There was a previous depression on some rumors of & Jarge mew external loan at a Jow price. The Boax of the Magvar raid into Roumania having been exposed, Hungarian stoeks recovered con- sideravly, but the Austrian bourses were early in the week effected by a banking failure. En- glish securities have advanced. «The continued fine weather has given the markets ¥ A CHEERFUL APPEARANCE. The Russian victory is taken 15 increasing the chances of peace, and serves the purpose of operators for the rise, attention being at the moment directed rather to political than finau- cial considerations. Bearing in the speculative markets remains difficult in large amounts, and the invesument business does not improve. United States governments ave risen azain, as they bad previously fallen in obedience to tne state of the money market, but to-day they lost ground on the publication of a telegram an- nouncing that the report of the Silver Commis- sion favors 4 double currency, but this appar- cutly is a mere repetition of the report we re- marked upon in our issue of March 31 last “We quote three months’ bills at 3¢; four months bills at 43 six months' bills ut 3¢5 and stort loans at 3% per cent. Silver is ‘quoted to-day at 55d. per onnee.” THE TIMES in its Bnancial column says as the German Gov- ernment refuses to sell silver at existing ratcs, the supplies are_very small.

EvaxsTo, Iil,, Oct. 20.—The South Evanston depot burned to the ground this afternoon. It was one of the finest structures of the kind on the Milwaukee Division of the Northwestem Road, and in its destruction the village sustaios a grievous loss. It was built about foor yeus avo by subscription from the citizens, costing $3.000, and was wiven to the railroad company. It was a two-story frame building. unique and artistic in desizm. The origin of the fire is u- Known, but is supposed to have beeninade- fective fue. Tt was discovered at precisely 3 oclock, enwrapped the untire building in less than ten minutes, and accom- plished_its destruction in less than an hour. The principal business block of the village, which was separated from the depot by a cours less than twenty feet wide, was saved only by the most arduous labor of the citizens and the favorable circumstance that the wind blew directly from it. It sustained a serious damage, however, and for two hours was expected to be destroyed. [t was built by Warren, Keeoey & Co. about five years azo for $20,000. and i~ sured for $10,000. It contaiud the Post-Olfice, the sole grocery store and meat market ot:the villaze, kept by Blackler & Easton, and the shoe-store. It was found necessary to move the contents of the whole building into the street.
