REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YoRK.-Duns review Of trade says:
Things look better because IL is believed that a
new loan will be negotiated. There was need
for relief since January closed with the heav-
lest exports OF gold ever made IN any month
and the heaviest withdrawal of gold from the
treasury, s43. 46S, los. the hope OF new loan
being the one thing which has lifted prices AT
ALL January leaves behind IL the lowest aver
age OF prices for all commodities ever known.
Industrial operations have not materially d.
mnished though 10 has been disappointing
mouth because the general revival expected
has not como. The continuing drift OF money
TO New York shows scanty commercial demand
i'm interior and no Improvement appears here IN
commercial loans. In short. business Is still
waiting and finds reason for hesitation in the
condition OF ths treasury. Speculation has not
favored producers Iron and steel look less
encouraging ut the east and the demand Is DIS
appointing. but prices are not weaher. Az
Pittsburg and the west larger demand appears.
Textile manufacturers cannot score improve
the United States, against 80 last year. and 81
in Canada against 90 last year.

About $50 People Drowned by the sinking
of the Steamer EIbe In "A Collision with
the Steamer Crathie In the North Sea-
Only About Score Were Saved.

London: The North German Llovd
steamer Elbe, Capt. VonGossel, from
Bremen for New York, via. Southamp-
ton, was sunk in collision with the
British steamer Crathie, in the North
sea, 80 miles off the Hoek van Holland.
The Elbe had between $50 and 400 souls
aboard, of whom but "a were saved.
Barely 20 minutes elapsed between the
collision and the sinking of the Elbe,
and all the passengers were asleep
when the shock came.
Surviving officers report that the
Elbe was proceeding along at her usual
rate of speed and keeping the ordinary
lookouts. The night was dark, there
was cold wind and "a choppy sea, but
no gale. Suddenly the forward look
out reported that the lights of Il
steamer were close aboard over the
port bow. Before the course of the
Elbe could be changed the steamer
struck her just about the engine room,
going through her plates as though
they were pasteboard and striking her
nose almost completely through the
hull of the Elbe. The officer in charge
of the ship at once saw that she was
doomed and gave hurried orders to
clear away the life boats for launching.
Three of the lifeboats were cleared
and lowered, but one of them capsized
and all but one of the occupants were
drowned, The first boat contained
the third officers, chief engineer, pur-
ser and about II passengers. These
were picked up by the fishing smack
Wildiiower and taken to Lowestoft.

Reports were sent out from Chicago
and South Chicago that the hull of the
lost steamer Chicora had been seen a
few miles out in the lake with moving
figures aboard. This information was
telegraphed TO the grieving friends at
Benton Harbor and st. Joseph, and
their hopes were raised to high de-
gree. But, sad TO say, the report was
not substantiated upon investigation.
Two tugs from Chicago secured the
lower end of Lake Michigan and all
they could discover which in any way
resembled the hull of ship was line
of dark icebergs, with a multitude of
gulls flying about.

Maynard on Contract Convict Labor.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Maynard has an
altogether different conception of his
duty than that which marked the
course of his. predecessor, ex-Attorney-
General Ellis. For this reason he has
summoned H. S. Greece and j. l.. Petit
bone to show cause why the suit com
menced Dec. 81, 1894, by Ellis against
the state prison authorities should not
be discontinued. Ellis filed a bill to
enjoin the prison officials from carry
ing out contract entered into last
September with the Derby Cycle COM
pany of Chicago for the labor of rs
convicts for a period of five years, his
claim being that the law of 1898 made
no provision for contracting the labor
of prisoners. Maynard says it is not
his duty 60 attack the laws of the
state, but tosustain them.

SAN FRANCISCO. October 2e.-Ths
close of the arguments for the defense in
the trial of Theodore Durant to-day was
marked by the greatest crowd that ever
fought for admission to a murder trial in
this city. General Dickinson resumed his
argument for the defense and concluded
his remarks at noon. The only significant
feature of his remarks was the suggestion
that Miss Lamont was probably murdered
by two men instead of one.
When Attorney Deuprey appeared at tha
afternoon session to make the closing ar
gument for the defense, he was accom-
panied by his wife, nurse and his ply
Slclan. He looked weak from the effects
of his recent Illness and the permission OF
the court was given him TO address the
jury while seated. Duprey's impaired
physical condition was apparent in his ar
gument, which was disappointment 10
the large crowd who fought their way into
the court room to hear him. Attorney
Duprey said that Durant was an innocent
victim OF circumstances and begged the
jury to right the great wrong that had al
ready been done the prisoner by acquit-
ting him as speedily as possible. He at
tackled the testimony of the prosecution
witnesses in the same manner that Gen.
eral Dickinson did. All Of the witnesses
VINO sWore they saw Durant and Miss La
mont going toward Emanuel Church were
mistaken. No evidence had been intro
duced which he believed established the
fact that Durant strangled Miss Lamont.
The same amount of energy directed to-
wards casting suspicion upon Rev. John
George Gibson, he believed, would have
developed as strong a case against the
clergyman. At the same time, Mr.. Du-
prey expressed the belief that the reverend
gntleman had no connection with the
