der OF George B. Eyre, the Commonw. alt

racity of Mary C0waa would be attacked

by fire to-day while lying at Simp-
sons wharf here. 1t is believed

Colburn. The fire was discovered
aboard the Delaware at 2 o'clock
this morning, and in half an hour
the vessel was mass of ruins.
The volunteer fremen had great
difficulty in saving the three masted
schooner Ella K. Simpson, which
was moored within so feet. The
steamer was valued at $4,000 and
insured for $25. 900. W. NJ. INWARD

any result"

THE TRADE SITUATION.
The Favorable and the UnfavoraBIs
Features.

New York, July 27.-Bradstreets to-
morrow win say:
Important changes in trade and specu-
lation are notably lacking this week, but
counter current Of demand in various sec
tions and Industries lend rather more
than usually Irregular appearance to the
general situation. Among the favorable
features calling for notice are the practi-
cal assurance of an immense corn crop by
the recent copious rains in the further
west. the continued cheerful reports from
the sections which have gathered and are
now marketing a large winter wheat
crop, adYices of continued improvement
in tone in the northwest, with reports Of
renewals Of earlier cancelled orders for
fall goods, fairly satisfactory gains IN
gross railway earnings, less weakness in
prices of the countries leading cereal pro
ducts, based apparently on renewed buy
ing for export and rather more inquiry
for raw wool by manufa cturers.
Unfavorable elements in trade probably
find their chief and greatest exposition in
the iron and steel business. That industry
is, if possible, more depressed than at any
time for three years past. Among other
metals. tin is locally lower on freer ar
rivals, after touching the highest price in
twenty seven years. Trade in dry goods
at the east particularly seems backward
regarding cleared realization of the cot
ton goods situation.
Bank clearings are the smallest for
many weeks, the lightest in fact with one
exception, since February aggregatin
only 81. 387, 1856, 44O, a decrease OF nine per
cent from last week and of ten per cent
from this week year ago Business fall
ures number 1873 as compared with s02
last week, ITO in this week year ago.
