A GREAT FLOOD OF RUSINKSS.
It Is Out of Season In duly. However,
This Is n Curious Yc.tr.
R. G. Dun A Co., iu their weekly review nt
trade, say: A business flood so strong and
rapid thai tho conservatives fear it may do
harm, is out of season in July. Put the sea
tons this year lap over nnd erowd each other.
May frosts and fnghts, it is now evident,
kept back much business that would naturally
have been finished before midsummer, and
the delayed culmination of one season gets in
the way of efforts to begin another on time.
Rut the Yolume of business, however it may
le measured, is remarkably large for fctho
month.
Cotton has not changed, though specula
tion still turns wholly on prospects, regard
less of enormous Ptocks carried over. In
Europe tho manufacture lags but here it i.i
satisfactory.
The weekly output of pig iron was 171.191
tons, having risen PVJ70 tons in June and
other furnaces J have gone into operation
since July 4th. The rapid Hsu in prices has
brought into operation many additional
works, and there is U!1 a rush to buy before
prices advance further. Influential maiiu
factiTcrs are sending out warnings that the
rise may easily do mischief, nnd prices have
in fact advanced nearly 6 per cent, in two
week? but are stjii'ij per e;nt. lower than in
October, IH'J. The demand for structural
forms is enormous. Bessemer pig has ad
vanced to ?M.4H at Pittsburg, and wire nails
to 11.55, both higher.than in October, ls.rj;
grey forge to til. 23, structural beams to I S
and angles to 1.35.
Wool is still advancing with enormous
sales. As the sales are about four times the
weekly consumption, it is obvious that the
market is essentially speculative, but the
rise abroad has set the country aMaze so that
Western holders are asking even higher
prices than heretofore. Scarcity of domes
tic wool helps them and the enormous sales
of foreiiru only compensate for the reported
decrease in the domestic clip. But buying
ty most manufacturers is already affected,
and at the prices uow asked for wool, somo
manufacturers are douoting whether a cor
responding value for goods can be realized.
Opening prices for many iuht weight goods
show great irregularity, perhaps n majority
being on a par with la-t v.-ar but some lover
and some higher, Cotton cods continue
active and stromc. with comparatively little
ditlleulty as to laoor. Tic Northern mills
have taken little over lOO.OOn bales in the
past three months. Mnce cotton was below
7 cents, but with cotton bought cheap for
flv nionth ahead, tin y are ahleto do gooc"
business. It is uot the season for activity it
boots and shoes, and orders have fallen off
Prices of shoes, leather and hides are m
stiff as ever.
Foreign trade is not encouraging, ex-cp:
for July showing a large decrease.
The failures for the lirst f.Mir days of Julj
show liabilities of SlJoViOO. of which S3;5t;..
4.11 were of manufacturing ami jTOJ.ci G o!
trading concerns.

A PULLMAN OF SLEEPING
Pilgrims nnd Priests Telescoped bya
Second Section. Many Never
Awoke. The Engineer Asleep.
tn the early hours of Wednesday morning
there occurred an ae ddent on the Grand
Trunk road at Craig's Road, Quebec, thai
has seldom been excelled in horror by an
6lmilar event in Canadian nail way annals.
A special excursion train crushed into an
other train of the same kind preceding it
and killed some twenty people, while the
wounded are numbered in the vicinity ol
two score.
The trains that came in collision wert
Special excursion trains filled with pilgrims
t?n route from Sherbrooke, Richmond nno
Windsor Mills, to Levis, where they we:j to
Ctoss over to Quebec and proceed to the
serine at St. Anne de R-aupre, and war 9
following one another with an Interval of
Borne twenty minutes between them.
The first train reached Craig's Road sta
tion, which is fourteen miles west of LeviSj
about 3 o'clock, and stopped at the tank td
take water. Due precautions were taken
and the semaphore throwu to danger signal
for the following train. Only the trainmen
were out and about attending to their duties.
The Tullman in the rear was wrapped in si
lence and the sleepers were unaware of the
terrible fate that was rushing upon them.

Into the rear Pullman of the firfct section.
Every berth in the Pullman was wrecked and
some of the occupants who were killed, never
knew what happened to them. They died
deeping. Others awoke to their horrible
surroundings and position, maimed, bleed
ing and bruised, conscious of little else but
the agony that racked them. It was an aw
ful scene. The work ol rescue begaa at

It is hard to say where the blame for the
accident rests. It has been suggested that
Engineer McLeod might have dozed off to

WASIIINfiTON CORRESPONDENCE
Spanish nnd Chinese Gossip from the
National Capitol.
Spain now has her turn at the demand
business. She isn't making a demand that
the United States rhall apologize, but ber
minister has been instructed to ask that th.'t
government will officially disavow the senti
ments alleged to have been expressed by
Ambassador E istis in an laterervlew pub
lished by a Paris newspaper. Ambassador
Eustis has already repudiated that alleged
iutervi-w, which he branded as a fake, but
that has had noefTc t upon the Spanish min-i.-t--r,
who has gone to Massachusetts for th
purpose of presenting his demand to Secre
tary tilney in pers n, not earingta deal with
th- su! .ordinate who is in charge of the Stste
d-p irtment. The Spanish minister proba
blv knows, in common with everybody else,
that Amba-sadur Eustis never eipressd;
for publication, the sentiments credited to
him in that interview, but he doubtless,
think it a good opportunity to get the U. 8.
government to nfii- tally say that it does not
sympathise with the 'Cuban rebellion, or
something to that effect. Hit be true that
Secretary Olney has been listening to the
seductive buzrjng of the Presidential bee the,
Spanish minister may be sorry he made that
demand as the S-h ret&ry may see in it an op-,
portuuity to give his candidacy a boost by
making the American eagle let out a scream
or two. It id more probable, however, that
the denial of the interview by Ambassador
Eu-tis will be considered a sufficient answer
o the demand. Spain would do well ty be
very careful, about such demands. This
government is, of course, neutral, but tnera
is littledoubt that an overwhelming majority
ofth i--ople ia this country sympathize
with the Cubans and would at a pinch help
them throw off Si anish rule.
For the first time the Chinese question is
locally a live one iu Washington. The Chi
E' -e colony has been increased so rapidly
that some of them have had astruggleto

cf them and it i3 iai 1 that Chines Ltgh

cutters, but that's a'd among themselves. The
question has been brought home to the com
munity bv the issuing of an appeal by th
Lig steam" laundries requesting the people
not to patronize the Chinamen, and stating
that if they do waes of American liandry
employes will have to be eut.
