SPRINGFIELD Mass. J, August 14th.-TLe
Ne,0 England Homestead says; Apples are
scarce and more costly this season than
they have been for many years.
There was but half crop of winter fruit
in the famous Annapolis valley of Nova
Scotia, and a still greater reduction in the
apple belt of Southern and Western Onta-
rio and Michigan.
In Maine aud the limited sections of
Vermont and New Hampshire there was
but fair yield.
Throughout Southern New England,
New York, Pennsylvania New Jersey and
the interior States generally the promise of
winter fruit is worse than was ever before
known.
The great apple bell OF Western New
York has hardly any crop whatever and
curiously enough there is an area in Mis-
souri, and Kansas, within radius of 100
miles of Kansas City, in which there is a
phenomenal crop OF winter apples Of fine
quality. The Eastern buyers are already
gobbling it up at good price
The summer and fall apples are also
short and command good prices. Peaches
are practically a failure in Southern Onta-
rio aud Michigan, as well as in the South
ern States and Connecticut.
Pears and plums yield unevenly, but
far below the average crop. Grapes. how
ever, are an immense crop, save in sections
of New Jersey and the South, where the
black rot is playing havoc with the fruit.
The scarcity of other fruits will sustain the
market for grapes.

VICTORY FOR TIE SHIPPERS.
An Amendment to the New Bill of Lad
ing Adopted.


CHICAGO, August 14th.-The shippers
throughout the United States have gained
a victory over the railroads in securing a
modification of the uniform bill of lading
The concession made by the carriers con-
sists in the striking out of the words mot
negotiable" against which the chief COM
plant was made. At the meeting of the
joint committee of the trunk line and the
Central Traffic Association and representa-
tives of the lake and rail lines, which was
held in this city to-day, the subject was
fully discussed in the light of the OBJ
jections raised by the commercial organiza.
tons of the country.
Some threatened to discontinue the use
of the new bill of lading unless it were
adopted by all the lines, as the shippers
were now discriminating in favor of the
Grand Trunk, Wabash and the four lake
lines that refused to adopt it in its present
form.
Chairman Blanchard, of the Central Traf-
fic Association, strongly recommended the
words mot negotiable be stricken out.
The recommendation was unanimously
concurred in. and thus amended the bill of
lading was adopted by all the lines, to take
effect September 1st
Representatives of the Grand Trunk and
Wabash accepted this new form, as also did
all the lake lines. No action was taken in
regard to the other objections that have
been urged against the bill of lading but
the permanent committee on uniform
bill of lading was instructed to take them
up at the earliest possible day.
This practically settles the fight over the
uniform bill of lading. The amendment
makes it negotiable paper. Bankers will
no longer refuse to advance money on it.

A KENTUCKY BLAZE.
Two Million Dollars Worth of Property
DESTROYED


LOUISVILLE tKy), August 18th Tween
ty-five thousand barrels of burning whisky
at the Kentucky Distillery to-day caused
the most disastrous fire that ever visited
Louisville. A rough estimate made at
noon while the flames were still roaring
furiously. placed the total loss 81 $780, 900.
The flames caught from lamp held too
near to leaking whisky barrel.
The distillery property consisted of an
immense distillery containing machinery
for the manufacture of whisky, extending
back from the street $50 feet and three
stories in hight. Adjoining it were two
large warehouses, where were stol ed rs 900
barrels of whisky. All was totally con-
sumed. The property was fully insured.
1t was o'clock before the fremen got
control. and this was not until an immense
warehouse, the distillery proper, cattle
sheds and slsughter-houses, and pork
packing establishment of Conrad e. Seller,
adjoining, were completely destroyed.
The pork packing company's loss will be
$4,000 The total loss to the Kentucky
Disabling Company is estimated al $500. 600.
This is irrespective of the loss TO the Gov
eminent in unpaid taxes, 80 cents per gal
Ion, which will amount to 1891 ,635, max
ing total loss by fire OF not much less
than 100000 The insurance is roughly
placed at 100000.

The Mallory and Morgan Steamship
Lines Cutting Rates.
NEW YORK, August 14th.-The Morgan
Steamship Line is part OF the Southern Pa
cifc system in the East, and is having a
lively warfare with the Mallory Line
Each line accuses the other of starting the
troubles Both lines have extensive traffic
arrangr Iaents with the railroads, and issue
throug. 5ills of lading for the Pacific coast.
The st ggle now has been going on about
two W., ~. The quoted rates are purely
nomina The actual figures are fixed by
the shi, ger rather than by the steamship
compal '. The feeling between the two
companies is so bitter that any rate is APP
parently accepted rather than that the
rival should secure the freight. Dry goods
buyers particularly are taking &C vantage of
the situation, and are making large pur-
chases and hurrying along shipments in
order to secure the full benefit of the cuts.

not practically perfect.
General Sherman then, in feeling ad-
dress, presented beautiful chandelabra,

REHRING SEA.
Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain's Views
ON the Difficulty.

NEW YORK, August 14ih.-Right Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain, NJ. p. arrived yester-
day on the Teutonic, accompanied by his
wife, son and daughter. In talk about
the Behring Sea dispute. be said there had
been great deal of unnecessary talk and
nonsense about it. He had not yet seen
the communications that passed between
the two Governments, but he understood
that there were two points at issue. One
is the question of the close fur seal fishery,
which he thought both Powers in their
own interest would readily agree upon.
The other is whether Behring Sea should
be considered mare clausum. He thought
it sheer nonsense for any Government to
ask TO have sea with an entrance of 800
miles in width acknowledged as a closed
sea. His Government would not make
any such concession. but he did not be-
lieve that this would cause rupture of the
friendly relations existing between the
two countries.

SILVER BULLION.
The Government Will Make No Effort to
Buy Cheap.

WASHINGTON, August 14th.-The Direc-
tor of the Mint said this afternoon that he
expected to purchase 100000 ounces of sill
yer tomorrow, and expects to pay trifle
more than the London market rate for it.
He defended the policy of refusing to make
public the exact price the Department paid
for silver. The prices paid for silver has
never been made public heretofore, so there
was no departure. He continued:
There will be no attempt on the part OF
the Treasury Department to buy silver
cheap or to beat down prices. The Gov
eminent will pay the full market price, and
will buy four and half million ounces
monthly, if it IS to be had. The Admins
tration desires to see the price of silver ad-
vance, and there will be no attempt in the
execution of the new law to throw obstacles
in the way"
