DUNN 6 CO.'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
Business Has Been Retarded by Rainy
and Unreasonable Weather

New YORK, May 6.-R. G. Dunn &
Co. S Weekly Review Of Trade says Bust
ness has been much retarded throughout
most of the Western States by the unusual
and continued rains. The movement of
products is thus delayed, though it is be-
lieved to be temporary. Collections are
retarded, seeding i'll many quarters
is interrupted, though the
whole, fairly advanced for the season; and
the distribution of goods is checked. a
somewhat better tone appears at the South
and business in the East is fairly active for
the season, although in some lines dull and
depressed. Money is every where abundant,
in part because the demand is smaller than
usual, but this is in measure due to the
unusual conserv atism OF the trade, buyers
making many small purchases instead Of
larger purchases and waiting more care
fully for actual distribution.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the last seven
days as reported to r. &. Dun Is Co.,
and f. Russell & Co., the mercantile agency,
number for the United States 1856 and for
Canada 20, or total Of 2U9, as compare !
with 2ll last week, and POI the week pre-
vious to the last. For the corresponding
week of last year the figures were 242,
representing Pig in the United States and
| 80 in Canada.

OTTAWA, ILL.,, May Seas Of water
are over and in the five unfortunate towns
Ottawa, Marseilles, Peru, Lasalle and
Utica The Illinois has risen steadily,
and last night the cities were in total
darkness. the result OF the flooding of tho
electric and gas plants. Boats are used
for communication. The list of unfortu-
mates by food has been added to by the
numbers of people driven from houses
which escaped Friday. Despite all efforts
the manufacturing district is totally Gov
cred by water AS the waters rose builI-
ing after building would close down and
the employees leave to await the subsding
of the flood. Ottawa will be helpless for n
week at least. Marseilles, I.asalle and
Peru are in an even moro desperate CON
dition At Marseilles the river is steadily
rising and is more and more dreaded rs the
levees weaken. There is little hope that
they will stand mach longer.
And everyone in the district threatened
has moved all property to high ground.
At Lasallc the situation is even more dcs-
pcrate than it was last night, the water
hauing advanced from . to 3 feet all around
the city, and the manufactures, the water
works and electric light plants are still
under water. The same condition is pres
cnt at Peru, and in both cities all business
is practically suspended. At Utica the
waters have encloached still further upon
the lower end of the village from the river
and the outlets east and west are blocked

BosToN, May THE jury in the lena
Davis trial retired at 3:45 p. M. to consider
its verdict and after being out two hours
ami % minutes, returned a verdict of MUIR
der in the first degree against James \.
Trefethen, who was charged with killing
Tena j. Davis on December % last, and a
verdict of not guilty against his brotherin-

being accessory to the crime.
Ex-Gov. Long Immediately announced
his intention of filing exceptions in tho case
OF Trefcthen, and was given until May 20 in
which to do so.
Ii these exceptions should not be sustain
ed, Trefethen will be sentenced at the Jun >

case will go over until November.
The verdict caused surprise both to the
public and the attorneys interested. for,

Of uncertainty any longer remains The

that the rules Of the order are obeyed. 4
meeting Of the department encamplAcnt Of
Louisiana was recently held and the rep
