Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: The volume of trade is well maintained and manufacturers arc better employed with some increase iu demand, where increase was most needed, and in¬ dications are that the people do not be¬ gin to think of reducing purchases. The treasury has been regaining gold, in spite of exports of $500,000 this week aud some exports expected, but in view of the enormous excess of imports since January 1st, it is scarcely reasonable to hope that further outgoes of gold the are to be avoided. The stringency in money market at New York and other points is largely due to slow collections, which ap¬ pear to result rather from severe weather than from any other form of commercial soundness. At Philadelphia money is close with dull collections. Iron is in better de¬ mand aud wool very firm. At Pittsburg steel is in better demand and an advauce in glass is talked of. The shoe trade at Cincinnati exceeds last year’s 20 per cent and a better dry goods trade is seen at Cleveland; general trade is good, with col¬ large demand for structural iron, but lections are slow. Trade at Detroit about equals last year’s, and at Indianap¬ olis dry goods are active aud manufac¬ turer's busy. General trade at Chicago is good and collections fair except at some western points, but money is in strong demand and partly because of bad roads. Receipts of many products de¬ clined—wool, corn, and dressed beef 6 per cent, hogs 52, cheese 54, cattle 24, barley and seeds 20 and oats 14 per cent. Receipts of wheat are 125 per cent larger than last year; rye 60; sheep 30 and hides 15 per cent. Weather retards trade at Milwaukee and St, Paul. At St. Louis money is unchanged with a legitimate demand.. Business is good at Kansas City and at Omaha trade is good. St. Joe reports a heavy trade. Business Denver is fair and at Salt Lake it is im¬ proving. At southern points improvement most iajMMin. asjgjcalbyg^fa«^^lle.apd Knox^ ELLIOT SHEPARD DEAD. He Dies Suddenly While Under tlx Influence of Ether. Colonel Elliot Shepard, editor of (he New York Mail and Express, died sud¬ denly Friday afternoon at his home at No. 2 West Fifty-second street. New York city. His death followed the ad¬ ministration of ether by Dr. Charles Mc Burney and the family physician, Dr. J. W. McLean, who were about to make an examination to ascertain whether the colonel’s suspicion that he suffered from stone in the bladder was correct. Colo¬ nel Sheppard has been in noticed good health, but nearly a month ago he symp¬ toms that led him to believe that he wa» afflicted with stone in the bladder. Hi* % doctor advised him to at least submit to an examination and to undergo aa oper¬ ation should it be deemed necessary. Up to Friday morning Colonel Shepard had attended to his business in the usual way. colonei. shepard’s death. About 1 o’clock Colonel Shepard and said he was ready for the surgeons, thej, with the nurses, began the work of put¬ ting him under the influence of ether. He had inhaled the drug but two or three times when the physicians detected dangerous symptoms and stopped the in¬ halation. He sank rapidly and for » time it was feared that he could not be rallied. Powerful restoratives were ad ministered. At the end of an hour’s work with oxygen, he was restored to partial consciousness and he continued apparently to rally until 4 o’clock, then without warning and for no apparent reason, he began rapidly to sink. The oxygen treatment was resumed, but it was of no avail. At 4:20 o’clock he died. He was unconscious, and his death was peaceful. The cause of the death given by the physicians was oede¬ ma of the lungs. SKETCH OP DECEASED. Eliott Fitch Shepard was born in James town, Cbatauqua county, N. Y., July 25, 1823.
