NEW York, July 9.-Bradstreet's SAYS:
Aside from the intervention of holiday,
there is II sharp restriction of general
trade and industrial production, due to
railway troubles west of the Alieghanies
and north of the Ohio river, which ex-
tend west and southwest to the Pacific
coast. and make their influence felt in all
other directions. The combined railroad
strike and boycott has had steadily in
crcasing damaging Influence upon the
general industrial situation. Calcutta
lions as to the number of men out are
necessarily not complete but there is lit
tie doubt that the total number WILL as
n result OF this railway tie-up, far exceed
the outcome Of any previous labor
trouble in this country. All cereals ex-
ccpt wheat have shown n decided adj
vance in prices. Pork and lard are up
sharply, rs are fruits, vegetables, meats
and other perishable produce Pig iron
west il commanding - cents more per
ton, and cattle, hogs and sheep are no.
ticeably higher even mt far western mar
kcts, where receipts are estricted.
Little Improvement in the East.
At the larger eastern centers there is no
material gain in the situation beyond u
speculative squirt in wool, which increased
the volume of sales of same at Boston to IA
total four times us large as that reported
IN the week year ago. Six New Eng
land cities shipped 10000 cases of shoes
last week, against 10000 in the week Il
year ago, while Boston's receipts of hides
were $4,000 Of all varieties. compared
with 2i,, 900 in the week year ago. One
OF the largest cotton manufacturing
corporations in Rhode Island has CLOSED!
down for n week, and other cotton mills
continue to pile up stocks. Aside from
the increase in restriction of trade at
lfttsburg, due to the railway situation.
there is Il revival in the demand for billets
for future delivery Mt SO Baltimore re-
ports quite an unsatisfactory trade,
wholesale dry goods dealers being the
more iavorab,y situated. Reports from
Philadelphia are that the volume and re-
suits OF business III nearly all lines are
very unsatisfactory. Trade is 70 better at
Buffalo: If anything lake business is even
less active.

DIDN'T Reach Trinidad.

The Fremont county coal miners, finding 1t
impossible to secure transportation out OF
Florence, started on Saturday afternoon 80
walk. They reached Pueblo that evening,
but found little prospect of getting to Rouse
or Trinidad unless they walked. This they
decided TO be too great an undertaking, and
Sunday afternoon they boarded the empty
passenger coaches which the Rio Grandc al
lowed them to occupy and were taken back
to Florence.
Very hard times are predicted for the coal
camps Of Fremont county in tho very near fu-
turc. Many of the miners had only sufficient
work during the winter to keep them. They
have been out OF work now one month"; SO that
even now many must be dependent upon
charity and what little money Is raised at other
camps and sent In.
The largest mine in the county, No. at
Rockvale, this week discharged Its clerical
force. which looks as II It did not expect to
resume soon even II the miners should want
to go back 10 work.
Business men at Coal Creek arc very de.
spondent. The local paper, which has been
published continuously for fifteen years, has
been compelled to suspend publication. Hard
times are on for the coal miners Of Fremont
county.

The whalo Fishery,

The whale fishery was at ono time
an enormous industry in the United
States. 1t reached its heighs in
1854. when 6O2 ships and barks,
twenty-eight briggs and thirty-eight
schooners. with total tonnage OF
208.3 were engaged in it. By 1875
the fleet had dwindled down to 1863
vessels, and it is doubtful If fifty are
now at sea- The introduction OF
kerosene and the increasing scarcity
OF whales seem to be the causes OF
this decline. Some remarkable voy-
ages were made in the old days.
The Pioneer, Of New London, sailed
in June, 1864. for DAVIS strait and
Hudson's bay, returning in Septem-
ber. 1865, with 1891 barrels of oil
and 22,650 pounds Of bone, valued at
$15OO0O. In 1S47 the Envoy. OF
New Bedford. was sold to be broken
up. but her purchaser refitted her
and she made a voyage worth $132,-

made five years. voyage and on her
return the captains lay was only

whose vessel returned from q three
years voyage as clean as she went
out, remarked: "She amt got barl

An Old Railroad Man.

William NJ Reed, who died in Co.
Gil county. Maryland. the other day
at the age OF 30 years, became fifty
four years ago an cmploye OF the
Newcastle and Frenchtown railroad.
one of the earliest railroads built in
this country. The line was an i'm
portant link in the route from New
York and Philadelphia to Washing
ton, and before there were railroads
it was turnpike with numbering
coaches that sometimes occupied
many hours in making their journey
OF about sixteen miles. Then came
tramwav with horse-drawn cars.
and at length true strap-iron rail.
way with queer little cars and en-
gines. Reed remained an employe
OF the company till tho building of
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore railway brought the aban-
donment OF the older route. The
embankment Of the abandoned line
still runs, a green ridge. through
many miles Of cultifT7cc.ed- farm land.

A aIiracu,ou. Escape.

Owen Ellis had a fall Of 40 feet in the
shaft of the Denver Coal Company's mine at
Tindale, near Golden, Friday morning, and
still lives to tell the story. What is more re-
markablc is the fact that his health seems
but little the worse for this exciting expert
ence. A few bruises apparently represent the
sum total OF all the injuries. Mr.. Ellis was
employed around the mouth Of the shaft,
which is divided into three compartments,
two of which arc partially covered over. In
looking into the main shaft to watch the
hoisting of the cage, he slipped upon board
covering one Of the other compartments. The
board gave way and Mr.. Ellis went with 1t.
His first stop was on muddy platform 170
feet below, where he arrived without once
touching the sides of the shaft.
A few weeks since ]. w. secrlst fell 13O
feet in the same shaft and was almost instant
ly killed. That Ellis should fall forty feet
more than this and yet escape serious injury
may be regarded as almost miracle.

6tEiAoEA
In the mass meeting Of the coal miners of
Fremont county held on the hrst Of May, agi-
tators were instructed to go to New Castle,
Boulder and to all mines working in the
southern part of tho State to urge those min
ers to quit These men went to tho places
mentioned, as directed, but their efforts have
been unavnillng. Recently tho leaders OF the
strike decided to send q larger delegation Of
miners to urge strike.
Accordingly on Friday night miners began
to arrive in florence from the coal camps Of
Coal Creek, Rockvale, Williamsburg and
Chambers, until 600 men were congregated
at the Rio Grande depot awaiting the arrival
of a freight train, which they intended to
board in body and compel the train men to
carry them to Pueblo, and from there by the
same method they expected to go to Huerfano
and Las Animas counties, where several
thousand miners from all sections of the State
will congregate for the purpose Of compelling
the miners In every southern coal camp to
quit work.
The gang is made up chiefly of Italians and
AustrIans and each man carries small pack
age of lunch.
The Rio Grande officials decided not to al
low their trains to be captured II they could
help it, and no trains stopped ut Florence
Friday night or Saturday. 1t is said that
therc arc $50 deputy sheriffs in charge Of the
mines In Las Animas county, a force sufiici-

opinion, to amply guard their interests in the
district.
Thursday night about 400 striking coal
miners went from Engle and soprs through
Trinidad to Berwlnd and Hastings to compel
the miners there to cease work. A sheriif's
posse with injunctions and Winchester rifles
met them and they dispersed without any
violence.
