In spite of the usual midsummer dull
ness, aggravated this year by exception

quarters high hopes are stimulated by
excellent crop reports.

tight at Boston, active at Philadelphia
and in sharp demand in Chicago at 8
per cent. on call, the prospect is less
clear than it has been, though rates
here are comparatively steady. From

ports show distinct Improvements

advanced Is cents on sales of Is, 600, 900
bushels; corn ~ cents on sales of H.
900, 900 bushels, and oats 4 cent while
cotton is unchanged with moderate
dealings Hogs and lard are higher,
with potatoes and eggs, but oil is cents
lower, and the absence of buyers causes
disappointment in coffee, though prices
are held. Slow consumption of sugar is
also noticed. But the general average
of prices has advanced fully per cent
Reports from all quarters are hopeful.
Midsummer dizziness prevails at Boston,
increased by monetary stringency, and

fact that higher wages have been con-
ceded to iron workers. though higher

CHICAGO, July IA fright ful explo-
sion occurred last night on the steamer
Iloga, one of the largest vessels on the
great lakes Thirty-eight people were
aboard the steamer at the time When
the work Of rescuing survivors, which
commenced almost instantly, was we'll
under way only two persons could be
found who escaped unhurt To make
matters worse fire broke out on the
wrecked vessel and huge volumes of
flame and smoke impeded the search
ers for the dead and dying. The burst
ing Of the steamers boilers was the
cause of the catastrophe.
1t was in the Chicago river at the
foot of Washington street that the ex-
plosion occurred. This locality is in
the heart of the business section Of
Chicago and the terrific shock of the
explosion brought people running in
terror out of the tall buildings blocks
away.
Most of the victims were Chicago
stevedores who were unloading the yes
sell Only three Of the Tiogas crew
were reported on the list.
The fire proved stubborn one and
made it impossible at the time to verify
the report that the boilers had ex-
ploded, and statement was current
that the explosion was due to the acct
dental lighting of large quantity of
combustibles in the deep hold near the
stern where the fire held sway. Through
the bursts of fire could be seen great
Jagged cleft in the Tioga's decks and
cabin and aloft on the tall smoke stacks
dangled a huge framework OF timber
fan-astically swaying backward and for
ward, telling of the terrific force of the
explosion which sent it there from
thirty feet below.
About SIS, 600, It was estimated, would
cover the damage to the vessel and car
go. This amount was believed to be
fully insured. q tn....fN Il. 15-1sE
The explosion did much damage to
surrounding buildings, and windows
were broken half a mile away.
Up to midnight seven dead and
wounded men had been taken from the
boat, and it was then believed that not
more than eight others were in the hold.
