Dun & Co. says: Business in all branches shows au im- improvent and speculation in breadstuff® is stronger, but the stock market has been liquidating and quotations have de¬ clined. The street is no longer a barom¬ eter and the industries and trade of the country pay no attention to the stock exchange. The prices of commodities are a shade stronger than a week ago, grain and oil having advanced with many kinds of manufactured products, but the general advance since Oct. 1st is not a quarter of 1 per cent as yet. The move¬ ment of coumuftlities is very heavy. The money market is nowhere a source of em¬ barrassment, and the feeling of confidence everywhere increases. Southern'reports are generally bright, the movement of cotton being remarka¬ bly early and large. Great industries are gaining. In spite of the enormous out¬ put of pig-iron the tone is stronger, and at Philadelphia mill iron is 25 cents higher. Bread-stuffs had been advancing in spite of small exports, which fall far below last year’s as yet. Wheat has risen 3| cents for the week on sales of 20,000,- 000 bushels at New' York, and corn nearly 2 cents on sales of 10,000,000 bushels Oil has risen 2 cents, with insignificant dealings, and coffee is a quarter lower, the present range of prices being decor¬ ously described as “strained.” Foreign trade is fairly satisfactory, for while ex¬ ports of grain are restricted, cotton moves largely, though the value of ex- ports’last week showed a decline in com¬ parison with last year. The number of failures for the week in the United States is 186, compared with 182 for the same time last vg nr . FEARFUL EXPLOSION. TOWDER MILLS BLOWN DP DEALING DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. A workman in one of the packing mills connected with the “Upper” yards, was receiving a can of hexagonal powder to be shipped\for the use of the United States government, when in some way a spark communicated to the can, and it blew up. Instantly the packing mill exploded^ and other mills in the upper yards, seven or eight in number, followed at intervals of less than one second from the concussion. The shock was simply terrific, and was felt even in Philadelphia, thirty-five miles away, and in New Jersey and elsewhere. At the “Upper” yards, where the explosion inhabited oc¬ curred, are some fifty houses, by employes of the powder mills, clus¬ tered, and they are all wrecked. The office of the Dupont company is a com¬ plete wreck, and the six mills are in ruins. All buildings within a radius of half a mil# are damaged, and the concussion even broke windows in some parts of Wilmington, four or five miles away. About fifty families are rendered home¬ less by the disaster. Following is a par¬ tial list of v, the killed: Martin Dolan, James Dolan, William 3IcGarvy, John Hartygan, William Dennison, John Dietz, John Hurlike, Patrick Dougherty, Wil¬ liam Green, .John Newell, Rose Dough¬ and erty.

Receiver. 4t The Southern Lumberman says that the census returns will show a most en¬ couraging growth of Southern cities, and will be substantially as follows: Louis¬ ville lias grown from 123,000 population in 1880 to 180,000, 3Icmphis from 33,000 to 64,000, Nashville from 43,000 to 75,- 000, Atlauta from 37,000 to 65,000, Sa¬ vannah from 30,000 to 43,000, Dallas from 10,000 to 39,000, Galveston from 22,000 to 35,000, Chattanooga from 13,- 000 to 30,000, Birmingham from 3,000 to 27,000, Fort Worth from 6,000 to31,- 000, has and the growth of all other towns been equally as great. It is safe to say that the Southern towns, taken on an average, have almost doubled in pop¬ ulation w ithin the last ten years and have increased fourfold in wealth, The active development of the mineral and timber interests in the South has been one of the chief factors in promoting the grow th of the towns, and has added ue small share to the general urosueriU'.
