New York, Jan. 14.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says:
Contrary to the commonlv accepted
French saying, the expected In trade has
occurred. Rapid advance In prices Of iron
and steel products have had their imme-
eft Of the industry. for there Is the same
reason for doubt AZ to its permanence a.
in 1895. when shrinkage Of buying and re-
action soon carried prices lower than be-
fore. But there is now larger demand for
many other products. and without un-
wieldy combinations all are doing we'll
No Evidence OF Weakness.
Throughout the country was never 30
strong financially. a. even governors Of
London banks admit, one stating that ~
London had financed America heretofore.
now for the first time New York was
financing Europe. No evidence Of weak
ness 10 seen in the other branches OF in
dustry nor in those upon which the great
excess Of exports most depend. Wheat
and cotton still go out largely. Europe Is
buying because 1t has needs and New York
IL lending to Europe nobody knows how
present no need to call loans. The receipt
OF s.. 500, 900 of gold from Australia IN an
nounced at San Francisco Americans are
In the humor to invest in their own country
and have great amount OF money to put
out without recalling any Of their loans
lions ever known in the stock exchange
have occurred during the week without the
evidence Of reaction for which many strong
operators have been looking.
Position Grows Stronger.
"In products also the position Of the
country grows stronger. Last years ex-
ports Of wheat and corn were far beyond
all precedent, but the past week has seen
exports Of 4.235.6S8 bushels of wheat. flour
included. against s2le.47o last year from
Atlantic ports. and in two weeks 9.452,109
against 6,0S6.7sS last year. besides exports
in two weeks from Pacific ports Of l.7A.o51
bushels against 2.s4o0o9 last year. Mean
while corn exports have been in two weeks
7.199.313 bushels against 6.0sl.57S last year.
1t is quite impossible to account for such
movements on the theory that at current
prices this country IL underselling the
world and has great quantities yet TO move
at similar prices There was an advance
Of TX cents in wheat during the week. but
one cent in corn without any indication
that supplies are running short.
"Tailures for the week have been 3l3
In the United States. against $40 last year.
and a in Canada. against Is last year."

Bradstreet's saws:


ITO the observer perhaps the most not
able feature Of the trade situation at pres
ent Is the strength Of prices Of nearly all
staples. but particularly Of cereals. cotton.
iron and steel, which have apparently
gained further ground since the first of the
year. Explanation Of the strength Of
wheat is. Of course. found In the good cash
demand which seems to meet any slight re-
action in values and which has placed the
price as high as at any previous time for
three months past. This cereal and corn
are both in exceptionally good demand
abroad. Judging from the large exports, re.
ported. While large sales Of iron and steel
are not 80 numerous az in recent weeks.
further advances in prices. notably Of pig

timony to the eagernesa Of buyers to Sc
cure supplies and the almost corresponding
Indifference Of the trade toward new busi-
ness, order books of most OF the mills being

is the heaviest ever known. but stocks
show further depletion. The feeling OF
confidence In the lumber trade is undated

James E. Donegan is lying seriously IN
jured at st. Joseph's hospital, as the re-
suit Of an elevator. accident at the Boak
Fish companyis building, 1T East Third
street, Wednesday. Donegan is severely
bruised, and it Is feared his spine may
be injured. IN view of the nature of the
accident his escape from death is re-
markable. "a: e
The accident happened while Denegan'
was eTideavoring to make some repairs in
the machinery OF the elevator demanded
by the building inspector. Standing on
the beams at the top of the shaft, short
distance above, the third floor, he removed.
a pin that held the wheel over which the
cables passed the counter weights. A
sudden Jar of the elevator, which was at
the foot of the shaft set the wheel turn
ing and the counter weights slid down.
ward with great velocity. At the same
time the car at the bottom started to
ascendsat high rate Of speed -Donegan
knew what had happened and jumped
from the beams to the trap doors over
the shaft at the third floor Almost the
same instant he. landed on the doors the
rapidly ascending car struck the doors,
shatterfng them and hurting Donegan, as
though thrown from g. catapult, -out on
to the third floor. The car continued on
its wild trip, bringing up with a. crash.
against the beams at the top Of the shaft.
Dr. Senlzler attended Donegan, and sent
him to the hospital. An examination
showed that the injured man had sustain
ed no broken bones, though severely
bruised. If the spine is not injured he
will recover, it is believed, without per-
manent effects from the accident
Building Inspector Haas says the ele-
varor was inspected short time ago, and
some needed repairs ordered. He says
Doregan doubtless did not understand the
danger Of removing the pin connecting
the weights with the wheel
Building Inspector Haas says every eff
fort was made to keep the accident from
getting into the papers Just why 1t was
desired to maintain secrecy in the matter
Is not known.

TORE Up Its TRACKS
STREET RAILWAY COMPANY
SOLVES THE RANDOLPH
STREET PROBLEM
REEVES ORDINANCE HUNG UP,
Now the Company VIII Fall Back
on It's General Ordinance which
Provides That 1t Shall Not Be
Compelled to Build Lines ON
Streets Where Sewers Have Not
Been Put In.

Vice President Goodrich, of the Twin
City Rapid Transit company, and Supt
Smith. Of the st. Paul Street Railway
company, were around the city hall yes
terday inquiring about the ordinance re-
curing the company to operate a line on
Randolph street, from Seventh street to
Hamline avenue.
City Clerk Jensen, when questioned
about the ordinance, informed the street
railway officials that it was still in the
hands Of the committee on streets Of the
board of aldermen, and this statement
appeared to. be more than satisfactory.
Mr.. Goodrich said he had been informed
that the ordinance had passed the board
OF aldermen.
The measure was introduced in the
board by Aid. Reeves some weeks ago
and referred to the committe on streets
of that body. At a meeting of the com
mittee held Nov. 2 the ordinance was
recommended for passage. Aid Kenny
opposed this action, contending that If
the ordinance passed the city lost what
rights it had to compel the company to
operate a line on Randolph street on the
tracks already laid on the street He
favored securing an opinion from the
legal department as to the rights Of the
council 10 require the company to Op-
crate a line on the street before passing
an ordinance directing it to construct
and operate new line. The point raised
by the Third ward alderman was voted
down and the ordinance recommended for
passage.
At the meeting Of the board Tuesday
night the report of the committee on the
ordinance was not presented along with
other reports. Aid. Reeves, when asked
what had become of the measure, said
1t had been decided to hold the ordinance
over for time, as some of the members
desired to look up the question. In the
meantime the company placed force
Of men at work and the tracks from
West Seventh were removed, and should
the company be ordered to operate the
line there are no tracks on which to run
the cars The franchise under which the
company is operating provides that it
shall not be compelled to operate lines
unless a sewer shall nave been con-
structed on the street. Randolph street
has sewer only from Seventh to Pleas
ant avenue, and should the ordinance
of Aid. Reeves get through the council
the new line would only have to be built,
if at all, to Pleasant avenue.

No EFFECT WITHOUT A CAUSE,

No EFFECT WITHOUT A CAUSE.
This is true, yet for many ages
no one could account for the mys-
ferrous and excruciating pains that,
seemingly without sufficient cause.
tortured the hapless sufferer, and
oftentimes twisted his limbs out of
all semblance to humanity.
Science, however, has at length
solved this problem. and has pro-
claimed that rheumatism, in all its
varied phases, is due to uric acid
in the blood.
Hence. when one is afflicted
with rheumatism he knows there is
too much acid in his blood.
How does this happen1 1t must
be the blood's purifiers, the liver,
and especially the kidneys, are out
of order and do not properly per-
form their functions.
But how can they be restored to
their normal healthy state2 Hun
dreds of thousands Of grateful, and
now healthy, people will endorse
the answer:
Use Warmers Safe Cure. which
will check an excess of acid. dis
solve the acid deposit, and pro-
duce normal and healthy, condi-
ton Of the kidneys and liver, and
then. the cause being removed. the
rheumatism will quickly disappear.
