ratifying Kvidi-nce Xliat. in Jfost Trades Ami Dislrirtg .Marked Improvement Over 1801 I- ':ili/.el, Though on the Whole Trade Is Smaller Than in 1893—Failures of the Past Week.

NEW YORK, April (I.—R. G. Dun & Company's weekly review of trade says: Returns showing the condition, of retail trade in March lliroughout- the country and the distribution of oods of final comparison with same month in 1894 and 181)3 give gratifying evidence that in most trades and districts marked improvement over 1894 is realized, though ou the whole trade is smaller than in 1893.

Everywhere, also, the occurrence of Easter in Marcli last year, but in April this year, is found to account for much difference in the volume of retail trade in quantities of goods sold, is nevertheless larger than last year, but oil the whole smaller than in 1893, the main difference in comparison with 1893 is found in the general decline of prices, which makes trade in value smaller even where it is clearly as large or larger in quantity.

Accounts from the chief centers c*. wholesale trade are also encouraging this week. There is not only hopeful spirit, but real gain in business, though not equally distributed geographically or as to branches of trade.

The best news from the industries is that labor troubles have been settled or avoided. Mahoning iron and eastern woolen mills being again active. Next in importance is the better demand for many manufactured products, which gives gi'eater reason to hope that the recent advances from the bottom may prove successful.

Following the rise in coke there have been this week sales of ~',00U.O(H) tons of lake ore at about: 15 cents advance, and hmslied pruciuets are no longer inactive, .Bessemer iron rising to *10.(io. grey forge to 2.'/. common bar to Sl." cents, structural angles to $1.4)4 and plates to Jjil per ton. U.neagd shares in the rise, and the Illinois iSteel company has achieved a notable success for taking the

COJunict

tor steel plates for ship

yards at Newport News. iJastern w.u'ks gain more slowly, notwithstanding the low price of anthracite coal. The production of Connellsville coke for the week, 1(18,101 tons, was the _* largest on record, but there is some fear that higher coke and ore may close some works. Copper is firmer, as sales of the stock taken from the French syndicate rei tioved a load over the market for the past six years, aud the tin has been stronger with tinplates because of purchases for Pacific canuers.

The cotton manufacture once stimulated by the rise in raw cotton goes on gaining, though cotton has halted. .Better demand appears for many qualities, and in some slight advances in price, bales of wool reflect the renewed ^confidence of manufacturers as strikes are out of the way, for 6,675,100 pounds were sold last week, against 4,648,200 ••••.•.pounds last year. No rise in prices is #eeu or expected in view of heavy sales and receipts of foreign wool.

Three years ago he graduated with special honors at the »St irling medical college in this city.

Dr. Jones is a talented young man, son uf one of Columbus' most prominent physicians, who has had every advantage and is exceptionally well fitted for the position, although he only gradu.ated from Starling college a couple of weeks ago.

AVas the Extent of the Explosion In New Orleans.

NKV. v/ULiEANS, April 6.—The fearful explosion which wrecked Salathe, the ship chandlery and the Fishermen's Exchange, the adjoining saloon, two landmarks opposite the French market, resuited, LU the death of at least five peopie. The Salatlies, husband aftd wife, and their little babe, Paul Rigaud, the barkeeper, and John Edwards, were the I victims whose bodies have been rec-ov-ered. The Salathe servants spent- the I night elsewhere and escaped. Two children were dragged from the ruins and although badly bruised and shocked, I will live. Half a dozc-n people in the vicinity were injured by falling debris, but all will recover.

The barroom was generally crowded at the hour of the fatality, but from aU accounts there seems .to have been a providential lull in trade whe a the explosion occurred. L. A. Boulet, who had such a narrow escape, when asked if he thought the explosion, was an attempt to kill him for having slain tialestracci, he shook liis head and replied that he thought not. "The Mafia," he said, "would not adopt such means to kill their victim. They have other and surer means of doing this kind of work. I firmly believe that the explosion was the result of an accident."

NEW LIGHT ON SEALS.

Lieutenant Cmn -tider Drake Upsets Pop»iln» Notions.

SAX FRANCISCO, April 0.—Lieutenant Commander J. F. Drake, who was in charge of the United States Albatross during her last cruise to the Arctic, in a lecture before the Young Men's Christian association on the recent developments in Behring sea, says: "I have made a calculation and I find it cost Uncle Sam just $107 per skin to protect, as I think, Canadian sealers. My experience with the seal overthrows everything I have read on the subject and lias taught me that the seal is anything but an intelligent animal and merely follows certain animal instincts. The warm current flowing into the Behring sea meets the cold current from the north, forces the food on which the animals subsist to the surface. This food consists of cod, halibut, salmon and other kinds of fish. This explains why seals are numerous in deep water and upsets entirely the theory that seals live on soundings. "From actual count the number of seals caught by pelagic sealers during the last year was 29.970. Of this number 22,168 were females. This means that every one of these seals has left a cub on the rocks to die for want of nourishment and undoubtedly another one to each female in the embryotic state. This really represents 06,534 seals destroyed outside the 60-mile limit. "Of the 37 sealers, 29 were British and eight were American, and thus we were really protecting Canadian sealers. It is the opinion of all sealers that a better system could not be devised for the speedy extermination of the seal than the adoption of the present laws. The greater number of seals are found outside the prohibitive zone."

OHIO MINERS.

Wages Will Depend Upon What, Is Paid in the Pittsburg District.

COLUMBUS, O., April 6.—The Ohio miners' convention adjourned yesterday evening. A resolution was offered for Ohio to mine coal at 9 cents below Pittsburg, whatever the price may be there. This was tabled, and the convention adopted a resolution not to arrange a scale until the Pittsburg strike is settled. Also that Ohio is willing to advance the rate at any time when Pittsburg may agree to do so.

J. S. Morton, Thomas Johnson and William Courtright, representing the operators of the Hocking valley, appeared before the miners' convention and advised them as to what policy the Ohio miners and operators ought to pursue so as not to be outgeneraled bv the Pittsburg operators. A conference oi operators from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois is being held to arrange the scale to be pai'l.
