Bradstrset's Report.

NEW YORK, April 2s.-Brddstreet's to-mor-
row viii say: The feature OF the week is the
continued strength of prices OF staples after
the strik ing advance of preceding weeks. There
is a lrmer undertone in nearly all lines OF
trade, but at a number of points gains In indus
trials are Ia ore marked than in commercial
lines Wooden dress goods mills have secured a
number OF orders for fall delivery, which ac-
count for the moderate activity in the market
for wool Cotton goods are firm on the ad-
vance in cotton and higher wages paid Eastern
mill operatives. At the west, with favorable
weather, although the collections are slow, the
volume OF business remains unchanged. except
at Cincinnati, where there has been a better
demand, and at St. Louis, where the request Is
quite active in dry goods and millinery, and for
cattle and hogs.

Explosion OF Blast Kills n Belt Miner
Was Not Married.
GREAT FALLS. April pa special to
this Office from Belt says: Robert Ruff
funger, a miner, was killed last night by
being struck with q sulphur ball, the re-
suit of blast IN No. 1 mine. He was
standing in the entrance to the room in
which he was working, waiting for the
warning which is customary from the en-
trymen to the effect that they were going
to shoot. The entrymen, instead of warn.
ing him, passed out by the entry above,
when the shot went of. Ruffunger was
struck by q sulphur ball in the right side
below the ribs, decorating the intestines
and passing completely through his
stomach, and lodging against the back
bone. He was standing lis feet away at
the time. Drs. Chamberlain and Winn,
Of Belt, and DR.. Gordon, of Great Falls,
performed an operation in hopes of saw
ing the mans life, but without avail. The
ball weighed four ounces. Ruffunger was
% years old and had been working for
the company about two months. He came
from Ration, N. M, where his parents re-
side. He was unmarried and n member
of the sick, accident and hospital associa-
ton.
The body was embalmed to-day by Un-
dertaker McBratney and will be for
warded to his relatives at Ration, n. NJ,
tomorrow.

PETITION is ENLARGED
Great Falls Business Men Relentless in
Their Efforts to Be Heard.
WANT ALOCAL TRAIN ADDED
Certain It IL That the City 10 De-
serving of RECOGNITION In This
Important Matter. For the
Request Is q Just One.

GREAT FALLS, April 26.-The people
and press of Great Falls are unit in OPP
position to the unjust train schedule
which will 60 into effect on the Montana
Central May 5. Many more names were
obtained to the petition against the
change to-day. The Tribune this morn
ing says editorially:
awhile the schedule has not yet been
made public IL is certain that n change OF
time will go into effect on the Great
Northern May 8, and that tho trains both
east and west will arrive here at most I'M
seasonable hours. The reason for this Is
. radical shortening of time on the mail
line from st. Paul to the sound, and the
Montana Central must be regulated and
adapted to that change. That the new
order Of things meets with disfavor in
this city il natural. Our people feel 1t .
hardship, that. under any circumstances
they should be compelled to submit to the
Inconvenience, but there does not seem
to bc any help for it, SO far. as the through
trains are concerned.
"They have made up their minds that
this cannot be avoided and have decided
to mako the reasonable request of the
Great Northern that the local train which
now runs between Butte and Helena be
extended to Great Falls. A petition to
this effect was being circulated yesterday
and generally signed. As a matter of
fairness and justice this request should
be conceded by the railroad management.
1.-THE Great Falls business, both passen-
ger and freight, is an important item to
the Great Northern system, and much OF
the passenger travel is between here, Hell
ena and Butte and intermediate points.
II Helena aud Butte can be accommo-
dated with day time train the same
facility should be extended Great Falls. +"

THE POSTAL BUSINESS
Large Figures for a Year Of Strikes
and 0.her HindranceS
GREAT FALLS is GROWING
Excepting That Part OF the Year
Wherein Railroad Troubles Ham
dlcapped Progress. a Good
Comparison Is Made.

GREAT FALLS, April 26.-The postoffice
fiscal year commences April 1 and ends
March 81. The salary of the postmaster
and the appropriation for tho next year
are based on the statement of the gross
annual receipts OF ths Office for the pre-
ceding year. Postmaster Wegner has just
finished his annual report and sent 1t in
TO the department. 1t shows the gross re-
ceipts to be $16.445. 20 for the year ended
March 81, 1885, This il only q net gain
over the preceding year OF $110.13. This
small gain in the total IL, however, easily
explained when il il remembered that
the Great Northern strike occurred during
the first quarter of the year, and for about
five weeks there was no business worth
speaking of done by tho postoffice here,
as traffic on the road was at standstill,
and for weeks no mail moved east or west.
The receipts during that quarter fell off
1.159.49 from the figures of the preceding
year. Every other quarter in the year
shows healthy increase over the figures
the quarter during which the strike
occurred for purposes OF compare
son, it appears that the average
increase during the remainder of the year
amounted to more, than IL per cent, the
amount Of the increase being S677 in the
second quarter, 1924 in the third quarter
amp S29s in the last quarter just ended.
The figures are as follows: Gross re-
ceipts. April 1 to June 30. 1893, Si,372.6S;
July to Sept. 30. 1893. s3,453S5; Oct. to

Total, sl6,445.73. Increase in the year
sl10.13. Increase in the last nine months,
S1.269.52.
The postoffice statistics bear out the as
sertion that during the year that is past,
Great Falls has had a healthy growth in
population and business activity, and in
this respect it tallies with the story told
by the school census, the election returns,
the bank statements and all the various
indications on which people are went to
rely in estimating the growth of a city.

Dun's Report.

NEW YORK, April 26.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade, which issues to-mor-
row. will say: Neither the rising speculative
market nor the steady gain in industries has
ceased and IL is wholesome that there are fewer
signs Of hesitation in the productive industries
than in speculative prices. Wages strikes grow
more numerous and cause some trouble and
retail demand lags behind WHOLESALERS and job.
bling purchases behind production In some
branches, but through many conflicting reports
the fact shines out that the industries are gain
ing not with a rush and whrl, but more safely.
Bessemer pig Is lower and sales OF southern pig
not in the market have been largely at 25
cents advanced. Finished products are nearly
all at their lowest price. Wool has sold at the
lowest price on record this week, 16 cents for
Ohio. and cents for years Texas and offers
to clear old stocks before new supplies come
forward to tempt the manufacturers to pur-
chase beyond present needs. Sales Of foreign
s,157, 800 pounds in three weeks OF April. against
1882 800 domestic. makes the total II, 4O9, 500,
against 1853 6iO0 in 1892 and less of course in
1893 and 1894. Demand for dress goods con-
tinues large and improving, but uncertainty in
mems wear goods continues and is somewhat
increased by more numerous strikes. The
failures for the week have been 240 against 179
last year.
