TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet5s report of last weeks
trade is as follows:
The great underlying features of
trade and industry remain as favor
able as heretofore Bradstreet's quar-
terly returns of failures, bank clear
ings and prices all point to a heavy
business having been done in the first
three months of the year at fair prof
it's, while most indications as to crop
prospects favor a good summer and
fall business. Cooler weather and the
natural reaction from the before Eas-
ter activity has quoted retail trade
east and west, while heavy rains and
floods have interfered with demand
and movement in the south. Jobbing
distribution is naturally less active
than earlier in the season, but is still
of liberal volume. Practically unani-
nous good reports come from the win
ter wheat crop, which has improved
instead of deterioration from it's au
tumn provise. Especially good reports
come from the central west and the
southwest. Special promise of activ
ity is held out this year in the building
trades, which are active buyers for
white and yellow pine, hardwoods and
hardware. A country wide activity in
this latter trade is reported the only
difficulty being the obtaining of sup
plies fast enough

kRAKATOA.

The Greatest Volcanic Explosion in
the History of the World.
The greatest volcanic explosion in
the history Of the world, so far as
energy Is concerned, and one of the
that of Krakatoa, on an island in the
strait Of Sunda, between Java and Su-
matra. During the month Of May.
1888, the volcano Of Krakatoa burst
into activity, but the great explosion
did not come until Aug. 26. Then
flames, which were visible at dis
tance Of forty miles. shot from the
crater. The crashing explosion which
followed these flames set i'll motion
air waves that travelled around the
earth four times one way and three
times the other. Every self-record!ng
barometer in the world was disturbed
seven times by that blow-up. These
waves travelled at the rate of 100 miles
an hour.
At Borneo, 1,116 miles distant. the
noise of this eruption was heard. The
shock was felt in Burmah, 1,4IS miles
distant. and at Perth. West Australia.
1902 miles distant. The Krakatoa ex-
plosion was heard over a sound zone
covering one-thirteenth Of the earth's
surface.
Sea waves were created by the eX-
Piston which destroyed two lighthouses
in the strait of Sunda, all the towns
and villages ON the shores of Java and
Sumatra bordering the strait, all YES
sells and shipping there, and $3.50
lives in that vicinity. The explosion
raised a tidal wave at Merak 135 feet
high; covered 100000 square miles of
ocean with lava dust several inches
thick; submerged an island six miles
square and TOO feet high in depth of
water of $50 fathoms and created two
new islands.
