LATE NEWS.

A dispatch from Indianapolis, January
18th, says that fire broke out in the
wholesale district at II O'Clock and ragged
fercely for three hours 1t is now under
control. Several firm were burned out.
Among them are Bryan, Cornelius &
Co, dry goods Tanner & Sullivan, tin
ners' and plumbers supplies Corners
& Son, overall mandatory Mckee &
Grammar, boots and shoes Pierson &
Wetzell, queensware; d. P. Erwin, dry
goods, and Stout & Co., wholesale
grocers. It is impossible to give an ac-
curate estimate of the losses tonight,
but they connot be less than $750,000
and may reach 81 ,000,00O The insur-
ance is thought to be full.
Gold has again been found in great
quantities in Richardson's Hills, Hast
ings county, Ontario. Powell, who made
the first discovery, in 1865, is the lucky
man this time The old mine was pur-
chased by Lombard and Harden, two
Chicago capitalists, who took out nearly
5000, 900 before the pocket was ex-
hausted. The new vein opened was
secretly discovered years ago by lowell,
but he refused to divulge it until a share
was given him in the concern. The
gold dust is very plentiful, and the
deeper the shaft is sent the richer are
the ore developments.
The latest intelligence from Massowah
of the approach of hostile Abyssinian
army creates much excitement here.
Public opinion urges the Government to
send re-enforcements, but the military
authorities do not seem to think them
necessary at present, having $4,000 men
on the spot. However, everything is
ready at the Naples arsenal for the
formation Of a third brigade. General
Van Mariana has asked for 300 more
pack-saddles for camels and for 900
cases to transport ammunition across
the mountain passes, besides rifles with
which to provide the friendly border
tribes. The Archimede, with cargo of
ammunition and stores, left Naples jan
uary 18th.
General Butler must pay the $4,000
which the National Home for Disabled
Volunteer Soldiers, of which he was
Commander some years since, insist he
misappropriated while in charge. The
original case last spring was heard before
Judge Carpenter of the United States
Court, personal enemy Of Butler. The
latter appealed, insisting that the Judge
was biased Judge Collins Of the
United States Circuit Court upheld
Judge Carpenters decision and issued
an execution for the amount in question.
The General insists that he will appeal
to the Supreme Court.
General Kaulbars, formerly Russian
Agent at Sofia, writes to a friend in
Vienna as follows: ''Since the time we
passed together ia Sofia many things
have changed, but one thing has not
changed, and that is Russia's fixed reso-
luton not to give away under any pre-
text on those questions concerning
which I told the Bulgarians in 1886 that
the world might end before the Russians
would make concessions"
The St Petersburg "Novoesti" says
that Russia proposes to place an export
duty on platinum of 10 gold roubles per
pood (thirty-six pounds English or forty
pounds Russian.)

MANCHESTER. Nov. 21-The Guardian, in
its commercial article, says: A quiet tone
prevails throughout the market. The tran
sactons, though fairly numerous, are no.
where So important as those in a few depart
mentS last week. There is little fresh inquiry
for India aud China but occasionally orders
in quantity are available at former prices.
These. however, are so poor as to be no
longer acceptable. Producers, though ac-
cepting the best offers obtainable TO keep
their looms going, are unwilling to contract
far ahead in the face OF the present unfavor-
able margin although in rare instances,
business is sounder. There is q small
export, yarn business. Fair orders
for bundles for China have been on
hand for several days. but the limits are
ls@i.d TOO low. Prices are poor. There is
little India or European business. Home
manufacturers are buying in small quanti-
ties. The transactions in cloth are fairly
numerous, but are rarely important. A few
orders have cen put through for India and
China staples nj previous rates. Finishing
goods for the foreign markets are in moder-
ute demand. Home houses aIe occasionally
doing little more. Printing cloths, especially
the lower reeds, are selling at miserably poor
prices. Colored goods for the foreign trade
are in poor demand. Home houses have
given out fair orders. Neivets are neglected,
most producers having the greater part of
their looms stopped. Heavy and plain goods
are quiet but steady, with a few moderate
transactions.
