NANDERBILTS FINE VILLA
RUINS.
Hungry Flames Lick the Valuable
Tapestries With Thousand Fiery
Tongues and New Ports Finest

Residence il No More
By Telegraph to state Chronicle.
New PORT, Nov. 25.-The Brokers'"
the elegant and costly summer residence
of Cornelius Vanderbilt, is TO night a
smouldering mass of ruins. Blackened
and crumbling walls of brick and heaps
of ashes are all that remain of the pala-
tial villa, which for years has been num-
bered among New Ports largest and
finest residences. The fire also DESTROYED
all the valuable contents of the villa, in
Guiding furniture, bric-a brac, wearing
apparel and costly articles of every de-
scnption
The fire was discovered by Mr.. Van.
derbilt himself about 80 p. m. the
smoke being in the main hall Within
a few hours the building and contents
were totally destroyed. Before an alarm
could be sent to Ochre Point. nearly a
mile and half away, and the apparatus
reach the scene, the fire was far beyond
control.
The character Of the furniture and de
c0rations may be judged from the fact
that IN single hall were hung tapestries
estimated To he worth $500, 600 or more.
! Members of the family and servants alike
lost all their clothing. Mr.. Vanderbilt
aud family found temporary refuge in
the gardeners cottage on the premises.
Mr. Vanderbilt could give no accurate
estimate of his loss, which, however, he
stated, was largely covered by insurance.
The silver, jewels and other vaiuables OF
a like nature, were placed in the safes,
and are probably all right. Estimates
place Mr.. Vanderbilt's loss at not less
than 5000 600 over insurance.

By Telegraph to State Chronicle.
NEW York, Nov. 25.-R, G. Dun &
Cos, weekly review of trade says:
The condition of business throughout
the country appears excellent, with the
volume Of trade greater than in any pre-
vious year. At Boston trade is good,
prospects are considered excellent and
money is easier at lower rates At Phil
adelphia trade in general is fairly active.
At Baltimore slight increase is seen in
the local demand for goods, the supply
Of money is ample, and the caution
shown in southern dealings has been
justified By excellent collections
this season. At Cincinnati cigar man
ufacturing does well, exceeding last
years trade Is per cent, and jobbers
are doing satisfactory business with
good prospects. The volume of trade at
Chicago is satisfactory and collections
are good, with money in strong demand,
cure cy being wanted for the southwest
At Minneapolis the flour output is 1877,
coo barrels against 100 900 last year and
the lumber market is strong, the cut be
ing 500, 900 900 feet, the largest on
record. Trade is improving at New
Orleans, with money much easier and
cotton and sugar very active.
In speculative markets cotton has alb
sorbed inserest because Of enormous
transactions, amounting to about 6, 6,000,-
900 bales, or nearly the entire crop, in two
broken aud one full week The sales this
week have been /. 800, 900 bales, and the
price has advanced 5-16 with small signs
of the resction. Low crop estimates now
prevail at the south on the ground that
frost has done much damage. Wheat is
comp paratively inactive, with 3-S of cent
decline, and corn and oats are unchanged
with small transactions. Pork products
are higher. Coffee is also stronger by
half cent. The condition Of. the great
industries is decidedly favorable.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the past
seven days, number for the United States
1S0; and for Canada twenty nine or a
total of 900, as compared with totals of
24O last week and 210 the week previous
to the last. For the corresponding week
of last year the figures were 295, repre-.
senting 237 failures in the United States
and fifty eight in the Dominion Of

Public opinion regards the speech as
alarming, and as indicating a purpose
on the part OF Germany to provoke war
