WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW NoRK. April 16.-R. G.. Dun Co.'S
weekly review OF trade says: Business i'm
provement meots many obstacles and Is
scarcely as distinct as IL has been in recent
weeks. Strikes have checked the improve
ment in building and some other trades, and
scarcity OF coke has caused closing OF some
iron works, while q strike OF all bituminous
iron workers is ordered and may prove serious.
More favorable crop reports than were ex-
pected. which justify larger hope for next fall,
have arrested the upward tendency In prices Of
products. The renewal OF gold exports occa-
sions somo disquetude. But the gradual ex-
haustion OF goods in the hands OF dealers
makes the consumption of the people moro dis
tincuy felt, and apparently larger, and thisde
mand increases with tho gain in number OF
hands at work. II cannot be said that uncer-
tainty as 70 the future has materially dimin-
ished, but there Is an evidently growing inn
preston that there will be no important
legislation on the currency or the tariff This
impression, whether erroneous or not. intu-
cnces the action OF many. On the whole,
though progress Is still obstructed by uncer-
taintes. II has not been arrested. The most
cheering sign Is the decrease in importance OF
commercial failures. The failures the past
week have been 2ls in the United States
against 1870 last year, and "a in Canada, against

A Mysterious "Burglary" at Saginaw.

About 50, 900 worth of jewelry and a
number of commercial books were
taken from the safe of the Wells-Stone
Mercantile company of Saginaw. The
affair is shrouded in mystery, but
Newell b. Parsons, manager of the
concern, was arrested on suspicion of
having something TO do with the affair.
He was arraigned and held under
81 900 bail. The evidence against Par
sons is mostly circunstantial, a police
man having seen huge volumes of
smoke issuing from his chimney on the
night of the theft, which smelled like
burning paper and leather. Parsons
was the only one who knew the COM
bination of the lock.
Since the death of the partners of
the firm Parsons has been practically
in charge of the business, which is the
largest in northern Michigan. The
young mans social standing has given
the affair a sensational interest that is
added to by the air of mystery that the
police throw around the matter. The
jewelry belonged TO the families Of the
late partners, f. c. Stone and c. w.
Wells. 1t is alleged that n check for
$1,000 which the company dishonor
was paid by Saginaw bank to Par
sons.

MANY MEN DROWNED.
Fearful Gales Blow Along Old AtIantic's
Shore.


Special from Manasquan, N. j: The
furious gale and high tides which have
prevailed have left their mark all
along the Jersey coast The wind
blew full gale all day, the high seas
roaring and pounding and foaming
with a mighty rage. In the height
and fury of the storm the three-masted
schooner Albert w. Smith, was driven
ashore at point midway between
Seagirt and Manasquan. Less than
half an hour after the vessel
struck she was pounded into lSindling
wood by the seas which broke over
her. Eight men, il is said, composed
the crew none of whom have been seen
since their boat was wrecked and it is
impossible that any man of that crew
has survived to tell the tale of his eX-
perience in the awful gale. The vessel
was of 572 tons burden. She was built
in 1873 at Kcnncbunk, Me-, and was
owned by Albert w. Smith, of Provi-
dencc, II. l., from which place she
sailed. She was bound for Providence
from Philadelphia.

than it had been known in ten years.
At Matawan and Keyport the tide
backed up 10 such an extent that the
meadows surrounding these places are
all inundated and some of the smaller
vessels which have been lying at their
docks have broken loose and drifted
out upon the meadows, so that when
the storm abatcs and the tide falls
they will be left lying high and dry.
Directly opposite the Highland Beach
station the three-masted schooner, the
Kate Markce, came ashore this morn

reported that the entire crew of 12
men were lost, but later reports show
that two of the men were saved.
