New York. Aug. Ar. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Aside from the seasonable dullness in
wholesale departments commercial &C.
tivity is well maintained, and early
preparations are made for autumn and
winter business. August opened with
no adverse developments in the trade
situation. while crop progress during
July was most favorable, Trade re-
ports are especially gratifying from the
northwest and other points that are
dependent upon agricultural results,
but all sections of the nation enjoy
great prosperity, and there is scarce
II a discordant note in airy Of the dis
patches. Scarcity of labor is the only
serious complaint
1t is not often that managers of a
leading industry are uneasy regarding
the future because of too much bust
ness. yet that is becoming the situation
at iron furnaces and steel mills. Or
ders on the books are far in excess of
similar comparisons in earlier years.

Crowds rushed forward pushing
each other and fighting for places in

men threw themselves into the sea.
In the midst of this panic the captain
and officers of the Sirio endeavored in

complished. for the vessel suddenly
either broke in half or gided off the
