THE BRITISH GRAIN TRADE.

The Mark Lane Express, in the review OF
the grain trade for the past week says: 1t is
new certain that the wheat crop will not
amount to an average yield. The English
wheat trade is about the same as it was be-
fore the holidays. Flour dull and some-
what weaker. Oats advancing, other ar
ticles unchanged. Foreign -four freely sup
piled; prices rather easier; foreign barley
quiet and steady. Cargoes off coast dull;
traders restricted by large supply. Twenty.
Eve cargoes arrived; four sold, nineteen
withdrawn and eleven rem ain, of which four
are red, four Californian and two Oregon.
The trade in csrgoes on passage or for ship
ment is almost nothing. Sales of Eaglish
wheat the past week 7l,758 quarters at ABS

CHICAGO, May 2l.-A storm Of e1traordi-
nary violence prevailed on Lake Michigan
last night, and a number OF sailing vessels,
bound for this port, were wrecked, but the
extent of the disasters is only yet partially
known. The chief disaster thus far reported
is that Of the o.masted schooner, Jennie
Lynn, lumber laden, from MuscokeD, which
made hsrbor south Of the city during the
night, casting two anchors. Everything was
made clear above decks, but the wind, COM
ing from tn. northeast, drove her toward the
shore. Her cable parted, and becoming un-
manageable che was capsized while near
land, about 5 o'clock this morning. The
mate, Excl Sample, swan for shore and was
rescued. John Anderson, captain, S. Peter
son, A. Helgeson aud a man named Chris.
tiansen, sailors, were drowned. The schooner
Mary Ellen Cooke, Capt. WIlliams, early
this morning bore down on the outer govern
ment breakwater light, it having either been
extinguished by the storm or through inabil-
ity Of the lighthouse keeper to light it, it
being placed in an exceptionally exposed
place. The vessel was driven against the
breakwater and afterward carried by the
waves completely over the obstruction into
the inner harbor, where she soon water
logged. A tug succeeded in rescuing the
crew with the exception of young boy
named Frank Miller, who in the excitement
threw himself overheard and drowned. The
schooner Henry Berger, lumber laden, from
LudingteD,w was also driven against the break
water and wrecked, but the crew saved.

No wonder Oscar Wilde's Nihilistic

1t was four hours long and only had
one woman in it. 1t was awfully sol

was a CLEAN Of humor in it. The
only sparkle Of variety was little

seems, for Mary Anderson, but as she
is already an assured success, she

THE returns from Ohio are still incomplete,
but enough is known to show that Hoadly is
elected Governor by about 1900 plurality,
and that the Legislature is Democratic on
joint ballot.
In accounting for the days work two
facts appear to stand out prominently: One
is, that the Democrats sadly misjudged their
strength in the cities of Cleveland and Gin
cinnaH, they having lost $1,000 in these two
cities over their majority OF year ago; and
the other is, that in the rural counties the
prohibitionists have INDUCED their hobby to
an extent that unquestionably defeated the
Republican ticket The prohibition
lists asked the Republican party
of Ohio for an opportunity to
vote upon a constitutional amendment, just
as they did in the State of Indiana. The Re-
publicans granted them their request over
the opposition of the Democratic party, and
then, at the first opportunity, the very men
who asked this of the Republican party, or
ganized and procured its defeat. The vote
upon the second amendment, while very
large, is not sufficient to carry it by 100000
according to the best advices now at hand.
