WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
Dun 4 Co. Say Industrial Condi-
tons Could Hardly Be Better.
DEMAND EXCEEDS THE SUPPLY
Producing Works Crowded Beyond Their
Capacity - Hallway EARRINGS. Bank
Clearings, and Quotations of Staple
Prices Are All Encouraging.

New York. Oct. lG-R. G. Qua G
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
industrial conditions could hardly
be better. After many months of such
extraordinary buying that it's continu-
ance seemed impossible, even larger
buying still crowds producing works in
most lines beyond their capacity. Sales
of wool are smaller, only 7,433,300
pounds for the week at the three mar
kets, without further advance.
Failures for the week have been
l64 in the United States, against 205
last year, and 81 in Canada, against IS
last year.
Bradstreet's says:
Railway earnings, bank clearings,
returns and quotations of staple prices
are all encouraging, pointing as they
do to maximum volume OF business
for this period of the year. Crop re-
turns for October bear out earlier i'm
pressions of shortened yields. Totals
of 90 per cent over September year
ago. Wheat Gncluding four ship
ments for the week aggregate 5,265, 634
bushels, against 5,lS3.S9S bushels

Chicago. Oct. 16-Five masked men
blew up the baggage and express car
of west-bound Chicago & Northwest
ern train between Elburn and Maple
Park on the Galena division at 1880
o'clock last night.
The wreck OF the train took place at
tower W. forty-six miles from Chicago
and half way between Elburn and Ma
pie Park. The men approached the
tower, and one of them made an in
quiry of Operator James concerning the
distance to Maple Park AS James was
about to reply one of the men sudden
ly seized him and with the assistance
of the others bound and gagged him.
Then they set the signal at stop" A

man and engineer with their revolvers
and forced them to cut out the express
and baggage car from the rest of the
train and then uncoupled the engine
from the cars.
The engineer, still with the muzzle
of pistol held at his head, was forced
to run the engine about 200 feet from
the baggage and express cars.
Then a demand was made on the ex-
press messenger to open the door of his
car. There was no reply, and the rob-
bers Immediately set about blowing up
the car, which they expected would
contain rich booty, with dynamite
cartridges. The doors of both the ex-
press and baggage cars were blown off.
The robbers made a hurried search
of the two damaged cars and then dis
appeared in the darkness without at
tempting to interfere with the passen-
gers.
Word was at once sent to the main
offices of the railroad in this city and
the officials Immediately began to
make arrangements to pursue the rob-
bers. A telegram was received say
ing that the robbers failed to secure
any large amount of money Another
report had it that the thieves had
learned that $4,000 was going to be
shipped to the west on that train and
had laid their plans accordingly, and
that they were successful in securing
the money.
A posse of fifty armed men left De
Kalb, ILL.,, on a special train to go to
the place where the engine was aban-
doned. No one was injured in the
hold-up.
At 8 o'clock this morning General
Manager Antisdel Of the American Elk
press company said the robbers had
secured at least $4,000 in cash, in ad-
dition to an amount Of jewelry and
other valuables.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 16.-At Sewer
vile, Tenn, Friday morning three
masked men entered the bank, pointed
pistols at the cashier, John Marshall,
and the president, William Mcmahon,
and demanded the money. Mr.. Nc
Mahon threw all the loose change into
the safe, seized a rife and began
shooting at the robbers, who returned
the first. At the same time Marshall
ran out at side door, pistol in hand,
and shot one of the horses belonging
to the robbers.
One of the masked men, Pearl Thur
man, was instantly killed by McMa-
hon. Cal Derrick, another of the rob-
bers, was wounded seriously and is in
Jail. William Derrick, the third rob-
Der, escaped to his horse. Citizens
pursued him, and his horse was
wounded, but he rode over mile, when
the horse fell, and Derrick sought ref
uge in barn. He was surrounded,
and he shot himself in the head rather
than surrender. All three robbers came
from Knoxville.

Triumnhs Over Canada.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Under the
modus vivendi concerning the bound
airy of Alaska, which Canada has ac-
cepted, the United States surrenders
no substantial advantage. Dyea and
Skaguay remain on the American side
of the line. Canada gets no port on
Lynn canal or elsewhere on tide wa
ter. Neither does she get territory OF
any stream navigable by vessels much
larger than canoes. In fact, the line
YVES drawn by this government, and
imports into the Klondike through the
Chilkoot or White pass will have to
cross American territory. The line
agreed upon is only temporary, but
it puts upon Canada the burden OF
proving that she is entitled to any
further territory.

BE the Largest In Our History.
Washington, Oct. 16.-Present indi-
cations warrant the belief that the ex-
ports Of the calendar year 1899 will
be the largest in our history. The to-
tai for the eight months ending with
August showed an excess of 1000, 900
over the corresponding months of 1898,
which was the largest calendar year in
our exporting history, and the Septem-
Der statement of breadstuffs, provis-
ions, cottons and mineral oils, just is
sued by the treasury bureau Of stats
tics, shows for those four classes alone
an excess of $12,000,OO0 over September
of last year. When to this is added
the fact that the exports OF manufac-
lures are now much larger than at this
time last year, and that even in the
re-exportation OF foreign goods the fig
ures of this year exceed those Of last, 1t
seems probable that the calendar year
1899 will show larger total of ex-
ports than that of any preceding year.
