JACKKOXVIM.E. Ha., Sept.

St. AllKUHtllH

Advices were received from St. Augustine which had been cut off since Tuesday. No lives were lost, but several houses were wrecked and the losses will run far into the thousands. Nearly all the windows in the city were blown in and the houses Hooded with water. The Ponce de Loon hotel was damaged in this way. The loss on the hotel's furniture is heavy. The waves dashed over the sea wall ami made rivers of the streets. Many wharves were blown away.

Orange* TIRO WE rii IOAO.

"Between (ireen Cove spring and Palatka, on the St. Johns, twelve wharves have disappeared. He twee Jacksonville and St. Augustine not a telegraph pole was left standing.

The east coast is still cut off from communication below St. Augustine and Palatka. hvety effort is being made to hear irom Jupiter and Key W est, which are supposed to have been in the storm center. The stortt ,vas as severe in the interior of the state as on lie coast.

RETURN TO WORK.

Miner* at MnssiUion. O.. !rido to Knd Their Striko.

MASSII.I.OX, O., Sept. 20.—At8 o'clock Friday morning conventions of both the miners and operators of the M&ssillon district adopted resolutions declaring their willingness to place tho questions at issue in the hands of a local arbitration committee, to be selected in the ordinary manner, and to resume work in the mines at once, pending* the results of arbitration. Everybody is jubilant over the settlement of the strike, which has lasted five months. The main question at issue is a differential scale of 11 fteen cents per ton, which, up to last May, was allowed to Massillon miners on account of thinness of veins and difficulty of mining. This differential was abolished by the operators last spring, and the strike resulted. Most of the Massillon strikers are Americans. They are industrious and thrifty and own their homes.

Ni'« I limine** Maek«mlng.

hvtdcnre nt eont limed improvement In vrholoRule trade and tnatiulaciure does not HPIHHU this week. There is large distribution on orders Riven some time at o, but new business proing to the manufacturers is everywhere slackening. The completion of orders for replenishment of stocks leaves a narrower demand and it is vet too early for consumption to provide further orders.

I'nprceeileuleri Keeords,

The depression in prices of farm products will have some infiueueo. Unprecedented records have been made in cotton and wheat, though as to wheat only in contracts for future delivery in which the prices are the lowest ever made. The available stocks arc about iMfcHMKM) bushels greater than a yeai ftfc'o. and western receipts for the week were 6.252,7It} bushels, against 6.H1,034 last year, and fciuce August 1. ooo.i.wo bushels, against 8S.OUO,OUO last year.

Price of Corn Falls.

Jt is encouraging that the speculation ii corn has broken and th»* price has fallen tlvf cents, le.ss gloomy estimates than those of thr department having gained general acceptance. It is now supposed that the vkdd is not fat from l.ftOO.QW.iioO bushels, whi.-h will compel much economy in feeding, but speculation in pork baa also broken, and tho price ha& fallen 75 cents, while lard has declined half a cent.

ailures.

Failures are few ami small for the week linbilities amounting to $5.27*.1*5, of which were of 'manufacturing and $5,575,11', of trading concerns. The failures during the week have been -H5 in the United States against 384 lust year, and 65 in Canada, against 83 last year. liradst reet's lteport.

ltradstivet's report, is as follows: The feature of general trade throughout the country is fouud in moderate reactions within the week, more particularly in the volume ol purchases of staples west, where trad»» has been rjtiite active, ami at eastern points in the course of prices, the week failing to show any upward movement of note In this line and in the cheek to busiuess bouth. together with damage to the rice and orange crops. Leading jobbers at distributing points, which for a month past have reported relatively most favorably concerning the course of business, send modified advices as to activity.

What Sal«s Show.

Wheat has made another "lowest price," and corn and oats have declined. .Sugar anc. oofle*: record lower figures, and another lowest price for cotton has had an unfavorable influence on tho tone of business at important southern markets, particularly in view of activity of receipts of that staple. Hessetner pig iron sales show a loss of U5 cents and steel billets almost as much. Standard brands of forge iron, west and south, show like depressions. and tho trade admits production has exceeded consumption. The conspicuously irregular price is for lumber, it being fairly active but low at Minneapolis, but .stiffer at St. Louis in contrast with advices from Chicago and elsewhere. Leather is fairly firm, ami in distribution dry goods, shoes, millinery and notions lead.

Trade In Canada.

Trade reports from leading centers in the Doiiiiniou of Canada teliof trade improvement. Jobbors at Toronto report business equal lo expectations, particularly in dry goody and hardware. X:

It is probable that rioting will begin soon again, the English and Italians, the English especially, lieiny suspected of favoring- the royalists. Then Peixot.o will declare that in order to protect the lives of foreigners he is forced to declarel martia law.

The British minister has asked for a guard at the legation and residence. This was granted hiin by Nascimiento by order of l'eixoto. The ltritish legation is crowded with refugees, who, although promised protection by the authorities, are afraid to go ou the streets.
