Confidence in Future Pros
poets Is Gratifying Fea-
ture of All the Reports

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Dun's weekly
review OF trade tomorrow will say:
Distribution of autumn merchandise is
in progress unusually early this year,
and the volume of forwarded business IL
SO heavy that the last half Of 1905 prom
commercial activity. Current retail trade
is well maintained. Special reports re-
garding manufacturing conditions have
been received from about forty leading
industrial centers and there Is surprising
unanimity in the statements. With
scarcely an exception plants are working
close to full capacity with little idle ma
chinery except where alterations or I'M
provements are in progress and contracts
on hand far exceed those held at this
date In 1904 Equally gratifying Is the
confidence expressed in the future,
prominent feature of most reports. En-
couraging crop prospects provide large
share of the good feeling. Railway earn
ings in the first half of August surpass
last years by 5.3 per cent.
Recent conditions In hides and leather
are accentuated and it is evidently the
policy OF stl ong interests to sustain hides
at the best position while neglecting
leather.
Failures this week numbered 100 in the
United States, against $50 last year, and
q in Canada, against 80 year ago.

WILL PROBABLY
Be ABOLISHED

WASHINGTON, Aug. &-The question
of retaining the postoffice Station d at
the Ferry in San Francisco about which
there has been so much discussion, will
probably be determined by the Postoffice
Department within few days. 1t is
probable that the station, as it now ex-
lists, will be abolished and that in its
place there will be established at the
Ferry a postal station for the handling
of first-class mail matter only. First As
sistant Postmaster General Hitchcock.
acting as the head of the department in
the absence of Mr.. Cortelyou, will prob
ably decide the matter without waiting
for the return of his chief, who will be
away from Washington until October
next.
Hitchcock, who has been absent from
the department for week. will not re-
turn until tomorrow and his views re-
garding the question of continuing or
abolishing Station d are therefore not
now obtainable but officials of the Post
office Department who have considered
the matter in all it's bearings and by
whose recommendations the Postmaster
General will doubtless be governed are
of the opinion that the postal service of
San Francisco will be best administered
and the people best accommodated by
having the bulk of the business now done
at the Ferry station handled at the gem
eral postoffice and by retaining Station
D as small sub-office for first-class
matter.
These officials take the ground that am
pie facilities are now offered at the new
postoffice building for the satisfactory
transaction of the city's postal business
and that the great expense of the main
tenance of Station - with It's large force
Of clerks may be materially lessened with
out detriment to the Federal service.

NINE ARE DEAD,
TWO MISSING

DENVER, Aug. 25.-The cloudburst

near Trinidad, last evening was not so
damaging to the property of the Colo
rado Fuel and Iron Company and the
Colorado and Southern Railroad Com
pany as at first reported. according to
a statement given out tonight at the
Headquarters of the former company in
this city.
The greatest loss to the fuel com
pany will come from the shutdown of
its mines and other property conse-
quent upon the death of some of its
employees and the temporary stoppage
of railroad traffic. Shipments of coal
to the coke ovens will necessarily be
held up, although the fuel company's
officials are confident that they will
have their own lines in shape soon and
the Colorado Southern people have
named Sunday as the time they expect
to renew operations on the branch line
between Berwin and Tobasco to Lud-
low, the seat of the large coking in
dustry of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company.
The following is the list of the dead
and missing as officially reported to the
fuel company here:
Mrs. Joseph Veltrie- and small child,
Pasqual Cauto, Joseph Mozzasco, Rafael
Buccho, Antonio Constantine, Philip
Pastere, Pasqual Bottalmo, James Am
otherman, Harry O'Neil, William Ray
ball.
The report does not separate the dead
from the missing in the list
The representatives of the fuel COM
pany at the scene of the disaster have
been instructed to provide for the fami-
lies of the employees who were drowned
and as fast as the bodies are recovered
they are taken to Trinidad for burial.
Because of the interruption to wire
communication with Trinidad and the
coal camps in the vicinity and the
heavy crush of business following the
re-establishment of the limited service
at present provided, details Of the
scope of the storm have been coming
into Trinidad slowly during the day
and at midnight it was impossible to
get anything like an accurate report
of the extent of the damage wrought.
