Water Atop Fish Wharf.

The water In the Potomac river at
o'clock yesterday afternoon was on a
level with most Of the wharves ana on
top Of the fish wharf an inch or two, but
not high enough to cause extensive dam
age. In the James Creek canal the water
was level with the banks, except near
its entrance, where 1t extended some little
distance over the land, but caused no
trouble.
All the low lands along the Eastern
branch and on the Virginia side Of the
river were under water the greater part
of the day. At dark last night. about
two hours before low water time. the
tide had dropped off several inches and
was falling with considerable rapidity.
Much Damage at Alexandria.
The storm damaged property along the
Alexandria water front to the extent
Of several thousand dollars. Coal was
washed into the river from the piers
of a number of dealers. while the stiff
|northeaster damaged many small craft
some being almost completely demol
ished.
With the water higher at noon yes
terday than it had been in recent years,
merchants Of Alexandria became ap-
prehensive and kept forces of employees
of safety. Many of them remained at
their places Of business until after mid
night.
Incomplete reports received from points
on the river below Alexandria indicate
that many small places were inundated.

CHICAGO har,e Market.

Chicago. Oct so.-Trade for COM
merc:al horses IS somewhat retarded
lately due 70 inert business conditions
generally. For weeks past local de-
mand for horses has been very small,
only few wagon and eSpressers hav-
ing any call. This season Of the year,
as rule. is time when demand from
all sources picks up and horses make
good clearance. This year the rule did
not hold good. and for many weeks
trade was in serni-demoralized state.
Now. when receipts are becoming
mere moderate, a little better feeling is
beginning TO show for the choice
horses Heavy weight kinds that pos
sess quality are wanted. but the com
moner grades. which are plentiful are
clearing very slowly. Army buyers
have again taken place on the local
market and are taking a class Of horses
for use in the artillery. This grade is
one that is hard to pass inspection. and
not many OF the type ara being sent
,narketward al present. For riders and
( heavier grades for logge-s buyers have
paid si00d175 for some they have
taken for shipment.
