mate the Trade Situation.
Bradstreet's sums up the business stu
alton in this way: Business conditions in
the main reflect the continuance Of most
of the favorable features hitherto domi-
mating the trade situation in the more
favored sections of the country. Promi-
nent in this direction, of course, are the
iron and steel allied industries, in which
active demand, present or prospective, has
led to further price advances, sustained
and even increased activity in distribution
at most Western markets, with some i'm
proyement likewise noted at the South
and on the Pacific coast, steadiness in
prices-wheat, corn and cotton, however,
eXcepted-a reduced number Of business
failures, fair gains in railroad earnings as
a whole, and bank clearings, in spite of
slight reduction from last week, showing
gains over all corresponding periods in
previous years."

of Cuba by the United States auxiliary
gunboat Hawk:
Yesterday" says Ell Correo, of Ha-

Alfonso XII, which was scuttled in
the waters of Mariel. With natural
desire to obtain information which
would calm the anxiety of the public,
we interviewed the survivors, and as
certained that they were rendered
nearly insensible by fear and anxiety.
Their feet were sore from walking
from the head of the valley of Marie |
to Guanabacoa, and their hands were
badly lacerated in violent and futile
efforts to save the cargo"
