WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
The Business and Financial Situation
According to r. G. Dun &
Co.'s Report.

New YORK, June 8 R. G. Dun &
Cos weekly review of trade tomor-
row will say: The outlook for busi-
ness seems littls better on the whole,
though the improvement is not great.
Moreover, it is impossible to disting
uish between mere replacement of or.
ders cancelled for want of fnel or other
causes and the new business for which
works are anxiously looking. That
cancellations have been heavy is GER
tain, and it is not entirely clear that
orders of equal magnitude have gone
to other works that are able to fill
them.
1t is somewhat encouraging that the
decrease in payments through clearing
houses has been "a per cent. for the
first week Of June, q at new York and
only 10 elsewhere The decrease in
comparison with 1892 is about 30 per
cent. Railroad tonnage is larger than
year ago in live stock and moderate
in cereals. but considerably smal.
Ter in coal aud iron pro.
ducts and in other manufact-
ured goods west-bound. Earnings of
railways indicate that competition for
the scanty traffic results in low rates.
Those returns scarcely warrant ad-
vance in stocks. but the trust stocks
have risen $1.25 per $100 and railroad
stocks 53 cents. Railway re- organiza-
tions make slow progress, but never
theless offer hopes to holders of secur-
tiles 1t is also reasoned that an enor-
nous traffic. which the prolonged
strike has interrupted. will busy the
railroads when the interruption ceases.
With only 1887 coke ovens working
and IA, $50 idle, with the Cambria dis.
charging half it's force. and seven out
of nine of the Carnegie furnaces at
Besaemer out OF blast, the production
and manufacture of iron and steel are
smaller than ut any other time for
years. While it is believed that de-
ferred work will cause heavy produc-
tion after the strike terminates, the de
mand for products is at present much
below general expectations even at the
east.
Exports Of gold have continued,
So, 150, 600 having gone this week and
the treasury gold reserve is now re-
duced to $70,OOO 900. The banks here
continue to receive from the interior
about as much money as they loose by
gold exports, though the crop moving
season is close at hand. Customs re-
ceipts are again 36 per cent. less than a
year ago and internal revenue 23 per
cent. less for the week. Exports OF do
mestic produce have been exceeding
last years a little. The returns OF
failures are still encouraging, 216 in
the United States for the week, against
322 last year and 30 in Canada, against
27 last year

COXEYITES ARE DROWNED.
Fifteen Members of the Denver Con-
tingent Perish Like Rats in
the Platte River.

DENVER, Col. June Sat least fif
teen members of the Denver contingent
of Coxey's army lost their lives by
drowning in the Platte river last night.
Coroner Martin this morning went
down to Brighton with collins. He re-
turned at noon, being unable to secure
any of the bodies. Four have been
washed ashore on the other side Of the
river about eight miles this side of
Brighton at q point known as Mckay q
bridge.
To reach them it would be necessary
to travel about twenty miles out Of the
way, but he expects to recover them
later on. The other men who are miss :
ing have also been drowned and their
bodies carried farther down the river.
One man found drowned at Brighton
has been identified as Charles McCune,
Missourian, o member Of the Utah
contingent
A large number Of the men spent thu
night in the trees along the banks Of
tho river and several were left or
islands. A searching party was sem
out this morning to help these men.
The rauchmen along the banks also
aided a large number of the unfortun-
ates.
The men claim that Commodore Hig
ginson was drunk and lacking all the
essential qualities as leader, and at
tribute the whole disaster to his mis-.
management. The Coxeyites will
make no further attempt to 90 east by
the water route.
