The I situation which has prevailed during tin year gives way hut slowly to increased confidence, the more slowly because of a few failures in woolens at Philadelphia ami In leather ami sho"; In the East, Yet 1 the soundness of the commercial situation j is generally recognized, and the hesitation which remains is rightly attributed mainly t > uncertainties regardins th? den and for gold from Europe and the financial situation there. Hence dispatches announcing the settlement of difficulties which have been hanging ovet the London market, and which were supposed to affect one or more houses having large interests In this country, are r Warded with satisfaction. While gold continueto leave England for Russia the banking institutions of Western Europe are well supplied, and In this country treasury dis- . bursements have been enormous. The one point of danger Is still tlie exceedingly strained condition of credits abroad on account of past disastrous speculations. MARKET KEPUKTS. _ CHICAGO.

The following additional particulars of the flood at Cherokee were received this morning: Tho wagon bridge over the Sioux south of the town went .out about 10 o’clock Tuesday night. This j was followed by all the houses on the ; flat in that part of tho town, numbering ! over one hundred. The number of people driven from their homes was between j twelve and fifteen hundred. The river continued to rise until 3 o’clock, at that time being ten feet higher than was ever before known. The destruction of property alone in Cherokee' is about $200,< 00. B -sides, almost all of the stock past -red along the Sioux were < arried away by tho flood, only a few animals being saved as they came down the river.

The Sioux River-is subsiding. but it is -till forty feet deep, and covers a quarter of a mile of country. The average depth of the river when in its channel is about four feet The work of clearing away the debris is now in progress, and aid is 1 eing rendered i tho unfortunate inhabitants. The town of Moville is still flooded and not one of tho 200 inhabitants is able to occupy his house, and all are camping out. There is only 250 pounds of flour in the town. The town is almost completely cut offc from succor. Hundreds of horses and, other live stock out in the fields in theZ valley were fearfully lacerated by th^ barbed wires carried down by the swol - len torrent, in which the beasts become entangled. The damage at Cherokee is estimated at over $500,000. The river fell about ten feet, but was still twenty feet above low water mark.

From Storm Lake to Cherokee the I country resembled one vast Jake almost ! as far as the eye could reach in every direction. Only water was visible, while debris of destroyed buildings, bodies of hor-es and cattle and other farm animals floated past Cherokee in large numbers. » Most of them were still struggling to escape, but the rush of the torrents prevented their reaching dry land. The farmers along the lino suffered very much. One farmer living south of Cherokee stated that over 200 catt’e are missing from his pasture, and he expects all are drowned. The merchants ir tho small towns have had their stores urdermined, the basements filled with water, and in many instances the water has come on the first floors and damaged their goods extensively. At Cherokee seventy-five to one hundred houses are destroyed and many of them have been swept away. The gravel train which was in the p t at Cheiokee is buried out of sight, the cnly portion of it that is visible being the top of the smokestack of the steam shovel. Superintendent Gikas reports that the damage to the Illinois Central track already in sight will foot up §200,000, and but Lttle is yet known of the condition of two branches from Cherokee The water fell about ten feet at Cherokee, and many o cupants of houses in the flooded district were able to regain entrance to day. The ruin wrought made many a heart sick. Where the houses were not destroyed their contents are all covered with thick, black mud, ruining them. Three hundred poor people in Cherokee are being fed and clothed by the relief committee, and a dispatch from there says outside aid will have to be ask< d. A. W. Thesher, a mail-clerk on a Milwaukee and St. Paul train that was water-bound, at Hornick, thus relates his experience: “Between Hornick and Hedge's Siding the track is out in many—A

places, and so great was the force of the water that the rails were carried far , from the roadbed. I got hungry, as did 1 all the passengers.- Our rations were rather slim, and so I made up my mind to.come to Sioux City. I put my letter mail in a pouch together with my clothing and started to wade. I -waded ■' through fully a mile and a half of water between Hornick and Hedge's, and in many places it was up to my neck. At Hedge's I caught a construction train 1 and rode into Sioux City. “The low lands are covered with water as far as you'can see. Field after field is submerged, and all over the fats the water is from one to four feet deep in the first floors of houses. Iha farmers have moved out to the high ground in nearly all instances. “I saw farmers wading in the water up to their waists pushing rafts, on 'which were loaded their fa । Hies and household goods, ahead of them to the high land.

One farn er at Hornick, whose house was flooded, pushed a big In g trough ahead ! of him in which his wife holding her 1 baby was seated He was making for the high ground near our train. ” In a single day 7.'.0 >0 shad were caught in the Delaware River as a result of the ' hatching jar and its appliances. There 1 has been a rapid increase in numbers during the past three years.
