WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.

NEW YORK, July 24-R G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review OF trade says; The past

well an extraordinary strain. The failure
OF many banNs aud firms has come. deSFtte
real relaxation in eastern and some western
and southern money markets. IrnNer
banks were ovorthrown largely by the crazy
un wisdom OF the people but in most cities
statements show the backs In healthy
condition, and there has since been noticed
more readiness to extend accommodation.
[ nder ali the conditions, IL Is astonishing
that business has been so well maintained.
with so little evidence OF unsoundness.
Wheat fell &c, corn lc pork products and
oil are lower; in place OF the expected ad-
vance In sugar decline has come and cot
ton, after some advance, rccedes again.
Western receipts of wheat are moderate
and exports fairly large, but unprecedented
stocks press for sale. Tho stock market
closed the previous week hopefully, but in
n few DAYS IL reached the lowest average
prices since 1884 London and short sellers
then bought and some recovery has fol-
lowed. The treasury has been paying gold
Z o the banks, but on the whole increasss
Us holdings. Imports OF products are a
little larger than year ago'but imports are
also large. The failures during the past
week number 467 In the United states,
against lBS last year, and Is in Canada,

Three Men Burned to Death in OIL.

An oil we'll was being drilled on a
farm belonging to the Ohio Oil COM
pany, about half way between Free
port and Woodside stations, twenty
miles south of Toledo, o. The last
screw was being turned when the well
suddenly began to flow furiously. The
tools were thrown out of the casing
and then the casing followed. The
flood of oil soon reached the boilers
near by and ignited. So rapidly did
the flames spread that only two of the
five worlmen escaped with their lives,
and they are terribly and perhaps
fatally burned. One was burned to a
crisp. The we'll is still flowing, the
workmen having been utterly unable
to check it. All the men were mar
ried and were from the Pennsylvania
fields.

NEWS WHICH WILL INTEREST

a Dig Fire at EVEN Destroys the business
Portion OF the Piace.---Paris Green
aud the River but still Alive.

( The village of Even, eighty-fve
miles west of Ishpeming, on the main
line OF the Duluth, South Shore * At
lantic Railway, was almost wiped out
by fire. The town is only five years
old, being built on land opened TO set
clement in 1859. Ii was the largest
town in Ontonagon county, and had a
populatiou of about 1000. The bust
ness blocks were of wood, and the fire
speedily grew beyond the control of
The local fire department. Every bust
ness house in town but two were
burned, also great number of resi-
depccs. Theloss is variously estimated
at from Sl50.0O0 to $4,000 The in
surancc is light, and in most cases
none, as rates were considered too high.
So far as known, no lives were lost,
though there were several narrow eS-
capes.
A special from Duluth says: A pri-
waite dispatch received in the Office of
the train dispatcher at 1l:l5 p. M. at
the union depot, says that a mob at
Even, Mich, has caught the man sus-
pected of starting the fire which de-
stroyed the town. and has hung him to
O tree.
A later dispatch from Ishpeming
Gays: Stories about the lynching of an
iacendiary at Even are baseless. The
fire caught in hotel kitchen; the fire
department failed to End its hose until
nearly all the business houses were
gone. but saved the big mills and the
residence district. There will be little
suffering except temporary inconveni-
ence caused by the loss of the entire
food supply of the town outside of
private lnrders. The loss will exceed
800. 600, with SIS. 900 insurance.
