The State of Trade.

New YORK, August S.-R. G.. Dun II
Co.'S weekly review of trade says: Less
favorable crops prospects, closer money
markets and further delay in action on
the tariff bill in tine senate have increased
the uncertainty which retards business.
In spite Of the sharp advance in wheat,
corn, oats and coffee, the general average
of prices for commodities is a shade
lower than a week ago. The present
state of trade throughout the country ap-
pears satisfactory for the season, and re-
ports are almost uniformly confident in
tone. The crop outlook is on the whole
less promising and speculative news gath.
erers are making the most Of the damage
to wheat end corn. Wheat has riserr34c
with sales of 49, 600 900 bushels; corr 3hc
with sales of $4,000, 900 bushels, AID oats
3 cents, whice pork, hogs and cctton are
unchanged.
Iron ore and pig iron are inactive and
weak at Cleveland, but in rather better
demand at Plttsburg, where the demand
for finished iron is excellent for the
season. The same is true at Phlladel-
phia. A contradictory state of things is
seen in the wool and wooden trade; de.
cidedly larger sales Of wool and OF lower
grades of WOODEN goods, but lower prices
for wool, and depression In manufacture,
especially of all wool and finer goods, in
the belief that the delay of the tariff and
heavy imports will prevent a rise This
year.
The copper market is slow, with some
Lake sold at II cents; tin and lead are
duh. The outlook depends largely upon
the extent of the injury to crops, the &C.
ton of congress regarding duties, and the
foreign complications which affect the
demand of gold. Domestic exports of
products continue small and imports vecy
large.

kerton men have possession" was the
message which came over the wire from

RAPID CITY, 8. D., August 11.-.One Ct
the worst electric storms ever known, &C.
c%ompanied by acloud burst in the gulches
above the city, occurred here late yester-

Eta mine, who was driving with a party
from Hill City, took refuge beneath a
tree, and was instantly killed by light
nlng. The driver escaped unframed.
Miss Nettie Cleghorn was rendered in
sensible by the shock, upon the porch of
the Harvey hotel. The storm lasted
nearly two hours and at six o'clock
water came rushing down from Ravine
creek to the gulch. 1t flooded houses in
the upper part of the city, filled Rapid
street with a torrent and damaging prop
erty and buildings to the amount of
several thousanddollars. Hotel Harvey,
the Rapid River Rolling mills and the
electric ligh. company are the principal
losers. This is the first cloud burst
since 1878. Nearly perfect drainage was
all that preserved the city.

ed.
sHELByvILLE, August ia volcanic
eruption is now taking place in this
county. At 8 O'Clock this morning peo-
pie of Waldren and its vicinity livinc
near Ogden grave yard, 10 miles south
east OF this point were thrown into AK
element by the upheaval of the earth
and the falling of stones and mud. About
three miles south of Waldren, at a point
where Conn's creek empties into Flat
rock river. the stream forms a horse shoe
bend and within the bend are about ten
acres of land. At this point a terrific
explosion or upheaval occurred, leaving
holes in the ground and igniting the sur
rounding objects from burning gas. The
river bed is rent with great assures
and water is pouring down into the earth,
leaving the bed dry.
Geysers in various places are throwing
mud, water and gas to the heighth of is
feet, and the whole surface of the river
is aflame. Great noises are heard from
the earth and the road which runs along
the side of the river has sunk 10 feet.

P"andemonium in Jail.

Boston, August 7.--Afterth The prisoners,
who revolted, had been locked up at
Charleston, they continued their yelling
for some time and pandemonium reigned
despite all possible efforts on the part of
officers. They were then taken from
their cells singly and thoroughly search,
ed. The rising is said to have been in
stigated by "Chicken" Walsh. The
trouble furnished about the first practical
test that the police signal system has re-
ceived and proved its effect in aiding the
authorities to mass a large force of men
in any section of the city in a very short
time.
