Weekly Review of Trade.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade, for Nov. %, says: '"The
Brazilian revolution has had surpris-
ingly little influence in the markets as
yet; coffee is only an eighth higher for
the week, and the new government
appears to be so generally sustained
that apprehension of closing of ports
or interruption of trade has almost
ceased. But 1t is possible that the.
money markets were indirectly effected
to some extent through Europe, where
the uncertainty continues. The Bank
of England lost for the week 81 ,O50,00
and the Bank of France $3.50, 900. Here
money has been scarce and dear at
times, tight as Philadelphia and de-
cidedly close as Boston.
While the treasury has taken in for
the week s1,430,000 more than il. has
paid out, the heavy exports of domss-
tic products gives strong assurance that
the money market will hardly be dis
turbed by demands from abroad. The
marketing of crops and movement of
money from this city to pay for them
have produced an easier situation at
western and southern centers, and
while no change is reported at Chicago,
and money is active at Z per cent. at
Milwaukee, it is at other points dis
tnctly easier, or in ample supply for
legitimate business.
The great industries are making
steady progress.
The cotton manufacture has been
doing a steady business, and as to its
prosperity evidence is afforded by divi-
dends averaging s.73 per cent yearly on
thirty-three Fall River mills. The
wooden goods business does not appear
at Boston to be improving to any great
extent, and it is now settled that no
advance over last years prices will be
attempted, but there has been more
activity i'll the wool market here, at
! Philadelphia, than at Boston, sales at
Boston reaching S,000,0 900 pounds,
though at concessions, still on transsc-
tons of magnitude.
Montevideo hides have sold at the
lowest price for thirty-ive years, but
more demand for leather is noticed at
Boston, especially for wax and kip.
| Hardware is also selling well, and lun
ber is in good demand.
Rubber was disturbed at first by fear!
that the supply would be cut off, but witt
new Para at y cents the apprehension
is disappearing ..:.... .
Wheat has risen Is cent, with sales O
"a, 200, 900 bushels here, and corn only i
cent, with sales OF 100000 bushels
Oats rose IS cent, and pork products ar
higher. The general course OF price
has been upward, however, the advanc
!, since Nov, having averaged about II
per cent on all commodities. i
Bar silver has risen to "A pence pc

MORE IMPROVEMENTS.

Charles Eisembeis has purchased OF c..
3. Swigert twenty-five teet OF ground on
Taylor street, between Washington and
Water. This was necessary to give MIR.
Eisenbeis more room for his hotel. Mr..
Swigert pays for one half OF the rear wall
in the Eisenbeis building, and it is I'M
derstood that he will erect building on
the remaining fifty feet of ground joining
the Miller building. This will make
solid brick block between Washington
and Water. The public may rely upon
the fact that the Swigert building will
bo a fine one. He never does anything
half way.

DISHONEST CREW.

Capt Angerstein, of the fdaho, said
last night that since the work of strip
ping the wrecked steamer commenced
the crew have developed fondness for
appropriating everything possible to
carry away to their own use. The
motto ''every man for himself appar-
emily prevailed, and blankets, pieces of
furniture, crockery, provisions, and a
multitude OF other articles not to he
enumerated, were quickly taken pos
session of by the men. Last evening
the men were discharged, and while
bound to protect the rights of the com
pany and not wishing to he too hard
on the men, the captain had Sergt. OF
Police Langley search ones box and
belongings before allowing him to take
his things away, and all company pro
pertv found in the baggage was return
ed to the owners. The captain is still
loath to give up all hope of saving the
ship, and will make another effort Il

OLYMPIA, Dec. 3.-After the usual

Shaw presented Il resolution that the
governor be requested to have printed
the reports of the trustees of the various

Herren thought this was a reflection

failed to do his duty.
Grant also thought it unnecessary.

ng house on Railway avenue at O'Clock
in the evening and burned until Monday
morning. A large number OF frame
buildings and several grain elevators were
near the lodging house and soon after the
fire broke out they were ablaze
strong wind was blowing toward the
city at the time, and the blaze was soon
beyond the control of the firemen. The fire
leaped from street TO street and nothing
could be done but let the flames have their
own way until they reached the river and
then endeavor TO prevent the fire from
reaching the buildings on the opposite
side.
The flames swept through the city and
one business block after another was con-
sumed, everything being burned TO the
waters edge. The fire department was
stationed on the other side OF the stream
and prevented flying embers from setting
fire to the buildings there. Only few
dwellings were destroyed, as the residence
portion OF the city was not visited by the
fire.
The water supply proved totally made

came panic stricken. Several people are

Spokane was one or the most prominent
cf the many new cities In the infant State
OF Washington. Situated on the line of
the Northern Pacific railroad close TO the
Cpur d Alene mining region, the city has
been the site for many large industrial es-
Establishments, such as smeltors and kindred
enterprises. Expensive public edifices
had also been recently erected, and the
population was easily supporting two
prosperous daily papers.
The business district of Spokane was i'm
a strip between the Northern Pacific rail
road tracks and the Spokane river. This
strip was five squares across, and extended
about seven squares in length. 1t was
solidly built up with brick and stone
structures. the cost of which varied
from $25, to 1926, 900. Ten
banking houses, FIVE hotels, the opera
house, and many Wholesale establishments
doing business estimated at half "A million
dollars each were situated within the dis.
trict described. The estimate of $50,
900, 00D loss is believed to be exagger
ated Half that amount Is thought to be
nearer the actual figure, assuming that the
reported complete destruction of the city
is correct.

10000. The city possessed an excellent
