NEW Yozx. June a-R q. Dun d Co.'s
weekly review of trade says:
While hesitataon in business has not ceased
and decided activity 10 hardly expected now.
until after the close of the fiscal year, it con-
fnues to be q matter of surprise and con-
graduation that the money markets and
trade have been 20 we'll sustained in spite Of
the exports of gold. The New York market
has been rather easy on cali, dropping from
81 to per cent, with heavy receipts from
the intsrier. Reports from other cities show
that money IL tighter at St Louis; tight at
Nashville; frmer ct New Orleans and Pitts
burg; in hardly adequate supply at Cleve-
land; not stringent, but affected BY distrust
on account of the city finances at Philadel-
pnia; nrm at Boston; in god demand in
Chicago and Milwaukee, but with good sup
ply for all legitimate needs, and easy at ali
other points reporting.
Trade Is not very active, but almost every
where hopeful. The failures at Boston made
shoe manufacturers cautious. Hides are
easy. dry goods quiet, wool sales moderate.
Tho exposures of official and banking mis-
conduct at Philadelphia tend to make bust
ness inactive.
Throughout the east and south fine crop
prospects give encouragement, almost the
only complaint now coming from New Or
leans from drought in adjoining regions. In
the northwest continuous rains make the
prospect unsurpassed. in the west trade is
fair, but dull at some points on account of
wet weather.
In the great industries there is better de-
mand for iron without changes in prices.
Especial caution appears in tho boot and
shoe trades, and abuses of credit are being
corrected. The dry goods business in light
weights is not what is expected, but orders
for dress goods are far in excess of the pre-
vious season. Sales of some cotton goods
are recorded at the lowest prices ever made.
Wool moves slowly, but Weddings at the west
gives a better prospect.
In breadstuffs the decline continues and
wheat 10 215c lower: corn, &c; oats, 11sc;
cotton, 316c; pork products are lower, and
coffee about &c; while tin, copper and lead
are stronger.
In general the approach of harvest, which
is expected to be most bountlful, has nat
ural effect on prices, and trade is but little
en- barrassed by speculative movements.
Business failures last week 224, compared
with 254 the week before and EOS the same
week last year.

A Kansas Industry Destroyed.

TOPEKA, KAN.-Sunday morning at near
church going time Horn & Schlueter's plan
ing mill was found to be aire. When the
fire department arrived the entire inside of
the two story frame building, filled with dry
lumber and shavings, was on fire.
Two streams were thrown, but they had no
effect on the fire. The fremen succeeded in
saving some lumber in an adjoining shed,
but large stock of fine lumber in the build
ing, consisting of oak, walnut, cherry, ash
and pine, was total loss.
&C. w. Horn, who had about three fourths
interest in the establishment, says the loss is
not less than $4,000 and leaves both part
ners without dollar.
About twenty men wore employed who
will be thrown out of employment.
Mr.. Horn said to-day: eff had any in
surance would rebuild at once, but have
not dollar to my name"
Chief Wilmarth had his feet blistered by
the heat, and several of the firemen were
badly scorched.

ments of of the counsel in the Frisco injunc-
ton suit, afidavits of stockholdersand others

house the entire company had just finished
the second chorus of the Crusaders, when
the temporary staging, through some defect
in construction, suddenly collapsed under
the great weight of over 200 singers, and all
were in q moment on common level. It il
q great wonder that many were not seriously
injured, but with true spirit and enterprise
hurt, and with but delay Of very few
minutes the cantata was resumed and was
sung through completely, the chorus stand
ing through the whole performance. Great
credit was due to those who thus rescued the
concert from utter confusion and brought
about order SO quickly. The large audience
that filled the house testified their approval
Enthusiastically at the first opportunity.

Dashes Through q Tornado.

LouIsvIILx, KY., June 6-The passenger
and crew of the east bound Air Line tram
had thrilling experience. They dashed
through tornado and all escaped without
ir:ury. When the train pulled out of st.
LOUIS. Sack Spaulding was the conductor
ana Charles Chambers stood at the throttle.
They were moving at . pretty good rate of
speed, and although the weather was threat
ening everything was working perfectly.
Suddenly the atmosphere became very heavy
and oppressive. Looking ahead the engineer
saw huge balloon shaped cloud bearing
down upon him. 1t came with rush and q
crash that sounded high above the rumbling
OF the train. The engineer saw great trees
torn up by the roots. fences swept away and
high banks leveled by the taperlng tail of
the tornado a. it touched the ground. It
was coming directly toward him, and he re-
allied that it could not be escaped. With
out moments loss of time he called to his
fireman to throw in coal. and then brace

AMI the ponderous engine fairly jumped
along the rails as fast Is the full force of
forty pounds of steam would carry her. On
came the tornado. For an instant it lowered
over the track and then the train dashed into
it. The engine rocked and swayed, SEEM
ingly about to turn over every moment, and

selves from being thrown out by lying down
and clutching the hot steam pipes. In I've
cars the scenes were even more excitinA,
When the car rose and fell from one side to
the other the passengers were hurled hither
and thither like nine-pins. The air re-
sounded with screams and prayers of men,
women and children. The lightning for that
brief moment played through the train, and
huge hail stones struck and broke the car
windows. This state of affairs existed for a
short time, and then the train drew out of
the tornado and the cars settled quietly back
on the rails. The tornado passed of then
over the open Illinois country. None of the
passengers were badly hurt, but many were
bruised.

eran church Canton, o., was selected as the
place for next meeting.

In Honor of the Great Commander


GAlENA, Ill, June 5.-High on an emf
hence in the city that he once claimed as his
home, magnificent monument to the men,
DRY of 'The Old Commander" General
Grant, was formally unveiled with impress
sive services. An immense throng-the
number was variously estimated at from 25,-
OOO to 80, 600 people
Business was entirely suspended. In Du-
buque the public schools were closed, and
Freeport and other contiguous cities were in
similar accord. The pretty little city was
literally swathed in bunting. The decora-
ton of the bridges, court house, market
house, ana other public buildings were espe-
cially elaborate, the aid of professional deco
rators having been invoked in order to make
display worthy of the occasion. All the
business houses and private residences, with
scarce an exception, we're enveloped in the
national colors, and there were two grand
arches on Main street at as many principal
crossings.
Two special trains from Chicago brought
in large number of distinguished guests.
Among them were Hon. Chauncey NJ. De-
pew. of New York, the orator of the day; ex-
General and Mrs. Nelson A. Miles; Judge
and Mrs. Walter Q. Gresham; Johan Gelert,
the sculptor of the monument; H. II. Kohl
saat, the donor of the monument; Senator
Cullom, Senator Allison and Congressman
Henderson. of Iowa; Judge Blodgett; Stuy-
vesant Fish. president of the Illinois Central
railroad, and over 200 others.
With the Chicago delegation came the
famous Fifteenth regiment band from Fort
Sheridan, and in addition to this martial
music there were in the city no less than if
teen other musical organizations from vari-
Gus points of Illinois and Wisconsin. The
distinguished visitors were met at the depot
by an immense crowd and heartily greeted.
Shortly after IL o'clock the exercises opened
with a parade, under command of Grand
Marshal George S. Avery.
The bronze statue stands on q solid base,
formed of three tiers of Quincy grey granite,
with pedestal of beautifully carved and
polished red granite from the quarrles of
Maine. On the front surface is the simple
inscription in plain, large letters. Grant,
our Citizen" The statue Is heroic in size,
and represents General Grant in citizens
dress standing as if in reflection. The like
ness is excellent, and the portrayal of the
subtle individuality of the man is excellent.
The orator of the day was Chauncey NJ.
Depew.

A New CompIicas,on.


WASHINGTON, D. c., June 9.-There 10 q
fair prospect for another hitch in the Beh-
ring sea matter before it reaches arbitration,
and there are obstacles Jet to overcome be-
fore IN agreement can b reached for Z
closed season. The bill passed by the house
Of commons confers authority upon the
queen to issue . proclamation prohibiting
British subjects from taking seals during q
certain period, but the issuance of this proc
lamation 10 dependent upon the disposition
of the queen, or, rather, If Lord Salisbury.
The British government, it 10 understood,
will insist that the United States shall be
pledged to pay British subjects for losses sus-
tanned through deprivation Of sealing priv
leces during the closed season, If the conten-
lions of the United states arc not sustained
BIZ arbitration. On the other hand, the Brit
lsh government will probably agree to pay
damages to the American company in case q
different decision 10 reached.
OF course the president can give no such
pledge for payment of damages, that being
matter that congress alone can deal with.
Congress not being in session, this question
complicates the situation, and It - doubtful
