CoSNRLLsyILLE, May 2.-The Keystoae
Courier says: epast two weeks have not
developed any brighter prospects for the
coke trade; though 1t cannot be said that
trade is any duller or the future any
blacker than it was two weeks ago. Dur
ing the past fortnight, the syndicate has
closed downthe pool ovens three days and
thus restricted the output until the stock
OF coke is all worked of the yards, or
nearly 80. The output still keeps up to
the average, but II shows no signs OF 70.
ing beyond 1t. During the past two weeks
The syndicate shipments, exclusive oi
three idle days, averaged a20 cars daily;
the. outside shippers averaged 1856 cars
every day; total average daily shipments,
$50 cars. As stated, this does not prom.
ise to be increased. The period has now
come when any improvement in the iron
trade must make itself shown; It has not
done so, and there is no reason to expect
It unless something out Of the usual course
Of eyents trarspires. Labor Is plenty, in
spite OF the summer season. Cars are like.

NV YoRr, May 2.-The general tenol
otthe special kilograms received by Brad
.trsets to-day .corroborates the views taker
by this journal early in the year, that
while the Spring season would be likely
to result in a moderate degree Of CONNER.
eial activity, which, by comparison with
the Winters dullneas, might suggest q
trade revival, the volume Of merchandise
distributed would fall behind the total
during the like period in 1884, and that
the end Of the season would bring nc
prospects OF q revival In the near future,
This forecast holds true at the present
tme-the close Of the spring season. The
past week revealed no gain In the dis.
tribution OF merchandise In any line,
with o possible exception in favor Of boots
and shoes from Boston. Dry goods are "a
slow OF movement and as unsatisfactory
a. TO the margin Of profit as heretofore.
The sales OF groceries and provisions have
not yet increased. The damage to the
winter.sown wheat, reported by the Gov
ernment 10 amount to 4 shortage Of q. 900.
900 bushels as compared with the crop OF
loooI pulutd 70 u nAIFebL OF fzu,UUU,uuU
bushels, o quantity equal 10 the harvest OF
1885. Prices OF wheat and -four have
been unsteady under the varying rumors
as to the prospects Of war abroad. Inac-
cordance with the tenor OF late reports,
the movement has been upward. Hog
products have been dull and inactive.
Speculation has been light and purchases
for export as limited as for grain.
Raw wool is in little better demand II
any, notwithstanding the improyementin in
the request for certain lines OF woolen
goods. The prospective pressure Of the
new clip prevents o gain in prices. The
war news exercised . depressing influence.
on prices OF cotton, and middling uplands
closed higher. The movement of grocery
staples Is still disappointing. Coffee and
ten are lower. Sugar advanced on specu-
latiye buying. Canned goods are weak.
Dairy products are lower and quiet.
There were 167 failures in the United
States and thirty in Canada during the
past week.

under 81. 900 bonds. on the charge OF as.
sault to kill, he having in October last
attempted TO take the town at Bullion
and paint the came a sanguinary hue with
Q double srreled rife. Last evening
Booker went for o bucket OF water, &C.
companied by the Deputy Sheriff, and
the moment the officer turned his back
upon him, "Bill" dropped the bucket,
striking through the alley at 9 2:40 gait.
Deputy Taber followed in hot persuit. but
soon discovered that I" Bodie" would pass
the wire before he could reach the quarter
pole and gave up the race before the CLOSE
OF the frst heat. Booker was tracked 10
the lower bridge and down to the bottom
for some distance south Of the river, where
the tracks we're lost. Descriptions Of the
fugitive have been sent both by wire and
mail. in every direction. which will render
escape from the country extremely diff.
cult at this season OF the year, as Booker
will be forced to seek food and shelter In
some OF the camps in which the news Of
his escape has preceded his arrival.
