Congressional Candidate Drops Dead.
CHICAGO, Oct. 12.—Cyrus Cook, a prominent Republican politician of Edwardsville, Ills., dropped dead at the Great Northern hotel yesterday, where he was attending a meeting of Illinois Republicans. Judge Cook was clioson a few days ago as the Republican candidate for congress in the Eighteenth district. The political aspect in the district is entirely changed by this occurrence, as it will necessitate the selection of another candidate. This will add another tangle in the already perplexing situation. The silver question is the chief issue in the district.

SCARCITY OF ORDERS.
Growing Uncertainty About the Near Future.
STILL THERE ARE PROSPECTS.
Money Markets Are Neither Strained Nor
Threatening, Foreign Exchanges No
Longer Kaise Apprehension and All
Fears About the Great Northern Crops
Are Past.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—R. G. Dun & Company's weekly review of trade says: The price barometer gives indications that are not entirely favorable. Cotton goods go up with increasing evidence that the crop of cotton is short. Prices of other manufactured products, of wool, hides and leather, all show some decline, a general abatement ia. new orders being the principal cause. With an immense volume of business, not much exceeded in the largest month of the exceptional year, 1?92, and with evidence that in several'important branches the volume has surpassed. that, of any previous year, there is a growing uncertainty about the near future of industries. Money markets are neither strained no» threatening, foreign exchanges no longer raise apprehension, all fears about the great northern crops are past. There have been few advances in wages of labox within the past month and only a few works have been closed by strikes for an advance.
The production of pig iron Oct. 1 was the largest in the history of the country—201,414 tons weekly, against 194,029 Sept. 1, 196,000 being the highest in 1892. Stocks unsold are not stated, but substantially the whole production is in execution of past orders. On the other hand, new orders are exceedingly small. There is a marked decrease in almost all finished orders, tank steel is lower, bar iron is offered by some at concessions, plates are not firm, the structural demand lias greatly increased and wire rods decline $1 to $29, with lower wire and much reduced demand for nails. Bessemer pig has fallen $1 to $15 at Pittsburg, and grey forge 35 cents, and prices of iron products average 1 1-2 per cent lower for the week. Discontinuance of a demand, which could not be expected to continue at the same rate after prices had risen 52.9 per cent, leaves actual consumption in question.
In woolen manufactures a demand for dress goods and some specialties keeps many fully employed, but most of the works making men's woolens, for which new orders scanty, find not enough to keep them running. To pile up goods in advance, wholly in the dark as to future foreign competition, involves such risk that some concerns may close for a time. Yet sales of wool continue heavy, 11,349,200 pounds for the week, largely speculative. The cotton manufacture is peculiarly favored by the rise in materials, and by the extraordinary stock of cotton brought over from last year, but goods are also advancing, those quoted last week now averaging 90.8, against S7.5 per ceut of the prices of 1890.
It is too early for cotton movements to cast much light on the probable yield. Port receipts, thus far 23 per cent smaller than last year, do not indicate as small a crop as many feared, in view of the known lateness of picking. Widely circulated advices to hold back cotton have some influence also. At present prices, averaging 8 1-2 cents in southern markets against 5 3-4 a year ago. 7,000,000 bales will bring $13,000,000 more than 9,900,000 bales brought last year.
Wheat receipts have been 7,531,474 bushels, against 4,690,181 last year, and Atlantic exports only 1,707,62 bushels, flour included, against 1,998,786 last year. The movement at Duluth is so heavy as to absorb vessels, and almost arrest more shipments.
Failures for the week have included two banks and several coneer*. of some size, and have been 268 in the United States, against 231 last year, and 52 in Canada, against 43 last year.
FAVORS A CANAL.
Report of the President of tlia Nicaragua Canal Commission.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—Major Ludlow, the president of the commission sent by the president to Nicaragua to make the government investigation of the canal, has finished his repoit and it will be made public shortly. Major Ludlow makes a most exhaustive statement and his chief recommendation is in favor of the Niearaguan route other than the Panama one.

TUe sand will be utilized in the manufacture of brick under a patent, an immense industry having been established.

Couples from all sections of the state have sought its summit to have the marriage ceremony performed.
•DUPLICATE KEYS.
Afe Attempt Made to Release Harry IIayward From PrUon.
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 12.—The county authorities admitted yesterday that they had discovered a plot to effect the escape of Harry Hay ward, the condemned murderer of Catherine Ging, from the county jail. Duplicate keys had been made in some way which fitted his cell door aud the outer door. These keys have been found by one of the sheriff's deputies aud when tried fitted the locks perfectly.
The sheriff had kept the matter quiet and laid a plan to capture the conspirators in the act. A bribe had been offered to one of his deputies, a fact which the deputy promptly reported to Sheriff Holmberg. The publication of the facts will prevent the attempt, but arrests are likely to follow.
Queen Killed by Anti».
YOKOHAMA, Oct. 12.—Count Koumura, director of the political bureau, has forwarded from Seoul, the capital of Corea, a report upon the present uprising there.

GUAYMAS, Mex., Oct. 12.—Advices slowly reaching this port from Pacific ports of Mexico and ports on the west side of the Gulf of California convey the intelligence that tha hnrricano swept northward during the four days —Sept. 30, Oct. 1, 2 and 8—caused great damage to property and shipping, and that a number of lives were lost. Telegraph wires were prostrated, and information comes in by degrees as people arrive from below.
The hurricane crossed the Isthmus of Teliauntepec, swept up the coast into the Gulf of California, doing great damage. Tho hurricane was accompanied by deluges of water, which completed the ruin the wind had wrought. At Topolobampo all the houses of the American colony were greatly damaged and the customhouse was wrecked.
The Ahorny river, north of Topolobampo, overflowed its banks and destroyed sugar plantations aud sugar mills 30 miles away from the channel of the stream. The entire cane crop of the state of Sinaloa as far as reported is completely ruined and the sugar lands and refineries at Ahono, the property of Mark Sherwood of Chicago and associates, wro demolished. Tho sugar crop on the Yaqui river in the state of Sonora is also destroyed.
The damage to the sugar interest of the states of Sinaola and Sonora is estimated at several millions of dollars. Several coasting steamers are several days overdue at Guaymes, and great apprehension is felt for their safety. The Willamette Valley found
