and Domestic.

NEW YORK. April 15.-The railway
and miscellaneous share market was
strong throughout. although the trading
was on a smaller scale than yesterday.
The transactions In stocks were 15O.Sis
shares, Of which s9,e0o were Sugar. 1900
Tobacco. and 12.0o0 st. Paul. Probably
the best feature OF the market was an
increased demand for railway Issues by
commission and foreign houses. The buy
ing by London firms was confined main
ly TO st. Paul and Louisville and Nash
vile, while local commission brokers
were moderate buyers OF the Changers,
Vanderbilts, and Consolidated Gas.
There was also some investment buying
OF railway mortgages, for both home and
foreign account. The advance In ster-
ling exchange had no influence on the
market, as 1t is believed that gold ex-
ports are not likely under existing con-
ditions. unless European bankers should
elect to pay an extra commission.
The gain In prices at one time was
equal to 1-4Gf1 5-S per cent. and was most
pronounced in Sugar. Lake Shore. Louis
Vile and Nashville, the Changers.
Western Union. Manhattan, CONSOLIDATE
ed Gas. and Big Four. Sugar sold up
to 123 rs, the highest yet reached. and
brokers with inside connections bought
1900 shares.
Tobacco sold at 71G6sd6S 3-S. ex-dlyi-
dend Of per cent. cash. and - per cent.
scrip. and at Sass 1-2ds2 IL cash. Last
night the stock In the regular way,
closed at 81. There was considerable
talk about enjoining the payment OF the
scrip dividend, but it was officially
stated that the company had not been
notified Of any suit about the matter.
General Electric was rather weak. and
closed fractionally lower on the day. The
annual report which is expected to-mor-
row, will show stated balance OF $780,
900. 1t is understood that no dividend
on the preferred will be paid at this
time.

TEMPLE OF FASHION FIRE.

Last night fire was discovered
coming out of the rear windows of
the Temple of Fashion building at
about II o'clock, by one of our po-
liceman. He gave the alarm by fir
ing his pistol, and soon the two fire
companies were on the ground with
three streams of water playing on
the flames. The fire started in
the rear OF the building in the sew
ing room, and before it was discov-
ed, had burnt large ,hole through
the floor and ceiling, filling the store
room full of smoke and shooting
blazes.
The ladies were sleeping in apart
ments up stairs, and the fright
given them caused them to scamp
er about in their night robes.
The firemen flooded the building
with water, and soon had the blaze
under control, but had to cut hole
through the tin roof in order to get
at the blaze between the upper
ceiling and tin covering. They did
good work and should receive their
mead of praise.
The building was insured for 81
200 and the stock of goods for $2,
900, The insurance on the stock
will not near cover it, is what we
heard several merchants say, who
are conversant with the price of
such goods as carried by Mrs.
ODonnell-had large, new stock.
The telephone general Office was
threatened at one time, and Gene
raj Manager Brown disconnected
the wires from the switch board,
and was fixed to move the COM
pany's property out.
The water company should be
complimented for having on a good
pressure. If we did not have the
water works here and the two fire
companies our city would have been
wiped out several times IN the last
half dozen years,
We are certainly sorry that Mrs.
O'Donnell has lost so heavily by
this fire, but hope she will soon re-
open the Temple of Fashion.

Senator Geo. G.. Vest of Missouri,
made a mastery speech in the Sen
ate yesterday. Mr.. Vest called up
the DINGHY bill, lin order to make
some rema rks about 1t. We find
this paragraph in the speech which
is question the Republican party
must answer by laws they may try
to pass: 1--WE are told" said he,
that with the election of Mckinley,
prosperity would food the land like
sunshine. Mckinley was elected,
but has the prosperity come? Will
the increased prosperity come with
your tariff bill adding more taxes to
be burden of the people and
heaping up more money in the
treasury Will that give the peo-
pie the resources to pay either for
eign or domestic goods2" The
speech was caustic one through
out, and caused many Senators to
rise to their feet and interrupt Mr..
Vest.
