rne Great Fire at santiago, Chill.

OF all the calamities which have ever
in modern times Overtaken crowd OF
human beings in single building, the
burning of the church of La Campania,
Santiago, in 1868, has neverbeen equal
ed or approached. In one short hour
1000 people, nearly all ladies of youth,
rank, and beauty, were reduced to ashes.
The flower of the Capital of Chill had
gathered in the church in a spirit of
religious excitement, to payits devotionS
at the closing celebration of the I'M
maculate Conception. Every seat was
full. Nothing that invention could
suggest or wealth supply was omitted in
the adornments Of the occasion. The
interior of the church was hung from
roof to floor with floating gauze and rich
drapery and lighted with festoons of IN
Vulnerable paraffine lamps. An acolyte,
in lighting the last lamp before the
shrine, raised a flame which spread
instantaneously. A rush soon choked
the entrance with wall of dead and
dying twelve feet in hight. The melt
ing lead from the roof and the blazing
oil of the several lamps poured down
upon the heads 1000 tender women,
who could be seen from the windows Of
neighboring houses rushing wildly to
and from without an outlet Of escape.
The falling of the roof put an end to
their agonies and completed catas-
trophe which stands without q parallel.

STATISTICS OF FOREIGN TRADE.
The Iron Trade.


The Iron Age, in discussing the iron
markets, says: First, as TO ore, al
though the output of ore in the West
has been largely increased, the Lake
Superior region alone showing an IN
crease of 100000 tons, all of the first
class Bessemer ores seemed sold up.
This effects not only Bessemer pig, but
forge pig and bar iron. Ore for fettling
that two months ago was offered
at IS to $3.50 at Cleveland, Is now scarce
at $3.50. Foreign ores, OF which
con iderable is used near Pittsburgh,
have advanced considerably, owing, to
the advance in freights. Whether
there is any immediate relief Will de-
pend upon the time of opening naviga-
ton ON the lakes and the demand for
grain from Europe. If navigation
opens early and grain moves freely to
Europe, supplies of lake ores may be
abundant and freights fall on foreign
ores. The prospect Of either of these re-
Tefs does not look bright as we write.
In pig the stocks are well nigh eX-
bausted. In the west so many furnaces
have banked, owing to short supply OF
coke, that the makes of the past few
months have been very much reduced
and old stocks drawn upon. Bessemer
pig especially seems in very great de-
mand, and it is quite improbable that
the output can be materially increased
for some months, owing TO the reasons
given above concerning ore.
1.-THE nail market is in the same con-
dition as the bar iron market. There
has never been time when, relatively
to the production, the stocks were as
small as at present"
1.-THE price of muck bar, as compared
with that of bar iron, is an anomaly.
Good first-class muck bar has sold in
Pittsburgh at SIG. This same bar sold
three months ago at $40. Now muck
bar at SIG is about % cents pound for
iron, and, say four-tenths a pound for
putting it into bar, would make 81
cents for iron. Itshould be stated, how
ever, in fairness, that this bar is not
made into common bar, but into extras,
so that even at 2-5 card it might pay
TO use small quantities of muck at this
price in extras"
During the four months ended on Oc-
tober 81, 1881, there were 35l ,7Oi tons
of foreign iron ores imported to this
country. The value of the ore was 81,
Ol9,792. Says the Age: "The returns
for later period than October 81 have
not vet been collected, but seem to indi-
cate that the importation and use of
foreign ores during the present year
will exceed anything ever known in the
history of the iron trade of the United
States"
