TRADE REVIEW.
Serious Injury to Wheat by Frost
Not Credited.
PORK, CORN and COTTON Higher.
The Iron Industry Gaining Works
Combining Textile Mills Fairly Busy
but Demand for Print Cloths
Weak-Failures.

NEW YORK, MAY 25.-R. G. Dun 4
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade says:
II wheat has been SO greatly injured
by the SHOWS and frosts in May that
the sudden rise Of 10 cents In two
weeks is justified the calamity will
affect all business prospects The
markets do not believe 1t, for stocks do
not COLLAPSE. Iron, leather and hides
still rise, and no holders OF wheat
would sell at so cents, lower
price than had been known
when at this season for thirty years
prior to 1903, II current reports were
credited. Some injury has undoubted.
ly been sustained, but our own dis
patches do not show that 1t is really Sc.
rious. The temper Ia TO buy, regardless
Of the visible requirements, In the faith
that prices are sure to rise. Western
receipts OF wheat for three weeks
have been larger than last year in
spite OF storms and frosts But the rise
has practically stopped buying for
export as the similar rise did In April,
1904, which was followed by about the
lowest price then ever known.
Whether grain has been greatly in
jured or not foreign markets will take
early occasion TO fortify themselves
from other sources. The weeks sales
here have amounted to $4,000, 900
bushels, and accounts OF damage
by frost and by insects are
90 mixed up that some traders
think the bugs must wear overcoats
Corn rose az cents during the week,
though much OF the corn killed may
be replanted; pork rose 80 cents per
barrel; lard s cents per 100 pounds, and
oats . cents per bushel Cotton also
advanced :. OF n cent during tho
week, with sales Of 1850, 200 bales
current estimates putting the de.
crease in acreage at 1876 per cent.
and the crop at 7,3j0,0OO. Even
this with known commercial and
spinners' stocks, would give the world
for the year and quarter to consume
more American than IL has ever con.
sumed in a year and half. The iron
industry distinctly gains, and the i'm.
provement Is no longer confined to
prices of materials. Better wages at
and west of Pittsburgh convince buy
ers that prices must rise, and there
have been larger sales Of finished
products, with about 81 per ton
better prices for structural forms
and steel bars, while l'esscmcr

FROM THE RAILROAD VIEW
Vice-President Stubs Talks of
Fruit Growers Profits
DEFENDING THE MONOPOLY
A Lengthy Reply Made by the Southern
Pacific Company
Stubs Claims That the Company Wishes
to See Fruit Growers Prosperous.
Transportation interests

San Francisco, March 8.-J. @. Stubbs,
third vice president Of the Southern Pa
cifc, has addressed lengthy communica-
tion to Frank III. Buck and others, in re-
ply to their letter as the committee on
transportation, appointed in the recent
convention of fruit growers. Mr.. Stubbs
thinks the publication or the statements
made by the committee was unwise and
more calculated to retard than advance
the prosperity of the fruit growers, the
transportation interests and the state.
Mr.. Stubbs takes issue with the commit
tee, stating that it alleged as normal, the
extraordinary conditions of 1893 and 1894,
when every industry was depressed and
when there was little fruit consumed, be-
cause people could not afford to pur-
chase it,
Using figures furnished by the commit
tee as basis, Mr.. Stubbs computes the
net profit to the California fruit growers
of $27. .S5 per acre and asks what producer
in any state, or merchant, manufacturer
or railroad company within the state
made such return on capital invested in
1894. Mr.. Stubbs wishes the acreage profit
had been $500 per acre net, and if it had
been he says charges for transportation
for fruit East would not be increased.
He enters a general disclaimer to the

southern city and made her acquaintance
and mutual attachment sprang up. In
April of last year he sued for and received
her promise of marriage. Soon after his
business called him East and for a while
he wrote very loving letters to his prom
ised bride. Presumably, however,, some
other fair charmer crossed his path and
his letters grew more frigid. At last he
requested to be released from his promise
of marriage. Marie did not want to
sever the connection, but agreed to. meet
him in San Francisco to discuss matters.
Here Burroughs secured room
and concealed few witnesses
therein. He then had a conference
there with the young lady, and tried to
have her make some proposition that
would give him grounds for charge of
blackmail. Miss Wilson did not take the
bait and the meeting was fruitless. Bur-
roughs' business called him about the
state, never stopping more than two or
three days in one town. and Marie stuck
to his trail. About week ago Burroughs
came to this city and commenced an
engagement as auctioneer in leading
jewelry store. A few days later Marie
and her mother came to town, and yester-
day having despaired of the tickle lover
repenting, the suit was commenced. Miss
Wilson says she does not want the money
she wants Burroughs. Burroughs claims
she wants to blackmail him.

CRASHED INTO A BRIDGE
A Death-DeaIing Accident Befalls
Big Steamer
Several Lives Known to Have Been Lost,
But the Passenger List Went
Down With the Vessel

Cincinnati, O., March S.-David AID
redge, Rome, n. Y. ]. NJ. Carter, New
port KY, clerk; Augustus Chauvot New
Orleans, barkeeper; James Miller Gin
cinnat, colored porter; unknown young
woman.
This is the death list so far as known
from today's river disaster in which the
magnificent New Orleans steamer Long
fellow was crushed on bridge pier ana
sunk in less than five minutes.
Unfortunately the complete list may
never be known. All the records of the
steamer were lost with it and no pas
senger list is ever left ashore. For hours
there were rumors of the loss of an in
valid young woman from New York ac-
companied by female physician, but the
constant assertion of the officers of the
steamer that all the passengers were res
oued except Mr.. AAldrcdge, and the state
ment of passengers that there was no
panic or wild rushing for safety, led to
the hope that the rumor was groundless.
Later in the afternoon, in a portion OF
the wreckage that had been landed some
distance below the city, the body of a
young woman was found. She was wear
ing a satin night dress and black skirt
was about her form, as if she had been in
the act of dressing. A small satchel was
in her hand, but it contained nothing to
identify her. The accident was one of
peculiar horror. 1t was daylight, the fog
had disappeared. The great steamer,
fearful of the peril OF passing the
bridge piers, had been given the
assistance of the powerful towboat Her
cules Carroll. When almost upon the pier
the pilot found himself confronted with
an alarming condition. The powerful
cross currents which no human foresight
could have located, caught the long
steamer like a toy and turned the boat
away from the course he had given it.
At the same time the smoke from the
lower chimneys which had been let down
to allow the boat to pass under the
bridges, was wholly obscuring the vision.
The Hercules Carroll pilot, bling To-
Gated almost behind the great st Gamer,
was also unable to see the boats position
and more likely it was not strong enough
to turn it's course against the treacherous
current, and so the fated Longfellow was
carried like helpless thing against the
pier and crushed into wreck. So quick
was the work of destruction that in five
minutes not a vestige of the steamer was
visible except bits of wrecIage The car
penter had time to go into the hold with
a lantern from whence he quickly re-
turned with the report that nothing could
save the Longfellow from immediate Sink

and not satisfied with going after the
business of companies outside the COM
pact, certain of the members are kniting
one another. 1t is growing daily more
difficult to hold the men together, and
the trouble between the Sun of San Fran
cisco, and the German American, both
board companies. is now making serious
inroads into the harmony of the board.
At least one member of the board
agrees with the outsiders that the new
compact is likely to go to pieces very soon
Perhaps the strongest indication of the
present dissatisfaction among the board
companies is the attitude of the English
concerns. They are not happy by any
means, and movement is under consid-
Grafton for them to move out of the COM
pact in body and form an offensive or
ganization of their own. There are about
twenty-one of the English companies rep
resented in this city, SO that they form

A DOUBLE DIVORCE
Sensational Developments Promised in Case
at Fresno
ing.

Fresno, CAL, March s.-The double
divorce suit, first of Mrs. Lillian Denicke
against Major Martin Denicke, and later
of Major Denicke against his wife, seems
to be thing of the past, notwithstand-
ing it was expected that there wo uld be a
hard fight in the courts for the property
interests, which are considerable. Major
and Mrs. Denicke were married seven
months ago. He was 60 and she 20. Later
she sued for separation on the ground
of extreme cruelty, alleging that he at
tempted to chastise her. Then he sued
her and charged cruelty and adultery.
For some reason on which the public
as not been enlightened, his suit against
her was dismissed and there were rumors
tn at settlement has been made. But
her suit against him came TO trial and
evidence was introduced.
Judge Risley denied the application for
a divorce and gave as one of the reasons
that all the evidence showed that his
acts of cruelty were sufficient to entitle
her to a divorce, yet she had condoned
the offenses in the eyes of the law by for
giving him when he pleaded with her for
forgiveness and living with him again,
although their reconciliation was of
short duration.

charge that the railroad company has
been responsible in any manner
for the hard times which the
fruit growers have experienced. Referring
to the committees statement that there
has been no reduction in the freight
charges on green fruit for several weeks
he admits this but states that there has
been very great increase in the amount
and cost of service performed by the rail
road companies without any adequate in
crease in the charge. He says that the
rat of $1.25 per 100 pounds to Chicago
averaged one cent per ton per mile,
which is less than the current rates
charged for carrying the fruit prodcuts of
Florida and the Southern states to Chica-
CO. although the latter route is over level
roads, cheaply operated, while the Cali
fornia fruit is taken across five mountain
ranges, the line having no local business
and the operating expenses high. Com
ing directly to the statement of the desires
of the committee and the conclusions OF
the company thereon, Mr.. Stubbs says:
First-The Southern Pacific will under
take negotiations with its connections to
establish five day schedule for ventilated
cars in train loads, and seek to insure the
prompt and regular dispatch of fruit from
all points on its line.
Second-The Southern Pacific Company
is not responsible for the refrigerator
charges of refrigerator companies and de-
clines to assume any responsibility IN
that direct on. This is matter which
fruit growers and shippers must handle
for themselves directly with the refrig-
orator companies.
Third-The request for rate to Chi.
cago on ventilated cars for eignt-day SER
vice is not favorably considered, previous
experience with an eight day service fol
ventilated cars proving unsatisfactory
Excessive dead weight as compared
with paying load of refrigerator cars will
if possible be reduced.
Fourth-Carloadl lots of fruit for Eastern
shipment cannot be hauled to points on
the main line from branch line points on
the basis of through rates instead of Local
rates.
Fifth-Not more than ten tons of cher
ries can be properly loaded in the standard
refrigerator cars. Under ordinary condi-
tions cherries properly packed and shipped
can better stand the rate of $1.25 per loo
pounds than heavier and more hardy
fruits.
Sixth-The request that mixed carloads
of dried and canned fruits and nuts be ac.
cepted, each variety paying its own rate,
| is denied.
Seventh--The request for an emergency
rate of rs cents on the raisin crop OF 1875
| because of ''the woeful depression" OF the
| .;e;,, stru S rpfu col Rates
raisns have been reduced 20 per cent
within the last two years. The depression
| in the raisin industry is not caused by or
| incidental to the transportation charge,
but is due to the unreasonable competi-
| ton among our own producers.

honors were even, although throughout
the contest Critic showed his superiority,

Round four-Griffo led and landed
lightly. Dime led three times and missed.
Critic let out his left and nearly foored

head and got two severe punches on the
ear. Dime rallied and got in two punches
on Griffo's breast. Critic landed twice.
Dime looked sick.
Round six-Dime opened with his left
and missed twice. Dime got in on re-
covery and Critic replied with three quick
left-hand punches landing each time on
Dimes mouth, and followed this up with
three others. Dime was groggy.
Round seven-Griffo landed with the
right for the wind and followed with the
left on the mouth. Dime got in right

They spared for wind until the close of
the round, with Critic smiling.
Round eight-The last round opened
with Dime leading for Griffo's wind, in
which he got a terrific smash on the jaw.
Critic lodged a left-hander and got caught
with the right. Dime led again but
missed and was nearly foored by left
hand punch in the jaw. Dime got in two
right-handers on Griffo's head Just as the
gong sounded.
