sturgis. KY, Oct. 5.--All talk Of arm

lector Blackwell has ceased for the
present, and Bono holder Preston has
sent word to the finding board to meet
him in Henderson tomorrow for a con-
ference He stated that he was afraid
10 come here. The fnding board sent
Mr.. Preston an offer about twelve
weeks ago. but he treated the offer with
silence. II Is understood that Preston
will tomorrow offer 80 cent com
promise, but the beard Will not dare
accept anything above the original
proposition. as the people would not
abide by g. A hundred thousand dol
lars for both precincts will be the best
that Mr.. Preston can get and little

New York. oct. 5.-R. G.. Dun's week.
Nv review of trade. which issues tomor-
row. will say: with the chief money
crons Of the west and south sinking in
value. It is not strange that purchases
Of manufactured products are smaller
than was expected. Wheat has touched
the lowest point ever known for options
and cotton the lowest ever known In
any form with the present classification
and the accumulation Of stocks Id both
nroduets is dIscouraglng to purchasers
for an advance. The producers are com
pelled to sell at prices below the ordi-
nary cost Of raising crops, and in some
western states there is also lsnentable
failure Of the corn crop. Under the cir
cnmstances II would be very strange IL
me demand for manufactured products
should be quite as large as in other
years.

HORRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE.
SIX BRAVE rnEMES KILLED IN A
DETROIT FIRE.
Seven Others, All Firmcn, BADLY In
jurcd--The Deadly lsicrtric Wires
Torn Down by tricks &c, in Their
work sgain.

Detroit Mich. Oct Sire was dis.
covered in the shipping room in the
Easement at the back Of the furniture
store OF Kcnnan a. Jain at 1880 o'clock
this morning. An alarm was prompt-
ly turned In. but by the time the en-
gines arrived the fire had gained con-
siderable Roadway, having run up the
elevator shaft. and the entire upper
heor was blaze OF smoke and flame
when the first stream was thrown.
There We're sixty employees in the build
Ing and most OF them had great Diff
Guilty In escaping. The building. an
old-fashioned i've story brick. was soon
Quilted ANA the stock destroyed. Az .
o'clock The front wall OF the building
tumbled into Woodward avenue. 1t
came In the shape OF collapse and the
mass OF debris did not spread beyond
the curb. The nremen working In front
OF the building We're warned and re-
treated as rapidly as possible. Some
BOT out from under but dozen or
more unfortunate fellows were unable
to do so on account OF the piles OF
brick, glass and burnt timber at the
front OF the store.
A yen OF horror went up simultane-
ously from the throats OF the thous-
ands who were In the streets and then
there was crash like nm earthquake.
The air was filled with dust and sheets
OF flame and smoke Then some OF the
falling bricks broke the heavy electric
wires In front OF the stores, besides
the trolley wires. a Hash OF sputtcrlnR
electric fluid lighted up the scene and
people crowded and surgod to get into

bushels last year, and western receipts
were only 4.si5.600 bushels, against
6,lSo,6ST last year. and these figures give
some encouragement but have little in
huence in view OF tho unusual visible
supply. The price for cash wheat is a
small fraction higher for wheat.
Corn receipts at the west have only
been third as large as they were last
year. with exports amounting to moth
ing, but the price has not further de-
clined. after the heavy fall during the
previous fortnight.
Pork products are weak in tone,
though only lard ia quotably lower.
Cotton is is lower. the cash prices
being the lowest known for forty-iive
years and considering the difference
In classification 1t Is perhaps lower
than at any time since 1919. and esu-
mates that the corn crop Is more than
ten million bales are more commonly
credited now than estimates OF $780,
600 were two months ago. With favor
able weather the yield seems likely TO
be the largest ever known.
The condition OF the Industries is in
some respects more satisfactory. Evil
IDENTIFY there is a larger demand for
iron products than there was a month
ago. although the increase In the OUT
put has been somewhat greater than
the demand so that prices steadily
tend upward. Bessemer pig Is selling
at 5000 at Plttsburg and bar iron at
IS cents with steel bars at LOS while
contract to suppress the principal west
ern competitor In nail manufacture
Is expected to hold the price at 81 for
wire and So cents for cut nails.
The structural market Is fairly &C.
tive at the west without change In the
east, and while the coke output has
now become the heaviest ever known.
1875 tons for the week, the price Is
declining and steps are being taken to
limit the supply. The boot and shoe
trade continues TO deliver more goods
than in any previous year as II did In
September and most of the works still
have orders for one or two months
ahead, although mainly for lower me-
dium priced goods. There ia a. little
better demand this week for goods OF
higher quality however. and the
demand for leather Is sim reducing the
| reserve.
The failures for the past week have
been 2ls in the United States against
800 last year and 80 in Canada against
| 45 last year
