The Tenny knitting mill at North Amherst owned by Leonard Nason was destroyed by fire Friday morning along with all machinery. Loss estimated between $9000 and $9000 with $5000 insured.

The upper floor of the New York Flour Mills at Rochester collapsed, dumping 600 bushels of wheat, 2500 bushels of feed, and 30 barrels of flour into the river. A snow storm hit Buenos Ayres on August 5, a rarity in twenty years. Pittsburg bought over 1000 bags of wheat for France, the first such sale. A Palermo letter dated Sept 16 says Sicily crops failed, and a cargo of American flour would fetch high prices.
