Chicago, Aug. 20 ~ Twelve steel

All IL arches were standing, the
twelfth and last having just been COM

steel contractors, the Pittsburgh (Pa.)
Bridge company, to turn over the work
to the general contractors. An immense
traveller, or derrick, which had been
used in erecting the arches had beenre-
moved, and the agents of the bridge
company thought the work practically
completed, when suddenly, without the
slightest preliminary warning, the arch
last put in place suddenly fell over
against the one next 10 it, which gave
way, crashed against the third, and
soon all were down. Nearly all the
killed were at work on top of the arches,
40 feet above the ground.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Situation as Viewed by Leading Com
merciaI Acknowledging Clear
ings show Big Gains.

New York. Aug. PR. c. Dun & Co $
weekly review of trade says: Nothing Is
more eloquent than The facts. Actual pay
ments through the principal clearing houses
for the week were PSI per cent larger than
last year, and $50 per cent. larger than in
the same week in 1892 For the month thus
far the daily average of payments has
been 26.S per cent larger than last year and
$50 per cent larger than in 1882 Tonnage
from Chicago in three weeks has been S0.7
per cent larger than last year and 746 per
cent. larger than in 1892
1t IS a consumers business. also. Per-
haps never before have demands for actual
use controlled business and price with so
little speculation to anticipate higher mar
kets. In fact, the rise in most articles has
gone farther than speculative opinions
have warranted Practically all Industries
are some months behind the requirements
for actual use. and In many much of the
output next year is already sold. Iron
works which supply Pittsburgh are sold up
far into 1900, and can do nothing. though
prices much beyond what they received
are paid by those who must have iron this
year.
Failures for the week have been l63 IN
the United States against l79 last year and
Is in Canada. against 26 last year"
Bradstreet says: Strength in prices and
steadlness of demand are stu the SAIL
ent features of the trade situation. Iron,
steel and other metals, most of the cereals,
leather and cotton goods, manifest upward
tendencies as TO prices Other staples,
with the exception of sugar and anthracite
coal, retain all their old firmness. Fall
demand is expanding at most markets, par
tieularly good reports being received from
the northwest and that portion of the corn
growing country which this year seems like
~ to be notable for surplus production.
