MINE IS SEALED UP.
Blaze Eating Way Into Main Shaft
at Cherry Causes Action.


The st. Paul mine at Cherry, H.,
was sealed up Wednesday night and
will not be opened again for several
weeks. This action was taken when
it became known that the fire could
not be controlled No attempt will be
made to rescue the bodies still in the
tunnels until the flames are under
control. 1t is estimated that 204 bodies
are sealed up in the mine. A large
number were located Wednesday,
riously estimated at from 6S to 169-
in the third vein level of the st. Paul
mine. The total number of dead from
the great disaster is now authorita-
lively placed at 1893.
The danger of the fire working
through the coal deposits in the Sec
ond vein and up the face of the main
shaft increased hourly Wednesday
afternoon all workers, with the excep-
ton of Captain Corrigan and his men
of the Chicago fire department, were
driven from the mine by the menac-
ing fire. At great hazard, Captain
Corrigan and the fremen in a cage
worked up and down the main shaft,
blocking the blaze as it broke through
the walls near the cage guides. Fear
was felt that the timbering in the
main shaft and also at the bottom
might give way without warning and
entrap all rescuers in the mine at the
time. Captain Corrigan discovered
that the insldious fire had eaten its
way through the coal at a depth of
several feet from the face of the main
shaft and the tunnels. This hidden
combustion, the extent or intensity of
which cannot be estimated, may also
ignite large pocket of imprisoned
gases on the second level.

CHICAGO.

II. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review OF
Chicago trade. says:
Thanksgiving trade in the leading
retail lines responded amply to expee-
tations and sustained progress in bus
mess generally is evidenced by furth-
er gains in solvent payments through
the banks and decreased ratio in trad
ing defaults. Industrial conditions
disclose no cessation in the extent and
variety of new demands, while in most
branches of heavy production activity
steadily extends.
Contracts include fair tonnages of
pig iron and substantial quantities of
rails, cars, power and equipment, ma
chinery and hardware
Chicago railroad earnings maintain
notable gross gains over those of
year ago. Ship building is strength
ened by additional orders and the iron,
brass. electric and furniture shops pro-
duce more extensively to meet urgent
requirements.
Prices of the principal materials for
factory consumption remain quite
firm, while various finished products
soon may be marked up Lumber deal
ings reflect broader absorption OF
both hard and soft woods. Hides,
leather and wool continue in good de-
mand.
Agriculturists are reaping very prof
liable returns. and now buy lib
orally of necessaries, machinery, We
hicles and materials for farm improve
ments. Interior dealers find their
stocks of general merchandise under
rapid depletion. Prompt replenish-
ment is noted in seasonable lines.
Money remains in good general re-
quest by the manufacturing and mer-
camille interests; sales of local secu-
rites largely exceed those at this time
last year and further gains appear in
new building permits and realty sales.
Bank clearings, 1921, O06,1S4, exceed
those of the corresponding week in
1908 by SO per cent and compare with
1859. Isl. $40 in 1907
Failures reported in the Chicago dis
trict, number twenty-three, against
twenty-seyen last week, twenty-six in
1908 and twenty-three in 1907. Those
with liabilities over $1,000 number
seven, against six last week, five in
1908 and thirteen in 1907.
