TRADE REVIEW.
The Years Business Much Affected

The Years Business Much Affected
by the Crops.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-R. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, to- NOR
row will say:
The years business will be much af-
fected by the crops and most hopeful es-
Inmates falls below full yield. except for
corn, larger stocks than were i'm medi-
ately wanted having been taken by trad
ers as prices were advancing, and th ese
tend to limit future orders. The general
advance in many products also cause re-
luctance to purchase, and the distribution
of the past year has been in part to max @
up for stocks and individual supplies de-
pleted during two years of economy. on
the other hand, there has been enormous
increase in the working force and con-
siderable increase in wages paid. which
enables people to buy more freely.
Apprehension of money disturbance
has been quite pushed aside. Strikes Of
some Importance appear, but do not yet
threaten 10 last long, though q strike of
coal miners may for time affect business
somew hal extensively. The hopeful spirit
prevailing in nearly all markets may
find its warrant in spite of some shortage
in crops.
Railroad earnings for July, thus far re-
ported, are 26.o per cent. larger than last
year. but l4.3 per cent smaller than IN
1892, the loss being mainly west OF the
Mississippi. East bound tonnage from
Chicago for four weeks has been Dis, S63,

about B per cent. All the indications
show midsummer lassitude
For the first time since the rise in
prices of iron products again there have
been some concessions to retain busi-
ness, and efforts OF new works to get or
ders tend to check the advance. In spite
of this, the general average of prices is
shade higher, bar iron having risen reia-
lively mora than mill iron has declined.
The market for pig is quiet. and, on the
whole, remarkably strong, with the pros
pect OF increased output. Finished pro-
ducts are generally strong. with more
demand than can at present be met for
plates and for bar.

largest in July for several years. reck-

who arrived here to-day, reports that
Beaver Island is all afre. Wednesday
night the island was enveloped in flames,
which could be seen by passing vessels
for many miles out into Lake Michigan.
The inhabitants. who are employed in
fishing and numbering, number about
100. The island is fifty miles away from
the mainland, and it is not believed that
aid could have been secured in time to
to save life and property.
Beaver Island is the largest in the
group of islands near the Straits of Mack
inaw, and on this island, many years
ago, James j. Strang, the Mormon
prophet, attempted to establish Mormon
kingdom, which failed upon his death.
His body is buried on the island. The
capital of his kingdom was st. James, at
the northern extreme of the island. The
land is very fertile, and in parts is heavily
wooded. Farming aud numbering are
carried on to some extent, but fishing is
the principal industry. Five vessels stop
at the island, but vessels bound through
the Straits of Mackinaw frequently pass
in sight of the islands.
