Signs of . Considerable Boom In Trade,
Spring Wheat Seedlings Effects.
New YORK, May 10.-R- G. Dun &
Co. 8 weekly review of trade says: Dur
ing the past week the business situa-
ton has changed but little. The OUT
ward manifestations vary somewhat,
but the leading facts are still the enor-
nous volume of traffic in progress, the
expectation of monetary expansion and
the absence of forces at present serious
~ disturbing even in details Chief
and most potent of the present favoring
influences is still the prospect of in
creased monetary use of silver in some
form. Labor controversies cause less
interruption than has been anticipated.
1t has come to be recognized that in
jury to winter wheat may count for 50,-
600, 600 bushels at least, but spring seed
ing has covered an increased acreage
and larger yield of that kind would
naturally follow higher prices. Cotton
is shade weaker than a week ago and
accounts of injury less impressive. Iron
shows no great change, the radical facts
in that branch being the transfer of part
OF the production to Southern instead of
Northern fields. The increase in wool
supply this year can not be large, but
the expectations of higher prices so
generally entertained by growers tend
to embarrass the manufacturer. Boston
sales were large, with prices stiff.
The movement of meats continues
heavy-at Chicago, 5000, 600 pounds of
dressed beef against 945, 900 last year,
and for the year thus far so, 600, 600
against 100000 pounds last year.
Beef cattle have reached the highest
point for the year; lard receipts at Chi
cago are nearly double, and hogs grow
stronger at the West. In general, OPP
erations in products are remarkably
large, with advancing prices, but ma My
because of the expected loss in produc-
ton this year.
The dry goods business continues of
full volume-at Chicago larger than last
year-and the shoe trade is also larger.
The volume of all trade shown by ex-
changes outside of New York remains
about 10 per cent above last years,
which in turn was the largest on record.
The reports from interior cities indicate
fairly maintained activity, with money
markets nowhere stringent. though at
Chicago and some other points closer
about May than before on account of
settlements and preparation for assess
ments for taxation. The disburse-
ments to May 1 were larger than ever
before, approaching $50, 600, 900.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days number 200, as compared
with gil last week. For the correspond
ing week of last year the figures were

The Loss of Life Supposed to Be Far Greater
Than First Reported.
UTICA, n. Y. May 1O.-The number
of bodies found in the ruins of the poor
house in Preston, Chenango County,
is already thirteen and the i'm
preston is growing that the loss
of life far exceeds the first estimate.
The building burned very rapidly. as if
pitched and tarred, and with great
ferceness. The fire was intensely hot
the belief exists that some of the
bodies were so completely inciner-
ated that no trace of them
can be found. The following are
known to have been burned besides
those mentioned in previous dispatches:
Mary Vosburg of Otselie. Estella NAL
lory of Norwich and Julia Hunt of Nor
wich. One insane woman was captured
near Plymouth, several miles away, last
night. She was half clad and bewailed
the loss of her home. One of the
imbeciles was scared into her senses by
the fire and escaping from the burn ng
room by window reached the roof and
crawled along the ridge board and
reused the keepers wife from slumber,
thus saving her life.

becomes a bit of machinery. Eight
hours is as long as any man should be a

man work twelve hours day is dishon-

iron rose to 1000, 600 in 1873. If the
Republican doctrine was true, then
every ton imported displaced ton of
American iron. But the figures
showed that domestic product rose
from So, $1,000 tons in 1870
to 119, 900, 900 tons in 1872. That showed
conclusively that the Democratic posi-
ton was right-that increased imports
increased the demand for American la
Dor. Following out the figures it was
seen that from 1850 to 1885, when the
imports of pig iron dropped of, the do
nestle production fell off more rapidly.
These figures presented an argument
absolutely overwhelming horse, foot
and dragoon-all this talk of importa-
tions interfering with domestic employ
ment.
Mr.. Mills criticised the provisions of
the bill relating to hides, tin-plate and
sugar, and then said that at length these
gentlemen were brought to their knees
at the confessional and were bound to
admit that there was widespread depres-
sion throughout the agricultural regions.
What did the bill do to aid agriculture?
It put sugar on the free list, though all
the Republicans did not come up like
little gentlemen and take sugar in theirs.
Gentlemen on the other side expressed
sympathy for the farmer, and their
zeal to relieve the distress which they at
length acknowledged surrounded the
agriculturalist- Two years ago the
Democrats stood here and declared that
the country was on the edge of dark
shadow. The Republicans ridiculed
this and said that the farm mortgages
were only further evidence of prosper
ity and wealth. Laughter.] Why did
not the committee treat sugar as it
treated wooden goods and cotton goods

A MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM
A Census Enumerator Receives q Very
Funny Request From the Bureau.

A Census Enumerator Receives q Very
Funny Request From the Bureau.
How 10 make thirty deaths out of
sixteen, is mathematical problem that
is AT present bothering George Bunnell.
During the recent United States census
enumeration ne WAS one of the enum-
orators, and in his district he reported
sixteen deaths as having occurred dur
ing the preceding year. A few days
ago he received letter from the census
bureau, in which II was stated that he
had evidently made mistake, AS the
other districts averaged thirty deaths.
He was also ordered 10 make another
canvas and supply the deficiency. II
the city hall had fallen on George he
could not have been more surprised i.
He was certain that his report WAS as
accurate as 1t was possible to make IL,
as he had been very conscientious about
his work.
How TO counteract this latest move
of the census bureau has resulted in
George losing many hours sleep, and
he would evidently be as gray as a
wharf rat had he not struck upon q
very unique scheme. He is at present
framing a reply, which will undoubsed-
ly take the wind out of the United
States authorities. In it he informs
them that, If they will kindly send on
instructions and the necessary imple-
ments, that is, few gatling guns to-
gether with regiment of soldiers, he
will be able to furnish death rate that
will IN all probability satisfy them. Ia
case they do not see fit 10 do tins, he
says IT viii be impossible for him 10
make thirty out of sixteen.
