REPORT ON TRADE.

Dunn & Co.'S review of trade for
last week says:
Jobbers are still urgently asking
prompt deliveries by manufacturers of
staple lines, while transactions in fan
cy goods for the holidays are unusually
early, showing that dealers anticipate
a large trade. Prices of commodities
rule firm and collections are satisfac-
tory, even southern payments coming
forward promptly now that the tardy
cotton crop has begun to move freely.
Each week the situation as to iron
and steel becomes more encouraging,
orders now running to ghe middle of
1902 in many products. Despite the
extensive addition to productive capac-
ity last year, there is still much work
in progress or preparation, promising
many new plants ready to start next
year. The feature of the week was the
placing of enormous orders for steel
rails, practically assuring another rec
ord breaking output. Other railroad
spplies are also in great demand.
Added to this is much structural work
in replacing wooden bridges by steel
arches and in the minor lines there is
an equally vigorous demand. Pig iron
reflects the brisk movement on finished
products, and higher prices are antici-
pated. 1t is worthy of note that the
domestic situation is not called to slim
ulate export trade, and the loss of
much foreign business may be directly
attributed to the strike, which put the
mills so far behind on home needs.
Coke ovens are active, and the output
is large, but lack of cars and motive
power restricts shipments.
Coal deliveries are similarly retard-
ed. In wooden goods orders are quiet
on account of warm weather, but mills
are fully occupied and producers of
knit goods have orders for some time.
Strength in the raw material is con-
= spicuous, mills buying freely.
More steady prices are received by
domestic wheat growers, last years fig
ures being surpassed, notwithstanding
the largely increased yield just har-
vested. Smaller crops of other cereals
and hay caused the use of much wheat
in fattening hive stock and with lard
more than 2 cents above last years
prices and mess pork SO a barrel, this
has been a profitable proceeding.
There rs also tendency to hold back
for stil higher prices, as indicated by
western receipts of only 6.1S2,392 bush
els, against s,411,O57 bushels a year
ago.

MINING NOTES.

The very latest strike in the copper
belt teributary TO Mullan is on the
Comet, one of the Stevens peak proper
ties.
A bad cave in occurred in the High
land Boy mine, near Salt Lake, last
week, in which four miners were en-
tombed. After working for twelve
hours rescuers succeeded in reaching
and getting them out alive.
A. Stevens, manager for the Buffalo
Hump syndicate, has purchased one
third interest in the Cracker Jack
mine in the Hump district. The con-
sideration is the completion of $50 feet
of drifting upon the south vein and the
installation of a complete ten-stamp
milling equipment upon the property.
At Mullan the Morning Mining COM
pany has completed it's tunnel through
the point of the hill between here and
the mill, and the new flume is now be-
ing built. When it is done it will give
about five feet more fall at the mill
or at an average stage of water a diff
ference of about thirty-fve horse
power.
S. Markwell, one of the owners of the
Hercules at Wallace, says that recent
published statements regarding that
property and the prospects of selling il
have done it an injustice. He says that
so far as he knows the owners never
received any proposition looking to its
sale to Finch & Campbell, although q
number of offers had been made by
other parties.

Political Stir in London.

London, Oct. 2s.-The leaders of the
liberal organization deny that any meeting
of the liberal leaders has been called, as
cabled to the United States by a news
agency to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of is
suing a manifesto to the country calling
on the government to resign or call a spec
ial session of parliament to discuss the
Boer war, the dismissal of General Butler
and other matters.
So far from stirring up an agitation
on the subject of General Butler, it is
announced that the liberal leaders con-
cede that the war office was justified in
its action. though this does not prevent
criticism of that officers previous APP
pointment to the command of the first
army corps. The attempts made by sew
eral of the liberal daily newspapers to
create feeling in General Buffers favor
are due partly to their desire to make
party capital, as these papers. previous
to the action of the war office, could
scarcely say anything bad enough about
the general. They have succeeded, how
ever. in working up a certain amount of
popular enthusiasm which finds vent in
music hall demonstrations wherever Cen
eral Buffers name is mentioned.

Hon. T. Mayne Daily, X. c., applied

for an injunction restraining the Off

from watching or picketing all stations
and tracks of the Canadian Pacific and

proaches thereto. The injunction, mod

till the trial, which possibly will take
place in Rossland early in December
If it should develop that large iron
ore deposit has been discovered in
East Kootenay and is susceptible of be
ing mined and converted INFO pig, II
will be an event of more significance
than the uncovering of any large gold
silver, lead or copper mine. Iron is
the most useful metal ever discovered
and its location on the Pacific coast in
considerable quantity and of quality
that permits IFS being used for com
mercial purposes, would mean the es
tablishment of great manufacturing
enterprises that would ALWAYS be at
disadvantage so long as they were OBJ
liged to import their raw maseria
from the east.

Berea. Ohio Oct. 2S.-One of the bold
est safe robberes ever perpetrated in this
city occurred at an early hour in the morn
ing in almost the heart of the village. The
hardware store of Lawrence & Brightman
was entered, the large safe wrecked and
the robbers made good their escape, carry
ing with them booty aggregating an
amount of more than 100000.
Baldwin university bears the heaviest
loss. c. c. Brightman, the junior mem
Der of the firm, is also treasurer and
trustee of Baldwin university, and all
of the valuable papers OF the institution
were kept in the safe. Bonds, deeds,
notes and mortgages of the university
aggregating 100000 in value were Sc
cured by the robbers. Many of the notes
held by Baldwin university were of long
standing ad bore numerous indorse-
ments, making it impossible to produce
them in duplicate. A diligent search for
the thieves has been instituted, but as
yet no clue to their whereabouts or iden-
