DUN's REVIEW.

New York, June 20 R. c. Dun & Co $ weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Trade at the East is more quiet owing to the advancing season and the bad ef- feet of prolonged labor controversies Is being felt in certain line3. Reports from the interior and the far West are more encouraging; bountiful harvests being expected while the light stocks carried over from the previous season assure profitable prices. The best indicator of continued prosperity iS the fact that quo- tatlons do not recede even in the lines phere at present there Is at only a med crate degree of activity. Railway arm ing5 thus far reported for June increased 39 per cent over 1870.
 Uncertainty r;gsrding their ability to secure pig iron at reasonable prices is making producers of steel cautions in accepting contracts that call for deliv- cry at even remote dates.
 Raw material is un 7oubtedly in light supply and the anthracite coal strike has suspended work at number of furnaces. Coke production is attaining new records each week i1 the endeavo- to supply all requirements and better railway facili- ties are m9 king unp 'ece3ented shipments from the Connelsville reg.on. Soft coal is beginning to show the effect of an abnormal demand. In certain lines of finished steel products the addition of new plants to the productive capacity has had a perceptible influence on prizes. introducing more competition. This fac tor is felt in only few divisions. how ever, and in all heavy lines. notably rails and structu;al te ial. orders ran far into next year and there is no ques- ton of concessions in quotations. Job bers having a surplus of bar iron sold mcdeI ate quantities at a lower figure than the market rate, but steel bars are firmer.
 Quite conditions prev all .n Eastern dry g Jods and footwear markets.
 A stronger silver market has revived purchases for export to China, although. like the home trade this is still on a moderate scale. Supplemental buying of wooIens is also limited.
 It Is noteworthy that prices in all tex tic lines are firmly held, despite the slow movement. indicating confidence on the part of sellers. Shoe shops in New England have more orders yet most fac tories only operate part of the time and some are entirely idle.
 Leather is dull and foreign dry hides weaker.
 Lack of rain in the Southwest Is the only seriously unfavorable crop indica- tion of the week while exceptionally en- couraging reports are received from most points. Domestic grain makes good progress, but bad news has been received from abroad and the outlook is favor ble for large exports.
 Failures for the week numbered 19i in the United States, against 1s3 last year, and 10 in Canada. against IA d year ago.

BURIAL OF AN INDIAN.

 to Rest in New York.
New York Times.

New York Times.
 | Evans Bradby. last of the line in direct senaca Indians. Powhatan. receivec Christian burial yesterday. Several of his race witnessed the burial service of | the Baptist Church, to which he had been converted and of which he was a devout member. The service was in the rooms of the Stephen Merritt Burial and Gre nation Company yesterday afternoon. and ryas performed by Aiga Tahament.
 Just before the beginning of the service the Indians filed in, and as they passed the casket they said, one after the other. "Friend and fellow" With the Indians was Mrs. Harriet Maxwell Converse. the only woman ever admitted to the Sen ecas. The Indians ranged Themselves in semi-circle near the body Albert Page. John and Ernest Bradoy, cousins of the dead brave, wept bitterly. but the other Indians betrayed no signs of their sor- row. Annie Thornlaw, the girl for love of whom the dead chief lost his mind, was at the far end of the circle.
 The service was opened with prayer and quotations from the Scriptures. Then those present sang the dead mans man fayor- n Cloud spoke in eulogy of the dead. His voice trembled with emotion as he told of the Indians conception of the Great Spirit"
 ''I am not boasting." he said, but it Is true that there Is no profane word in any Indian language. We marvel at his works and wonder that the pale race daresN to speak lightly of the ruler of the light ming, the flood. the sun, moon and stars, and that in anger he dares to use the name of one who in His anger can destroy all."
 Broadly died on Tuesday in the Pa vIlion for Insane at Bellevue Hospital. He was taken there from the Fall River steamboat Priscilla, on which he was an assistant steward. Some time ago he fell in love with Annie Thornlaw, the dauga- ter of the engineer on the boat and when he learned that he could receive no hope of marriage. as her parents had objected to his color he brooded until he became insane. He was born and brought up Tn Virginia.

Anna is a young mu- latto woman about 25 years of age. The evidence went to show that she first kill ed moccasin and cut off its head and dried it in the sun. After 1t was thorough. ly dry she ground the snakes head to powder and sprinkled it on her husbands feet. She said that this only made him grow fatter. She sprinkled the snake pow der on his feet while he was asleep.
 Some one told her that Paris green would kill him. She procured a quantity of the poison and put 1t in his milk. but 1t failed to produce death and she was in despair of getting rid of her spouse with out resorting to knocking him in the head with an ax, and this she did not wish to do on account of being suspect ed of killing him.
