TRADE REPORT.

R. G. Dun x Co.'s Weekly Review
OF Trade last week says:
Prospects have greatly improved
through numerous labor controversies,
yet the anthracite coal situation is un-
changed and supplies are nearing de-
pletion. Distribution Of merchandise
has met with some interruption owing
to the freight bIockades. the volume
Of business being very heavy. Sta
tistics Of pig iron production Of Aug
ust ], according TO the Iron Age. are
more satisfactory than might have
been expected in view Of the great
scarcity Of fuel. Shoe manufacturers
at the East have received practically
all the fall orders that will be placed.
and new business is now restricted to
sample orders in spring lines. Leather
again risen in price. and sales were
heavy during the past week. not only
in staples. but also upper stock and
betting butts Recent violent ad-
vanees in hides have been fully held
and large transactions occurred. while
heavy Texas steers reached a new
record price. Despite the very IA
vorable reports from dry goods job
bers regarding the volume outlook for
fall trade, conditions in the primary
markets and at the mills are now de-
void of incident.
Considering the Official report OF the
cereal crop conditions the frmness OF
quotations during the past week has
been somewhat pressing. Failures in
the United States for the week num-
Der 196, against 1e9 last year.

CIRCUS CARS WRECKED.

| Adcomay WASH, Aug. 1.-two ele
plant cars and one cage Of an animal
car belonging to section 3 of the Ring
ling Bros circus. en- route to Portland
were ditched near the freight depot in
this city. Ten men. ~ elephants and
several Gagged lions and tigers were
In the mixup. No fatalities occurred,
but all Of the men were bruised and
three were sent TO the hospital here
for treatment.
Z. w. McCurry, superintendent OF
animals. sustained a severe fracture OF
his left leg, just above the ankle:
Martin Smith, elephant trainer. re-
ceiVed a number of cuts on his head
and face; c. A. Weaver. elephant train.
err, had his shoulder dislOcated and re.
ceiVed an ugly cut on his face; Pearl
Sowden. chief elephant trainer. also
sustained deep cash on the head.
The elephants received few scratches
and bruises. but their injuries are not
believed to be serious.
The wreck, which but for the rarest
OF good fortune would have been a dis
astrous one, was caused by a defective
frog in switch. The third section OF
the circus train was pulling out for
Portland. when a hatcar left the rails.
drawing with it the heavily loaded eIe
plant cars. The weight of the ele-
plants knocked the roof out. The front
OF one car dropped into a water ditch
about six feet deep. while the rear end
was upon level ground. This inclined
the car and threw the elephants help
less al the end Of the chains by which
they were tied. The gigantic beasts
were piled around in almost every
shape except an upright one.
AS soon as the cars left the tract the
leaders rushed from their quarters.
and by beating and shouting kept down
the rising tempers Of the unruly in
mates. They were unclaimed and al
lowed to slide from the cars much as
they would have backed cut At the
usual unloading. Within a very few
minutes all but one were rounded nm
In very docile herd. gorging them
selves upon the grass at the scene Of
the wreck One small female was in
a helpless condition at the end Of her
chain. and when IL was cut from the
fastening she slid heavily into the
ditch OF water.
She was either too badly frightened
or too stubborn to extricate herself
and ii required an hour Of strenuous
work to land her on the shore. She
was finally dragged out bodily by a
huge male elephant. A chain was
fastened about the necks Of both ami
mails and after a few pulls the female
was pulled into a position where she
could help herself. She was badly
bloated with water and was given sew
eral quarts Of whisky to ward on a
chill.
The cars were badly damaged and
were taken to the Northern Pacific
shops for repairs, the animals being
put in boxcars and the train left to
night for Portland.
When the accident occurred the
train was moving at the rate Of three
miles an hour. but when the fatcar
jumped the track IL set the air brakes
and thereby prevented more serious
results.
The car containing the tigers and
lions was only partially derailed and
the animals remained in their cages.
