ball pentrated the brain and he died almost

Normal College Building in Basic
Civ Burned,

About half past 10 o'clock on Wednesday
night, Nov. 10th, the Shenandoah Normal
College in Basic City, Prof. G. w. Hoenshel,
Principal, was discovered to be on fire. 1t was
large frame building of three stories and a
basement, and was wholly destroyed, with
most of the contents. The students lodged in
the building, and whilst they escaped, many
lost their trunks containing their clothes and
also their books. The building was the prop
erty of Basic City Mining, Manufacturing and
Land Company and was not insured.
1t is supposed that the fire originated from
the usual cause of fires, defective fue. The
furniture was the property of Prof. Hoenshel,
and it is reported. had been insured, but that
the insurance expired on the day preceding
the night of the fire, and that he applied to
the agent that afternoon to have it renewed,
but it was not done, as the agent said he had
not time then to attend to it. This will prob
ably lead to a law suit. The college will be
continued, houses having been rented for that
purpose.

COM MERCIAL And FINANCIALLY
THE GRAIN TRADE-CRoPs. &C.

The Cincinnati Price Current of Nov. 18th
says that considerable snow and rain have
fallen the past week in the West, proving ia
vorable to autumn sown grain. The reports
concerning the position of the growing wheat
| crop are little more encouraging. and as a
whole are not especially unsatisfactory, al
though the full breadth expected to be sown
has not been seeded 1t is quite likely, how
ever, that the area had not been reduced COM
pared with last year.
The movement of wheat toward winter grain
markets was further reduced quite decidedly
falling considerably below corresponding pc
riod last year. After fourteen consecutive
weeks of more liberal marketing of wheat at
these centers in comparison with the move
ment on the larger crop last year there has
now been two weeks of decrease. For the
period since July the receipts of wheat at
winter grain markets in the West have ex-
ceeded last years record 241 per cent.
AT the spring grain markets the receipts of
wheat were also decidedly reduced, and consid-
erably smaller than for corresponding period
last year. For these markets the receipts since
August show a gain of 81 per cent over cor
responding last year.
The movement of corn for the week was
very considerably reduced. This fact. how
ever does not go far toward strengthening the
market in view of the liberal supply of this
grain in sight. A moderate volume of receipts
is to be expected in the near future, there be-
ing disposition to restrict the offerings in the
interior at present prices.
The current light marketing of wheat at
winter grain markets and reduced recei pts at
spring wheat markets suggest close approach
to the maximum point in accumulation of
visible stocks, and probability of early change
to lessening supply in sight. The moderate
supply of contract grade wheat at the centers
may encourage something of manipulation
for December at Chicago.
The corn movement appears likely to con-
tinue of moderate volume in the near future,
but the supply in sight is larger than usual
for the time of year, and will probably be re-
garded as ample to preclude any well-defined
tendency to higher values.
The feat ure of the week was the Govern
ment report, in its statement concerning the
wheat crop. suggesting that a revision of acre
age would reduce the exhibit for the crop to
500, O0O, 900 bushels, or lower
