audience to a high pitch Of excitement,
and all madly rushed for the door, and
safely escaped without any serious acci-
dents. When the hose companies reach
ed the scene the fire was beyond CON
troll Many persons had forced their
way in, loaded with patent fire extin-
guisher, which proved of little conse-
auence, and soon four strong streams
played on the burning bnildng, but the
nnly work which could now be done was
to keep the fire from spreading to the adj
joining buildings.
The fire is d sad blow to that veteran
manager, John Mcguire. He was one Of
the principal stockholders. He lost his
library, one Of the most valuable in the
territory, and manuscripts that have been
the saving Of his lifetime. He especially
regrets the loss Of his manuscripts, which
can never be replaced He also lost his
wardrobe, valued at several thousand dol
lars. He says his total loss On the opera
heuse and personal effects viii be fully
$4,000. He had no insurance on his per-
sonal effects. Louis Villemaire, his as
sistant, lost all his valuables. Mcguire
has many attractions booked to appear
soon, and if he cannot secure house his
losses will increase. While the fire was
raging he was around trying to engage
Renshaw hall for the appearance of Adele
Payne tomorrow. He finally secured
Turner hall, and the company will show
there. All that remains now of the opera
house is four walls. It is safe to assume,
however, that the building will soon be
built. It was the pride Of Butte and
paying property. There was q large sale
Of seats for the nights performance and in
q few more minutes the house would have
been crowded.

New YORK, July 19.-Trade this past
week has been excessively quiet, and
large transactions have been very few.
One wellknown conservative house
moved lot Of $4,000 pounds Of medium
unwashed wools, principally Georgia, but
this resulted from the fact that they de-
sired to close out their stocks rather than
for any particularinquiry for these wools.
The present quotations for Georgia woods
il this market are about 24@25 cents,
with some lots moving as low as 23 cents.
The market for medium woods in general
IS hardly as strong as it was couple Of
weeks ago, from the very fact that there
is such q small demand for them, and any
pressure on the part Of holders to move
their woods would RESULT in further weak
ening in prices. There has been num-
Der of inquiries for fine fleeces this past
week, but nothing Of any consequence
has been done in them, as there are none
here to speak of. w." ~ @
