to TUB 1'r.n.j U. O. Dun AJ Co.'s weekly
review of trade says : As before , the
money market is the ono point of nnxioty.
Hates nro higher , but perhaps the appro
hcnMoit has somewhat , lesscnoil , ns the
neniolcss cry that the prcssuro was _ only
laaiilpiilatloti , has given plaeo to n more ra
tlotinl understanding of the reality nnd the
cou&cipicnt limitations of the demand. The
country still calls tor money largely , but retorts -
. { torts from nearly all interior centers of
aupply show that the supply is
considered ample for commercial needs.
There is limitless * und increased de
mand at Kansas City nnd some stringency at
Cleveland , but with uu easier tendency. At
Milwaukee the market Is brisk nt 7 per cent.
At I'hil.idclphia customers are supplied al
"from " 0 to 7 per cent.
The volume ot trade continues large , bank
clearings exceed last year's , railroad earn
ings are encouraging and castbound ship
ments from Chicago lira heavy.
At Chicago the dry goods trade for the
week falls bolotV Unit of thu corroiponding
.veclc last year , nnd tbo receipts ot wool and
Inrd full off ono-hnlf , but coal receipts nre
larger nnd receipts of grain und provisions
show n good Increase.
St. 1'nul rejoices in the inovcmcntnf Minne
sota's largest crop , and the railroad reports
indicate that the northwestern lines arc
choked with Iho enormous receipts from Ihc
Turins.
Cleveland nolcs ncllvily In all lines with
small sales of ere because unsold supplies arc
itnarcu.
There Is little activity in coal nt PittsbUMT ,
but the glass works are busy nt Iho old
prices. The Iron and slcol works nre nil busy
xvith prices well held , and the coke out-put
ntCounollsvillo is reported in excess of the
demand by one day's work each wcclr.
The iron traUo is still healthy , southern
furnaces seeming to have well sold up , nnd
though an offer of a Kchlgh Valley brand OH
No. 1 ul $ IC/iO is reported the quotation for
Iiig Is 517 lo $18. Uur iron is not ns firm as
other forms , mid tlio surprisingly heavy de
mand for plates nnd structural forms is for
Blcol rather than for iron. Kails are quoted
sit $ .11.50 , with sales for the week of 57,500
tons. An offer for 5.1KHJ tons American iron
to be shipped to bcotlnml failed because
frclghts were too high.
The shin yards on the lakes are to bo very
busy next season , contracts for thirty-live
vessels with atoamn-'O of < ir)00 , ; ) being quoted.
Tlio wool trado. is still dull , nnd while
there is a fair movement of dress goods and
enlarged discounts have caused more busi
ness in knit goods , the demand for men's
woolens is strictly moderate.
The cotton manufacture is thriving nnd
the trade In goods is satis factory , print cloths
Boiling att : ) c for C4s.
Speculation for higher prices in wheat has
not been active , since the last government
report and -heavy northwestern receipts
with scanty exports combine to depress
lirire'3 , which have fallen S'RC ' for the wcoic
jvith sales of 31.000.0UO bushels , against
110,000,000 last week on Friday alouo.
Corn has declined and oats 1's'c , while
pork products , though still sustained by tlio
clique , nro a little lower. Collco has yielded
'ic and Is woalc also , traders suspect on n
bettor knowledge of the yield than has boon
forwarded.
The coal business is belter with cooler
weather , but is by up means satisfactory.
The Heading company has stopucdnino of Us
collieries , iucludiiig two of thu largest.
The price of raw sugar has again declined
JjtC taiiu of refined J4c and n circular nn-
jiounces the approaching opening of the largo
Bprccklo'ft rclluery , but the fall In sucar
trust stock has been arrested by an upward
rc-actfun.
The stock market resists the tight money
stubbornly , but has yielded ait average of $1
per share on active railroad stocks , with
Homo recovery , however , on Friday. It is
the theory of some western managers that
an advance in prices just before tlio meeting
of legislatures in the CJranjror states would
bo most tin fortunate. But the moro gouer
nlly controlling influence is a conviction that
the western competition threatens mischief
nnd is not restrained by the intnr-stnto act
or by the good sense of managers , while lot
the present monetary uncertainties nro also

1'rcsldont McCormtclc said last night that
the coming Western association meeting
would bo hold somewhere In the neighbor
hood oC Xovctnbor 1 , und probably in St.
Paul , Jt seems that Omaha , with nil her
advantages , Is novcr to Jlguro very ex
tensively In the business affairs of tbo asso
ciation , but President McCormlck assorls
that U is nil for Iho bcsl in thu long run that
no meetings are to bu lieUt hero.
There is n good chimco of having the asso
ciation greatly strengthened iienl season. It
is now known that Oetroit has applied for
admission , and Toledo and OshUosli nro
anxious to got iu. Oshkosh gentlemen have
had several consultations with Secretary
Morton nbout the prospects of n circuit
being formed that will give OshHosh a
chance for admittance. If Detroit Is nd-
mlltcd Toledo and Oshkosh nro pretty cer
tain to come in. With Milwaukee this makes
four clubs in the cast.
There Is some talk now in Uio northern
cities that cither Chicago or Davenport Will
bo taken in , and that Detroit , Toledo , Mil
waukee , Oshkosh nnd either Chicago or
Davenport , with Minneapolis. St. Paul and
Dulittb , will bo Iho eight clubs In the asso
ciation next year. In that event Omaha ,
Sioux City , Denver , St. Joseph , Lincoln and
DCS Moincs would ho left out in the cold nnd
comiiollcu to unlto with two other accessible
cities nud form a now nssooinlion. This ,
however , is improbable , and the public can
rest unsurod that both Omaha and Stoux

Dns MOIKKS fa , , Out , IS. ( .Special Tel
cgratn to Tin : linn. ] TUo supreme court
rendered n very Important decision licro to
day bearing upon tlio prohibitory law nml
Uio rights oT railroads as carriers. The case
was tlmt ot the state of Iowa against
Con Crocdon , n liquor seller of this city ,
nnd tlio Itock Island railroad colnuatiy. An
infnriiuitloii hnd boon lllod before n justice
alleging tlmt certain liquors in small pack
ages owitod by Con Crccdon were kept in
the Hock Island freight house in Uos Monies ,
Intended for solo In violation of law. Six
separate packages wcro seized under 11
scuruh warrant stud were condomnml. The
railroad wns tiuiilo u party to the suit , unit it
was tiled In the district court and the liquors
were ordered to bo destroyed. The defend-
nnts appealed , claiming that the liquors wore
in the custody of the railway company IIH a
common farrier , and that the matter huuamo
ono of Intcr-stuto commerce , over which the
courts of Iowa had no jurisdiction.
The decision of the supreme court finds
that Crccdou was a persistent violator of the
law mid had been reccivine liquor in this
way for some tliuu , using the Iromht depot
us n storage room to liuop the packages until
needed. These liquors hnd been received
from six to llftcen days prior to the seizure.
The court holds that the intcr-stato com
merce fouturo of the transaction cndcit when
the liquors hnd reached the freight Mouse ;
that the rnllronu lu keeping them for scvornl
days wus holding them not us u earner , but
us n warehouse tnan. Under the circum
stances it rules that the liquor was oehiR
hold for illegal purposes nnd wus no longer
matter of intor-stato commerce , and so wns
properly seized and condemned. The case
will bo taken by railway companies as n
precedent in the mnttor of storing liquor for
customers.

Her nniiio is Nellie Louisa Mollcn , and
she is but sixteen yours old.
A most daring rescue was effected by
her iv little more than nycar npo. Nellie
was standing upon the enter jilatfortn ol
the public Imlh-liouRo with a coin pun ion ,
when aho wna snddonly startled by n
sharp cry of terror nml the noise ol
splnshinp wnlor. Running toward the
sea-wall of tlio now wharves , n few rods
distant , she saw a little girl splashing
about in the river , Without hesitating
in she plunged to the rescue , nnd , al
though tho-river nb this point is at least
lifloen foot deep , aho reached tlio sink
ing girl , and , grasping her by the hair ,
sttirtod to tow her to tho. buth-houso.
Tlio task was not nn easy ono , for tlio
drowning girl took n linn grasp on
Nellie's shoulders. With n clinging
weight of clothing ftho could do nothing
and was obliged to sink.
Her charge then relaxed hot * grasp ,
and Nellie or.co inoro nttotnplotl to
bring her ashore. Again she was
clutched in a. death clasp and frtrugglod
to free herself. When almost ex
hausted she triumphed in her endeav
ors , for the other girl had become un
conscious.
She swam to the light house lauding ,
and with the aid of four iiion who , by
the way. had looked quietly on up to
this point without offering any assistance -
anco lliu drowning girl , Nora Fan-ell ,
was saved. It required ti half hour's
work to rceuscHuto nor. Miss Nellie
was pretty thoroughly exhausted , but
soon rallied and , entering the woman's
batli house , she dried her clothing , took
aquiotswim and then wont homo to
supper. Her parents wcro greatly sur
prised upon reading in the paper the
next day a full account of tholr little
daughter's heroism. Miss Nellie is a
comely girl of light complexion and
\\oll proportioned ligttro. She lias
largo bright eyes , and there istv modest
determination and fearlessness ex
pressed in her features. She 1ms been
a very good swimmer since her ninth
year , anil modestly expresses a willing
ness to plunge in to the rescue of an
other if necessity should arise.
Horn is a story of an exploit of a
Fro n eh youth in the battle of Trafalgar.
About the middle of the ongiigoinont ,
when defeat started the French in tlio
face , tlio French commander mignillc'd
that utter rout could , bo prevented only
by tlio conveyance of certain written
instructions to tlio vessel which had
been the bulwark of the Kroneh on that
day. Tlio announcement was received
with n generality of ( starling eyes and
blanched cheek * , when up utenpeil
proudly and smilingly a , lad named
Kocquo. The commander understood
that look. "Will you think of the dan
ger , my brave lad ? " ' 'I have thought
of it. sir ; I am ready. " The metsago
was immediately placed in a tight box.
which was forthwith securely fastened
around the neck of the lire-bientiling
Roequo.
The .British saw tlio heroic lad plunge
into tlio water , and quickly surmifod
the moaning. Whoa ho reappeared at
about twenty yards from the vessel
whence ho leaped , the British guns
were turned on him without delay. Hut
the wary lad dropped below tli3 surface
and rose at a further distance onward
for a fresh inhulaunti. This was done
regularly anil at brief intervals. The
British , however , could not trace his
movement , which was studiously irreg
ular , and lired at random toward the
spot where they supposed hu might
como up. The hissing.balls plowed tlio
waters deep and wide , but without
avail. For nflcr an exhausting struggle
of ten minutes the young hero suddenly
emerged at tht side of tlio vessel to
which lie steered , and was hastily
drawn aboard by ready lianus. A shout
of exultation wont up from the Krench
and the British at the success of this
heroic act.
The sailors of the ship which re
ceived him rushed forward to over
whelm him with mad congratulations ,
but the noble lad was no more ; He hud
sunk upon the deck and expired from
Hlieur exhaustion.
The message was important. Tlio re
mains of tlio vanquished were safely
conducted from the si-ono of conflict1 ,
and with them lingering in the bosoms
of many went the tearful memory of
tlio heroism of 1'ocquo.
Queen Victoria recently conferred

The sea during the night washed over
the fihip and over the remaining nine

when Carter and t-os-on men were able
to reach a rock whicii was tunm above

him a ncphow of the former , about ton
yonrs of ngo. The night vyns intensely
dark. Their course lay across Hard
ware river , nniRly turbulent , rooky
stream , dangerous at any Unto to eross.
On this occasion it was swolon ft'oiu the
frequent rains that hnd fallen. AVIion
they ronched the ford Martin with the
boy was in advance , Ilia horse had
hardly entered the etronm when ho
Btumbled over ono of the many Inrgo
rocks that lay in tholr course , nnd in
trying to recover himself ho entirely
submerged both riders. Sutherland
not yet entered tlio stream , ns his horse
hud become unmanageable , ami from
the darkness could not tell what hnd
occurred. Martin , after some little
time managed to got out , and not until
ho reached the shore did Sutherland
Icnrn what hnd happened , and that his
ncphow wns being washed down the
stream. He only walled to hoar that
the boy was still in the water , when ,
with the rapidity of a door ( Sutherland
is a strong , athletic , courageous young
man ) , ho swung down the sldo of tlio
stream , calling to tlio boy , but not until
ho had run about a half a mile did he
receive a response so feeble as to bo
hardly hoard.
Ho plunged into the water at a point
where it was moro dangerous than nny
in the neighborhood to enter. Only in
tent , hnwovur , on saving the lad' ho
thought not of his own danger , and in
the shortest possible- time reached the
nearly drowned mid froy.on child , whom
ho bore in his arms lo the shore. Tlio
first words of the little fellow , after
recovering his speech , were : "Undo
Clark , I know you would save mo and
Uol lei me drown. "
About six years ago a wrnek was
sighted in front of a life-saving nta-
lion , wliich wo shall call No. 1 , situated
about forty miles north of Capo Htit-
tcrns. The ship could not bo reached
by shooting a line , tind tlio ot-ly way to
save those on board was to go out in a
surf-boat. The men in Station No. U.
seeing tlmt those in Station No. 1 wvre
not doing anything toward saving the
distressed sailors , came to inquire the
reason. The captain of No. 1 Pnid that
it was impossible to reach the ship , and
that ho would not risk his life in Irv
ing. The captain of No. 2 then told
his men that the adventure was very
dangerous and that ho could not order
thorn out , but if they would volunteer
to go ho would load them. The entire
crew immediately oxnressod their will
ingness lo go and started back to their
station for tlio boat. They drew it
through the wind lo a point opposite the
wreck , a distance of about live miles ,
and after two or three unsuccessful at
tempts succeeded in passing the break
ers. They reached Uio wrack , took th
crow on board , and all returned to shore
in safety.
Tlirco years ago , at the Hollmoro col
liery , two miners were engaged In drill
ing a blast hole. When it had boon
drilled and Illlcd with giant powder a
lighted fuse was attached. While
everyone was breathlessly awaiting the
explosion , the mine huporintondoiit , ae-
ecmpaitied. by two young Indies , walked
slowly up lo the spot , and , not knowing
liioir terrible danger , stopped opposite
Iho charge. He began cxplaiiuu < r iho
use of the breasts. One of the miners ,
Koeitig that shouting would not do , for
the man would most likely slop and ask
what llicy were saying , and purhaps
nol oven Ihcu understand , ran forward
to pull oul Ine fuse. When within
twenty feel lie saw tlmt it would explode
the uevt tnomct. Without thought ot
his o\yii danger , although ho knew the
act would doubtless end in a horrible
death , ho gave three great bounds and
throw himself headlong on tlio fuse just
as il gave a last libefero eiilering iho
powder.
