than usual and blocked with heavy
ice at the upper bridge and hall
mile further up.
There is fleet of forty odd vessels
in the river. and all have taken pre-.
cautions TO keep from being carried
down stream. If the gorge now
formed above the iron bridge gives

OF other places, no further damage is
feared. Around Muir thousands of
acres in Grand river valley are still
paved with jams of ice from one TO six

New YORK, March 14.-American

exchange today The price opened at
LOB, rose to O3 3-4, then under steady
outpouring of long stock dropped to
95 7-S. A story was current yesterday

ty to reiterate the favorable state
ments in regard to tine prosperous
financial condition of the property.
This did not allay the apprehension
felt by small holders, however, and
the pressure continued right up to the

day that all negotiations looking to q
settlement of the strike have been
broken Off and that the end is again
as far off as ever. 1t Ia almost incred.
ible that Liverpool merchants could
have been 80 deceived into believing
that nothing but few legal details
remained to be arranged today before
the actual starting of the mills, and
we think our British cousin would do
well to look at the beam In his own
eye before again charging Americans
with wiliul misrepresentation of facts
regarding The size of the crop, charges
which they have been banded almost
without scruple during the past two
years. But let US brush recrimina-
tions aside and look at the situation
fairly and squarely. The strike is not
settled and it would now seem proba.
BILE that the mills will not start up un.
til after the Easter hold ys, say three
weeks hence. II this premise prove
true then we cannot look for any &C.
