London. May H. l a. m.-Nearly all the un-
official information received here in regard to
the Martinique horror comes from either Paris
or New-York. Official dispatches continue to
drbble into the Colonial Office. Those that were
received up to a late hour last night were very
brief but they were sufficient to indicate that
previous reports of the volcanic disaster in the
West Indies had certainly not exaggerated Its
awful character. Administrator Bell, at Do

New York, Dec. 6.-Bradstreet's
commercial report says: Seasonable
winter weather, hitherto conspicu-
ously lacking, has come very much
into evidence this week, with the re-
suit Of expanding retail trade in win
ter goods, rubbers and wearing ap-
parel generally. Killing frosts have
about put period to the marvellous
fall season Of 1902 and in the south
the cotton crop may be said to be
made, so far as further growth is
concerned. All the usual seasonable
changes have about come to pass.
Dairy products and produce generally
are higher, lake navigation is about
over, iron ore shipments have ended
after the greatest movement on rec
ord and the wheat crop has gone into
winter quarters with fair covering
Of snow in northern ATTITUDES and
with very generally satisfactory
condition ruling throughout much Of
the admittedly very large acreage.
Hessian fly damage to some of the
early sown and too rank growth in
the southwest are the only COM
plants heard Of. Threshing is about
completed in the northwest and farm
ers display more willingness to part
with their products. Cold weather
from now out is needed to insure
the large movement of corn expected
as the result of active export and
home demand. The years approach
ing end finds prices well up to the
highest point in IS months, though
meats, an important element in food
supplies, are steadily declining on
good receipts. Next to the expecta-
tons, already partly realized, that an
enormous holiday business will be
done, the most notable feature Is the
practical unanimity Of opinion that q
large spring trade is in prospect,
ground for this being furnished by
the unprecedented volume Of such
business already booked. The fea-
ture in foreign trade is the turn in
tho tide of corn exports, which have
at last begun to expand after Is
months of scarcity, high prices and
trifing shipments.
