It IS interesting, not to say comfort
ng, to know that the business depres-
sion in the United States has its almost
exact counterpart in England and other
European countries. The facts of the
existing situation in England are re-
lated IN detail by careful observer
who writes for Bradstreet's financial
journal. He says every one Is com
planning of declining prices and dimin-
ishing profits. Works are carried on
at a remuneration which is not in ex-
cess of current rates of interest, and Is
sometimes actually below them, Bus
mess is continued i'll many directions
only because it is more ruinous to shut up
the mandatory, dismiss workmen and
let machinery lie idle than it is to work
with little or no profit. The price of
metals In England is exceedingly low.
Iron has been cheaper, and continons-
" cheaper, than at any period lit
recorded history. The owners of lead
mines have closed them, since the price
of the article will not pay for the work
ing. Copper has fallen to half the price
at which it used to stand, and tin,
which used to be almost exactly the
same price as copper, is seriously
oheapened. Cotton, linen and wooden
goods are, abnormally low. Coal has fall
en- so considerably that pits are worked
at no profit and even at loss. The Eng
lIsh farmer. though he has at last been
blessed with a propitious summer and a
plentiful harvest. is in despair at the
low price of grain and the high price of
lean stock. Freights are low and the
shipping interest is querulous. Com
plants are rife that the railways are
destroying trade by high freight charges
when their customers have no option
but to employ them, and by diferen-
tiaI charges of low amount which they
grant when in their competition with
each other they are seeking to attract
new customers. Ship building is GER
family very much at standstiil, and
ordinary building operations are suf-
fering under unparalleled stagnation.
London and some other great towns
are. it is said. overbuilt, rents are de.
clining and tenements are inlet.

Tragic Fate OF a Hero.

Chicago Special: About noon of Wednesday
last Mike Brady, the elevator man Of the Gull
yer block, at La Sale and Michigan streets,
discovered that the first floor was in flames.
Immediately after there was terrific explo
sion on the first floor, supposed to have been
of barrels filed with paint, and tho men ran
for their lives, Brady having his hair burned
off. The flames rushed like whiIlwlnd up
