Dun A Coa Weekly Review of Trade nri: Improvement has extended from thi banks to toe mills. Toe condition 01 many great Industries has distinctly mended, though still seriously do pressed. More Important by far than any rise la stocks lit the fact tbst more works hare resumed during' the past week than have stopped operation, so that the producing' force of the country after months of constant decline, has begun to increase. Th money markets are more healthy, the premium on currency has almost vanished, the embarrassments in domestic exchanges hare well nigh disappeared, and while very little money is yet available for commercial or industrial loans there is some relief in that respect also, Soft steel lias reached the lowest point on record,20 at Pittsburg, and consequently all the rail mills in the country are idle, but there ia a somewhat better demand for hardware, wire rods and barbed wire, and contract- for architectural works and agricultural implements supplies are reported at Chicago. bales of wool hare been the lowest on record for years, L.271.0UO pounds at the principal markets for the last week, against 7,610,800 for the same week last year, the average of 104 grades being seventeen cents, the lowest for many years. In the cotton mills resumption of work is quite gen eral; the paper business is doing bet ter, but shipments of boots and shoes from Boston are thirty-two per cent smaller for the week than last year, and in three months there has been about 800,000 cases, against 1,050,000 last year. Chicago report of cattle in August were 209,224 bead, against 818,681 last year, a decrease over fif teen per cent These evidence of the extent of de pression are needed now, because they show why the sudden recovery which some look for is not possible, It must take time to revive business after such a shock as it has sustained, and there is no occasion for disheart enment if recovery is slow. The pros pects for corn have not improved and the injury done by drouth seems to in sure a much smaller yield than was expected. The price during the week has advanced fully one and one-half centa. Cotton has advanced to eight eenta, with assurance that a new treasury arrangement will facilitate the supplies of money for moving the crop. After touching eight cents the price has fallen a sixteenth and crop report are still favorable on the whole in spite of damage by the storm in South Carolina. AFFAIRS IN WALL STREET. Improvement Is Due to Relaxation of the Recent Financial ttraln. New Yohk, Sept 11. -Jlradstreet's weekly review of Wall street says: The sustaining element in speculation at present is the improvement in the financial situation and relaxation of the strain under which the money market has been laboring. At the same time the qualifications at taching to the situation are receiving attention, which was at . first denied to them. The fact that the repeal of the Sherman act is ipectlng with delay in the senate is - not considered ss indicative of its de feat, but constitutes an element of uncertainty. One immediate effect is that foreign confidence in the situa tlon here has been checked, and, tbouch London has onlv realized profits to a small extent, buying for that quarter has been suspended. The maintenance of the Bank of England discount rate of five per cent is be lieved to be due to fear of further financial disturbance here, with de mands for gold from this country. Ii It (UMtrlnct.

TorxA,Kan., Sept lL-StateBank Commissioner Breidentbal say that he and his assistant have made special examinations of J80 banks dur ing the past six months, leaving about 150 yet to be looked after. Daring that time thirty-five state banks hav closed their doors, voluntarily and otherwise, five of which m hav sine resumed business. The aggre- ?'ste amount involved la all these allures was less than 11,500.000 leas than the amount of a slngl failure in aom other states. Of those which hav not yet resumed a large number will pay out, many will even pay more or less to the stockholders, whil th losses on the others will be but a small percentage of the a'meunt involved. Mr. Breidentbal says that the banks hav been rapidly reducing their large lines of indebtedness; and on that account alone they are la a much better condition than at th beginning of the financial flurry.

Paris, Sept U .Though the war clovds are again rising in Slam, the strained state of affairs which has ex isted between France and Italy by reason of the recent riot in the two countries, is apparently disappearing. This result has been brought a boat, to a certain degree, because France has wisely determined not to force matter in any way, and .has, with this object in view, notified Italy that France will not put in any claim for Idemnlty for the damage done to the French embassy in Home upon the occasion of the anti-French riots of August 10, last Will right for Liberty.

M I a IN A T0LTEC EUIN, One of the strangest ad ventures of mx life," said Jim Bailey, an old aalt, "happened in the summer of 1851, while I was on a voyage to Cal ifornia. I was a young man at the time, and had shipped a a sailor on board the Delta, bound from . New York to San Francisco. "We bad rounded the cape success fully, and were standing up the coast of Central America when we encoun tered a terrific storm which lasted for five days. Our ship became disabled, and drifting ashore was wrecked near the headland that forms the weatern boundary of the Gulf of Nicoya. "The night was intensely dark when the ship went down, and nearly all on board were lost. Clinging to a part of the broken mast, I was washed ashore, where I lay in an unconscious condition for hours. When I recov ered my senses I was lying upon the sands at the foot of a high chain of cliffs, where the tide had left me. It was daylight, and the first beams of the morning sun were struggling through the mass of jagged rocks above me. "I had about come to the conclu sion that I was the only one who had escaped from the wreck when the sound of a voice broke upon my ear. Glancing upward, toward the place from whence the voice bad proceeded, I discovered Jack Davis, the second mate of th Delta, standing upon a rocky point that rose some 20 feet above the sands where I stood, "On ascending the cliff we made the discovery that we were on a small island that stood some two miles from the mainland. The island was not over a mile in length by three-fourths in width, and in the narrow valley that lay between two ranges of coast hills we could see a thick growth of tropical timber. "As far as we could see, the island was uninhabited, and our chances for procuring food were slim indeed. After searching in vain for some sign of habitation we entered the forest and soon found an abundance of ban anas and dates, of which we ate with the keenest relish. "Having partially satisfied our hunger, we began to consider plans for getting away from the island. There was little to be gained by es caping to the mainland, for, as far as we could guess, from our limited knowledge of the country, its inhabi tants were tribes of vicious savages, who might massacre us on sight. After consulting over the matter for some time we came to the conclusion to remain upon the island for a few days at least, before making any at tempt to reach the mainland. Mean time we could construct a raft and have it ready for use. We were in hopes of sighting some vessel, but in cam we failed in this we would leave the island by means of the raft. "We were in the act of returning to the top of the hill for the purpose of placing some kind of a signal there, when an exclamation from my companion arrested my attention. "Look!" he cried, pointing down the narrow valley. "There's a build ing of some kind, as sure as you live!" .'Turning my eyes in tho direction Indicated, I saw the top of a wide stone structure rising above the trees. Hastening to the spot we dis covered the ruins of what had once doubtless been a building of consider able magnificence. It was built ol blocks of bluo granite some two or three feet square, and had originally been two stories high, but nearly all of the upper story had tumbled down, and in falling had demolished much of tho lower part. "We entered through a wide door way, from which all traces of shut ters had disappeared. The building was some sixty by eighty foot, and tho lower story had been divided into four rooms, but tho partitions had tumbled down in many places, the debris covering the Boor to tho depta of several feet. "Making our way over the pile of rocks we discovered a depression in tho floor, which proved to bo a stair way leading downward, but tho pass ago was so choked up with a mass of stones that wo found it impossible to destvntl. However, we were deter- ml nod to explore the old building, and wt to work at once to remove the tom from the paMsageway. Doseemllng into tho cellar we found a room some twenty Ut square with wall ot pale blue comunt. Two rows if furiously carved stone btnu'he ran the entire Unigth of this room, fronting what api-vered to be an altar, on which was pervhed art htiktfd of tho lnt ri'iml.lvo an I hid wmi aii'i t. I tumid hardly rprt's a shudder a I gaied oa thU relic cf tho suiH'rttliiott and Ignorance of by gone '. 'It an Idol of m of Ihem ha thn Blfer,' U1 Jfk trtvvtrvntly, I'd Ilk Ui ,! 1 1 this did ima' to liar hiuu, but as it's not likely we'll haw a f haiioo to rarry It away Uh , U ju.t k It and what's liuhU-.'

UolP for, as th figure fell, a small open ing, leading back into another apart ment was disclosed. Approaching the wall we crept through the open ing, which was barely large enough to admit our bodies, and found our selves in a small, narrow, vault-like chamber with walls of solid masonry. "At first glance the room appeared to be empty, but on close inspection we discovered an oblong object in th corner.which proved to be a curiously- fashioned box made of copper, and fastened with an oddly-shaped lock of the same material. At eight of the box our curiosity was aroused to the highest pitch, and visions of treasures of untold wealth flitted be fore my imagination. Jack struck the lock a heavy blow, completely severing it from its fasten ings. Then with trembling hand we threw back the lid. The box was empty! " 'Hold on a moment,' be cried. bending over the box. -Mebby there's sometbin' under this.1 "He jerked the box from its resting- place as he spoke, disclosing a small cavity in the rocky floor beneath. " 'By Jupiter! look there!' be ex claimed. Hastily approaching and bending over the spot I saw a small cavity some three feet long and a foot deep, half filled with a collection of queer-looking vessels of silver and gold. For a few moments we stood spell-bound. " 'There's enough to make us both rich for life,' exclaimed Jack with a burst of enthusiasm. No more climbin' riggln's and furlin' sails for me!' And he gave vent to an audible chuckle as he began removing the ar ticles from the vault. In the bottom we found a great heap of queer- shaped coins of silver and gold, which we speedily removed and placed in the copper box. "As we did so we heard a sliding, grinding sound behind us, then the dull echo of a falling rock. "We glanced back, and at the same time a startled cry came from Jack's lips. The opening through which we bad entered the chamber had closed! With a common impulse we rushed to the place to find that a huge rock had slid into the opening, completely closing it up and shutting us in. We exerted all our strength to move the block of ntone, but of no avail. We were prisoners! " 'Perhaps there is some other way by which we can leave the place,' I suggested, but upon investigation we found that the opening by which we had entered was all that led from the dismal chamber. "The torches we had brought with' us would soon be used up, and then we would be left in the blackest dark ness. Knowing this, we realized the great necessity of immediate action. Whatever we did must be done whi(e our torches lasted. We made a hur ried examination of the walls that surrounded us, and we saw that there was only one course left and that was to dig our way out. "But here was a great difficulty. We were beneath the surface of the ground, and could not reach the out side by digging in a horizontal direc tion. We must first penetrate the walls, if possible, and then dig oup way upward. If we could only suc ceed in displacing one rock from the wall, it would not be difficult to re move others. "With nothing but our pocket- knives to aid us we found the task a hard one, but we set to work with a will cutting between the layers of stone. It took hours of the most pa tient toil to remove the first piece of masonry from the wall, and by the time we had widened the wall suffi ciently to admit our bodies, th torches had been used up and we were left in total darkness. Hour after hour we worked on, feeling our way in the darkness, with scarcely a ray of hope left. But with hearts fast sickening with despair we toiled on. Of that fearful period that followed I can never give an account. It all seems like some strange, hide ous dream now, and I can never think of that time without a shudder. How long we toiled there in the gloomy tunnel I never knew, but it must have been many days and nights. At times we would become jxhuustod with work, and throwing ousolvcs upon the pile of rock and llrt would fall into a fitful sleep.from which we would awako to resume our toil. At last, overcome with thirst tnd hunger. I sank down upon the rockfMind beouine unconscious. "When my senses returned I found mywlf lying in a state-room aboard the Petrel, bound for San Francisco, t wa weak as a child from my long lllnetts of a fever, and it was many lays before 1 was allowed to talk. Hut finding myself alive and In com (orta'.lo quarters, I was content to wait for the particulars of my deliv erance from the gloomy prison in the ld ruins, "When I wa better I learned that tho Petrel had been sUndlng up the oast, intendleg to top at a near point for the purpose of obtaining a !iv.h tupply of water, when a signal was tU-oovertvl flying upon aw of the little hills of the island.
