REVIEW OF TRADE.
Largo Hope but Little Actual Business
Waiting still the Rule.

Waltlng SCul the hule.
NEW YORK, March 14.-R. G. Dun &
Co. Weekly Review of Trade says:
Waiting is still the rule Large hope but
little actual business explains the strength Of
some markets and the weakness Of others.
The feeling that the spring Of 1895 ought to
bring larger business will not suffice to meet
expenses oil the season II the larger business
does not come. 1t is especially noteworthy
that prices OF materials have varied quito
differently from prices OF manufactured pro-
ducts, although in most cases the advance last
fall was commenced by extraordinary uplift-
ing Of prices for materials.
Cotton goods sell but slowly notwithstand.
nous accumulation OF unsold stocks causes APP
prehension in many quarters. In woolens the
demand is very largely for low grade goods
and fierce competition affects the prices Of tho
better grades materially. In clay worsteds
the manufacture has been so far oyerdone that
stoppage OF some most important works is con-
sidered not improbable.
The market for wheat Is weaker, with no
better reason than the government report Of
wheat In farmers hands, which is altogether
out of keeping with the government estimate
q year ago. and yet Is probably more nearly
correct Corn Is q shade firmer, without APP
parent reason, and cotton maintained q six
teenth, although the prospect Of yield this year
Is at least rs good as It has been at any time
Failures for the week have been 800 In the
United States against 266 last year. and 81 in
Canada, against 81 last year.

Transfers Can lie Made In q Few Moments
and the Title IL Assured.
CHICAGO, March 1A-The practical
value of the Torrens realty law has
been demonstrated by the first trans
fer of property that has taken place
under it. The time required for the
whole transaction was less than an
hour, no longer, in fact, than it would
take to transfer certificate of bank
stock from one person to another and
have it duly entered on the books of
the bank. The Torrens law has made
certain changes in the old rules for the
transfer of real estate, declares
what shall be sufficient notice
Of title and the number of years after
which no title can be contested; pro-
tects infants or persons under disa-
bilities who are unable to prosecute a
suit within the time limited, and a
fund is esta blished out of a portion of
the fees paid in to reimburse any losses
such claimants may suffer. A case in
volving the validity of the law will
come before the supreme court on the
18th inst, and the decision will be
looked forward to with general in
terest.

HAzELTON, Pa, March 12.-One Of
the most disastrous accidents that has
ever occurred in the history of the
Delaware, Susquehanna & Schuylkill
railroad happened yesterday afternoon
at Gum Run, when the boiler of a loco
motive attached to coal train ex.
ploded, killing four men and fatally
injuring one other. Low water in the
boiler is supposed to have caused the
explosion. The scene of the accident
is in the heart of the mountains, among
a dense woodland. The only inhabit-
ant at the place is the telegraph oper-
ator. living in the tower. The sound
of the explosion aroused the entire in
habitants of the valley. A fierce snow
storm prevented people from reaching
the spot. The telegraph operator, to-
gether with William Tulley, a surviv-
ing mem Der of the crew, got to work
and, after hard labor, rescued the in
jured from the wreck. Two men were
blown to fragments, while the two
others were horribly torn and mangled.
The engine was completely wrecked,
together with dozen coal cars.
