REVIEW or TRADE.
A Fall I'm Stocks, But the Volume OF
Iepitimat. business IL Increasing.

Lcgitimate business II Increasing.
The passing of a dividend ty the st. Paul
caused fall in stocks, and tho Government
crop report fall in wheat, while the export
trade, though improving, continues small.
But the volume OF legitimate business is large
and increasing and there is improvement in
the productive industries.
The crop report was so much less gloomy
than other accounts that IL caused fall Of
-. cents in wheat ard 81 cents In cats, with
corn Il a cent lower. Yet it "a well to observe
that in large sections the farmers have Jared
badly with tn crop, upon which they depend
mainly for cash returns, aud their purchases
may therefore prove lighter than many antic>
ipde. The statement just published shows
that last years cotton crop was I,01l, ,TOl
bales, though the bureau and the cotton ex
changes estimated 6,3JO,000. The new crop
has promised TO be larger, but the effect Of
recent heavy rains cannot yet be fully meas
ured.
The monthly statement OF furnaces In blast
shows an output Of 1859 tons Of pig iron
weekly, an increase of 6,5T7 tons for the month
and prices, nevertheless, are well maintained,
with stiffening nt Philadelphia and Pittsburg,
southern productions gain largely, and the
demand for bar aud other manufactured iron
improves, but in steel rails there is no chirge
for the better. Consumption in cot on man
uracture has been per cent. larger than for
the previous year, with n considerable in
crcasc in spind es at the South.
Collections are either fair or improving q
little. At New Orleans IL is thought that
the injury TO cpiton has bc'n generally en-
nggerated; at Kansas City aud Omaha re.
ports are of very good crops The volume
of business measured by bank exchanges is
larger than las year 10y 10 pcr cent. outside
Of New York, though smaller by l-2 pe'
cent
The passing Of dividend by the ST. Paul
las not been unexpected but it convinccs the
public that the losses of Western roads be-
caus, of the interstate net have been far
heavier than the spectators have represent.

As there is every prospect Mt the present

it is a matter OF interest to ascertain somc>

relative TO the supply Of hogs for the con.
sumption of the new crop. Avery thorough

BURNED As A WITCH.
a Young Mojavc Indian Squaw Sac.
rificcd to Superstition.

The story comes from good authority at
Los Angeles. Cal, of the burning of n youog
squaw by Moiave indians, because she VS.
accused of preaching witchcraft For the
past two months strange disease has attack
ed mcmbcrS OF the tribe. The victims were
seized with violent head chcs purging and a
gradual stirouiug of the limo. Death usu-
ally followed within - hours from the time
Of the attack At leas' 90 Of the most popu.
tar men in tho tribe have died from the mys
terious disease
The spread of the disease NJ LIST became so
alarming that the members Of the tribe b.
came panic. stricken, and slaughtered their
dogs and burros as a sacrifice To appease the
anger OF the Great Father. This proving of
no avail, a council was held. The medicine
men sat around huge pot, which was iillel
with herbs, while the buck, were ,qua ted in
n semi-crcle some distance away The med
icne men watched the sielmipg of the herus,
until the mess ha tesn boiled down 10 a tea
cup,ul Of liquid Then n male pigsol aud his
mate were taken from wicker basket ond
held by the medicine men while ths liquid
from the herbs was pourel down their
throats The male bird. when re,e ised. flew
away. The female bird luttered few yards,
and then fell, helpless and dying, to the
ground.
While the medicine men were in the md,t
OF their orgies tn Y q, ciarei that there was
witch in the tribe With yells and impreca.
tons the frenzIel reds drove their women 10
the place where the council had teen held,
ard where the white pigeon lay among
the herbs and the grass The squaws were
driven past in single file, aud nearly all
passed the pigeon without giving it any no.
tica. Finally "A young squaw stepped out
Of the ranks aud was about to
picl, up the bird when the medic cine men, with
loud ye.ls, seized the girl d piuiou,d her
arms. The death Of the female pigeon was
! conclusive evidence that a squUw was the
witch. The first 'quaw to toucu thebir was
the fatal tst of the guilt. The poor girl, who
was only Is years Old, was stripped OF her
| clothing, tied to astaEe, an "a slow fire built
under her. When morning came nothing nut
the whitnei bones OF the girl aud the ula 'k
cmbers OF the fire remained about the stake.
