PITTSBURGH'S BLAZE. Two Million OoUui la Property Goes Of la Smoke—Several Hairbreadth Eacapee —A Loos Row of Tenement Hooaea Creaked by Faille K Walla—The Goode Destroyed the Property of Sereral Hundred Persona. Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 28.—Shortly after 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon the entire fire department of the city was summoned to Eleventh and Pike streets. 15y the time the first en-. pines on the scene were in service flames were bursting- from almost every window and door of the immense building owned and occupied by the Chautauqua Lake Ice Co. and the Pittsburgh storage Co. The building occupied a space of S00 by 100 feet, was of brick and stone, seven stories or ninety feet in height. Hang by Him Hands While He Roasted. Edward Spies, an employe, discovered the fire and gave the alarm. He was working on the fourth floor. Almost instantly he was enveloped in the flames, and although he attempted to fight the fire he was driven back to a window fifty feet from the ground, through which he made his escape. He crept out upon the narrow sill and, dropping down, hung by his hands until rescued by the laddermen of truck A. His hands, arms and face were literally roasted. It was scarcely five minutes after the discovery of the fire until the great structure was ablaze on every floor. A Welcome Rainfall. A soaking rainfall aided greatly in preventing the spread of the tire which

at several times threatened destruction to the many valuable properties in the vicinity. At 2 o'clock the occupants ol surrounding buildings were notified tc move out. Between Mulberry alley and Pennsylvania avenue, on the southeast side of the burning building were a cheap class of tenements, crowded to suffocation with Polish Jews and Slavs who were thrown into a panic. Fifteen minutes later the side of the building fell with a terrible crash, burying a long row of tenements just vacated. Flames burst from the burning dwellings, adding danger to the surrounding property. At 2:S0 o'clock the four upper stories of the Thirteenth street wall fell outward, burying the street to the depth of ten feet and crushing the house of John Ulenn, on the opposite side of the street. The Only Property Saved. On the ground floor of the warehouse were five loaded freight cars. Just before the crash they were drawn, all burning, to a place of safety. Of all the hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of property stored in the building, these five carloads were all that was saved. The large warehouses of the Haveler Storage . Co., on the opposite side of Pike street, caught fire several times, but were not seriously damaged. The rear of a number of the Pennsylvania- - street buildings were also severely scorched. The most serious damage here was to Hiber's drug store, which with contents was al most destroyed. A Number of Narrow Escapes. A number of narrow escapes were made by employes in the storage building. They were: J. Heilman, who dropped from a third floor window to the alley. His injuries are fatal. Martiq^ Griffith, badly burned: hung from a window until rescued by the firemen. Edward Spies, burned about the head, hands and arms: may not recover. William Cox also rescued from the third-floor by firemen; badly burned. William Smith, burned about, face and body. Frank McCann, of Engine Co. No. 7, struck by falling walls; legs fractured. President William -Scott stated last night that the loss to the Chautauqua Lake Ice Co. and the Pittsburgh Storage Co. will reach almost $1,000,000. He could give no estimate of the amount of insurance, as the papers were all locked in the safe, then in the midst of the flames. The storage apartments, he stated, were filled with all kinds of goods, some of which were very valuable. These goods are owned by probably several hundred different people, and are mostly -insured by the owners, as well as by the storage company. At 10 o'clock last night the tire fire was burning .furiously, confined by the tottering -walls, which were white with the intensity of the heat.

THE STATE OF TRADE. Th» Conditio* of CooMMielol nod Flo*** clot A (Tain Throne hoot tho Country no Reflected Through R. 6. Don • Co’O Weekly Review—The Number and SUf ■Itude of Failure* Fveeeptlbly Deereaa* Inf and Confidence Gradually Returning. Nkw York, Oct. 88.—R. G. Dun . Jt Co.'s weekly review of trade, issued today, says: Port Is In sight alter a long and stormy voyage, and the prospect ot a speedy end of thestruggle for repeal has brought bright hopes tobusiness. Stocks climbed rapidly for three days, banks relaxed restraints, commercial loans are more freely sought and made, and reports from all Quarters show the prevalence of > more hopeful feeling. This in Itself tendslo produce some revival ot consumption and. of industry, which. nevertheless, has made but moderate progress as yet. It Is still too soon to expect much effect in trade and. manufactures, and though monetary obstacles are to a large extent removed, there still remain other legislative questions which create uncertainty. Opinion also differs as to the extent of Improvement now to be expected after so much doubt and delay and loss. But tbr clearings outside New York this week are not quite 1W per cent, less than last year. The anticipation ot repeal and the happy union of the Vanderbilt. Jersey City and Lackawanna. gave the stock market three happy days in which stocks rose an average of *i-5i> per share, and trust stocks 13.50 per share, and the sales tor the week have been S.SSO.OOffr shares. But on Thursday there came a pause. Traders weTe taking profits, of course, but *■ . T more important tact was that London emptied about (3.500.000 worth ot stocks on the market rapidly. This indicated loss confidence on that side than had been anticipated In the recuperative virtue of assured legislation, and coming so soon after the Vanderbilt purchase, suggested whether its effects upon trunk-tine and coal-carrying roads, though obviously encouraging, had been in all respects apprehended. This selling raised the rate of exchange in the iace of the announcement that (SlO.dlOgold has beers shipped hither the same day from London at an operation which might have paid better lit prices obtained for stocks than in any otherway. A fact of real encouragement is that railway earnings tor the third week of October RL sbow an Increase of 3 per cent over last year,

me nrsi increase tor a long lime. iNoiwitnstanding the large sales the market continued 1 unusually strong. —, In other speculative markets, in spite of monetary comfort and bright prospects gains realized were small. Wheat rose 2 cents, though Atlantic exports fell to 1.100.00J bushels for the week against 1.900.000 bushels last year, in part because western receipts were but 5,800.000 against8.900.000 last year. But corn declined an eighth with better reports of yield. Coffee declined-three-sixteenths. Pork products made only •light gains and cotton fell a quarter, r jceiptsbeing 60,000 bales greater than last year. As yei there is seen only a continuance of the faint and slow increase in dlstributioit of products, which has been noticed for some weeks. Nor does even this gradual revival in demand extend to all branch^/ Most of the increase yet seen in cotton and shoe manufacture may be explained by mere exhaustion instocks of dealers as frequent requests for immediate delivery show; but there is also reported by dealers a somewhat better demand from consumers and four more cotton mills have started and several Increased their forcesagainst those stopping or decreasing. A. similar > demand has increased by sixty the number of hosiery and knit goods works reported in operation. The shipment of shoe» from* the east in four weeks of October are 88per cent, less than last year, against 32 per cent, in September, but against eight comparatively small woolen mills starting five have stopped, including one of 3,000 and another of 1.000 hands. There is little sign of increase in the demand for goods. The recent demand for worsteds has subsided, clothiers are doing hardly more than enougta to prepare samples. The total sales of wool atthe chief markets, including several milliozs pounds believed to be speculation, have been 9.207.152 pounds In three weeks, against 21.975,000 last year. Two additional iron furnaces have gone into blast, and the output at the' south may be a little larger than at the beginning of the month. Some rail mills have resumed manufacture, apparently to provide for future rather than present wants of their customers. and there is some addition to the number of rail and wire works and machine shopsemployed. But the demand for most produ9tais small: steel billets are called firmer at ISO; ship plates are delivered at Philadelphia yards- . for $1.65, and bar sells with decreasing demand for $1.33 at Chicago. It.is hoped that monetaryease and security may encourage railroad extensions and more architectural work. But the shrinkage in demand is not wholly due to* the state of the money markets. Lake copper is sold at 97 cents. Tin is a shade lower, lead is quoted at 3.3 cents, in spite of the sale of 1.50b tons, and spelter is firmer only because of large purchases for export. The New T(ork banks still accumulate money, and commercial loans are more largely asked and obtained. Th*s enables merchants to take goods out of bond, and may increase customs receipts, which have amounted in twenty-five days of October to $10,208,291. against $16,366,559 for the full month last year. Apparently the month's • decrease will be about 25per cant. Internal revenue is probably bettei maintained in the same time. $11,502,000^ against $14,573,786 for the same month last year. The treasury gold fell to. nearly $81.00C,000. but has since risen more than a million, pension payments decreasing. The number and magnitude of failures decreased less than has been expected, the liabilities in three weeks of October amounting to $51,702,120^ against about $7,000,000 for the same weeks last year. This week there haver been 332 failures in the United States, against 187 last year, and 44 in Canada, against 2J last year. THE UNION PACIFIC NOT IN IT

No Intention or I’nltlug in n Joint Emlirro t CI«*orli»~hout*e, Hnvliig Already' Made It* Contracts tor a Vear. Chicago. Oct. 28.—It is very evident that the Union Pacific has no intention of uniting' with the other western roads in the establishment of a jointemigrant clearinghouse in New York or to have the business equally divided among the competing roads. A reply was received from it yesterday to th» request for a conference on the subject. While it did not refuse outrightto confer, it did conditionally by saying that one could not be arranged for at present. It does not want any conference, besides it has already made its contracts with the emigrant agentsfor a year, and does not want to show its hand in the matter. This means continued demoralization in emigrant rates which it will be next to impossible to prevent spreading to other classes of rates. In fact, result in an all-round passenger rate war in western territory, just as soon as World's fair business is got out of the way. " Went to the Launching.
