THEIR AWFUL FATE.
Ten Persons Are Cremated Alive and
Many Injured in an Elevator
Fire at Toledo, 0.

Toledo, O., Sept. 21.-Ten persons
cremated, eight more fatally burned
and eight seriously injured is the rec
ord of the most disastrous fire that
ever occurred in Toledo. The spon-
taneous combustion of dust in the
grain elevator owned by Paddock,
Hodge & Co. Tuesday night caused
this terrible destruction of life, and
none of those who were taken out
after the fire started was far enough
from deaths door to tell any of the
horrible details.
DEAD-Samuel Alexander, Fred Garrett,
Bert Wainwright, Harold Parks John
Smith, Grace Parks, Frank Van Housen,
John Carr. William Parks. and an un-
known man.
INJURED-David Kemp, Barney WEIGH,
Charles Keller, Fred Pargills, - Elliott.
Charles Brookseeker, Everett Smith. Ham
ilton Parks. w. c. Jordan, Peter Haas. AL
Baldi@ and three others, names unknown.
Mr.. Paddock, member of the firm
OWN. the plant, said that there was
between 100000 and 100000 bushels of
grain in storage at the time, most of
it being winter wheat. The property
and the grain is an entire loss and will
reach $450,O00. The insurance is $780,
900 on the building. and the grain is
covered with $25S,O00.

BEST FOR YEARS.
Trade Shows Wonderful Activity in
the West, Says Dun-SituatiOn
in the East.

New York, Sept. 24-R. G. Dunn & Co.'s
weekly review of trade says: Reports
from different cities disclose a wonderful
activity at the chief centers of western
trade, the dispatches from Chicago, St
Paul and ST. Louis being especially signifi-
cant To eastern dealers 1t may be hard
to realize that such extraordinary activ-
ity exists at the west, although their own
trade is excellent. Even in eastern mar
kets 1t is commonly said that no larger
trade has ever been known unless in 1892,
but the western cities are running things
much after their own taste this year, hav-
ing greater advantages than ever before in
heavy bank balances, and while the ex-
changes of the week fall below those of
last year three to five per cent. they are
1871 per cent larger than in the same week
in 1892
Europe will have to consider possible
American needs for money much more anX-
iously in the future. Doubtless there has
been for many years feeling that the new
continent could be put off with promises
But the control of this country over money
markets in the old world Is coming to be
that of master. Our banks lend over there
heavily when 1t is the most convenient mar
ket for them, but they draw on Europe
whenever they want money, and no longer
have occasion to limit their drafts.
This country is not drawing on Europe
as largely to pay for breadstuffs as it did
a year ago, and wheat exp orts for the
week, flour included have been 3,963,204
from Atlantic ports, against 3,677,868 last
year, and 543, AT from Pacific ports against
1,O94, 1893 last year, making for three weeks
1O,203, 941 from both coasts, flour included
against 15,5e9,129 last year. Prices have
risen sharply about four cents for the
week, and the exports of corn, though not
so large as last year, have been heavy in
comparison with any other year. The
price is slightly advanced.
THE iron and steel trade expands with a
rapidity which throws into the shade all
expectations, with a steel famine in Ger
many and Great Britain in the markets for
100000 tons of plates, and the American works
are crowded for months ahead New or
ders at Chicago cover ,0C0 tons of tin plate
bars besides 1900 tons sold al Philadel-
phia. Rails are in such demand that the
makers are to meet with expectation of
advancing prices, some sales having been
made from Chicago below agreed quota
tions for delivery at the far west. pilates
are strong everywhere, but, on account of
car construction, especially strong at Chi
cago, and the demand for bars on the same
account is heavy, with one order at Chi
cago for 1000, and several others for 500
cars each.
Failures for the week have been 173 in
the United States, against 2CJ last year,
and 16 in Canada, against % last year..

clusion said:
perhaps this may be the last time shall

Midi. l wish, therefore, to declare that if L

ing an ovation from the crowd as he
was led away.
