THE WORLD OF TRADE. Hi» Outlook m Shown by R. G. Dan A 1 t'o*r* Weekly Report—I adustrl »t Hwlt-n* t tkon Consequent Upon Tartly Lexhla* t Ion—The General Tendency Toward lower Price* Attributed to the Detail of the Free Coinage Proposition ixt title lton.se of Reproi .‘ntatlres— fait ares, Etc. Kew Yoke. June 28.—R. G. Dun & Ca , In theiir weekly report say: Tha prolonged uncertainties regarding i legislation, which have by no means diminished (lurin' the past week, and the continuance of gold exports, have an unfavorable 1 effect npon business. While the volume of trade, as indicated by special reports, by bank exchanges at interior cities, and by railroad earnings, continues larger than in the same month of any previous year, the prospect for the future is rendered less sat isf.ictory by industrial hesitation and by doubt in regard to th» monetary outlook. The fiiovcment of gold to Germany is understood to be connected with operations of bankers in placing heavy South American loans, but could har tly occur even under the special circumstances If there wer-e j not. on the part of foreign capitalist), some j realizing or less investment than usual in American securities. Industrial hesitation results from the delay of legislation, and increased uncertainty regarding the . outcome. Wool is distinctly weaker In the interior and at Eastern markets, and a disposition Is shown to meet the needs of manufacturers. Rut •he latter buy sparingly and many Tfnit goods and flannel works are shutting down, cassimero works are badly supplied with orders, and while makers of dre9s goods and worsteds are in better position, their outlook is not entirely satisfactory. It is felt that the greater part of a year will be required to clear the markets of supplies of foreign goods under present duties, even If the proposed tariff should be adopted. This uncertainty also affects estimates of the future demand for iron and addition of new furnaces weakens that market Large transactions in strnctural iron and rail) have been closed, but without strengthening prices. In the boot and shoe business, while higher prices are asked and obtained, confidence as to the future seems less strong, and the cotton manufacturer finds the material too high for goods at present prices. The general level of prices (slower. In part b» cause of reaction from the many speculations which the prospect of unlimited silver coinage engendered. The defeat of that measure in the House leaves some doubt whether any agreement between the two houses will be found practicable, and this has a chilling influence on many speculations, but at the same time lessens the anxiety felt at' .some monetary epnters. Business at other cities is well maintained for the senson, and the exceedingly confident tone hitherto prevailing does not at all abate. If there arj possibil ties o| disappointment, they do not seem to bo realized as yet. In all the reports, whether from North or South, there is a noteworthy absence of complaint about collections, and money markets are fully supplied. Gold exports have caused no change ip call rates here, but the banks have but a small reserve for midsummer. The Treasury has taken in only $30 SOW more than it has paid out, and the merchandise exports here are larger, showing for the month thus f&r an iucrease of 3 percent, over last year. Nevertheless, the excess of imports over'exports for ths month will be heavy, probably far exceeding that of May, which was over $15,00>,000. The continued depression In stocks and the failure thus far to settle railroad wars, tend to discourage foreign investments, upon which the uncertainty about silver legislation also has some influence. Business failures throughout the country during the last seven days numbered: For the United States, 17b; Canada, 21; total. r02, compared with 190 last week. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 1$! in the United States aud 31 in Canada.

NOBLE DECIDES That C. M. Wells Mast be Allowed t» Purchase Certain frauds In the Los Angeles Lund District—The Land Commissioner Overruled. Washington, June 28.—Secretary Noble entered a decision in tbe ex parte case of C M. Wells, whose application to purchase a tract of 820 acrc3 of land in the Los Angeles, Cal., land district had been rejected by the Com? missioner of the General Land Office. The land is within the primary limits of the grant to the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, and also within the ' indemnity limits of the forfeited grant' to the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Com- ; pany. Wells’ application to purchase 1 is made under the act of March 8, 1887. ! The Commissioner rejected tho applica- j tion for the reason tha* it was prema- j turely made—the lands having been 1 reserved awaiting adjudication by the ■ courts. The secretary, however, holds that Wells’ case is clearly within the statute, and he must bo-allowed to purchase under the action if ho prefers to j do so rather than to await the adjudica- j tion of the courts. „ THE DOMINION. g Trouble with the Lobster Factories at St j George’s Bay, Newfoundland. St. Johns, N. F., June 27.—Sir Bald- ! win Walker, captain of the British Warship Emerald, has taken possession of Mr. Baird’s lobster factory at Fishell’s Brook, St George’s Bay. He left four marines in charge of the premises. .Mr. Baird had refused to obey two orders to close his factory. Captain Walker also caused Mr. Baird’s factory at Sandy Point to be closed. It had been running two years, so that the modus vivondi does not apply. Mr. Baird dispatched a solicitor to serve a writ on Captain Walker for illogal trespass and violation of the modus vivendi. He will file Captain Walker in the law courts, believing that he can not enforce the modus, vivendi legally. Twen-ty-six: lobster packers will take the same course.

All faith in the inlustrious rescuers has been abandoned, , Che entombed miners can. not be resiued now. A furious 2re has sealed iheir foie, and if their dead bodies warn po the hungry f-amos, the pilfering , •ats ihat infest the mines will have -navved thorn beyond recognition. Death never came to men in a more revolting font, and affliction never fell , leavier on the bereaved. This has iieen an awtul event, yet even a greater iisaster threatens. A. fire, fibres as a whirlwind, is, raging. for two thousand feet down into the yawning mouth of Iho Hill ftrar mine. Deadly gas has generated bask of the fire, and the pondrous hill into which the Hill Farm, the Ferguson and the Mahonig pits are driven, is to-bigat a mighty magazine, [airly pregnant with death. The lightest stroke of a miner’s pick would explode it, and the effect of such an explosion would be awful to contemplate. The rescuing party has been withdrawn from the face of the Jiahonig pit. A strong guard ha3 been placed at the j mouth of the Ferguson mines to keep out the impatient, restless miners who would rescue the unfortunates on their own account. The flames at the Hill Farm mines are hot enough to drive away invaders. Fire broke from the mouth of the pit shortly after nine o’clock to night. It followed promptly after the drill ent- j erod the burning mine. For two hours before the Ramos burst out, huge billows of smoke, black, dense and deadly, rolled over each ether into the air and drifted upward, forming an awful monument of mourning to the dead inside, A rumbling, rushing sound,like a swift-ly-moving train through a tunnel, preceded the flames. Secretary W&tobem, Superintendent Hill and the United Press reporter were at the pit mouth awaiting the outbreak. To the experts the smoke indicated approaching fire, and for a half hour before it arrived its coming could bo heard, and long before the Bre reached the pit mouth it-could i>o seen licking up the timbers in the mine, and thesteady stream of water which rippled down the slope seemed only to inspire and encourage to wilder efforts the angry fiend.

it was- iuutou »u c»*gu«> «•««»* when with a brilliant flash the great column of smoke was ignited the heavens sec mod aflame. Fantastic figures of fire darted hither and thither, nbasing each other, to the clouds and burning a huge hole through the gloom of night. The surrounding country was lighted up, guiding the excited and nervous crowds to the -scene. Those who bad been watching at the Mahonig mine, hurried cfer the hill to the fire. The people of Dunbar who could sco the reddened heavens from the village rushed about in confusion, fearful that another calamity had occurred. The families of tbo entombed miners who have waited and watched until their grief bad become deadened are aroused, and their sufferings and distress come to them anew. Neighbors gathered intocaeh stricken home,and while they comforted the living they prayed for the dead; and whilo they watched the fire they scorned mentally to bury their loved ones. The heading in the Hill Farm mine wa3 not accompanied with accident James Barnhill, a practical miner, guided the drill and when ho touched the objective point he secured a green bag f ill Of air unit then the rescuing party was ordered out of the pit. Inspectors KeigUly, lllick and Evans then examined the face of the mine, after which they left the place to consult. They decided that any attempt to break through the dividing wall might be accompanied by accident. Wat them, Wise ind other minors were present at the conference. Tht suspension of work just when the unfortunate miners are almost within reach has been a great disappointment here and has still further enraged the people. The /also reports sent out daily by the mine inspector had led them to*bope against themselves, and when the fire broke, out to-night the feeling was intensely bitter against those wheel they would hold responsible for the delay. The conference lasted for nearly an hour. Every possible plan cf rescue was discussed, 'out none of them was adopted. Finally Inspectors Louttit, Keighly, Mastorman, Korfoot and Manager Hill, of the Furnace company, decided to faee death itself that the entombed men may be rescued. They decided to go to the face and together dig through. There are eleven feet of coal to dig, or about two hours’ work. They are all provided with all appliances for their safety, but they carry their lives in their hands, and everybody about the pit hade them good-by o and wished for tboir safe return.
