large consignments of wool for ship

Nevada supply will be greatly short of
what it was last season. Indications,

upwards; but on account Of the fire,
manufacturers, fearing fewer orders
from the West. are not ordering SO
heavily and this. in the opinion Of Mr..
Callahan, will havs the effect of bring

MODERN STEEL STRUCTURES.
Trip Through Fire-Swept Frfsca
Shows Their Superforfty.

Trip Through F~ire-Swept Frisco
Shows Their Superiority.
A trip through the burned districts of
San Francisco after the fire revealed a
scene of unspeakable desolation. From
many points on Market street, as far as
the eye could reach in any direction, there
was nothing but skeleton walls and smold-
ering ruins. 1t was. fire that wrought the
great devastation and wiped out the en-
tire business section and half the resi-
dence section of the city. The great mod
ern steel structures were practically un-
injured by the earthquake except for
cracked walls and displaced plaster. All
these great structures, of course, subse-
quently were utterly ruined by the flames
so far as the interior construction is con-
cerned, but the walls are in most cases
intact. The most notable cases of prac-
teal immunity from the shock were the
st. Francis hotel, the Fairmont hotel,
the Flood building, the Mills building,
the Spreckels building, the Chronicle
building, and scores of other modern steel
structures.
The branch of the United States mint
on Fifth street and the new postofice at
Seventh and Mission streets are striking
examples of the superiority of the work
manship put into federal buildings. The
United States mint building, surrounded
by a wide space of pavement, was abso-
lutely unframed. The new postofhce
building was also virtually unchanged by
fire. The earthquake did some damage
to the different entrances to the building,
but the walls were uninjured. Every win
dow pane, of course, was broken. The
Fairmont hotel, while damaged in the
interior, is left intact as to the walls.
