New York, Jnne 15.-Bradstreet
says: There is little or no effort to
push business at period of so much
uncertainty as to the precise terms of
the financial planks to be adopted by
the great political parties in national
convention. The general merchandise
movement continues as dull and con.
servative as heretofore, retailers, with
few exceptions, buying only for imme-
diate necessities. Mercantile collec-
tions continue slow and unsatisfactory,
and thele is no gain in the cotton,
woolen goods, iron or steel industries.
Western spectators are buying wool
above parity with prices offering
from the East. There is little ikeli-
hood of higher prices for wool while SO
much machinery is idle. Nearly all
ranches of drygoods are somewhat de-
pressed. Cotton goods are below a
parity with raw material. General
trade in Central and Western states
remains quiet.

New York, June 15.-R. g. Dun &

Speculative reaction has not in the
least changed the business outlook.
The fictitious prices made for wheat
and cotton meant no good except for in.
diyiduals, and the change to prices
more nearly in accord with actual rela-
tons of demand to supply only con-
forms to conditions which have been
known for months.

had no real influence, and the prin-
Opal effect was the serious depression
caused by large sales in anticipation of
the report, which seemed to be thor
oughly known in advance to some
speculators. While Atlantic exports
for the week were 1,588,15S bushels,
flour included, against only 500, $50
last year, the comparison is obviously
exceptional and significant, while the
receipts at western ports of 2,429, 345
bushels, against 1,8S6,2SO last year,
ahow persistency of conditions which
have goverened the movement during
the whole year.
Sales of wool in two weeks of June
have been only 5,S2S,500 pounds,
against 12,561,9 last year, and no
gain is expected in the manufacture

BY WEYLER'S ORDER.
Spanish Newspaper Suppressed by the
Captain General.

Captain General.
Key West, Fla. June 15.-Advices
from Havana say a sensation has been
caused there by an editorial on the sit
uation in the Diario del Commercial,
the leading paper of Barcelona.
Copies of the paper which reached
Havana have been suppressed by Cap
tain. General Weyler.
The subject of the editorial is Senior
Sagasta's statement that the war an
nually costs Spain 500, 900, 900 pesetas
and $4,000 soldiers, but that the con.
Hict may end in two years.
"The gravest is not what the liberal
chief says, but what he withholds,
says the paper. "He knows the war
will never terminate except in the loss
of Cuba. The treasury of Cuba will
not have resources to cover the exendi-
lures, nor has that of Spain. The
powers Of consumption are dried up
and agriculture, industries and busi-
ness wholly ruined. We have to ac-
cept the economic catastrophe, colossal
as it is, and admit that both Spain and
Cuba are ruined, and this catastrophe is
due to the stupidities that followed the
last revolution.
"Senor Sagasta very we'll says our
arms are not to be folded before the
prospect of the enormous sacrifices.
And the representations of Weyler in
crease the point of gravity, when it is
thought there will be more than 500,-
900, 900 pesetas spent and many, many
more than $1,000 soldiers sacrificed.
! "How, and by whom, is guaranteed
the attainment of this force at twenty
four months from this date, and if the
purposes of the general are not at
tainol, what shall we be gaining, and
what are we to do then?
"The political conventions will soon
meet in the United States, and they
will fan the flames against Spain.
Senior Sagasta will do we'll to plan fol
a conflict before the chambers, because
it is impossible for the country to &C.
cept either the plans of Weyler or the
policy of war which is bringing us tc
annihilation with great velocity"

Ex-GOv. RUSSELL DEAD.
Distinguished Son of Massachusetts
Expires Suddenly of Heart Disease.

Expires Suddenly of Heart Disease.
Ex-Gov William E. Russell of Massa-
chusetts died suddenly at the camp of
B. f. Dutton at st. Adelaide, Pabos, Que
bee Gov. Russell, accompanied by his
brother, Col. Harry E. Russell, and Col.
Francis Peabody, Jr., arrived there only
the day previous in search of rest. He
had run down in health after the trying
scenes at the Chicago convention, and his
friends urged upon him the necessity of a
rest in the backwoods, and he accepted
the invitation of Mr.. Dutton to go to his
beautiful Canadian camp.
On reaching st. Adelaide the ex-Gov-
ernor appeared in good health and spirits,
and the evening was spent in social
way and in preparation for fishing trip
the next day. He and his companions re-
tired early. Col. Russell was the first to
arise, and when he called his brother he
received no answer. He then attempted
to arouse him by shaking him, where
upon he discovered that life had flown.
The position of the body and the express
sion on the dead mans face showed that
his death was painless.
William Eustce Russell was born in
Cambridge on Jan. g. 1851, within the
shadow of the university from which ne
was graduated in 1877. He received his
early training in the public schools of
Cambridge, in which he prepared for Har-
ward College, entering that institution in
1873. Mr.. Russel's political s@iiations
had always been Democratic. In 1886
Mr.. Russell was elected Mayor of Cam
bridge by large majority. He held the
reins Of government in the Mayors chair
for three terms. Mr.. Russell was mar
ried to Miss Margaret Swan, daughter Of
the late Rev. Joshua Swami, formerly Of
Cambridge, on June 8, 1885. They had
three children-two sons and one daugh-
ter.
In 1883 he was nominated for Cover
nor, but was defeated by Gov. Ames. He
was nominated again IN 1889 and was
elected over Mr.. Bracket by a plurality
of 5000. In 1891 he was successful over
Charles III. Allen, of Lowell, by plu-
rality of $500. In 1892, the presidential
year, he defeated William III. Halle by
plurality of $500 votes, while Benjamin

The car barns of the City Railway Com

feet deep and occupied three-fourths OF
square. They were filled with cars, being
the stables for the active system. Ihe
company lost 554 cars, 100 of them being
grip cars. Not thing in the buildings
was saved. The loss is estimated at FULLY
$500, 900, the buildings and contents being
insured for $3ll, 900. The fire, once
started, burned with great rapidity ana
the firemem experienced great difflcu.ty
in preserving many of the adjoining
buildings. They managed, however, 10
conline the fire to the car barns.
1t is thought the fire originated from the
crossing of two electric wires. Thirty
horses were in the barn, sixteen were
saved and fourteen were burned in the
stalls
