without controversy. which removes
one threatening industrial factor, and in
several branches of business orders are
more numerous, but in the steel industry
there is little expectation of liberal buy
ing until 1904. Construction work Is de-
creasing, despite optimistic reports OF
more building permits issued last month
than year ago. Mild weather still
checks distribution of merchandise usu-
ally in brisk demand at this season,
which is reflected in restricted activity
at wooden and worsted mills and cloth
ing factories. THERE'S not the complaint
OF traffic congestion that was SO frequent
last year at this time. railway earnings
81 per cent. higher than in November
to date in 1902 testify1ng to the increase
In facilities. A week has passed with
out any frrther reduction in prices Of
iron and steel, and sentiment In the trade
favors stability at the present position.
Failures this week were 249 in the
United States, against 266 last year, and
IL in Canada, compared with "a year
ago.

WEATHER HAS GOOD EFFECT
Retail Trade Greatly Stimulated By
Lower Temperature.
Demand for Holiday Goods In sono
Sections II Better Than
LAST Year.

New York, Nov 23.-Bradstreets says:
Colder weather over the greater part
of the country has greatly stimulated
retail trade, and incidentally qu1ckened
jobbing demand In seasonable linen.
In some sections inquiries for holiday
goods exceed last years, the feature be-
ing the high grade OF materials taken.
Interior retailers. helped by propitious
agricultural conditions, are reported
meeting obligations more promptly.
Farming interests are apparently in good
financial condition, an inference that
seems to be evidenced by the fact that
they display unwillingness to part with
their surplus products at anything less
than what they deem satisfactory prices,
though the movement of currency to
the interior continues, but on smaller
scale than for some weeks. Southern
conditions are especially good. While
the foregoing are the favorable develop
ments of the week, the fact must not be
overlooked that labor troubles, the
gloomy outlook for building, the clos
ing down of iron and steel mills, blast
furnaces and leather tanneries and the
continued hesitancy in the buying OF
practically all commodities, are factors
that mar the Industrial as well as the
commercial fabric

Awful Struggle for Life.
Then began struggle for the outside
and life They fought and scrambled
for the doors, and the weaker were
crushed down and trampled. Others
were roasted to death there.
Those who strove for the door were
in the widest sort of panic. They
fought and kicked, and among those
who escaped there are many who bear
marks Of the fierce strife, which took
place in this battle for life. A few
got out of the small windows, minus
clothes, and with their bodies cut from
broken glass.
: Many OF those who did manage to get
out had their savings Of years In their
trunks, which they left behind them
In the building. Remembering this
fact as soon as they got outside, they
fought just as fiercely to get back. A
few succeeded, but for the sake Of
their boarded treasure they gave up
their lives. One eyewitness says he
does not believe that single man of
those who returned succeeded in get
ting out again. In the ruins Saturday
some of the corpses were close beside
the hoped bands OF their trunks, and
melted gold and silver which had been
kept in those receptacles indicated that
they had fallen and died with their
treasure in their arms. The bodies
were all practically burned to pieces.
An italian who looked at them, and
who knew every man in the shanty, was
unable to identify single one.
