weekly review of trade says:
Basiaesa clearly grows somewhat

noticed more demand for manufactured

able, no improvement appears in busi

some points is pronounced unsatisfac

ened by the f aaacial news from En

of the aroaey market from that quarter

ing to about &4.3O0.00O, or IS per cent
less than for the same week last
year. On the other hand, exports of
domestic products at this point show
an increase thus far this month of
13,324,009, or nearly 33 per cent, in
comparison with the same week last
year.
There is an increase in the production
of pig iron almost to the unprecedented
figures of last year. The sudden in
crease in production is not in all re
spects a favorable symptom. Ho cor
responding improvement in the demand
for manufactured products is yet seen
and the stocks unsold at only a part of
the furnaces are now recorded as
amounting to about 4b0,000 tons, show
ing a very large increase, particularly
in coke iron. Unless demand rapidly
improves the market must soon weaken
so far as to test severely tho ability of
some of the concerns to continue pro
duction. Reports from other cities are gener
ally hopeful. Some improvement in
the demand for goods Is seen at Boston.
Prospects are considered brighter at
Philadelphia. In spite of the usual
dullness of the season, an improving
tendency is seen at Buffalo, and lake
shipping revives at Cleveland with a
larger demand than a year ago. Orders
for clothing are good at Cincinnati and
the retail in dry goods is brisk. At De
troit manufactures move very fairly
and at Milwaukee trade is helped by
improving crop prospects. Receipts of
wheat dressed beef, wool and hides at
Chicago show a great increase and new
wheat comes in liberally, 85 per cent
of it grading No. a. The clothing
and shoe trades show a large in
crease over last year, though in dry
goods the trade shrinks a little. At St
Paul trade is backward, but prosjects
are good and for Minnesota especially
bright Bank clearings at St Louis
exceed last year's by 7 per cent and
moncj' is moving out to move crops
with freedom, while the gencsal trade
in all lines is of fair volume.
The collapse in wheat speculation has
come with a fall of 8 cents during the
week, but corn is scarce and 3) ccntt
higher, while oats have declined about
1 cent Pork and hog products are
higher; coffee has risen a quarter and
oil the same, but cotton is unchanged
and the general course of price has lwcn
downward as is natural at thin season,
the fall during the past week having
averaged nearly three-fourths ol 1 per
cent
The money market has generally
been in fair shape and collections fair
for the season.

Jar4. West Sciekior, Wit. July 17. Ia
aa initant yctcrday afternoon, by the
giant play of a cyclone, half a hundred
human beings were caged in a death
trap.
A number of buildings were de
stroyed throughout the city, but the
climax of the storm was at the hotel
being constructed at the intersection of
Lambora and Third street. Over two
score uafortunate workingmea were
the victims
Scarcely fic minutes clapcd from a
moment when the men were progress
iag with their tasks till the frightful
whirlwind was miles distant ia lt path
of destruction and the remain of the
begrimed and mangled men were being
brought out of the debris.
The storm lasted only about thirty
minutes, but during that period many
thousands of dollars of damagn was
done, beside taking fire lives.
During the progress of the storm aa
alarm of fire was turned in from the
Fifth ward and the department re
sponded to find the new large four story
frame hotel on Third street near low
born avenue a mass of flatnev The
structure had blown down and the cry
went up from a hundred excited Indi
viduals that the wreck was the tomb of
many men.
A large frame building at the corner
of Hyrd and l,owcr street. South Supe
rior, was wrecked and the steel plant
reports a numWr of buildings leveled,
but no casualties. The wind played
havoc with the I'nitarian church, union
depot and other buildings, but no se
rious fires resulted Had one broken
out it would hare found the city prac
tically hclplr.os. There are no rejKirtt
of disasters on tho lake or harbor.
When the storm came up Bov Car
penter Gross called to his men who
were working on the three-story build
ing at Third street and I.amlorn ave
nue to get out of the building and
twelve of thcin jumped from the win
dows. At the same moment a mimlwr
of passers-by ran into the structure to
escape the storm. As they entered the
building, without an instant's tremor
or warning, collapsed, burying seven
teen men. The structure did not move
a foot from its foundation. It simply
flattened out as though by a terrible
blow from alovc Three tinners on
the roof remained where they were und
escaped serious Injury, though the fall
was thirty-eight feet The ruins stood
not six feet uImitc the ground and the
roof seemed U cover the whole, great
ly retarding the work of rescue.
Five men were killed outright by the
collapse of the building and several
others injured.
