crowds of citizens from this place, tour
lists, and country people jOstled each
other anxious to see every little detail of
removing the debris. Relatives of the
injured were all wondering at the mi
racuious escapes. Friends Of the sup

move fearing that some beloved one
would be next unearthed. The entire
train will prove a total loss.

Particulars regarding the prairie fire OF

around that point, but large quantities
of grain and hay were destroyed. One
party reports riding twenty miles along
the edge of the burned district and he
saw many people standing around
on the prairie destitute, having lost their
possessions by fire. The loss falls heav-
lily, coming at the close of a beautiful
harvest, the best for several years. Large
quantities Of grain have been destroyed.

New YORK, August 2S.-R. G. Dun's
~ Co.'S weekly review of trade will say:
Speculation in breadstutfs has broken
down. y failure to export at more than
about sl.lO for wheat has administered
correction which this trade greatly need
ed. The threatened withdrawal of crops
by the farmers alliance amounts to so
little that receipts were 11.4OO.OOO bush
els for last week reported against 1900
600 for the corresponding week last year.
while the receipts of other grain slightly
decreased.
Money is moving rapidly to the inter-
Tor. but the treasury has been strength
ening itself, adding s2,SOO,OOO more
treasury notes than it has put out. By
requiring deposits of gold at New York
against shipments Of currency to country
banks the treasury had somewhat in
creased it's gold reserve, but the main
fact is that it's receipts for the past week
have exceeded it's payments of all kinds
by about S1,2OO,OO0. The official an
nouncement that all the Az per cent
bonds not offered for extension on Sent.
LIST will be paid on demand promised a
large addition to the available currency
OF the LIST Of next month.
Crop prospects are in all respects ex-
ceedingly good and reports of injury by
frost do not appear to effect any consid-
cradle proportion of the crop. There is
every reason to believe the yield of wheat
will be much larger than the 55,OOO.OOO
bushels estimated by the agricultural
department, though a yield no greater
would have 2OO,OOO,OOO bushels for the
export market. Iron shows somewhat
larger sales and there is a better demand.
though new brands of Virginia iron are
still offered at low prices. Little i'm.
provement is seen in bar iron and plates
are more active, though prices are very
law. Structural iron is in fair demand
but not stronger in prices. The demand
for rails is stagnant, the combination
having succeeded in so far maintaining
prices that buyers are disposed to wait
as long as possible; in minor metals no
change is seen in prices.
Coal is weak but there is a better
feeling in the market.
Sales Of wool continue large and man.
~ufacture is fairly well obeyed.

Many Desolate Farms i'm tauik County.
North Dakota.
FAuLkToN. S. d., Aug. 20.-Ruin stares
many a farmer of Faux county in the
face today and gaunt-eycd poverty, its
companion, follows in the footsteps of
some. Worse than the severest hail
or the most blighting frost is the fire
fiend who swept with his lighted torch
over the northwestern section of the
county last night, reducing scores of
homes to ashes and converting prosper
Gus farms into charred and blackened
fields. The sight is truly a pitiable one,
All of the northwestern part of Faulk
county was thus destroyed by a fire
twenty miles wide and in length extend
ing from this city fifty miles northwest
as far as the eye can reach. The sky is
lit up today with burning hay and grain
stacks. and the wind is blowing a gale,
with the fire still sweeping on, leaving
ruin and black desolation behind.
Indeed, had not the people fought it hard
this town would have gone
up in smoke. Sol Peck, a poor farmer
living near by here, lost everything in the
shape of grain and his house is now
smoking ashes. Henry Hausleman is al
so in the same boat and farmers farther
distant are ruined by scores.
The deputy sheriff has just come in
from the country and says the sight is a
sad one. Men and their families are
walking about looking at what a few
hours ago were pretty farm houses and
farms filled with grain stacks. For a
space of twenty miles not a foot of grass
for stock even is left and the damage to
the county and people is nameless. M.
L. Linghn has just arrived from Loyal
ton, thirty miles north of this city and
reports that all the district south of that
town is burned. including a majority of
the hay and grain stock. Reports from
county give the same facts. The
so far is meagre. In many cases
families have been stripped of their all
and are in bad shape having lost all
their crops which they had just finished
harvesting.
