TRADE REPORT,

r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade last week says: Weather con-
ditions have proved the important
movement in the last week in the
business world. Excessive rains in
some sections, notably the south
west, facilitated distribution of heavy
food products, overshoes and kindred
lines, while seasonably low temper
AZURE at other points increased the
movement of winter wearing apparel.
These influences, together with a
large Thanksgiving trade in food pro-
ducts, stimulated retail dealings very
materially. Jobbing and wholesale
trade is fully maintained and manu-.
featuring plants have orders far ahead
but in many cases the coke shortage
retards operations. Railway officials
are making every effort to relieve the
freight congestion. Gross earnings are
fully maintained, for November thus
far exceeds last years by 6.3 per cent
and of 1900 by 1874 per cent, while 1t
is anticipated that higher freights will
Offset the advances in increasing
wages, sustaining net earnings.
Failures for the week number 213
in the United States against 1872 last
year and 16 in Canada against rs a

The Gun Defender.

Bristol, R. THAT Tobin bronze
will be the chief material composing
the defender sloop now in course of
construction at the shops here has
been definitely decided upon and the
important decision has been given out
as a result of conference between
G. Oliver Iselin and the designer, Nat
Herreshoff. Sheets of metal have ar
rived here from Ansonia, Conn.,, and
machinists are engaged in cutting
them into plates of size suitable for
use on the sides of the craft.
A test of the relative strength of the
bronze and nickel steel proved the lat
ter to be very much stronger, as well
as much lighter. But the merits of
the bronze as compared with the steel
are thought to be unquestioned, chiefly
because of the excellent polish which
the metal takes and it's superior quail
ties to withstand corrosion from salt
water. The lead keel today was laid
bare and was found by the designer to
be in perfect condition as regards form
and outline.

FATAL EXPLOSION IN CHICAGO
Thirteen Persons Killed in Swift &
Co.'s Plant.

Chicago-With a deafening report
boiler in Swift & Co.'s plant exploded
shortly after 10 o'clock in. the morn
ing. Thirteen lives were sacrificed
and scores of employees, visitors and
others were injured. Huge boilers
were sent through the roof of the boil
er house and hurled hundreds of feet.
Nobody within the boiler room sur
vived to tell the story of the accident
and 1t may never be known what
caused the explosion. A careful in
vestigation later, however, convinced
the experts that the explosion was the
result of carelessness on the part OF
an employee, whose own life also was
lost. Five minutes after the explosion
nothing of the boiler house but a pile
of twisted iron, bricks and mortar re-
manned.
Flames sprang from the ruins and
the spectators realized that it would
be impossible to save the lives of those
who were caught in the wreck.
The explosion was of such force that
adjoining buildings were wrecked, torn
and twisted like toys. Men, women
and boys at work in adjoining depart
ments were hurled through windows
to the ground below. Many of them
escaped with slight bruises, but most
of the victims were hurt to such an
extent that it was necessary to re-
move them to hospitals. The others
were taken to their homes.
Digging for Victims.
While the fire was still burning
police, firemen and employees of the
packing firm began digging in the
ruins. Soon the mangled remains of
a man were discovered. At the same
time other rescuers were digging with
desperation to rescue several victims
who were still alive. Bodies, torn,
bruised or mangled, were taken from
the ruins and sent to the morgues. A
boy, scalded from head to foot and
bleeding from cuts and bruises, stag
gered toward the office of General Sup
Young's personal messenger. The lad
however, had been so badly disfigured
that Mr.. Young did not recognize him
1t is not thought the loss to Swift
& Co. will amount to more than $50,
900. The officials of the company de
clare that this will cover the damage
as nearly as they are able to estimate
at the present time. The building in
which the boilers were located was the
only structure to be entirely destroyed
and it was small structure, one story
high. The storehouse which stood
close to the boiler house was badly
damaged, portion of it's wall being
torn, but it is only two stories high
With the exception of the demolished
house there is no damage that can no
be repaired within ten days.
