Yhey were In a bad condition. Great credit Is due to the party from the Salvor, headed by Captain Ferries, who left early Wednesday and traveled an almost Impasslblo trail for fifteen miles. After a night spent on the trail they started for bom with the survivors. Before returning Captain Ferris visited the wreck. Ho re ports the beach . literally covered with wreckage and at thut time five bodies were On shore being Identified. A second party left the Salvor yesterday morning.

At Pachena arrangements were hiadn to -auccor the survivors.

The Associated Tress cur respondent was the llrst to reach them. AH the survivors mere completely fatigued. The entire party was equipped with shoes, those who had been without having been supplied with shoes taken from the corpses washed ashore.

All of the known dead are women. Dead and Injured. After the ruins had been searched it was I announced that no more bodies had ben 1 found.

During the evening there had been a meet ing of business men at the hotel and after the meeting adjourned many of those who attended remained at the bote) to play cards in a room on the second floor. About 1 o'clock there was an odor of smoke, and when the door of the room was opened by some investigator there was a strong rush of smoke and heat Into the room. It li due to the presence of mind of those in the room that the list of casualties wa not greater. While one of the number went outside to give the alarm the other ran through the corridors, kicking at the doors and arousing th occupant of the various rooms.

Iny goods men especially had a large trade, aa an advance In American prims had been announced fi: next Monday. Grocers are least benefited "by these meet ings, -nd though their business was good, it was not larger than last week or the week before. The coffee market Is continually hard ening. The strength Is natural, aa there Is a lack of speculative business on account of the wild rumors going the rounds as re gards prohaMe duties both in Brazil and America. Seveus are quoted at 8c, an advance ot Vo aver laM week, and are very had to get even at that figure. When Jobbers want stocks they either have to pay good prices or wait a long time before purchasing. It Is expected by local dealers that prices will he stiff ou the remainder of th crop. Sugar is unchanged as regards, refined, hut raws are quoted a little easier. Weather, Is good In Cuba and grinding is progressing! favorably. Trade in thla staple with local jobbers In light, aa It usually Is this time of year. Tne mackerel market Is strong, several advances having taken place In the last week. lHslrabl qualities of the Irish fish, .TO' to ViO In a barrel, have advanced alxiut ti.6) per barrel over the low market price. In Holland the market has advanced on White Hoop and Mllehner herring. Split iAbradors are acarce and hard to obtain at any price. Family whltettsh maintain their high figures Smoked bloaters are a shade kiwer, due to the warm weather, but when a cold snap comes on they will rapidly advance. Medium grade codfish re main the same, with higher prices ruling on the better grades. Demand for Fancy Good. There has been a good demand for all grades of fancy goods ever since the first of the year. Imported sardines, olive. Jellies and Jam are moving well. Higher prices on olives have not curtailed the con sumption. There stems to be. a growing demand for California ripe olives, which are esten as a health food as well as a delicacy. Woodenware prices have remained prac tically unchanged thus far this winter. The demand 1 good. More than usual Interest ha developed In canned good during tha last three weeks. Spot tomatoes have seen a further advance, the market having moved up to 11.15 in Maryland for anything that will grade standard. Well posted people say the syndicate ha also been operating in California and ha secured control of a large amount of surplus there, so that prices on- the coast have moved up from sue about the first of the year lo 87c ,or )c today. Jt Is admitted by almost every one posted on the situation that there are very few goods obtainable except from the syndicate. Without doubt the prices that are ruling today, will curtail con sumption. It goes without saying that the Joblier who are compelled to vuy will buy vei v sparingly of tomatoes and will turn their attention to some other item which afford a belter margin of profit and a much better chance for an advance tn price. Future tomatoes have also come In for considerable attention during the last three week. Opening at 7Sc In Indiana, the market wa quickly advanced tu 77V' and now stand at S"c. Larg contracts have Ih-mi made by eastern huvers. Nun of then Dil.es. however, seem to afford a good basis for buying in the west, for the rvaaon that neither Jobber nor retailor can luak any profit on the good and allow th good to sell for lOe per tin. vca U la retailer bag aa freight te pay.

Transactions, therefore, in Mlsosurl river t'-rrltory have not been heavy. An active market In corn in the very near future would not be a surprise. While the supply Is ample to take care of all requirements, yet it Is selling today below the cost of production, and it is reasonable to suppose t lint within a short time this condition will right itself. v Activity In tan Fish. The market is very active on red Alaska salmon, with every probability of an ad vance In the near future. The canners, with but few exceptions, are sold out of red Alaska and It looks as if It would take but a very llttln to bring the price up uc to 7Vjc per dozen. Opening prlcea on sardines have been made on the "4-otl in the new style tin. These -price are 3Se per dozen higher thn prevailing prices todiiy. It therefore looks as If. one of two things must take place, either that the price on futures must be lowered before there Is any buying or that within a very short tlm the market on spot goods will be advanced to the price of futures. Inasmuch a there Is a limited supply, an advance In the spot goods Is expectfd. 1 There is a very strong situation In every article of gallon goods Including tomatoes, the only exception being gallon pumpkin. Of this there seems to be a sufficient sup ply, but In every line of canned fruits. In cluding eastern and California, the situa tion Is exceedingly strong, with not enough In sight to take care of the trade until the arrival of new goods. The Dried Fruit Market. Reports from the coast Indicate that out of the 12.0W tone of ralslna available at the time the Growers' association sold out to the Mercantile compani". not over 4.0X1 tone will be available. If . ..istlng contracts sre filled. Furthermore, it Is ascertained that the Mercantile company has bid up on outside stocks, making It practically Im- Cossible for any of the outsiders to do uslneas. Jobbers therefore look for a strong and advancing market In this arti cle for the remainder of the season. There is no chtinge to report in apricots, pesches or prunes, as these articles are all In verv limited supply, and doubiless will be cleaned up before new goods arrive. There la a little easier feeling In New York stafe apples, and yet these goods are moving out vtiy rapidly. No news la reported In the rice situation, except that the stock of broken is becoming greatlv reduced, owing to the buying by Cuba and Porto Rico. Japans are In very limited supply and an active demand would doubtless send them considerably higher than they are now. Hon Trad In Dry Good. The announcement that American prints will advance V4c or 10 per cent January 29 has brought large business to Omaha dry goods Jobbing houses. Many took ad vantage of reduced rates to make house purchases and others sent large order by mall and through salesmen. New York re ports that dry goods, both cotton and wool, are very scarce, and both liner 1 nd f.r:n there. The problem with tic rs Is not SO mu.eh question of J it is of being able to get the goo. any consideration. Strong Advene- In Giaaa. Glass has advanced, as predicted a week ago, plate glana being quoted i to per cent higher. Window glass also ia firm. Another meeting will lie held by the manufacture! February 1, and at this meeting the organi zation of the Selling association, or alleged trust, will be completed. Hulled linseed oil Is quoted at 44 cents and the raw oil at 42 cents. This is ceni lower than a week ago. Turpentine is steady at 74 cent. Trade ha been tx-tler with shoe whole salers. Leather is unchanged from last week's uuotationa. Situation In Hardware. Future delivery orders for lawn mowers, lee cream freezers and poultry netting, wir cloih, creen doors and window and other hot weather accessories are now being placed with the wealern Jobbera- In Urg.i volume. With the exception of wire cloth, fair prlcea are prevailing and practically no conceaalon are lielng reported. The de mand for staple lines for Immediate deliv ery also rontlnuea good and without excep tion the large Jobbers report the business placed thus far this month greatly in ex cess of the same period last year. The heavy buying for future requirements Indi cates that the dealer anticipate a continua tion of the present heavy consumption and the outlook shows no sign of slowing up from the present rapid pace. Manufict,o rrs quotations on wir cloth are ruling j comparatively lower loaay man at any I tima in tba history of this inuuatry. l.t I view of the low prices that inevallej on ; doora and window screens lit Hie latt fe years present quotations to the liaue aro considered somewhat radical, but aa rt have not Interfered with the volume of business that should bo closed at this aon of la year.
