New YORK, June 10.-Large Guanti-
ties of provisions that were on the way to
this city when the disaster, happened in
the Eonemaugh valley were stopped at
various points along the railways. Eggs,
butter and cheese from Pennsylvania
and points in the west, and potatoes,
cabbage, and large quantities of other
vegetables from the south were thus de-
tained. The result is that the prices Of
these articles have gone up in the market
in this, city. The wholesale price of eggs
advance from to 1! cents per dozen,
butter went up as much as cents per
pound, apples from 25 to so cents bar
rel and potatoes in the same proportion.
Wholesalers were able to make ss,oou
deal of money from this state of things,
but the retailers, not TO Ds ttutaone.
made the consumers pay two or three
times the Wholesale advance. A large
quantity of potatoes and cabbage that
were coming from the south were sent
back by rail, and then again sent TO the
city by steamer. Yesterday 500 barrels
OF such potatoes came IN by bont. The
dealers IN poultry also made large profits
by the detention OF the stock on the road.
1t was rumored among merchants yester-
day that the Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany would sell tie perishable freight
which has thus been delayed for what
ever it could get to the people of the vi

nothing definite was known, although il
was said that it might be done in the in

the confession of a companion, and he
was convicted and sentenced to death.

people have been arrested on suspicion oil
