BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Trade Has Increased Some But Is stin
Disapr Ointing.

Trade Has Increased Some But Is still
Disapr ointing.
New York, March 20.-Dun's week
ly review of the state of trade for the
week just ending will to-day say;
Though steadily increasing, business
is still much below its volume in former
years of prosperity, and many express
disappointment. Yet there is some
gain every week, with more hands at
work, and more mills in operation, and
the sure result, larger purchases for
consumption, cannot be long delayed.
In some branches it is felt already.
There is larger distribution of finished
products, and the demand for CON-
mercial loans has sharply increased,
especially in dry goods and the iron
and steel branches. At this city there
has also been an abnormal demand,
owing to the desire of dealers to get
imported goods out of the warehouses.
Business payments have been more
satisfactory than usual, and the state
of foreign trade is without any unfa-
vorable feature, Notwithstanding the
uncertain aspect of European affairs.
Large foreign sales of stock have not
affected the market. The progress of
the iron and steel industry is hindered
by uncertainty regarding the cost of
lake ore for the coming year, though
the repeated adjournment of pro-
ducers' meetings is interpreted as evil
dence that an agreement will ulti-
mately be reached. 1t is reported that
Norrie ore will be taken as the basis,
but until this question has been set
tied many important transactions are
deferred. While there is no great &C
tivity in finished products, the demand
steadily increases. Contracts for sew
eral great buildings at Chicago are
pending, and for a good many bridges
and other railroad works, and the de-
mand for wire nails and for wire does
not abate, nor the demand for black
sheets required in the tin-plate manu-
facture. Tin tends lower with heavy
receipts and with weaker London quo
tations, lead is inactive, and copper is
weaker, although the trifling decrease
in production in this country is practi-
cally balanced by the small increase in
production elsewhere.

MYSTERY IN THEIR FATE.
What Caused the Death of Those in the st.
Nazaire Boat Picked Up by the Creole?

New York, March 23.-There is
mystery in the circumstances surround
ing the death of those who embarked
from the Vile de st. Nazaire in the
boat picked up and brought to this
port yesterday by the Creole and from
which six bodies, one that of woman,
slid into the sea and sank as
the boat was being hoisted to the
Creole's deck. The mystery, more
over, will never be solved. 1t is not
even known how many originally en-
tered the frail little craft There was
food and drink in the boat sufficient to
sustain life for week, and yet not one
of the occupants was left to tell the
tale. In the boat was also found a
woman's slipper, a child's sock, some
clothing and nursing bottle. There
were no sails or oars in the boat, but
the steel oarlocks were there. Capt.
eager of the Creole says that as death
claimed these victims in that open
boat their heads had gradually sought
their breasts and the oars had slipped
away from the hands that had lost the
strength to hold them. Capt. eager
thinks that the occupants of the boat
were drowned by waves washing over
them. The temperature of the water
taken a few hours before the boat was
sighted was As degrees, not cold
enough to freeze a person to death.

Work of Disintegratlon Already Begun in

Views of Chauncey Depew and
Others Interertcd.

Chicago, March 24.-Within a week
It is expected by high railroad officials
that not one of the organizations hav-
ing jurisdiction over passenger and
freight rates will be in existence in the
country, as a result of the plain deci-
sion of the United States supreme court
that all associations which have for
their purpose the maintenance of
agreed rates and the division of traffic
are illegal. The oldest organizations
of this character must go to pieces. In
fact. the work of disintegration has al
ready begun in this city, the legal
advisers of the great railroads being
quick to grasp the hopelessness of the
situation, so far as continued member
shin in these associations is concerned.
General Solicitor kenna of the Santa
Fe system advised the traffic manager
of that road to withdraw Immediately
from all freight associations of which
it has been member. 1t is believed
that Mr.. Kenna will also advise the
Santa FEES withdrawal from all pas
senper associations. A long consultation
with other attorneys was held by Gen
eral Solicitor Peck of the Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul road To the
meeting of lawyers Mr. Peck said he
would advise the ST. Paul's withdrawal
from all associations. The counsel for
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
road advised the officers that the only
legal course to pursue was to sever
connections with all associations. The
peremptory action of all these com
panies means the certain disruption of
the following associations and COM
mittees: Western Freight Associa-
ton, ans-Continental Passenger
association, Western Passenger associ-
alton, Southwestern Traffic associa-
ton, Missouri Freight associa-
ton and Southwestern Passenger
committee. Officers of various western
roads interviewed by the United
Associated Presses reporter were di-
vided on the effect which this disrup-
ton would have on rates. Officials of
the Santa Fe said that they saw no
reason why rates should become de-
moralized, while representatives of the
Chicago & Alton, notably Vice-Presi-
dent and General Manager Chappell,
said that they did not see how rate
wars could be prevented.

papers be granted to the alleged fill
buster Bermuda, now at Fernandina,

omnibus oath required by the depart
ment before the permission was given.
He was obliged to make affidavit that
the vessel would not transfer any part
of her cargo to any other vessel before
reaching her destination, nor take on
board more men than were required to
run her. Copies of the affidavit were
examined by Secretary Gage before
clearance was ordered. The steamer
will clear for some port in the West
