New YORK, Sept. 1O.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
The business outlook is much like an
April day, with alternate clouds and
sunshine. In some branches strong
improvement still continues, while in
others trade is diminishing. Strikes
lessen for the time the working force
perhaps as much as it is otherwise
increased by the strike of garment
makers, which spreads SO rapidly that
au early end is considered certain,
while the strikes in cotton mills have
advanced prices SO much that settle
ment is thought not distant.
The government crop report is cX-
pectcd to foreshadOw a great loss in
corn, while other observers believe
reports materially exaggerated and
estimates of the yield range all the
way from 1900, 900. 900 to 100, 900, 900
bushels This uncertainty affects
business prospects to some extent and
an advance of one-half cent the past
week has followed receipts not half
those of the same week last year
Failures in August aggregated
liabilities of $40, l39,477, of which
So. IT., $50 were in manufacturing and
$5,O7S,l53 in trading concerns. Dur
ing the week the failures were 91j in
the United States, against 323 last
year, and A in Canada, against %

eddy Unpleasant Experiences.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. lO.-Special
Agent H. b. Martin of the United
States land office at Washington has
returned from Death valley, after
four and a half months absence.
He went in to do some survey
ing of claims of private citizens
Is a portion of the region. He
and his party entered the valley by
way of Tulo canyon and examined
the country for sixty or seventy miles
to the south. They were at Towns
pass and camped for some time near
Furnace creek. Sand storms pre-
vailed almost daily and the heat was
intense. Part of the time they could
not get water and they had to
bring it a distance on pack horses.
Our main stock Of meat was ba-
con" said Martin. 1--WE could not
get particle of fresh meat, so we
ate the big lizards of the desert which
the Digger Indians eat They tasted
a good deal like frogs. All our pota-
toes rotted as soon as we got into the
desert and we had no vegetables of
any sort. The only thing that helped
US out was canned fruit. The ordeal
was so severe that each man lost
some fifteen or twenty pounds of
flesh and all grew weak. Before
would go into it again | think
would resign. There are many
strange insects there-tbings l never
saw before. There are also many
horned rattlesnakes or side winders.
We killed sixteen of them. There are
also many poisonous scorpions in tie
valley. At lonely place in Mesquite
valley, we found an old wagon bed, a
tire and several old irons, relics of
the famous emigrant train of 1854,
forty people of which lost their lives"
