flour, which decreased LOO, 600 bushels be-
tween January 1st and February LIST, 1898
only decreased 100000 bushels in the sim-
liar time this year. That statement was
a surprise to the trade, as the reverse OF
such result of supply and consumption this
year compared with last had been gener-
ally expected. The later cables showed re-
covery in the English market. Explana-
tions from the other side hinted at special
complications which might result in a
scratch of war. This became factor IN
the market. The heavy northwest receipts
of 352 cars were offset by the flour sales
of 5000 barrels, and the talk of mills pay
ing May price for wheat. and the prices
then started to mend. After the recovery
was fairly started the market got bulls
help. Central Illinois points sent COM
plants of a serious nature. New York re-
buying ON the foreign war talk before mid
day cut the May price to i712 1t reacted to

CHATTANOOGA, April S.-Tne Richardson
building, the largest in Chattanooga, and one
of the largest in the south, was totally de-
stroyed by fire between $3.50 and 6 o'clock
this morning. Fire caught from the furnace
in the basement and ran up the elevator
shafe. The Waterman was slow in turning
In an alarm, and when the fire companies
arrived the building was a mass of flames.
The Waterman warned a number of men
sleeping on the sixth floor, and all sue
ceeded III getting out except two. These
were Boyd Ewing, one Of the wealthiest
men in this section, and S. NJ. Patton, one
OF the most prominent architects in the
south. Mr.. Ewing attempted to climb down
the fire escape, but fell from the top. His
body was badly mutilated. Patton was cut
off from escape on the stairs, and his body
is still in the ruins. About 100 offices and
four stores were In the building. The
total loss amounts to about $500, 600, with
insurance of about $31, 900. A large force
Is now at work searching for Patton's re-
mains, but 1t may be several days before
they are found. Nothing was saved from
the building, as the fire burned with start
ing rapidity. The loss on contents is dis
trlbuted among about 100 people. A two
tory building adjoining was also totally de-
stroyed.
The Third National bank across the street
was badly damaged. Among the heaviest
losers are the American Investment COM
pany, owners Of the building and a large
part or the contents; r. c.. Kingley & Co.
merchants, and Chattanooga National Build
ing and Loan association. Nearly ali the
lawyers In this city had offices in the build
ing and many valuable papers which cam
not be replaced were burned. Frank Car

some papers from his office In the Third
National building, fell from a ladder and was

CATTLE-About the usual Saturdays
receipts were in the yards today, and the
market was largely of that Indifferent
character frequently noticeable at the END
OF the week.
Beef steers sold at barely steady prices,
| possibly a little easier, and while the de-
mand was not very urgent or the trade
particularly brisk, the offerings were mostly
all taken in good season. There were
| some pretty fair beeves here, the bulk
selling at $i.25dl.45, with a top at Si.6o.
Cows and heifers sold at about the same
old prices. The demand was fair and the
receipts light.
Not enough stockers and feeders were
offered on the market to cut much figure
in the trade. The few here sold at about
steady prices.
Large marketings of habitat or unfin-
iSied beef steers continue a leading Tea
turo of the trade in beef cattle. During
the past week the market was generally
favorable to selling interests. The expected
large receipts did not materialize, while the
demand proved to be of very liberal pro-
portions, a combination of circumstances
to tho advantage of sellers. On most days
the trade was brisk and the general ten
dency of the market up to the last two
days of the week was upward. Butchers
stock was in active demand all the week
and desirable cows and heifers were free
sellers. Stockers and feeders sold at eX-
IRENE high prices. and the demand was
fully equal to arrivals, SO that the yards
were kept well cleared. Representative

From that portion OF tne TepOIl utdiliit

detect with considerable accuracy the ac-
tual condition of business In diiterent locai-
tiles of the country. AS the financial de
nression of three years ago made Itself first
felt In the large eastern cities and tnen
gradually spread westward, 1t is only nat
,iiral to look to the same quarter for the
first signs of returning prosperity.
The FOREGOING figures woulu seem TO IN
and that the oft-repeated assertion that
times are better in eastern cities Is baseo
on solid facts. Thus in the above table II
appears that the loans and discounts Of the
Boston banks have Increased almost SlS'oVV'

Pittsburg and Detroit show gains, while
Omaha, st. Paul, Minneapolis and Milwau-

have not fallen off to any such extent as
the discounts, but both are much lower than
before the panic in 1893, when. the large
business connected with the Worlds fair
swelled the accounts.
LOCAL MARKETS.
The past week has witnessed a very fair
business doing in the local live stock mar
ket. Prices for all kinds of live stock have
been very satisfactory, viewed from a
sellers standpoint. with a tendency toward
q higher level of values.
The demand on the part of local packing
houses as well as shippers has been brisk.
so that not only have values been well
maintained but the movement of stock
has been active and arrivals have met with
prompt sale, a condition gratifying to all
interests concerned.
A very encouraging feature of the situa-
ton is that business Is running away ahead
OF last year. For the three months past
