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-
manned quiet, and may be said to have
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, more i'm
mediate reflection of current business,
show an enlargement over last week,
but grand totals will still show recess
sions from 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 season Of depression
must come every ten years, while the
coincidence Of a presidential election
furnishes another precedent. AS a 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 hay
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 257 in
the United States, against 213 last
year, and 16 in Canada, compared with
"a a year ago."

Missoula, Mont, June 20.-With re-
ward of $4,000 hanging over each of the

and with a number of posses in what is
believed to be close pursuit, not a word
has come to indicate the capture of any
member of the gang. The amount Sc
cured by them from the express COM

burdened as they were, they could make
no Roadway against the overpowering
swirl of the tide as it rushes from the
East river into the sound.
Many May Be Eafe.
There are number. of places where
the living may have landed, and 1t 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 tie breaking
out of the flames on the General Slo-
cum. and at least 200 persons were
taken to the hospitals. Not death
has occurred so far among these, and
many of them have already been dis
charged.

A Little Hero.

Perishing in trying to save his
younger brother from drowning in the
Mississippi, at Minneapolis, John Otter;
aged 10 years, died hero.
Several boys were swimming near
Thirteenth avenue NE, when Matthias
Otter, aged years, ventured beyond
his depth and cried for help. His broth
er hurried into the water and caught
the little fellow. He managed to push
him to the shore, but was so fatigued
that the current was too much for him
and he was himself carried beyond his
depth. Before his companions on the
shore realized what was happening,
the young hero sank and drowned

The Little Red School House.

Little red school houses on the hill
are being built in Minnesota in large
numbers, if the school loans made by
the state investment board are an in
dication of the number of new struct-
ures The board loaned approximate
ly 100000 in the fiscal year ending
July 81, 1908, and the amount will be
greater in 1904. This sum includes
loans to counties and townships, but a
large part of it is to school districts
for building new school houses or re-
pairing old structures. The state
auditor has no information as to the
character of the new school houses,
but it is learned from other sources
that the buildings erected this year
are generally more substantial and
more commodious than those built in
previous years.

ows, the chances were that the boat
would have been burned to the waters
edge and the passengers with it before
we reached the Meadows.
Even if it would not have been
burned, the boat, striking the Mead
ows, would have backed off again, and
everybody on board when they jumped
off would have been drowned in deep
water And if had run to the neck
of the Bronx shore, could not have

board.
Il knew the water was very deep
there, and thought the people would
have no chance to save their lives by

rate, would have prevented me from
going in that direction without some
delay"
Previous statements have been to the
effect that the fire was discovered be-
fore the boat passed the Sunken Mead

sorrow
"In carrying out the command of my
most gracious sovereign, allow me at
