TaE STATE OF TRADE.
some Improvement in the West-1he Iron
Market Somewhat Strengthened.

NEW York February l3.-R. q. Dun
4 Co.'S weekly review OF trade says:
There is soms Improvement in business
at the East ard more confident feeling,
and at Chics,.. the tone is very hopeful.
Hut at most other western, and nearly
all southern points. business shows no
increase in volume and Is rather hesltat-
ing. The industrial outlook is modified
by the great strike OF the COnnellsvllle
coke workers, which must cut oil large
supplies OF irion if it lasts and by the
great decreaS in iron output. The tone
of the market for finished iron SStronger
because of the coke strike, and
sales OF pig iron have been unusually
liberal. The local market is dull and
weak, all agreement to restrict produc-
tion proving farcical in result, for the
output is ranging from - TO 30 per cent
above last years.
The demand for wool continues
strong. and worSted grades are rising.
Provisions have been shade weaker,
with fall OF * cents in corn and
wheat. and oats have declined each a
fraction on small sales, but cotton ana
oil are stronger and cotton unchanged.
Cleveland reports fairly good trade IN
most lines, and pig iron slightly better.
Pittsburg notes better demand for mer-
chant iron, because of the strike, and
good trade in bottle glasses, but dullneSs
in other branches OF the glass business.
At Chicago wool receipts are more than
double last year and there is some in
crease in lard and cheese. Philadelphia
reports improvement in wool and iair III
dry goods and clothing.
Throughout the country the money
markets are comparatively easy and nm
disturbed. Collections are reported
slow at most places.
The business failures during the last
seven days number 2O7, with BOG last
week. and 302 same week last year.

Business Receivers.

NEW YORK, Nov. AR G. Dun &
Co. IS Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business has entirely recovered from
the slight disturbance caused by the
Maverick bank failure. Money in New
York has fallen again to 4 per cent on
call and at Boston plenty is Offering
and rates are steady. Trade is large in
volume for the season and in many
lines, especially at the west, the largest
ever known. But margins for profits
are narrow and the tendency of prices
is not toward improvement in that re-
spect While breadstuffs advance, most
manufactured products tend to de-
cline. Records of mortgages satisfied
in western counties show that enor-
nous sums are taken for that purpose
by farmers from their receipts, so that
an unusual proportion of the money
paid for crops goes to cancel debts ere
ated in past years Doubtless this In
part explains the fact that the demand
for various manufactured products has
not yet increased SO largely as was ex-
pected in view of the great crops

A FAMILY BURNED.

Shocking Discovery After a Fire in \ Row

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 14-Early yes
terday morning a row of cheap frame
buildings on North High street were
destroyed by fire. At 5 o'clock last
evening the fremen found the remains
OF human beings and began a thorough
investigation and soon five bodies were
taken out and removed to the coroner's

1t seems an entire family was burned,
and this explains why the dead were
not missed. The bodies are those of a
little boy of 2, girl of 4. another girl
of 6 and the father and mother, named
Betheard.
The fire occurred at 4 o'clock in the
morning and neither the fremen nor
the police knew anything of the loss OF
life until their attention was called to
the fact by a lady friend of the burned
family.
The father was found on the floor
with his oldest daughter in his arms.
They were both burned to a crisp
Mrs. Betheard, the mother, was lying
partially on the bed and partially on
the floor and looked as if death had
