The body of Jacob Newman, who is supposed to have drowned himself iu Blueriver has not been fouud yet. Tracks haye been found which went from his buggy to the river and some were also found on the ice in the river. The opinion in the neighborhood is that the leaving of his buggy and coat on the banks of the river was only a ruse which would give him time to get away, as he was out on bail for robbery. His neighbors don't give the suicide theory much credence.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
It. G. Dun & Company's Weekly I'eport on the Condition of l*u?iiieS8. NEW YOKK, March 2.—R. G. Dun & Company's weekly review of trade says: No gold goes out. though sterling exchange has risen close to the exporting point and it does nor yet appear that tlie syndicate lias yet made any effort to control the exchange market. London has sold about 40.000 shares of stock during the week and the market is distinctly lower for railroad shares, though a shade stronger for trusts. The stock market waits abjectly for London and foreigners show thus far more disposition to sell tlis.ii to buy. 1
Withdrawals of gold by redemption of legal tenders have not ceased, but since the closing of the syndicate contracts have averaged about $120,000 per day.
Wheat is 1 1-2 cents higher, but clearly not because western receipts are a trifle less than a year ago, nor hecause exports from the Atlantic, coast- are small. Spasms of speculative activity must be expected during every season, and when pi-ices are at- the bottom such spasms can only mean an advance. Nothing is seen to justify any material rise, as supplies in sight do not decrease more than they would naturally on account of bad weather.
Corn is only a shade higher with western roceip's smaller than last year. Cotton dropped a woek ago to 5.50 cents, the lowest point- ever known since modern classifications were adopted and has not yet- risen, though the talk of a great reduction in acreage this year is as vigorous as ever. The "whole market turns on the fact that stocks ef American cotton here aud abroad are considerably larger than ever.
The industrials make very slow gains wheu'e they make any. Lit tle is said of the stoppage of the Edgar Thompson steel works, though many thousand hands depend on its operation, because the Carnegie company lias purchased 50,000 tons Bessemer pig at $9.05 to $10 at Pittsburg, a price indicating that the biggest concern in western Pennsylvania does not want to make iron for less. At other markets pig iron has been quiet and elsewhere, as at Pittsburg, structural orders account for a large share of tlie new business reported, though activity in wire, wire rods and barbed wire still continues. Bar iron and steel are firmer at Pittsburg, but without change in quotations, and on the whole the reduced consumption in January does not seem to have more than matched the reduced production.
In the minor metals there is more business in lake copper at 9.65 cents, •with some offerings at 9.5 cents, and forced sales have depressed lead to 3.1 cents. Tin is also weaker, at 13.1 cents, with heavy importations.
The market for cotton goods is fairly active, and the demand improves in some grades, but. is, on the whole, decidedly disappointing, though this -week there has been no sensational reduction in prices. Undoubtedly the accumulation of goods continued, and is the most dangerous feature of the trade.
The sales of wool at the throe chief markets during the past month have been 20,30",o.'O pounds, against 1N,444,131 last year, and 23JS9,000 for the same weeks two years ago, and while the mills making low grade goods are fairly supplied with orders, it is a most, unwholesome feature thnt numerous cancellations are reported, indicating that tlie goods supplied at exceptionally low prices do not meet- with the expectation of buyers. On the other hand, the demand for tlie goods of a better grade seems a little bet tor than expe'-fed.
Failures for the past week have been 250 in the Unite States, against. 2(51 last year, and in Canada 3B, against 42 last year.
TOWBOATS LOST.
The I'iicific No. 1 ami Charley liook Sunk by tlie Ice in tlie Ohio.
PtTTS»L'K(-i, March 2.—The towboats Pacific No. 1 and Charley Hook of this city were sunk by the breaking of an ice-gorge at East Liverpool, ()., on the Ohio river, Friday morning. The former is valued at Si5,000, and Captain Elleiy Douds is the principal owner. Tho Charley Hook is owned by Hook Brothers of this place, and is valued at $12,000. It is thought that both will be total wrecks.
At Line island, near East Liverpool, several barges that were stranded at that point were sunk by the ice and their cargoes destroyed". They were loaded with barbed wire, nails and railroad iron to the value of $50,000.
The ico is going out. of the rivers at this point slowdy and thus far no damage has been done. The water is rising, however, and there is some fear of a flood.
Doin^ Without Sleep. j|i§l|:,Hf®:
ET.WOOD, Ind., March 2. David Jones, a prominent farmer, near here, has broken the record for sleepless men. He has had no sleep now for 152 days and nights until within the past few days. He lost a few pounds of flesh, but continued to work every day. Doctors prescribed for him, but failed to bring relief. Last Friday he began to feel drowsy, and during the night he slept half an hour. This has increased a litte more every night since, and now his friends think he soon will be all right again. Three years ago he went 90 days without sleep. His last full night's rest occurred Sept. 23, last year.
Election ftioters Acquitted.
CHICAGO, March 2.—"Major" Sampson and his associates of the Market street gang, who have been on trial for several days for assaulting various citizens on last election day, were acquitted by a jury. Sampson was caught in New Orleans several weeks ago, and brought back by a Chicago police officer. Ha will have to stand trial now for the murder of Gus Colliander, an election judge, who was killed during the raid on an election booth made with tho intent of stealing the ballot boxes.

WASHINGTON, March 2.—The Behrinp. sea differences between the Unitedl St.ates and Great Britain provoked an* animated de'bate in the senate late yesterday. Mr. Cockrell had offered art amendment to the pending deficiency bill, appropriating $50,000 for the expenses of another commission of arbi--tration to adjust the claims of Canaeliaw sealers seized by the United States. If was in line with the suggestions of letter just received by Secretary Gresliam. Air.
