Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: , Washington. Nov. It).—The savings of forty-five years of active-service In the United States navy have been eaten lit by the expenses of the inquiry bj which Admiral W. S. Scldey hopes to clear his record as a navafCJBcer. Sine* the final adjournment of'tfcfpubllc «es slons of the eourt the admiral has been stay lug at the Arlington hotel, attempt ing to extricate himself from the iinan eial tangle caused by the inquiry. Ht has ended with his accounts, and' ht finds that every cent of the $20,000 which he had expected to leave to hit family in addition to all the prize money which he will get for his part in the Spanish-American war has been expended on the inquiry. A few months ago injury to the corn crop aroused fears that the railroads would be seriously handicapped by the loss of tonnnge, yet the season of grain traffic has not only failed to produce decreased earnings, but there is such a scarcity of rolllug stock and motive power that numerous industries are badly demoralized. In so far as these Interests are concerned the reduction in corn freight proves a blessing. Railway earnings In October were 11.3 per cent greater than last year and 21.2 per cent over 1890, while those roads reporting foe the first week of November show an average gain of 0.8 per cent.

Passaic, N. J., Nov. 16.—Fire did $20G/M)0 damage in the mill of the Pieecott Enamel Works here this morning. The Are was caused by spontaneous combustion. New Haven, Conn., Nov. 16.—A disastrous fire In one of the largest apartment bouses in the city, occupied ex-, cluslvely by Yale students, broke out just before noon today, when the city was filled with crowds of foot ball vlsfltora. It is estimated that the contents "I cannot say I wish I had it back,' said Admiral Schley, "but I do wlsb that I had the assurance now that 1 had a year ago that my wife would never come to want." With enormous velocity nearly 500 pounds of guncotton were thrown against a steel plate which, theoretically, it ought to have pulverized, but which actually It iiardly disturbed in its position anil upon the face of which It mude only a small dent. Yet the guncotton exploded when it struck the plate. No nil burned pieces of It could be found lying about. The full, enormous force contained in the bursting charge of the projectile evidently had been developed, but where and how It had dissipated Itself is a mystery. An official report of the lowest average yield of corn per acre was calculated to strengthen prices, but the phenomenal quotations already prevailing would seem to fully discount government figures. Foreign buyers have been driven out of„these markets, the week's exports from the Atlkntic coast amounting to only 585,944 bushels against 3,720,000 a year ago and 8,750,- 711 in 1809. Wheat rose to the best prices of the crop year, partly In sympathy with corn, for wiilch It is stiH freely substituted.
