IMPORTANT HAPPENINGS OF THE DAY TOED BY TELEGRAPH. Foreign and Domestic Intelligence Transmitted by Wire —A Kaleidoscope of Interesting Occurrences—Political, Criminal, Accidental, and Industrial.

Dun & Co. say: It can hardly he said that business improved during the week, und the accounts from interior points almost uniformly represent trado as rather quiet, or at least fair. The clearing house reports continue to show gains over last year at a ma ority of cities, hut the number falling behind is larger than it has been of late. At C hicago and other Western points grain speculation inflated bank transactions. General confidence in the future continues unabated. The net earnings over operating expenses on 127 railroads for 1881 amounted to $z35,145,066, as against 8258,972,020 in 1887, showing a loss of about 9 per cent, for the year, of which the greater part was on Northwestern railroads. The coal market is glutted by excessive production, in spite of the tdct that consumption in .January appeal's to have been 2,4:57,371 tons, against 2,291,501 last, year. In breadstuff s there was a stronger rnsrket, with tho usual lack of definite reason. Atlantic exports do not improve, an 1 corn goes to Europe in great quantities in place of wheat, while the exports of wheat from the Pacific ports ure remarkably large. But wheat advanced 2Sb cents during ttie week, without change in com. while tats declined a quarter. Pork is steady and lard stronger, while hops are weaker, each by 15 cents per 100 pounds. Cotton advanced an eighth. C ilfee is a quarter stronger, and oil nearly a cent lower. The general average of prices for commodities declined and lost more than the entire advance early in February. Interior cities a 1 report money in ample supply, and nearly ail report collections slow, or somewhat backward. The monetary prospect is at least as favorable as it has been at any time this year. Business failures uumbored for the United States 229 and for Canxda 41. WRECKED BY A BROKEN KAIL. Some Thirty Passengers Injured on a Pennsylvania Road.
