EASY PREY FOR THE FLAMES
Big Seven-Story Structure at Detroit
Entirely Consumed by
Fire.

DETROIT, JUNE 11.-Fire early today de-
stroyed the Case Power building on Con-
gress street, west, with all its contents, and
imminently threatened and in some cases
damaged some of the finest business
structures in the city. The total damage
will be upwards of 5000, 600. 1t is not be-
lieved that the insurance will exceed two
thirds of the loss. Six iremen were
severely burned and cut by glass. They are:
Lieutenant NJ. j.. Sheehan of engine COM
pany No. 6, Henry Fisher, Joseph Hockaday,
Thomas Kennedy, James T. Kenyon and
Edward Simmons, fremen. All will re-
cover.
The fire was discovered at 3 o'clock, hav-
ing originated on the fourth floor in the dry
ing room of the Davidson Pipe and Novelty
company, around some ovens used for en-
ameling purposes. 1t spread with ex-
traordinary rapidity and at 5 o'clock the
structure was in ruins. The interior
construction of the seven-story building was
almost entirely OF wood and furnished easy
food for the flames. The building across
the alley in the rear and on the opposite
side of Congress street we're for a time en-
dangered, but by rapid work We're saved
excepting that the spire of old St. Pauls
Episcopal church at Congress and Shelby
streets was partially burned and the front
of the Wayne County Savings bank build
ing slightly damaged.
Buildings to the eastward OF the burning
structure were threatened still more, as the
| prevailing wind caused them to be enveloped
in a steady shower of sparks and firebrands,
Some woodwork on the sixth and seventh
floors of the Union Trust building caught
fire. but it was soon extinguished. The Bull
building suffered worse. It's four-story and
basement annex, which faces Congress
street, got afre from the debris waited upon
the roof. The upper stories of his building
| were burned and the lower stories flooded
Various old buildings, west Of the Case
building on Congress and Shelby streets,
suffered comparatively little, excepting that
one two story shop was crushed by the fall
of portions of the Case walls.
The main part of the Case building was
new. but adjoining, separated by a fire wall,
was a four-story annex. Several people were
| asleep in that side Of the building, but all
were gotten out quickly and safely. George
F. Case valued his BUILDING at 800, 900. II
is insured for something over half that
| value. The loss on machinery and contents
owned by tenants is estimated at about
5000, 600. the largest being the Wheeler bicy-
Gle Saddle company, $40. 600. The occupants
were the following: Morrison Printing com
pany, Babbitt & Graham, hosiery; Davidson
Pipe and Novelty company. Parish & Bro.

Shippers who have visited the yards this
week from widely separated sections re

next to impossible, and 1t would seem quite
remarkable under such circumstances that
receipts have held up SO we'll. 1t will be
noted from the comparative statement of
the receipts by. weeks given above that
the arrivals OF both cattle and hogs have
been large this week. Another circum-
stance that would naturally be expected
TO Keep. back shipments OF hogs Is the fact
that prices have been decidedly lower, but
still the hogs have kept coming.
.CATTLE-Omaha had about all the cattle
that were on sale today, there not being

at this point, however. were none too many
to supply all the demands of the buyers
and the market as a whole was in very fair
shape.
Desirable beef steers sold quite readily
at Just about steady prices and everything
up in good season. The less desirable
kinds were a little slow and still practically
been doing a little better this week and
values have gradually worked upward

this morning and the yards were soon
cleared, but cow stun was If anything
easier. The COW market has been on the
down grade all this week, as has been
frequently remarked before In this column.
The loss for the week can safely be put at
2Cd25c, and there are some who would call
1t still more. Buyers took it into their
heads that the cow market was too high
and they have been on the bear side all
the week. Still 1t is hardly reasonable to
expect COW stuff to sell down very much as
It is generally admitted that supplies are
light in the country and that good breed
ing stock cannot be had at any price.
Moreover 1t is still some time before grass
butchers stock is likely to show up in
sufficient numbers 20 materially affect the
market. Texas grass cattle are moving,
but those received by the packers here
this week are reported as not being nearly
so fat as the cattle We're last year.
Stockers and feeders have been in good
demand all the week. but very light supply.
Under such conditions there was no danger
of values declining any and 1t may be said
that good light stockers are selling as high
as at any time. Representative sales:
