Many May Be Safe. @
There are . number of places where
the living may have landed, and It is
believed that many that are now re-
ported missing are safe, and eventu-
ally will be heard from by the officials
who have the rescue work in hand.
Indeed, surprising number of persons
reported to these officials that they
had been saved, thus cutting the list
of missing down considerably, as well
as the probable mortality list.
Many Injured.
Many persons who were injured in
the panic that followed the breaking
out Of the flames on the General Slo-

Denver, Col, June 16.-Gov. Peabody

He issued proclamation to the citizens

of the Slocum's officers and crew to meet
the emergency, but as yet no formal
action has been taken by either the

TRADE REVIEW.
Leading Crops Show Marked Improve.
ment-General Trade and
Industry Quiet.

New York, June 1S.-Bradstreet's
reviewing the State of trade, says:
Favorable features this week are the
further improvement shown in leading
crops and the ending of the tie-up on
the great lakes. Wheat, oats and cot
ton have improved, but corn is still
backward, owing to the cool weather.
General trade and industry have re-
NAMED quiet, and may be said tothave
marked time" The notable underly-
ing feature Of the entire situation is the
feeling that with an average crop of
wheat and large yields of the other
cereals and Of cotton now in prospect,
a good fall and winter business is to be
looked for. Pending further progress
In this direction the tendency is to
await events. Railway earnings reflect
current quietness in business, and the
decreases of three-fifths per cent. of
gross in May and of six per cent. in
April net, indicated last week, are con-
firmed by fuller details. Transports
ton business generally is better than
in 1902. Bank clearings, a more i'm
mediate reflection of current business,
show an enlargement over last week,
but grand totals will still show recess.
sions from q year ago."
R. G. Dun & Co., in their Weekly
Review Of Trade, say: Industry suf-
fers from an epidemic of ultra con-
servatism, emanating apparently from
the theory that q season of depression
must come every ten years, while the
coincidence Of a presidential election
furnishes another precedent. AS re-
suit stocks of merchandise have been
reduced, railway traffic is lessened.
preparations for future business are
curtailed and less money is distributed
in the form of wages; while those hav-
ing capital to invest confine their at
tention to the highest classes of bonds
or hold back for still lower security
prices.
Failures this week numbered PSI in
the United States. against 213 last

The convention instructed the delega-
ton to the democratic national conven-
ton to vote for Mr.. Hearst for president
as long as his name remained before the
convention.
The resolutions adopted denounce
the past eight years of republican riot
.of corruption and extravaganza, favor
itism and misrule; point to the failure
Of the attorney general to prosecute H.
legal trusts and combinations, and to
the fact that he left it to a private cit
fzen, at large expense, to uncover the
coal trust; record the steadfast conf
dence Of the party in the perpetuity Of
self-government; pledge the demo-
cratic party Of Illinois to enact direct
primary election legislation for the
whole state, a law for proper regula-
ton Of service and charges of street
railroads, gas. electric light, telephone
and power companies, and an effective
state civil service law. The resolu-
tions recommend the extension of fur
ther suffrage rights to women; favor
just compensation for labor, and uphold
the right Of labor to be fraternal, and de-
mana that the government be taken
out of the hands of the friends of mo-
nopoly and restored to the unbranded
representatives Of the people.

The government crop report states
that on May there were 100000
acres less in winter wheat than were
one year ago. In the month of April
about 100000 acres Of wheat were
plowed up to be planted in other crops
because the grain was badly winter
killed. The heaviest loss was in In.
dian and nearby states. This gives
some idea of the fearful damage done
by the hard winter. The indications
now are for a short crop Of wheat.
The plowed wheat land will mostly go
into oats and corn.
