IN GENERAL.

Men who have just returned from Dawson say a second strike has been made in the marvelous Eldorado Creek district in Alaska. Two men who discovered the spot washed out $5,900 the first day. Pans of dirt taken from the streak yield ns high as SSO each, Bradstreet's says: ‘‘While adversely affected by unfavorable weather conditions, general trade manifests a strong underlying tone which seemingly lacks only the advent of better weather to become buoyant. Cold weather has undoubtedly affected planting and germination in some sections, but the probable damage to crops is not great as earlier advances appeared to indicate. In gome directions activity is pronounced, as, for example,’ in iron and steel, where apparently production is taxed to its capacity, though seemingly more to meet existing requirements than because of new orders. The backward spring lias worked to the disadvantage of dry goods, but the trade is looking up somewhat with the promise of improved weather conditions.
