Dun & Co.'s trcokly review of trade gays : Tim week lias been rich In promise but poor In production , It was promised that exports of gold would cease , but they liavo not. It was promised tliat the cnil of the coal strike would bring Im mediate recovery of Industrials , hut a partial resumption of work discloses a comparatively leant Increase of demand for productions. Operations fn wheat advanced the prlco 1 % cent * , though western receipts were only 1.381,510 bushels , agalnit 2,263,185 last year. Corn advanced , but again reccJed , with imall exports and fairly large receipts. Cot- Ion declined a ( sixteenth , but recovered. The visible stock of American here and abroad I ) t.512,000 bales , against 2,682,573 last year. It was confidently expected that the set tlement of thu tariff rates on textiles by the lenato would Improve the manufacture ol textiles , but there la scarcely any evidence of Kucli a result as yet , the largo sales ol cottons being distinctly traceable to more reasonable weather and large retail sales anil lo further concessions by sellers. The stock of unsold print cloths at Providence , Kail Jllvcr and Doston Is over 1,000,000 pieces , but the accumulation continues. The orders lor fall arc limited and staples are Irregular In prices. Wool Is less active and rather weaker , with Hales about equal to half a full con sumption , 3,252,511 pounds , against 2,989,800 for the same week last year and f. , 113,550 In 1892 , For three weeks or June sales have been 8.879,121 pounds , against 1C.933.C50 In 1892. Thcro Is much disappointment that the partial termination of the coal strike docs not promptly enlarge the demand for Iron nnd steel products , which Is evidently too narrow as yet lo support much Increase ol production.

Unulstreot'H review of the stnto of tratlo tomorrow will gay ; There are Indications of n moderate Improve ment In various lines and enough Instances to render the fnct of some significance. A tiotnblo favor.ihlo feature Is the iiractlcal end- IiiB of the coul and colio strike , together with these In related Industries , which will put to work at once , or soon , more than S50.000 men. The number of the employes In Indiutrlal lines still on a strike Is cstl- mated at about 30,000.

NothlliB Indicating an Increased demand - mand for aUplo goods or a tendency to an ticipate wants Is reported from any Now Ungland city. The settlement of the coal strike produce * a more hopeful feeling at Httsburt ? . Right western cities agree that a better ftellnc prevails In business circles and that the out look for Improved full triulu tms Increased This Is true at Cincinnati and at Detroit where good weather has stimulated sales In dry goods nnd other linos. St. l.ouls advises that seasonable goods are In better demaml tnd that the end of the strike has resulted Iii a better feeling. Kansas City Jobbers In flry goods report a better demand , but expect very llttlo othei Improvement during harvesting.

Speculation has been confined to Hiich a limit In the number ot stocks tii.it fluctuations hnvc llttlo real sig nificance , though prices have displayed n declining tendency. This Is due partly to the appearance of the Atclilson reorganiza tion plan , which. Involving ns It docs a heavy assessment of $12 per uharc , caused liquida tion In all the bankrupt stocks. The meeting of Now York bankers to con sider the position of the treasury and the possibility of checking the further depletion of Its already sunken gold reserve had an unfavorable Influence on cpcculatton. While It Is recognized that the willingness of some of the banks lo part with gold for exporter or to join In reimbursing the treasury for part of the specie which Is being taken from UK vaults Is a bcneHcl.il movement , yet the mutter hafl drawn attention to the situation of the treasury and seems to Increase the unwillingness of Europe to touch American Hccitrltlos at present.

Wednesday evening's wind storm wreaked dire destruction on Peter Williams' llttlo twenty-acre patch , adjoining Claus Slevers' farm , six miles west of Ihls city. Williams lives wllh his wife and granddaughter , and tills the soil of his leased acres for a liveli hood. hood.When When Iho storm came on ho was on his way to the barn , but before ho reached there the wind picked up nn outhouse from Its foundation and hurled It against him , throwing him ugalnst the wheel of a wagon and jamming him between the spokes In such manner thai ho had to Htay there until extricated after the blow was over. Ills granddaughter was about to enter Ihc house , when she saw It move from Its moorIngs - Ings , and Ihrowlng herself flat on the ground thu building passed over her and she es caped Injury. Mrs. "Williams was In the house , and was unable to get out when Iho frail slructure was whirled Into the air. It collapsed In the twisting air currents , and wus totally deslroyed. Mrs. Williams was found later In a dazed condition on a part of the roof on the Slovers' farm several hundred feet away , pinned down by a largo trunk. She was very badly bruised , and her clothing was lorn lo shreds. The house and barn were reduced to kindling wood , and their contents were torn lo pieces nnd scattered all over the surrounding country. A team of mules In the barn wore uninjured , the strucliiro being carried away nnd leaving the nnlrnals standing where they were on the dirt floor. This loss leaves Mr. Williams almost destitute , nothing being left but his mules. Mrs. Williams wag taken to the Slovers residence , where she Is being cared for.

The expedi tion which left Mlisoula May 21 In search of George Colgate , the cook to the C.irlln party , who was abandoned last fall In the Dig Clcarwatcr country , has Just returned. The body of Colgate was not found , but sufficient evidence discovered to Justify the conclusion that ho hid died a horrible death. On the limb of a tree which pro jected Into the eddy cf the middle fork of Clearwatf-r rIVcr , was /found / : one sleeve caught under a hugh boulder. The Indica tions were that the body was washed down ttream about half a mile from where the unfortunate man was abandoned by Carlln and his party , and caught In the eddy. A sleeve caught In the limb of a tree and the current being Intensely rapid , the arm was torn from the body and remained there. The blankets left for the unfortunate man by the Carlln party were found and Indicated that Colgate must have died a raving maniac , ns the blankets had been strapped to his back by the Carlln party , and when this expedition found them tlicy were just beyond high water mark. The statements furnished by lien Kelly , a member of the Cnrlln party , have been proven false by this expedition. Kelly claimed that the abandonment of Colgate was entirely unnecessary and duo to young Carlln. A dispassionate Investigation was made by this expedition and It is plainly evident that It was Impossible to have saved him. _ Where Summer Hrci"7ct Ulow.

To the Editor of The Bee : In n communication to The Dee Mr. Utt of the Commercial club discusses the question an td the nature of the factories that will be attracted hero by the cheap power , supposed to be furnished by the proposed Platte river canal. Ills argument Is based on the assertions that the ma terials , labor nnd market for certain In dustries nrc here , antl that nil that la noedetl Is to furnish cheap power and tno Industries will come. Yet , with two ex ceptions , he fnlli to cite nn Industry In which the Item of power would be' of milll- clcnt Importance to draw n single dollar of clean , sound , experienced capital. As nnotht'r gentleman has pointed out , there are a lot of fukii Industries on wheels that are always keeping a weather eye on bonuses. A honio of those may bo ex pected to fall over each other 111 desperate efforts to locate here- and move on to the next town. Hut to return to Mr. Utt's list. The principal Industries quoted are (1) ( ) glucose , (2) ( ) beet Htiftnr , < : ! ) llourlng , oatmeal nnd cereal products. ( I ) meat packing , (3) ( ) paper , ( < i ) agricultural Implements , (7) ( hides and skins tanned , ( S ) boots and slices , (3) ( cot ton cloth and other textiles. Let us dlscusH these separately. (1) Glucose 1 hardly think that Mr. Ult meant that n glucose factory employing 1,000 hands requires 5.000-hoiso power lo operate It. If , however , this Is a fact , and we were to sell our entire 20,000-horsc power to glucose factories , we would develop nil Industry employing only 1,000 hands , menu- Ing a possible addition to our population of 20.00D inhabitants , which would Imrdly be worth nil the- risk entailed In a $1,000.0,0 bonus and u $ .1,000,000 eiuml ami power plant. I believe that Mr. Utt will grant that most of the steam generated In that "bat tery of boilers of G.OOO-hortiO powei" would be used In the various factory processor ami not for the purpose of generating power. Coal being a necessity to generate steam , wlmt especial advantage roiili ! we present with our canal over those com munities where coal Is cheaper ? (2) ( ) Uect Sugar This mny be nt once striken from thu list. No sugar factory would use power from the canal. Sugar factories use great ( luantltles of Hteam In their processes , and Mini the additional cost ol operating steam engines so slight that they would not entertain the Idea of Introducing another form of motor. (3) ( ) Flouring , Oatmeal and Uth < > r Cr-renl Products We have bore a class of Indus tries that employ but little labor. Accord ing to the tenth census a flouring mill em ploying l.tOO hands would require 19.S',0-horso power to operate It , or neatly all that the canal could furnish. The attendant cooper shops would employ about 700 mqre. That Is , If all the canal power were to be used In these Industries employment would be given to not to exceed 2,200 hands , representing an Increase In population of about 11,000. Shall we elve a bonus of $1.000.000 and take all the risks of failure for so slight nn advantage ? ( I ) Meat Products It Is Idle to advocate the construction of a canal to assist In building up the packing Industry. The expansion of that Industry Is limited by only two factors , capital and demand. Let the demand Increase and the capital will appear. Cheap .power . never worries thu brain of thu packer. (5) ) Paper AH regards this Industry the tenth census shows us that 5.07 hdrse power was used In 18SO per each hand employed. The use of 2U,0 > )0-horse ) power would em ploy but 4,000 hands , representing an In crease In population of about 20,000 In habitants. Again , the ilslc and cost is disproportionate 'to the gain. ( o ) As regards agricultural Implements , Mr. Utt abandons his own case wh n he- shows that the ( Walter A. Wood company established themselves In St. Paul , where steam power is ibut little loss if not actu ally greater than In Omaha. This concern selected St. I'aul for thu probable reason that it combined the timber resources of the north will ) n. largo market. (7) ( Hides andj'Skins ( tanning ) Tanneries locate themselves near the supply of tan bark , nnd will continue to ( U > , .sp until a substitute Is discovered for that material. All discussion of suggested substitutes Is at present mere-speculation. (8) ( ) Hoots and Shoes The power used In these factories per employe Is so small In 1SSO It was one-tenth of 1-horse power- to cut practically no figure In the operation of the factory. If boot and shoe factories can be made a success here they will come and ask no questions about power. (3) ( ) Cotton anil other Textile Industries- Mr. Utt says that because there are cot ton factories "at Amsterdam and Cohoes on 'the Mohawk It would seem that power controls their location ; certainly It Is not crude material , labor or market. " Now , Mr. Edward Atkinson whom I shall quote again today , because ho was supposed to bo sutllclcntly familiar with the cotton In dustry to be entrusted with the prepara tion of the special census report on cotton manufactures by the * tenth census seems to differ with Mr. Utt on this point , for ho said then : "At the present time ( January 1 , 1883) ) another change Is In progresn. The use of water power Is becoming less. Its develop ment for the purposes of sale having never proved profitable. The power thus de veloped has been a valuable auxiliary In the working of the factorybut ns a matter of Investment tin. " development of land nnd water power together have almost without exception failed to be profitable- . The great progress In the construction of tne steam engine nnd in the economy of fuel H steadily working toward a change to steam as the principal motive power for thu cotton factory. An Incidental au- vantage In this change Is that the factory may be placed nearer to the principal markets , where It can be more conveniently supervised and more easily ranched. * Thu choice ( of location ) may bo made * * * \vhere the facilities for repairs on machinery are close at hand , and the popu lation Is sulllclently dense to assure an adequate and constant suppTy of operatives mills which are much Isolated always working at a disadvantage. " It should bo remembered that the water powers at Cohoes , Lowell , Lawrence , Kail Illvcr and other great textile centers were developed In the early days of the steam engine , when It was but a .wasteful and ex pensive motor. Mr. Atkinson has shown how these conditions havu changed anil what the effect has been , and oven In the eleven years thnt havu passed since his report was written the advance of the steam engine has been marked. All of the above facta may be Konerallzod In one Btatcnient-and our citizens should consider this statement well before pinning thulr faith to the Platte canal prolect.- theru arc but three Important Kroiips of manufacturing Industries that could he car ried on at this point , In which the Item of power Is of miltlclont Importancu to Uetcr- mlnu the question of location. These are : 1. Flouring and cereal products. 2. Paper. 3. Sugar , molasses nnd glucose. It has been shown that the Industries of the last group require steam In their various processes In such largo quantities as to bo Imlemnidont or any other form of power. ; ' AH to the dthcr two groups , H has been shown that they give employment to but few operatives , and consequently It would hardly pay us to risk any largo sum of money In cncouraglm ? them to como here CUltTlSS U.

A hardy miner with careworn face , And pants all shattered about the base , And coat so dreadfully rent and torn 'Twould frighten crows from a Held of corn , Stood Kaxlng with eager , hungry stare Through a restaurant's big show window , whore The richest of viands were placed In sight As bait for the wandering appetite As stood he gazing at good things there His thin lips moved alas , not In prayer , Hut In muttered curses upon the fate Which had kicked him downwaid to such a state. Noting his attitude , 1 drew near , Hy curiosity led , to hear What topic his soul HO deeply stirred , And this the reproachful speech I Heard : "Look nt 'cm , darn you , look at 'em straight. An' hunger for 'cm , you reprobate. It sarves you right To be In this plight Starvin' and can't get a cussed bite , An' there It Is , jest stacks of It , too , ' The best thu market affords , an' you A-faml.shln' , darn you. Wall , it'll larn you. To let well enough alone , you duffer , Oh , dam you , sutler. "Look at thnt tin key roasted brown. Don't you wish you could swallow down About the half of It ? Seu them pies , Food fur an nngul from Paradise , And you a-starvln' , you chump. Look at thnt roast 'at M tempt a king. Look a.t them steaks , look at everything- . An' then , you sticker , may I Inquire If from the fryln' pan Into the lire You'll make another Jump ? "Wa'nt satisfied , you mls'able cub , Plenty o' work an' plenty o' grub , Mines a-runnln' by night an' day , Everything coniln' right your way , Uest of clothes on your cussed back , An' hud to lly the republican track. Stumped thu hull range , Squealed fur a change. Made your speeches In every camp , Dlmycrat o' the meanest stamp. Traveled all over In sun an' storm , Howlln' fur Cleveland an1 reform , That's w'at you did , You oveigiown kid , Howled like a wolf fur a change , dod rot It , An1 , cuss you , you got It. Kep' the air onusually warm Yellin' Hoform ! Hcform ! deform ! Said republicans all was thieves , Fat'nln1 on spoils like stall-fod heevi'i Crowdln' the land to the 'tarnal dogs , Swampln' her down In ruin a bogs , Wreckln' thu good ol' ship < -f srat-- . Unisln' ol' Nick at a lightening rate. You , Ham . , You skin of a sausage , You talked that way , you cussed fool , Tried lo tench a dlmyi-rat iiohool , Dished up lies 'at M stop n clock , Blinded the miners with free trade talk. Told 'em sllvor'd bulge ahead , Gold be wutWess as so much lead , Pay'd be doubled In every mine- Holy Gosh , but you spun it line ; Started the boys on a wild stampede You , you ol' buck , takln' the lead- Over the fence got the gang to Jump ; l.ook at you now , you chump. "Did you ketch a whiff , You durnecl ol' stiff , O' the good things a-cookln' back In that , W'en that fellow swunjr the door ajar ? Did you smell the cabbage an' luscious beef That could durn soon make you let out the reef You tuk In your breeches w'en you found Yourself so thin they'd go twice 'round ? Did you smell It , I say , You free trade Jay ? Well , smell It ag'ln. I wish to the Lord You was chained light here to an Iron rod With your nose so clus to the door you'd Bit A sniff every time they opened It ; Stay hero till your stomach was shrunk until 'T'd strain It to chamber a liver pill , Jest smellln1 an' yearnln1 by day an' night , An' never glttln' a cussed bite , 'T'd sarve you right. "Kvery paper you pick up tells O' Cleveland heailln' a gang o' swells An' K til n' o-l'shln' , but you can bet If he bobs till doomsday he'll never get As hefty a ketch as that he took When the huir o' reform was on his hook. Nary a game fish could he show , Jest cranky suckers , 'at didn't know Enough to stay In Protection's pool , Whar' the water was allus clear an' cool , An' you was one of 'em , lee , you chump , Ono o' thn suckers 'at had to jump At the plzcn bug 'at you thought was good Knough fur sorehead republican food , You Hwallered It , too , An' Ihe next thing you Was a-lloppln' around on the bandy bank , With the hook In your gills , you mcasiy crank. "Wat are you glttln' fur- all you done ? Wat's the result o' the fight you won ? Mills all Idle an' mines shet down , Grass a-growln' In every town , Men a-loalln' on every hand , Haul limes stranjilln' the hull wide land , Hanks a-buslln' an' trade heels up , Labor cramped like a plzcned pup , Homes but prisons o' woe an' want , Whar * wan-faeed prls'ners weak an' gaunt Shiver an' hunger from morn till night , Kyett all IiiHtL-rlens , once so bright , That's w'at you got , For the change you sought. "Well , you desarvo It , you blinded fool , You Hopped ai. ' you're gltlln' you're re ward , It'll U-.ifh you a lesson , this bitter school , Fur swlngln' Iho dlmycratlc swoitl.
