lates TO his Wellington College days.
The Prince Consort, attended by a sin
gle equerry, rode over to Wellington,
and arrived just as the doctor was
about to address his boys. The Prince
expressed a wish that the master
should proceed with the address in his
presence. Having with bare head, as
etiquette demanded. shown Prince AL
bert to a seat, he turned to the boys,
and, replacing his hat, began his lee
ture. Just then the equerry went up
and touched him on the elbow. "Dr.
Benson said he, his Royal High
ress is present" Il am proud to know
it," was his reply, and the doctor Sc
renely continued with his interrupted
address. Scarcely had a dozen words
been spoken, however, before the per-
sistent courtier again broke in with,

FINANCE AND TRADE
WEEKLY REVIEW FROM THE
AMERICAN METROPOLIS.

Dun's Report Says That as s. on as the
Conventions Have Met and Adjourn
ed the Prevailing Uncertainty Will
Be Removed-Business Will Pick Up.
New York, June 8.-R. g. Dun q
Co. s weekly review Of trade Gays:
1t is highly suggestive that, with as
little help as there now is from new
business, markets are so nearly main
tanned. Summer is close at hand, and,
with new crops promising well, and
old stocks large, it is no wonder the
farm products are cheap. The fac
tories and mills are still waiting for
the rush of business seen last year,
and, in spite of narrow orders, are at
present generally holding on with
much confidence. 1t is so late that
gold exports no longer alarm, for the
date of the expected returns draws
near. Lower prices this season affect
farmers very little, but the speculators
who have bought from them for rise,
the estimates entitled to most conf.
dence, point to probable yield of 5O0,-
900, 600 bushels OF wheat, which, with
the stock carried over, will clear away
any danger of oppressive charges for
breadstuffs, at the same time giving
producers fair return.
The movement of cattle at the West
is very heavy, at Chicago 10 per cent
greater than last year thus far, and
lard makes new low record, with
enormous stocks accumulated
Thre hardest problem of the day ia
whether iron and steel prices can be
maintained as they have been during
the past week. The nail combine has
failed thus far to win over competitors
who undersell them, and are able to
manufacture 5000 kegs against every
100 by concerns in the combine. The
bar association asks for iron more than
the selling price for steel bars. Open
hearth billets are freely sold at Pitts.
burg below the price asked for Besse,
mer, and middlemen are still selling
Bessemer billets about 81 below tho
price fixed by the pool Naturally the
doubt regarding maintenance of prices
greatly checks the demand for the pres,
ent, but that large demand is certain
and will not be long delayed is one
thing which prevents considerable de.
cline.
Failures for the week were 234 in
the United Sttaes, agains 1875 last year,
and 20 in Canada, against 25 last year.

bruised. The driver was injured in.
ternally and died at o'clock.

THE MOSCOW CRUSH.
The Prefect OF Police Responsible for
the Disaster.

Moscow, June S.-Eye witnesses of
the terrible crush on the Hodynsky
plain Saturday agree that NJ. Vlassov.
sky, prefect of police. is chiefly to
blame for the disaster. He huffiy re.
fused military offers of troops to con.
troi the crowd, declaring that he knew
his own business and that there was no
need of any further fear of accident.
Popular feeling against Vlassovsky is
intense, and his name has become A
curse among the populace, who, armed
with bottles and stones, would have
lynched him the same day upon his ar
rival at the plain if he had not had his
route lined with troops and himself
strongly escorted.
1t appears that during the crush n
number of Cossacks, finding themselves
surrounded, freely used their whips on
the crowd in order to force their way
out. Three were torn from their sad.
dies and were killed and this led to the
flight of the others. A number of peas.
ants were drowned in the vats of beer
