TRADE REVIEW.
severe storms Prove the Only Unfa-
vorabIe Factor to business
During the Week.

New York. Feb. S.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review OF Trade says: Interrupt
ton to railway traffic and outdoor work
by severe storms was the only unfavor-
able factor in the business situation dur
Ing the past week. while manufacturing
activity increased and distribution
through retail channels was undiminished.
Reports from the west are especially en-
couraging, but a few southern points are
slow to exhibit Improvement. Railway
earnings continue their monotonous record
Of increase, for January gaining 7.2 per
cent over last year, and 2i2 per cent. over
1900. The fourth weeks earnings were some
what reduced by bad weather. Famine
conditions exist in the market for pig iron.
1t Is doubtful whether there was ever
time In the history Of the nation when
this metal was so scarce. Considering the
fact that production during 1901 was far
beyond all previous records, the present
shortage gives indisputable evidence of the
unprecedented rate-at which the mills have
been consuming. Controlling interests dep
recate all tendencies to initiate prices rec
ognizing the fact that the continued heavy
consumption is dependent upon quotations
held at reasonable profit. Nevertheless.
II deliveries are wanted before July !, 1t
Is often necessary to pay premium, and
consumers have been compelled In some In
stances to place orders abroad. Efforts
are being made to repurchase iron sent
abroad last year. since that may evade the
duty.
Final returns of commercial failures
during January exhibit an exceptionally
large number Of insolvencies and also an
unusual amount of defaulted liabilities.
In manufacturing lines there were 264
failures involving sos. 94S. an increase
OF 81 .607, 1854 over the liabilities last year.

Louis Fire.

Chicago, Feb. 6.-Eleven lives were
lost and score of persons injured in
an explosion on Wednesday night that
demolished two buildings and blew
out the fronts of dozen other struc-
lures in Archer avenue at Twenty
second street. Street cars were lift
ed from the rails and whirled round
and round on the pavement, gas mains
blew up and sent steel and iron man
hole covers crashing through space,
flame mounted high at dozen points
and panic reigned for almost an hour.
Firemen and policemen and ambu-
lances and patrol wagons were hur-
ried to the scene, and the conveyances
were used to carry away the injured.
The list of dead is as follows:
Otto Trostel, butcher. 376 Twenty-secopd
street.
Mrs. Otto Trostel.
Otto Trostel, Jr., aged IL years.
Anna Trostel, aged. nine years.

street; was. in butcher shop visiting with
family.
Unknown, woman.
Unknown man.
Scores of people were more or less
injured.
The first explosion, which was fol-
lowed by four more bursts of flame
and noise along the road in Archer
avenue, occurred in the basement of
the meat shop conducted by Otto
Trostel, two-story brick and frame
building at 376 Twenty-second street.
There was a terrific roar and the
frame building trembled, then seemed
to fall into thousand parts and col
lapse. The entire front blew out and
went whirling across the avenue,
while the roof and the side walls
crumbled and fell in, carrying the
helpless men and women and chill
dren down into the mass of fire and
broken timbers. The flash of fire that
accompanied the defamation and the
collapse of the meat market illumi-
mated the avenue for half mile in
either direction.
The property losses include not
merely the buildings destroyed by
fire, but the broken windows and
damaged stock of practically all the
stores within block of the explo-
sion. A partial estimate places the
losses at about $4,000.

Detailing Movements of
British Troops.

London, Feb. 10.-From Wolvehoek
Lord Kitchener on Sunday tele-
graphed long description of COM
bined movement of numerous British
columns with the object of securing
Gen. De Wet. Lord Kitchener says the

airy 4, the whole force moving from
various directions and forming con-
tinuous line of mounted men on the
west bank of the Liebenbergs Wei,
from Frankfort as far south as Fam
ny's Home, and thence to Kafiirkoff.
The line then advanced to the west,
and the following night the British in
trenched with their outposts so yards
apart. They held the line from Hol-
land, on the Heilbron-Frankfort block
house line, to Doornkloof, on the
Kroonstadt-Lindley blockhouse line,
while the columns were also working
in advance of the blockhouse lines to
prevent De Vets crossing.
The advance was continued Febru-
airy and De Wet was within the in
closure, but, realizing his position, he
ordered his men to dispense and seek
safety during the night. De Wet him
self, with some men and number of
cattle, made for the Kroonstadt-Lind-
ley blockhouse line. and at one o'clock
in the morning, when it was very dark,
by rushing his cattle at the fence
broke his way through the line, mixed
up with the cattle, and losing three
men killed. Many attempts were made
to break through the line on the night
of February z, reports Lord Kitchen
err, the line of outposts being attacked
at various places throughout the
night. But very few escaped, and ten
dead Beers were picked up in the
morning near Hebron. 81 did not get
exact details of the Boer casualties"
continues Lord Kitchener, "but as far
as have ascertained they consist of
2s3 in killed, wounded and prisoners,
as well as about 700 tired horses and
many cattle. Our casualties were only
ten"
