J Captain Finn is the freight agent of the Prussia in Chicago. ' The Prussia's cargo is from Chicago, and consists of 17,2100 bushels of wheat and sundries. About 7,500 bushels of the wheat were lightered! (so the propeller could go through the lower Canadian canals to Montreal) and this quantity escaped. The quantity sunk with the Prussia is about U,700 bushels, which is insured in the Chicago Pool for about $1.10 per bushel. The loss is another heavy blow at the Pooi, owing to tho cheap rates of insuranee which have prevailed. The cargo was shipped by Gallup, Clark ^ Co., of Chicago, and was consigned to Crane & Baird, of Montreal. The Prussia measures 45S tons. She is owned by Burrows and others of St. Catha-1 rines," rates A 2, and is vaiued at $25,000. It] is supposed that she can be raised. 8peeialTeleeram to The Inter Ocean.
