better 10 some lines Of
trade, which, to say the least, leaves the
general position in more hopeful and
promising condition than it was
some time ago. Among those branches
which are thus fayOrGbIy situated,
the shoe and leather trade takes prOmi.
nent position. From nearly all sections,
as we'll as from the local trade, reports
indicate healthy business at this mo.
ment and promising outlook for the
future. In sole leather the demand for
export has been marked by gradual
increase, while for home use the quanti-
ties taken have been fully up to the
average. This continued fair outlet pre-.
vented a serious decline in values which
threatened early IN the year, and re-
stored feeling Of confidence to both
tanners and shoe manufacturers. In.
deed, it appears that on the average,
prices OF shOcs rule about the same now as
they did at this period last year, notwith.
standing the gloomy, depressing condi.
tiOn Of affairs that prevailed in the mean.
time. This, with prices OF sole leather rul.
ing slightly lower for oak, and about the
same aS last year on other kinds, places the
business in a very favorable position; the
expectations, as in sole leather, showing n
marked increase over last year, while
home consumption is full up to the aver
age. There seems to be but one impedi-
ment in the way just now and that il the
condition Of the hide market. II allow
ed 10 be controlled by actual want OF
tanners, prices would probably not
have been much, il anything, higher
than last year; but as it il, more
or less speculation has been going
on at intervals for some time past, and as
outside parties purchased considerable
quantities at high figures there has been
continued movement since 10 keep
prices we'll up, that they might sell out
without serious loss. As a matter OF
course, prices Of most desirable grades
now rule from to &c per pound higher
than at this period last year.
