Trade TOPICS

Tho conditions no.ed for the past two OF
three weeks as controlling clements in trade
still continue The surplus reserves in the
banks of New York increasing, money is
being withdrawn from the activities of busi.
ness and boarded in the banks, trade is accor-
dinghy depressed and failures are exceedingly
numerous. The movement of general merch.
andise has been slow and shipments of cast
bound freights from Chicago were very
small. There has b en- greater tendency to i'm.
provement in the State of Pom sylvania than
elsewhere, Philadelphia noticing some i'm.
provement, and tn, exchanges in Pittsbure
were more than IL per cent. greater than in
the corresp ?ndin5 week of last year, alth ugh
the exchanges. taking the rest of the country
outside ofNew York, have shown a tendency
to decline. Ths largest percentage of failures
in the South and Wess continuing for so
many we-ks in succession, and not being
,eriously felt in III East, is SUI ,gestive that
it is very easy for Easttrn authorities to take
| different view of the actual condition of
| the country from those who reside eI~Hh ere.
The best feature in the situation is the con.
slant hopefulness of tn, future, the alb ence
of grumbling and of pessimistic views. There
is cheerfu!ness and confidence which must
have as mnch effect as can be produced from
such sources. Those with sufficient capital
and conservative methods can readily survive
these seasons of depression which become
ruinous to those not so well circunstanced.
In any other view the conditions are not i'm
proved in any respect.

Burned to Death.

A special from Jackson Mich. gives the
following particu mrs about the fire at the
County House. six miles from that city: The
fire was discovered soon after Midnight, the
kitchen being found mass of flames, the fire
seeming to have started from def ctive
chimney. Helpwa sent from Jackson, and
the work of securing the remains of the vic.
tins was at once begun, resulting in the re-
covery of five horribly charred bodies, which
could only be Unidentified by their positions in
the ruins. Much trouble was experienced
rescuing those who where saved, as many OF
them resisted all afforts in their behalf. By
the time they were out of the building it was
useless to fight the flames, such head way hav
ing been gained that the building and most
OF the contents were soon in ashes The only
DIRE apparatus about the place was some hos

The shaft in which the explosion occurred
was sunk abb u two years ago, and has
reached depth Ct 355 feet. From the base
OF the shaft the main heading runs out about
half a mile, from which the various rooms dis
