THE TRADE SITUATION.


New York, May l2.--Bradstreet's to-
day says The trade situation this
week may be summed up in the
phrases: Inactive demand and weak
er prices. While in many respects the
industrial situation is easier than it
was the unsettlement in the building
trades continues marked, the reflex
action being exhibited in unsettled
demand for building material and
weaker prices for lumber and for
many products used in the building
industry.
Iron and steel buyers are still hold
ing off, most of the business done be-
ing for small lots for immediate con-
sumption. Further declines are noted
in steel bilets and for some finished
products, while sympathetic weakness
is reported in the other metals, such
as "copper" lead and tin.
In speculative markets dullness has
been the feature, wheat, after consid-
cradle steadiness, weakening on the
favorable government crop report,
which is taken to indicate yield of
winter wheat lO0000,00O bushels
larger than a year ago, notwithstand-
ing immense damage from winter
killing in the central western states,
apparently offset, however, by high
condition in states west of the Mis-
sissippi.
Corn has been weaker than wheat,
rejecting the less active export de-
mand and sympathy with the lowered
price of provisions, the latter due to
the heavier receipts of hogs and less
ened demand for pork and lard.
Business failures in the United
States for the week number ia as
compared with 1888 last week, 1869 a
year ago, $50 in 1898, PSI in 1897 and
265 in 1896,

CORBETT KNOCKED OUT.
Jim j fries Is stu the Heavyweight
Champion Pugilist-Jim Corbett Puts
Up Good Fight.

Coney Island, N. Y, May 12.--Jim
Jeffries is still heavyweight champion
pugilist of the world. He defeated
Jim Corbett in the twenty-third
round of their fight with a decisive
knockout. The finishing blow came
as sudden and startlin sur
prise. Corbett had been making
wonderful battle, His defense was
absolutely perfect and, while he was
lacking in strength, he had more
than held his own and stood an ex-
cellent chance of winning the fight
had 1t gone the limit. He had not
been badly punished and had man.
aged to mark his man severely.
The winning punch was short left
jolt to the jaw. Corbett dropped
like a weight and was clear out. JEFF
fries showed his ability to take punch
ing at any distance, and hard. He
was clearly outboXed and at times
made to look like a novice. The
crowd, which numbered 5000, was
with Corbett and his defeat fell upon
a silent crowd. There We're cheers
given for him when he revived and
left the ring and was generally shown
more consideration than the victor.
Corbett is still factor in the pu-
gilistic game. lie has regained much
Of his old-time form. The battle was
clean and II is doubtful il there was
a single infraction of the rules. The
crowd was most orderly.

TELEGRAPH COMP ANIES.
Their Loss by the Hurricane Was Very
Severe One.
WESTERN UN ON WAS A HEAVY SUFFERER
The Postal Telegraph Company
Lost Valuable Cable and Was
otherwise Damaged.

The havoc wrought at Galveston to life
and property has directed the attention of
the public away from property losses
elsewhere ami little has been written
about them. However. 1t is fact worthy
of note that the two telegraph com
panes entering Houston-the Western
Union and the Postal--haye been very
heavy losers by the storm, but notwith-
standing this. they have been liberal con-
tributors toward the relief fund.- giving
large sums OF cash and further, giving
the use OF their lines TO the various re-
lief committees free OF charge. In fact,
had i; not been Tor the telegraph COM
panies-ther liberality in giving, their
indomitable energy in repairing their
lines and the patrOtic spirit which
prompted the Offering OF these lines for
the transmission OF messages in regard TO
relief wOrk-hSd IL not been for all this.
the work OF succoring the needy and car
ing for the wounded would have been
sadly crippled.
The telegraph companies did not stop TO
consider the large pecuniary losses they
had suffered. but immediately contrib
uted to the relief fund and offered the use
of their wires to the relief committees.
\ Post reporter called on Il local rep
resentative Of the Western Union Tele
graph company yesterday afternoon and
asked for an estimate of the damage sus.
talned by the liGe, The company's rep
resentatlve who was spoken to replied
that he could only give a rough estimate.
However he considered that taking in .
radius of a hundred miles around Hous.
ton. his company had suffered to the ex-
| tent OF 100000. The many wires between
{ Houston and Galveston were totally
wrecked. the poles being blown down,
broken off and washed away. In fact. in
every direction for many miles it might
be said that the lines were practically a
total loss. The work Of repairing and
rebuilding he said, was being pushed with
all expedition possible $50 men being en-
gagged now in that work
Manager witt OF the Postal Telegraph
company estimates his company's loss at
$4,000. Three storm tossed ships
dragged their anchor across a Sl5,O 900
cable between Galveston and Bolivar
Point, breaking the cable in three pieces,
and only two ends have been found, When
this cable was laid the water was thirty
I feet deep. Now it ia from eighteen TO
twenty feet deep. the broken cable hay-
ing several feet OF mud on II, making II,
recovery hardly possible. Outside of the
loss OF this cable the line was damaged
about $4,000. About fifteen miles of lin,

SHINGLES AND NAILS NEEDED
In the Farming Country About Rich
mona.

Richmond Texas. September 20.--It was
learned today through one OF the citizens
on the prairie that several families ia
his community were LIVING in barns, corn
cribs and outhouses belonging to their
neighbors. with no prospect of getting
their houses repaired soon, as they have
neither nails or shingles, nor money to
buy them, and had Il not been for tho
assistance rendered by the good people OF
the State and elsewhere, they would have
gene hungry. II these people could get
enough nails and sh ngles they could patch
up their houses In a way that they could
live in them for a while at least,
Provisions are being hauled to the needy
in this community as fast as possible.
