flames had eaten their way to the top
of the building, and were bursting
through the roof when the Alarm WAS
given and the inmates aroused. Wild
scenes of excitement ensued. Many of
the dodgers became panic-stricken.
They rushed into the halls and fell
over each other in their efforts to reach
the streets. Those on the lower floors
got to the streets safely by the stair
ways, while those on the upper floors
CROPPED their way through the blindlng
smoke to the fire escape in front OF the
building. a majority OF them saved
only portions OF their clothing, while
several OF them We're naked. Those
who made their way to the streets by
the fire escapes were superiiclally
burned by the excessive heat of the
iron ladders, which in many places had
become rcdhot from the flames within.

1t is thought the dies were not made

The impression prevails among the

Michacls, and a company is about to be
formed oi Oregon and California capt.
talsts to operate the mine. This dis
covcry will be of vast importance to
the river interests, as coal dcpots will
be established at various points along
the river so that steamers can depend
on getting supply of fuel at intervals
of 300 or 400 miles. The promoters &
tie scheme say they can mine and
transport coal to st. Mchacls and in

which they say will reduce present
fuel bills over 300 per cent. The mine
is close to the river bank, so that coal

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.,
Trade Conditions in the Leading Cities
of the World.

The wheat traders are kept busy
these days watching Letter and Ar
mour, and are unable to see their way
clearly i'll MAY. They have given up
fighting Letter, and if he is to have
any scrimmage it will be with Armour.
The latter has been buying in the
Northwest and Southwest, and will
bring 800 cars of wheat from the North
west to Chicago. Last week he was
the seller of May. There was also
liquidation by holders here and in the
Northwest, the latter being closely
identified with Armour. Shorts in the
Northwest have been covering, some
large lines having been taken. No one
but seal pers has the tomerity to sell
May short, and they do not stand long,
as they know that Letter controls it,
and can put the price where he desires.
The attention of the trade is attracted
to the July and September. There is a
disposition to discount the effects OF a
possible large crop here and in Europe
this year by selling the new crop
futures at the wide difference under
May. Those who have been bulls on
May, if they are in the market at all,
are selling July and September. The
former has the preference, but there is
more risk in selling it, owing to tho
crop uncertainties. Some traders on
July at 9Oc think that September at
1Sc is about on right basis. On tho
other hand some very good traders
who have been and are still long OH
May are bearish on September and be-
lieve it should be sold on all bulges.
They are afraid of the short side Of
July, but think the September a safe
sale at 12c under the July. No one is
selling May wheat now except Armour
and those who have case stuff to de-
liver. The shorts are getting out, and
the market is narrowing so that tho
speculative shortage by the first OF May
Is liable to be very small. Those who
have the wheat bought will get the
cash stuff in May. As Chicago is the
highest market in the country, May
wheat here being &c over New York
and Baltimore, 43ic over st. Louis,
6 3-Sc over Toledo, 634c over cash
wheat in Minneapolis and Duluth, it is
natural that wheat should be drawn
from other than the regular sections
and shipped to this market.
