Ma1ls Burned East OF Che MO.

A baggage car from New York was
burned on the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern road on the 18th inst, while ap-
preaching Edgerton, about ITO miles East of
Chicago. All the contents were destroyed,
including considerable amount of mail mat
ter which was in one section of the car. The
fire was discovered shortly before arriving at
Edgerton, and when the train stopped at that
place the flames had rendered tic ,.sv Of water
Of no avail. No estimate Of damage can be
made although reports OF heavy losses by
passengers are current. The fire caught fire m
candle which was carelessly left burning in
the vicinity of large pile OF pappers. Some
5000 pounds of mial was burned, but there
were no letters, and the mail was chiefly for
Iowa and Nebraska. Among the principal
losers by the destruction Of baggage were NJ
L. Scott and daughter Of Erie, $1,000 worth of
diamonds; Daniel Bows, New York, valuable
papers and baggage, and many others for less
amounts. The car was formerly in the fast
mail service, and was valued at $4,000.

NEWS OFTHE WEEK.
Eux,sh Grai,, Trade.

The Mark Lane Express review of tho
wheat has been marketed in small quantities
and in an unsatisfactory condition. Both in
Mark Lane and in the provinces business was
restricted, as growers are not able to make
up their minds to accept the lower rate, at
which buyers expected to purchase. Sales,
however, have only been practicable at decline
of shilling per quarter, although the re-
duction principally affected badly conditioned
parcels. Imports of foreign wheat into Lon
don and Liverpool have been large, and buy
ers were enabled to satisfy their wants on
rather easiersterms. Trade has been some
what less repressed than of late, but the de-
mand nevertheless has been mainly retail.
considerable interest is conferred for the mo-
ment upon ne black Sea ports and the large
shipments of grain taking place in Odessa,
but in what condition these supplies will
reach us after having been stored in the up
country districts of southern Russia for many
months, is a matter of conjecture. There will
be some delay in shipping wheat from this
source, the transport service being very in
efficient. New American maize has come to
hand freely in good condition. Feeding stuffs
ruled slow. New maize and barley has been
a turn lower to sell, but oats, of which ar
rivals from abroad have been light, fully
maintained rates. Arrivals of wheat cargoes
at ports Of call have been moderate, but trade
ruled exceeding dull. and prices declined two
shillings per quarter. Maize and barley were
also neglected, and values gave way six pence
to shilling per quarter, with a tirmer feel
ing at the close.
