TRoLLEY-cAR COLLISION.

Both Moternen Killed and Several
Others Injured.
Baltimore, Nov. 23.-Because Theo-
dore R. Myrick, a motorman in the
employ of the Baltimore q Northern
railway, disobeyed orders, the officers
of that road say, there was a frightful
head-end collision this morning on the
line, in which Myrick was killed and
w. F. Horner, motorman on the car
which was going in the opposite direc-
ton, received injuries from which he
died about half an hour later. The
two conductors and passengers who
were on both cars were more or less in
jured, although the injuries of none OF
them are supposed to be dangerous.
Those seriously hurt are:
Conductor Thomas Ewing, aged S8,
and Charles Snowden, colored. aged 20
years. Ewing is suffering from a
slight conclusion of the brain, and is
badly bruised on the head, face and
body. Snowden's cheek was lacerated
by broken glass, and he received several
cuts on the head. His chin was cut to
the bone, and there is deep cash in
his neck. Both of these men are at the
hospital, and both will recover, unless
complications develop.

|. EdmOnstOn, n. b.
Washington, Nov. 23.-For what Is
believed to be the first time in the his
tory of this government, a woman is
acting as one of it's representatives
abroad. Secretary Sherman has APP
proved the request of J. Adolph Guy,
consular agent Of the United States at
Edmonston, N. B., for two weeks leave
of absence. and appointed Emma Hart
to act as consular agent during his abb
sence.
Miss Hart will probably have little
business to do during her term of office.
1t is said at the state department that
if she takes in more than $40 the off,
Gals will believe the natural gallantry
of New Brunswickians has caused them
to abandon other agencies and consul
ates and secure the service of Miss
Hart in transacting their business.

ger, J. D. Milton, was injured, but not
seriously. -Four cars loaded with or

oard al Trade Brokers, 711-714 Chamber OF COM
merce Building, Portland, Oregon.l
No decided changes have occurred in
wheat values during the week. The
market has been principally noted for
the absence of general speculation and
the presence Of several arguments that
apparently warrant an advance. Crop
advices in America, while showing an
improvement in condition of the grow
ing crop, most certainly indicate de-
creased area seeded. The news from
the Argentine crop has been sensation
al. General frosts have occurred. but
the extent of the damage, IT any, is
only matter of conjecture. The exact
facts cannot be ascertained for some
time yet. Reports from Russia assert
the rye crop to be very short and the
oat crop poor. The export demand con-
tinues undated, and in excess OF our
weekly surplus. It is a matter OF re-
cent history that export countries are
liable to sell more than their available
surplus of breadstuffs and be forced to
become importers. This is evidenced
in the case of Australia and the Argen-
tine during the past year, and should
our export clearances continue at the
present rate it is entirely possible that
American supplies may be likewise ex-
hausted. Receipts at primary points
are large, compared with last year, and
visible stocks continue to increase.
When the high values are taken into
consideration together with the large
crop produced last year, it is matter
of surprise that the primary receipts
are not much larger. Advices from
the northwest indicate that the move
ment from first hands is decreasing.
Export clearances of wheat and -four
for the week were 6,653, 791 bushels.
Large sales for export have been made
during the week, partly the result OF
apprehended damage to the Argentine
crop.
The local speculative condition of the
wheat market is very unsatisfactory.
There is an absence Of general specula-
tive interest due partly to high values,
but more particularly to the small
stocks and the presence of more or less
manipulation in the market. A large
short. interest exists entirely out of pro-
portion to existing stocks. There is
nothing in the general situation to war
rant any decline. The result of the
Argentine crop seems to be the determ-
lining factor regarding future values.
Until the result is definitely known it
seems that present values will be fully
maintained and probably advanced.
There has been a decided improve
ment in the cash demand for corn,
both for Eastern account and for ex-
port. The government report, estimat-
ing the crop yield at 1882, 900, 900
bushels, is not credited by the trade
and entirely unwarranted according to
private advices.
