DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

New York, June G.--R. G.. Dunn e Cos
weekely review of trade will say:
Peace in South Africa has greatly i'm
proved the outlook. Foreign industrial
markets will quickly benefit by the de
velopment of that country while return
to active gold mining will have a helpful
influence in monetary circles. Owing to
the present exceptional home consumption
producers in this country may not be able
to take adVantake of the opportunity i'm
mediatoiy, but even the indirect effects
must be beneficial. Domestic conditions
still have but the one drawback of lalCr
disputes. which have reduced the earning
power of a large force outside the limits
of this Influence there is little cause for
complaint. Orders are large and dis tribu-
ton is less interrupted by the shortage
of cars. Railway earnings for May show
an increase of 6S per cent over last year
and ia per cent over 1900.
Contrary to expectations the leading pro-
duccrs maintained their conservative posi-
ton by making no advance in the price of
steel rails for delivery in 1871, notwith-
standing the material rise that has oc-
CURED in pig iron.

exact status of affairs at Porto Caoelio,

that there had been some confusion In
the transmission or Interpretation OK
the dispatch of Thursday relative 10

coubt a dispatch of inquiry was sent
yesterday TO the American commander
at that point. His answer had not bean

AS originally deciphered Commander

that the revolutionists had obtained

the conclusion that the situation IL
practically as 1t has been, the Castro

empty and the barrel had been bent.

her husband fall? Did she see the lit
tie furies swarm over his body, snap

The mother felt herself growing

necessary to maintain her position in
the tree. She could see a bunch of
peccaries fighting over the bones of
her husband, while others were gnash-
ing their bloody tusks and tearing the
bark from the trunk OF the mesquite.
She pressed her babe to her breast
and renewed her cries for help. She
had shouted and screamed until her
voice could hardly rise above whis-
per. Her feeble cries only served to
enrage and increase the efforts OF the
savage beasts thirsting for her blood.
Her appeals for aid only helped to
swell the number of her foes.
