The brigade made a lightning response, but owing to the dense smoke had great difficulty in locating and subduing the flames. The fire had started in the extreme east end of the building in the hallway dividing some four of the sample rooms, and for a‘, time it looked as though the fire was} destined to work out its own course} Two streams were laid on the Kent-std side and two in the rear, and when the key of the fire was discovered it was short work for the boys to wipe out the flames, but this was not accomplished un- til after the fine grocery store of Hurley and Brady and the mammoth clothingt house of Gough Bros, were deluged with water and their respective stocks more or less damaged. The appraisers are busy at work estimating their IOSSes, which are certainly very heavy. The Benson house, in which the fire originated. it is supposed from a stove in the hall- way, has sufi'ered the least of all, only the interior of the hall and the ceiling having sufi'ered to any extent. Contractor White has a stafi‘ of men on hand to-day and purposes completing the repairs this week. Braund’s fair sutlered slightly from the fire as also did Miss O’Brien’s stock of millinery. Mr. Chas. Bartlett’s shop and residence also came in for their full share of water and smoke. The travellers were kept hustling to save their Samples. some of which were badly wrecked. Mr. A. A. Mark, traveller for J. D. King, had a full line of boots and shoes. which were badly damaged. Mr. C. H. Kelk, traveller for Walter 00., importers of fancy goods and cutlery. saved about $300 worth of samples out of a 81200 display. Mr. J. A. Ross. of Coverhill Kissich, silks laces and millin- ery, was more fortunate, however, and escaped with very little damage. The difi'ereut losses are all fullv covered by insurance, with the exception of the traveller’s samples. The firemen worked like heroes and in two or three cases were almost stifle-:1 by the dense smoke. The water pressure was neverbetter,and it was impossible for the flames to make head- way under its telling caresses. A BUNGLING INCENDIARY. Early on Tuesday morning, people who ‘ gathered to view the late fire were aston- ished to leam that during the night an. other bungling attempt had been made to start another fire. This time it was in was shunt from hdme on a. visit to Scottland at the time. The fire 18 suppos- ed to have originated from a. defective chimney. Loss partzafly covered by Mi. Win McKay.

The cattle trade was in a curious condi- tion on Tuesday morning; there was a better local demand, and for the best stuff prices were firmer; in fact, in one or two cases 4c was paid for picked lots, and 3} to 3} was the range for choice. Medium and poor cattle were occasionally steady, but seemed to weaken towards? mid-day. and while buyers declared prices were maintained, drovers would have it ‘that values were two or three dollars a There were 41 loads at the Western cattle yards on Tuesday morning. The quality of the cattle here was very poor, and out of the entire offerings it would have been difficult to collect a load that could fairly be called choice. Buyers were here from Montreal and Hamilton, and the Montreal men declared they paid more in Toronto than they had been selling for in the East. Owing to recent light runs of stuff we had a fair demand, and anything worth purchasing was sold before noon. -â€"A letter from Mr. Harry Argue. form’ erly of J anetville, but now of Redlands.
