Local Packing.
The marketing of hogs still remains
light as compared with the previous
weeks, and the number packed in COM
parison with the same period last year
shows marked falling Off This,
however. is greatly due to the aston
ishing high figure being brought by the
porkers. The top price quoted for
hogs at the close of this week is $3.50
and this is the highest figure reached
by this product in years. The local
plant packed $500 hogs in the past
seven days. and although it shows a
slight increase over the marketings for
last week( it falls 500 short of the to-
tai for the week previous.
f Western Packing. IS
Throughout the west the offerings of
hogs have decreased. The total west:
ern packing is 100000, compared with
455,00 thel preceding week and 485,-
900 last year. Since March 1 the total
is 6,420sOoO against T,5S5,OOO a year

New Plants Being Added to Industrial

New York, Sept. s.-Dun's Weekly
report says: Steady progress is report
eel in trade industry. Distribution OF
merchandise is heavy and healthy
tone is evident. Domestic conditions
continue much better than those ex-

more attention than foreign commerce
Farm products have appreciated IN

Earnings of railways during August
were SO per cent larger than a year
ago anu 1879 per cent in excess Of 1900.
Better deliveries of coke and liberal
receipts of foreign material have
lessened the pressure in the iron and

New plants are being added to the
productive capacity as rapidly as pos
sible, but in railway equipment, es-
pecially steel rails, orders are already
placed for much of next year.
Wheat is coming forward freely,
though receipts do not equal the alb
normally heavy movement year ago.
Corn developed strength because OF
fears that injury will be done by frost

that the eruption of Mont Pelee on
August 80, was far more violent than
any of the earlier explosions.
AS the eruptions continue the mouth
of Mont Pelee grows in size. 1t is now
of enormous proportions. Morne La
Croix, one of the peaks that reared
sllyward from the south side of Pelee,
had fallen bodily into the crater, and
has been completely swallowed up.
There seems 10 be side pressure in
the crater and the burning chasm

everything away. The column of flame
and smoke rears directly into the
heavens so that its top is lost to sight.
In the darkness of the night it has the
appearance of stream of molten iron,
standing fixed between heaven and
earth. From Morne Capote the relief
troops were compelled to make quick
retreat, although they succeeded in
taking out few wounded. The entire

IN INTERNATIONAL BANK.
Facilitate Exchange Remittances
in Western Hemisphere.
UNITED STATES SUPREME,

New York, Sept. 6.-Pians were made
at a meeting of the directors OF the
Mexican Trust bank for the formation
of an international banking institu-
ton, capitalized at 100000, 900, and
designed especially to operate in Latin
American countries. The scheme in
wolves the consolidation of the Mexican
Trust company bank and the Corpora
ton Trust com ny. The combination
is to be known as the International
Bank and Trust Company of America.
corporations have signed the CONSOLE
dation agreement and a majority of
the stockholders of both concerns
already have signitied their approval
of the plan.
The general clearing house for the
various branches of the corporation
will be located in New York city. The
company will not do IA local banking
business, but its special effort will be
between all cities of the American
hemisphere. The purpose will be to
divert to New York the very large
amount of Latin American exchange
that now goes TO London, Berlin and
Paris
w. III. Hunt, who was the originator
and present president of the Mexican
Trust company bank, will be president
of the corporation. In regard to the
consolidation, Mr.. Hunt said: 1--WE are
thoroughly convinced that New York
is to be the future financial center of
the world. 1t is preposterous that the
settlement of trade balances between
American countries should continue
through the banks of Europe. The
American banking system must be de-
veioped in foreign countries along with
this country's industrial expansion. 1t
will be our purpose to afford means
by which American man ufacturers and
exporters may settle their balances
through banking house pledged to
American interests and TO the financial
and commercial supremacy of the
United States, with New York as its
clearing house. We shall expect to do
not only banking business, hut to
afford assistance in the building up of
those American countries whose
natural resources are so well known,
but which have hitherto lacked the
organized capital necessary for the
greatest development"
