Movements in Realty.

As showing that holders of property have
confidence in the stability of the market, Mr..
W. c. Stewart had this. to say yesterday: II
have orders for ten high-class properties on my
books, but am unable to fill them for the rea-
son that owners will not accept what is con-
sidered fair market price. For example. 1
made a man an offer of $50 900 cash for a prop
erty, which he refused. All he ever asked for
1t was $50. .00O. l made another man an offer of
slO. COO cash for a property which he held
at sll 500. 1t cost him 5000 short time ago.
This shows that owners have more confidence
in realty than in any other security. and hesl-
taIe to sell unless they can get full figures"

DECATUR, Ill, Sept. 28.-An earth
quake shock was felt here at II o'clock
Saturday night. Dozens of families in
all parts OF the town were awakened.
They thought there was a storm till
they saw the sky clear. Some felt their
houses tremble fully a half minute.
There IS much excitement, though no,
damage has been reported.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Sept. 2S.-Reports,
to the State Board of Agriculture from
twenty-eight counties in different parts
parts Of the State, say that In all but
one of them there has been no rain for
over six weeks. In every county heard
from the pastures are becoming
parched by the sun, the wells are dry
ing and stock is suffering greatly for
want of water.
ST.. LOUIS, Sept. &c. -Pennington's air
ship which was under a tent at the fair
grounds, in readiness for a trial to be
made Friday, when the athletic sports
Will be IN progress, was caught up by
a storm which passed over the city
yesterday afternoon and was blown
away. AS no trace of the ship has
been found, it is supposed that it was
destroyed. The ship cost $50, 900.
OANANNAH, OGpU, AS.-1u6I0 Is q llU-
tie change in the wharf laborers' strike
since last night. About twelve hun
dred men are out. The strikers are
quiet and are keeping away from the
wharves. They say they do not pro-
pose to interfere with nOn-uniOn men,
but union men will not be allowed to.
work. Three ships of the New York
and Boston lines r lying at the
wharves waiting to load and unload.
RED LAKE, Mimi, Sept. ga wind
storm, which assumed almost the pro-
portions of a cyclone, swept through
the counties of Bellrami and Itasca
yesterday, prostrating everything be-
fore it. The damage to pine timber
was great, p1 obably aggregating from
one hundred and fifty million to two
million feet. The region is only inhab-
tied by lumbermen, prospectOrs, and
hunters at this time of the year, and it,
is not yet known whether or not there
was any loss of life.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 29-The poor
in the famine districts are reduced to
eating ~sweepings and refuse from the
-four mills. This material is so inju-
riOus that cattle are not allowed to feed
upon it. The government is blamed
for not permitting the exporting of rye
before the supply was exhausted. The
famine is not the only source of dis
tress. A plague has destroyed thou
sands of heads of cattle and many vii
lagos have been burned, the inhabit-
ants being too weak from hunger to,
combat the flames.
