HIS NARROW ESCAPE.
President Roosevelt Thrown from His
Horse-Lies Unconscious IN
Field. $T'

Washington, Nov. 3.-President
Roosevelt had an escape from death, so
narrow that it was almost miraculous,
while he was riding through the country
near Washington q week ago last Sun
day afternoon. The accident did not be-
come known until Wednesday,. The
president was approaching high fence
at top speed, when his horse stumbled
and fell, throwing Mr.. Roosevelt heavily.
He struck sQuarely on his head, and
was so severely stunned that. he was
unconscious for some time, just how
long he does not know, as he was riding
entirely alone. When he regained his
senses he found his horse standing near
him. The president tried to mount, but
was so dizzy from the shock that he
could not stand. It was some time be-
fore he regained full control of his legs
and arms. He then remounted and rode
at slow pace to the point where his
orderly was waiting for him. BY that
time there was great lump on the right
side of the presidents head and blood
was trickling from long but shallow:
scalp wound above the right ear, where
his head had grazed q stone. The cut
extended down onto the forehead and
the evidences Of it are still there. The
president regards 1t as miracle that his
neck was not broken by the force Of his
fall. The president ordered that not q.
word be said about his accident A
prominent Official told the story toshow
how close Secretary Hay had been to
the presidency. II

TRADE CONDITIONS.
Continued improvement Is Shown
No Evidence Of Anxiety 2
for the Future. q gG&

New York, Nov. .5.-R. G.. Dun 4
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business improves steadily, and there
is no evidence of anxiety regarding
the future. Payments are more
promptly met, tending to stimulate
preparations for coming trade and the
disposition to limit purchases to i'm
mediate needs Is gradually disappear
ing. Conservatism during the sum-
mer and autumn had beneficial effect,
reducing stocks to q low point. AS
demand broadens, this scarcity Of sup
ply produces pressure for quick deliv-
cry, and prices are strengthened. Aside
from imitation caused by speculation,
there Is no better sign of commercial
progress than advancing commodity
markets. All the leading branches Of
manufacture are in q better position,
with noteworthy activity at iron fur
naces, WOODEN mills and footwear fac
tories.
Commercial failures this week in
the United States are 229, against 1888
last week, 215 the preceding week and
246 the corresponding week last year.
Failures in Canada number ~, against
28 last week, 80 the preceding week
and 20 last year."
Bradstreet's says: WARN weather,
activity in fall farm work and, to q
lesser degree, ante-election interest,
have detracted from retail trade dis
tribution north and west. q For like
reasons jobbing sales are rather
smaller in volume. Against this, how
ever, is to be cited increased activity
in number Of industries, headed by
iron, steel and allied lines of manu-
facture. Resumption of work by 10000
eastern cotton mill hands is feature,
but the great Fall River tie-up contirl-
ues, and the strike Of comparatively
small numbers of mine employees is
responsible for the idleness of close to
10000 Indiana and Illinois coal miners
and higher prices for bituminous COAL.
A very general advance in staple
prices, covering wide range of in
dustry, is an event worthy of note"
