THE PRIZES AWARDED

Washington has certainly experienced no
dearth of masked events during the past
winter. There have been fancy dress balls
galore. and, in years gone by. sleighing car
nivals on the avenue However, in the
neighborhood of 1000 persons last evening
had the privilege of witnessing an enter
tainment as unique as any ever attempted
in the city. 1t was the ice carnival given
for the benefit of the Home for Incurables
at Convention Hall, the largest !nclosed IN
door ice surface in the world, and was in
every particular complete and gratifying
success-so much SO that Manager Towers
has decided to repeat the carnival Saturday
evening.
1t was by all means a gala occasion at the
ice palace. Special decorations in the way
of immense flags of all nations were sus-
pended from the arched ceiling in six rows,
diverging from the center. and around the
sides of the ice boxes had been constructed.
the partitions draped with bunting. Flower
stands. with attendants in bright-colored
gowns were situated near the entrance, and
over the whole myriads Of :ncandescent
electric lights, with vari-colored globes, shed
a soft glow.
Society was out in force. Every box was
filled, and every chair on the main floor and
in the gallery held an occupant, while scores
were unable to find seats. Several of the
foreign legations, including that Of China,
were represented.

WEEKLY REVIEWS OF FL
NANCE AND COMMERCE.
The USUAL MIDSUMMER DULLNESS.
General Trade in Commercial and Indus
trial Lines is Duler-The Business
Failures for the Past Six Months
Break the Record.

New York, July 3.-Bradstrcct's to-
morrow will say:
General trade in both commercial ana
industrial lines is dullcr, but the lall-
ing is in part the usual midsummer dull
ness.
Comparatively few changes are noted,
but most of them are decreases either III
-orice or demand. Quotations for wheat,
indian corn, cotton, oats, iron ana steel
are lower. Sugar has reacted after the
decline last week; leather remains conspic-
uously firm with shoe factories busily en-
ployed, and petroleum and anthracite coal
higher. The sentiment of the trade at
many points is that the immediate out
look for business is not favorable. At
some western centcrs complaint is made
that the purchasing power of the agricuI-
tural community is curtailed by prolonged
low prices for farm products. The gener-
NJ situation shows no renewal Of activity.
The apparent improvement in wool has
disappcared Manufacturers refuse TO
buy raw materials simply because it is
CHEAP. Excessive dizziness marks dry
goods, although this is the usual period
for stock taking Cotton mills controlling
100000 spindcs have agreed to curtail
production.
A large amount of wooden machinery re-
mains idle, and the iron and steel indus
tries are as Hat rs heretofore.
General trade throughout the Canadian
dominion has been smaller in volume,
partly in consequence of the holidays on
She first instant.
business failures in the United States
for six months number 1902, the largest
six months total since records have been
compiled The increase compared with
1885 and 1894 respectively, is more than
1000 in each instance, - and IL per cent.
Total liabilities are S10J, 80, 900. This
has been exceeded only twice before in like
periods. in the panic years of 1881 and
1893. The ir6reasc in total liabilities over

SUGAR BOUNTY CLAIMS.

Washington, July 1.-The commissions
cr of internal revenue today began sched-
uling to the auditor of the treasury the
approved claims under the $5,O00.000 ap-
preparation for the payment of sugar
bounty claims, and it is expected all of
them will be in the hands of the auditor
before the close of the week. There yet
remain two or three claims unadjusted
and it is not thought that the issue of
warrants in payment of those already adj
justed will be delayed on that account.
1t is probable payment will be made on
u basis of 60 per cent, which would leave
fraction of Il cent on the dollar to be re-
tanned until the final settlement. The
amount of the claims under the appro-
priation is $7639,3S3.

posse which had been chasing him all
day.
Both the officer and prisoner were
quickly overtaken, however, and las
soed In spite of the threats and re-
mOnstrances of Dewitt he was disarmed
and Berry was taken away. After keep

DIN g. CO.'S REVIEW.

New York, july Ok. u. Dun ~ 70. >
weekly which issues tomorrow, Will say:
Current movements have been so large
" of a temporary character or else pure
Nv speculative and the day-by-day plan
show that they are not highly instruc-
tive. Thus an extensive shut down of
cotton mills is solely in the hope that
half production in July and August may
clear largely ovcrstocked market.
Stock fluctuations We're still more ephe-
neral. including two sharp declines and
partial rallies within II week, both Ia
'p,'iously ascribed to various political
causes. but mainly due to keen opera
tors who saw Il chance for Il quick turn.
Extended views of the half years Opcr-
ations in the old branches of manufac-
ture go far to explain numerous stop
pages In woolcns they are without con-
icert mills waiting for orders, the sales
of wool having been not third OF last
years for the same week. Prices are de-
pressed. but still depend ON foreign pos
sibilitios. In cotton goods the close of
nany mills. both north and south, for
half of July and August is in effect Il
recognition of the fact that heavy stocks
of goods manufactured from cotton,
costing between Z II and SIZE could
be expected to show profits if the mills
20 on manufacturing until II new and
probably heavy crop of cotton is ready.
i'm. reduction Of prices has brought out
n large demand in many cases. but not
enough TO meet the output of the mills.
\ futhor decline in print cloths to &c
rs insignificant when such Il decrease in
production is assured.
The output of iron has largely decrcas-
ad and there is Il quite general stoppage
Of works for repairs, but the annual CON
troverscS about wages have III most
. cases been settled and it is believed will
tbe settled in all without strikes. The
problem whether prices for coke. ore and
billets established by the combinations
for the year can he maintained against
decreasing demand for finished products
would be simplificd if there was no com
hination in nails, rails and some other
finished products.
Wheat declined I 1-2c and recovered
| lie but yesterdays receipts continued
remarkably large-2.441,719 bushels
against S41 $40 bushels last year for the
same week. Atlantic exports show n
similar increase and for the five weeks,
-four included. have been 9,S47. 6TS bush
els against 5.955,427 bushels last year.
The stocks in sight are better than II
year ago and the winter wheat yields
less. spring wheat seems only with fair
weather TO yield more than last year
oCrn promises remarkably well and
also oats.
Cotton generally needs rain in parts
of Texas, but the best reports come from
most of the other sections and large
increase i'll acreage is generally reported.
The closing of many mills cause decline
of sixteenth in price and proves that
past consumption has to Il considerable
extent been unreal.

1t Will Be Weeks Before ANY Boo

1t Will Be Weeks Before Any Bodies
Can Be Recovered.
Wilkesbarre. Pa. July 1.-The situa-
ton at the Twin shaft tonight remains
every energy 70 their work. but it is az
onizingly slow. for the task is gigantic.
The inevitable conclusion is. it may be
weeks before the bodies are recovered, if
at all.
The drilling which has been going on
from the Clear spring coliery was COM
pleted this afternoon and large body
of gas was found. The officials have
abandoned the idea of tunnelling, as the
men would have to travel $500 feet to
reach the point where the victims are
thought to have been when the cave-n
occurred and this route is much further
than the one which the rcscuers are now
working on. Apart from this. it would
be dangerous and entail a tremendous
expense.
The shift which came out of the mine
at Z o'clock tonight said No. 3 is getting
better and the work moving slowly.
The Pittston Item prints an article to-
night saying that there is no possibility
of the recovery of the bodies.

FINANCIAL RENIEM.

New York, July -Bradstrect's report
OF the stock market tomorrow will say:
Decidedly bearish tendencies asserted
themselves in the New York stock market
this week. Its early days were marked
by more decided slrinkage in values
Than has been Witnessed for some months
past. accompanied by both liquidation on
a large scale and by pressure upon price
from operators for the short account.
Apart from sales of stocks. the public
has taken little part in this weeks trad
ing. It's increased activity. with such
exception, was mainly professional, al
though very noticeable feature of the sit
uation was the heavy and aggressive buy
ing i'll declines by the foreign account.
This, indeed, has been one of the most
remarkable increases of the week. Gables
describe Americans as being the most
active department of the London market,
ana state that ut the declines Il very CON
siderable demand for them has made its
appearance in that quarter. AT the same
time SO far as can be learned, the buying
in question can scarcely be ascribcd to
the foreign public but is TO all appear
ances due To the banks and large financial
speculative interests in London. While
the action of the foreigners did not AT
once check the decentralization in Wall
street IN the end it effected speculative
sentiment and was influential in produc
ing the steadiCr tone which asserted itself
in the latter part of the week at the lower
level of prices. On Friday the market
