FOREIGN GRAIN MARKET.

LONDON, May 10.-The Marx Lane Er.
pres says: The weather continues cold,
with some irosts, but it has not caused
much anxiety, as weeks sunshine would
speedily restore wheat, which has lost
color in some localities. The continuance
OF the hopeful crop prospects has de.
pressed the grain trade. The country
markets have been very moderately sup.
piled in English wheat. The condition Is
improved, but trade remains inanimate
and decline OF Ia per quarter has been
necessary 10 effect sales. At the close oil
the week. however, there was more firm.
ness and there were some signs that the
decline had been arrested. The imports
OF foreign wheat into London has been
very moderate. There was fair consup.
tive demand on Monday at a reduction OF
shilling per quarter on white descrip.
tions.
The decline since has not been much
increased by spectators on the prospects
ofdiminution. Russian exports being OF
taken little or no advantage OF the prevail.
ing low rates, they expect further de.
cline, which does not appear unlikely II
the American dealers continues to ship
heavily and the weather remains favor
able. Here and abroad Maize Is harden
ing; good trade was done in mixed Am
erican at llast Mondays quotations OF 2Ss
and Cd
The arrivals at the ports have been
moderate. Wheat, in consequence of the
strong continual demand, continues to
harden. Prices rose ashilling, although
there Is not much Kingdom bidding. Red
winter closed at 81 bhillings; No. l stand.
ard California at quarter shiIlings;
white Michigan at 50a51 shillings. There
has been quite demand for maize al
q slightly improved price. Wheat for
shipment is not freely offered and buyers
still hold aloof. Maize has been held for
rather more money but very little bu.
siness was done. The sales Of English
wheat last week were 2S93l quarters at
40 shillings, against 1874 quarters at 40
shillings aud pence for same period last
year. The imports into the Kingdom for
the week ending May !, were 1856, ,262
cwt wheat and 100, $50 cwt flour.

LONDON, May 10.-The following is the

port or even defend political language

TURKEY,

CoNsrANrlNoPLE, May lo.-The British
Embassy here and the Porte are exchang-
ing angry notes relative to the suppress
sion Of the Lepant Herald and Whittaker's
(the editor) subsequent sentence to seven.
teen months imprisonment, for publishing
new number Of his journal. The En-.
bassy maintains that the decree against
Whitaker is informal and cannot be rec.
ognized, and that Whitaker can only be
condemned after trial. The Porte is in.
disposed to permit a trial, because Whit
takers contumacious issue contained
grave charges against the Grand vizier,
which would by trial get greater pub
licity.
The Porte insists upon It's right to in.
fict summary punishment. Whitaker
meanwhile has left the city, and the En-.
bassy refuses to countenance or assist in
the execution Of the decree against him.
The Porte has not yet succeeded in ar.
ranging the payment OF the salaries, and
the distress among the officers Is very
great. Captain Pasha has been mobbed
by women whose husbands are away
in the service. They threatened to
throw their children under his feet,

The Fire Stiil Raging Destruction OF OIL

BRADFORD, Pa, May l0.-The fire las
evening at Rixford is still raging, but il
confined to three twenty-five thousand
barrel oil tanks, two OF which are owned
by the United pipe lines and the other by
the Tidewater. Two or three others own
ed by the Tidewater are in imminent
danger. one Of which Is situated only
about four hundred feet from the ones
now burning, and it is expected that they
will 90. The greater portion oil Rixiord
has been consumed by the conhagration,
and total loss was realized on all ground
over which the fire moved, as so rapid was
It's course that nothing conld be saved. 1t
Is impossible as yet to make any reasona-
bic estimate what the loss will be, but at
present writing 1t will exceed two hundred
thousand dollars. About fifty rigs were
also consumed. The fire is now raging in
the woods, two miles beyond Rixford, in
Vincent Hollow, but no property as yet
has been destroyed, and the chances are
that rain will fall before this second fire
will assume alarming proportions.
LATER-It is reported that the fire in
Vincent Hollow enveloped several small
wells. Hundreds Of others are in danger.
NEW YoRK, May l0.-G. II. Lincoln,
President OF the Petroleum Exchange,
has the following telegram from Bradford,
Pa:
Rixiord and both pipe line stations are
burned. Three united and two tidewater
iron tanks are now burning and more are
in danger.
A later dispatch says: 0n0 pump sta.
ton, two $4,000 and one 5000 gallon tanks
(all United) are burning. Two tidewater
tanks are most sure to burn. There is
nothing else in danger. Forty wells aud
eighty buildings are estimated as burned.
The loss in Rixford is estimated at SG0,.
900 with light insurance. Several
dangerous fires are now raging In the
woods near Barnum City and Coleville.
Oil property is thickly located through the
forests in those sections, both OF which
are twelve miles from Bradford. As yet
little property has been destroyed at
either place. Four hundred men are
fighting the flames near Coleville, and a
large number near Barnum. A brisk
breeze is blowing and the woods in every
direction are as dry as timber, making the
peril very great. Rain is the only means
Of completely subduing the forest fires.
