DUN's REVIEW OF TRADE.
Bottom Has Been Reached I'm the Iron
Market The General Distribution

Bottom Has Been Reached in the Iron
Market The General Distribution
Good.
New YORK, April 1.-R. q. Dun &
Co. S weekly review OF trade will say
the business outlook is distinctly i'm
proving. There has come a distinct
increase in the marketing OF manufac-
tured producte and greater activity in
many lines of domestic trade. This is
in part due to more favorable weather
in most sections, and the improved con-
dition of country roads and TO the pros
pect of an early spring.
The manufacturers are doing well.
Probab bly, the cotton manufacture has
never turned out as great quantity Of
goods at any other time as 1t has this
year thus far with less accumulation Of
its products in the hands OF manufac-
turers or wholesale dealers. The dis
tribution has been remarkably large,
and the results OF trade generally salts
factory, as prices Of the materials have
been declining, while goods, though on
the whole as cheap as at any other time,
are fairly maintained in price.
In the iron trade, bottom seems to
have been reached. More business is
seen at Philadelphia, and many furnaces
have ceased production, so that fewer
forced sales are reported, though a new
and large furnace in Alabama begins
work No improvement is seen in bar
iron. but some in plates, and in structu-
raj iron the demand is better than a
year ago. Copper is unsettled and ir-
rgular, tin is slightly lower and lead
dull. The market for coal is distinctly
firmer.
Money markets here and throughout
the country are abundantly supplied,
and there is no sense OF anxiety mani
fefted in any quarter.
The business failures for seven days
number 2ls, against 231 last week. For
the same week Of last year the figures

CONSUL M'CREERY
Alleged to Have Sold the Influence of
His Office for Money

NEW YORK, April 1.-The Valparaiso
correspondent of the HTrdld cables that
during last August, w. ). Stern obtain
ed a permit through American Consul
McCreery to ship north, contraband
goods actually belonging TO the Italian
firm of Zanilli Bros.
Ii was alleged that the contraband
goods were the property of Stern as an
American citizen. Zanilli Bros. books
show, however, that $1,000 was paid to
Consul McCreery for his services in the
matter.
II saw Stern to-day" says the corre-
spondent, land he alleges that Zanelli
Bros. employed him aud that Consul
McCreery gave him a permit after the
goods had been shipped. He author
lied the Consul 10 receive the money,
and it was paid over to McCreery. The
transaction is likely TO be judicially in-
yestigated here. The incident is gen.
erally regarded as placing the Consul in
a peculiar light. Mr.. McCreery denies
receiving money for his services in re-
lation to exchange transactions. He
saws that he believes he has a right to
buy and sell bills Of exchange. These
attacks upon and charges against the
Consul are rendering him very unpopu-
lar among the residents Of Valparaiso.

THE GOLDEN RULE FIRE.
Nearly Dozen Missing from Among the
Boats Crew-How the Fire Started.

CINCINNATI. O., April Although
only one death is positively known oy
the burning of the steamer Golden Rule
last evening, number of persons are
missing this morning. They are:
Frank T. Riley, second mate; Buck
Warner, Billy MADISON and Mack,
Roman, stevedores. There are rumors
that there were from six TO fifteen deck
hands and rouStabouts at work In the
hold at the time of the explosion that
fired the boat. One roustabout that
escaped from the hold reports that nine
men were in it when he escaped.
The first mate, Barney Connell, last
saw the second mate, Riley, on the
boiler deck when the fire started, near a
hatchway, and thinks he may have gone
down 10 save the men below. There
are stories of spectators of seeing women
Jump overheard and men struggling in
the water. All sorts of wild tales are
afoat.
The best judgment balancing pro6a-
bilities at present writing is that seven
or eight have perished, exclusive OF the
list given above, making total OF
twelve or thirteen. Those in the hold
being rOustaboutS or deck nandS, they
arc likely to have no relatives and no
friends here TO miss them.
Ii is related by a negro roustaoout,
who escaped that the fire started from
the bursting of a vessel of varnlsn,
which was ignited by the lights used
by the men in the hold.
THE LIST GROWS.
Up to /. p. m. none Of the bodies OF
those lost on the steamer Golden Rule
had been recovered. As the time
passes and the missing are not found 1t
becomes almost certain that the fatali-
ties are:
Miss Nellie Maloney, Cincinnati; Mrs.
Rev. George b. Easton, Addyston; Mrs,
OLeary, cook; Frank T. Riley, mate;
Buck Warner, deck-hand; William Mad
ison, deck k-hand; Mat HOman, deck
hand; four unknown deck-handS, which
makes eleven.
The examination of the hold cannot
be made until diver comes, which will
not be before tomorrow.
