The State OF Trade.

NEW YORK, October 1.-R. G. Dun d Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Special inquiry has been made this week
Of retail trade Wide diversity appears in
different trades. The main facts disclosed
are:
First-Marked improvement within the
past month and a considerable excess over
the business done year Ego, particularly in
the necessarles of life.
Second-It appears that the volume of
trade at present IS on the whole considerably
less than in normal year, at most points.
and in the more important trades Is appar-
emily about 20 per cent smaller than IN Sep
tenn Der. 1892.
Evidence of continued improvement in
wholesale trade and manufacture does not
appear this week. There is large distribu-
ton of orders given some time ago, but new
business going to the manufacturers is every
where slackening. The completion of or
ders for replenishment of stocks leaves a
narrower demand and it is yet too early for
consumption to provide further orders.
The depression IN prices of farm products
will have some Influence. Unprecedented
records have been made in cotton and wheat,
though as to wheat only in contracts for fu-
ture delivery, in which the prices are the
lowest ever made. The available stocks are
about 10, 100000 bushels greater than year
ago, and western receipts for the week were
5,252, 716 bushels. against 6 6,191 ,034 last year
and since August l, 51,O00,000 bushels against
38, 100000 last year. The Atlantic exports
for the week and since August 1, have been
about a third smaller than last year, but
the fail in prices during the week has been
LIS cents. Cotton Oh the spot IS lower at
6.44 cents than at any other time since 1849,
and quotations then did not mean what
they do now, while the nearest option has
been quoted at 6.04 cents, which is below all
previous records. Even at the close the fall
for the week is one-quarter. An estimate of
9,600.000 bales minimum this year has in
fiuenced the market, but would receive less
attention if stocks in sight We're not heavy,
while all agree that this crop is likely to ex-
ceed the worlds records of American cot
ton.
It is encouraging that the speculation in
corn has broken, and the price has fallen
cents, less gloomy estimates than those Of
the department having gained general Gre
dence. 1t is now supposed that the yield
is not far from 1.5O0.000000 bush
els. which will compel muoh economy in
feeding, but speculation in pork has broken
and the price has fallen rs cents, while lard
has declined half cent.

II the Starm-


The Morgan line steamship Eldorado ar
rived at New York from New Orleans light
hours overdue. Her delay was caused by 4
struggle with the tornado, into which she
ran off the southern coast of Florida. Cap
tam Percy had been warned of the approach
ing storm previous to leaving port by a
sudden drop IN the barometer, but decided
to chance it.
The wind howled through the rigging at a
30 knot clip and everything movable on
deck had to be doubly lashed. The rain fell
continuously and in torrents. Captain Percy
never changed the vessels course and at
daylight he found he had weathered the
storm and was on the edge of the tornado.
At this point, however, the wind veered and
followed along in the wake of the flying
steamer.
1T kept right along with US though" said
the captain, land followed US right up to
the Highlands. We kept on the verge of it.,
however, and it simply firted with US all the
way up. The torrents of rain continued to
fall throughout it all. l have been in storms
before where the velocity of the wind was as
great, but never before experienced such a
continuous fall OF. rain. 1t was like a cloud
burst.
Just before reaching Hatteras the light
ming commenced to flash and streak after
streak chased each other across the sky for
forty-eight hours. Some of the flashes were
SO close that l thought we should be struck
The passengers had a sorry five days trip of
it. They we're housed most of the time and
many were sick the greater portion of the
passage"
Captain Percy says that any steamers
which were twenty-four hours behind him
must have Jared very badly. for they would
be IN the very center of the storm.

A Valuable Life Wasted

Robert L. Campbell was shot and instantly
killed between sundown and dark near his
fathers home. ten miles east of Topeka. He
was out hunting, and the shooting was acci-
dental. He was % years old, and was the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. r. Campbell. ano
nephew of County Com missioner Campbell.
After he came home from work he took
his shotgun and went to hunt rabbits. Just
before dark his father heard two shots IL
house, but nothing was thought of it until
dark when the young man did not come
home. His parents then became uneasy and
started to hunt for him. They were not sue
cessful for some time and the neighbors were
called in. At 9 o'clock young Campbell
was found 200 yards from the house. He
was dead. The entire top of his head had
been carried away by the discharge of the
gun. One leg was fast to a wire fence and
it is supposed that in attempting to cim b
over the fence the hammers of the gun
caught on a wire. dischaTging it. EThe
wound had the appearance that the loads
from both barrels had struck the unfortunate
young man.
dead rabbit was found where he was
found and another was lying twenty feet
away. and it was thought he was cIim bing
over the fence to get the second rabbit when
he was killed.
The victim of the accident attended Wash
burn college last year, and spent the sum-
mer at the state normal. He had intended
to teach the home school in district 63.
He was young man of great promise, and
never made an enemy.
