1t Is not often that man Ia buried
with $500 in his pockets. His relatives
generally look to that. But such case
has actually happened.
A few days ago Don Sabine Trujillo
died and was buried In Dolores on Mon.

Of the deceased informed the relatives
Of the dead man that he had at the
time of his death the sum of $500 In one
OF his pockets: for he was buried In his
ordinary clothes. She had seen him
pay the doctor. a short time before his
death. some money and put the re-

no one had thought Of looking for the
money. aud as the young lady was
PROSTATE with grief at the death Of her
uncle and so did not remember any
thing about the matter until after the
funeral. the money was buried with

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, October 12.-R. G. Dun
G. Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade to-
morrow will say:
More seasonable weather had import
ant influence throughout the country,
but the coal strike continued as the
restraining factor in business. AS
speculation everywhere is on a small
scale, the effect is minimized. Lower
esrices recently for some iron pro-
ducts have been without disturbing
force, and the firmer market for print
cloths and strong quotations for lum-
Der, show that in some directions in
the great industries a small increase
in demand is capable of raising prices.
The situation still promises a recov-
cry when politics and the strike are
settled. Distribution of merchandise
at the west is still very active. The
working force is increasing steadily,
and in railroad and manufacturing cir
cles in the middle west, scarcity of
labor is causing ~uneasiness. Fear of
tight money has made some men hest
tate, but higher rates result from the
activity of the movement of cotton 1T
high prices in the South. At the
moment me movement of gold from
Europe has tended to relieve the ten
sion in New York and gold is still
coming from Australia.
Pig iron production has been fur
ther reduced, according to the Iron
Age. On October /, weekly capacity
CT the furnaces in blast was 1884, 1863
tons, against 231, IT'S September 1, and
1861 June /. Stocks at furnaces
continue to accumulate, gaining 36,S41
tons in September. A gratifying fea-
ture is the evidence that supplies in
consumers hands are low. Quotations
of iron products are steady, and for
sign buying continues, two contracts
Of Importance being placed. Pipe
makers are buying quantities of pig,
while car and ship builders are also
argent bidders for material.
Failures for the week were 223 In the
United States against "a last year, and
81 in Canada against q last year.
