TRADE REVIEW. Dun & Cos. Send Out Another Encouraging Report. Dun’s weekly review of trade says the hot weather at the west is worth to the country many millions every day. Each clear and cloudless day places millions of bushels of corn beyond the possibility of harm from frost, and a great part of the anticipated crop is already safe. Large crops mean that the farmers will be ena bled to purchase more freely of the pro ducts of other industries, and will pay this fall a vast amount of indebtness. In four months, ending September Ist, about 26$ per cent of the mort gage debts on farms in Kansas, or about $10,000,000, had been paid. Several hundred millions will thus be re turned to lenders, who will powerfully affect all markets by their efforts to find anew use of their money. Meanwhile, gold is also coming from Europe, and though foreign banking institutions are doing what they can in self-defense to restrain the movement, they fail to pre vent active buying of American securities by foreign investors. With money com ing for stocks and bonds, as w r ell as for wheat and cotton, and with the liquida tion of farming indebtedness, the pros pects for business this fall are unusually bright. IMPROVEMENT IN THE CITIES. Actual improvement is seen in nearly all cities for the week. At Phila delphia business is more active, aDd the iron markets stronger as well well as trade in jewelry, paints and glass, though the improvement in the demand for dry goods is not felt by the manufacturers. It is especially noteworthy that collec tions are improving at most points aud that money markets are, on the whole, comparatively easy, although the crops to be moved are enormous and the actual movement unprecedented. TIIE IRON TRADE. It is a surprising fact that notwith standing the output of pig iron is almost equal to the largest ever known, the price grows more steadily and stiff, and a decidedly better tone is observed in all important markets. This has been no ticed for a month or more, as a sure in dication of a very large and healthy con sumption of iron. But during the past week there have also been rumors of a warlike tone from Europe, which ha 9 affected the iron markets of the United States. A more obvious cause of improvement is that stocks and bonds are stronger, and consequently, the railroads have more money for the purchase of rails, and there it a better prospect for the building of new railroads, snd for extensions. The woolen manufacture is doing re markably well, particularly in worsteds and dress goods, and the demand for dress goods notably exceeds the present supply. Print cloths have advanced a little, and it is believed that this hw been the largest season ever known in prints. Business failures occurring throughout the country during the past seven days number 210. ' THE STORY DENIED That the Catholic Knights Hy pothecated Bonds.

The county clerk subpoenaed the officers of the land companies doing business in the city to appear and show cause why they should not pay the five liundred-dollar state privilege license under the law of 1889. The county and city have the right to assess the same tax, which would make $1,500 per year for each company, aud $4,500 for each company for the past three years.

CROP REPORT. Uncle Sam’s Weekly Weather Bulletin. The weather bureau’s crop bulletin for week ended September 19th, says: It has been a warm week east of the Rocky mountains, the greatest excess in tem perature occurring over the central val itys where warm, dry weather was most reeded for the ripening of corn. Over the greater portion of the corn region the daily excess in temperature ranged from 0 degrees to 8 degrees, aud this high tem perature, attended as it was by almost c -ntinuously clear weather, must have forced the ripening of corn, which had been retarded in growth daring the three previous weeks of cool weather. In the cotton region the temperature was slight ly in excess. There was a general deficiency in rainfall over the whole country east of the Rocky mountains, with the exception of a few limited lo calities where local showers gave more than the normal rainfall. These sin dl areas are located in North Carolina, Tcx a, eastern Michigan and northwest lowa. There ivus an almost total absence of raiu in the lower Mississippi, lower Ohio, aud lower Missouri valleys. Heavy local showers occurred iu the east gulf states and lower lake region, w hile very light showers were reported from all other dis tricts. GENERAL, REMARKS.

A Dallas, Tex., dispatch says; Mon day afternoon a tire consumed a half mile of stalls at the Dallas fair grounds, be sides the two large private stables of H. B. Shinbom, of Houston, Tex. The stables contained 261) stalls, aid there were 200 horses entered. The stables were built of such combustible material that the flames swept them from the face of the earth in thirty minutes, fanned by a brisk wind. The scene during the fire beggared description. Dozens of men and stable boys were panic-stricken, aqd made feeble efforts to save the horses, harness and other track paraphernalia, but the heat was so terrible that they did little or no good, Mr. Sanborn lost twelve fine Percheron aud Norman stal lions, valued at thirty thousand to forty thousand dollars. The trotting horse, Wilkes, valued at $5,000, was led out of his stall, but became unmanageable and plunged into the burning stall, from which he could not bo rescued.

Nearly a Million Stolen and No Clue to the Thieves. A cablegram from London, Eng., says: Another heavy bank robbery was re ported monday, but ns every effort .s being made to suppress the facts, no authoritative story can be told. So for known, however, it is this: A large par cel of bills, remitted from country banks, has been stolen from the London and Westminster bank, limited, which is an important institution, having fifteen or more branches in London. The amount lost is variously stated from $750,000 to $1,150,000. The matter has become pub lic through notes to the banks and police centers of the country, and through the espionage over departing vessels at all the ports of the United Kingdom. The theory of the police is that no attempt will be made to use the money in Great Britain, but that it will be taken abroad, most likely to the continent, where a great deal of English money circulates. A FORMER ROIJBERY RECALLED. The actuat method of the robbery is, to the public, entirely conjectural, but the circumstances recall the clever rob bery last February of a clerk of the Lon don branch of the B >nk of Scotland, as he stood at a public counter of the Provincial bank. The thieves obtaim J $60,000 by that haul and noth ing has ever been heard of them or the money. Quite recently it was re ported that the Bank of England had been robbed of £250,000, but that state ment was denied by officers. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Florida Phosphate Miners to Have a General Meeting’. An Ocala, Fl,a., special of Saturday to the Jacksonville Times-Union says: The following call his just been issued here aud sent in circular form ttf all the phosphate miners and owners of phos phate lands in Florida: “The imperative necessity of concerted action among phosphate miners in the state of Florida hai induced us to call for a general meet ing of miners and interested in the sale of phosphate reck, it is sug gested by some that we form a phosphate exchange in the city of Ocala for mutual protection and advantage. A full meet ing is urged. Those interested will meet at the office of the Blue River Phos phate Company in Ocala, Florida, Octo ber 1, 1891, at 3 o’clock, p. m. The call is signed by the Euraka Phos phide Company, E. W. Aguew, for the Marion Phosphate Company and about twenty-five other individuals and compa nies. The imperative neccessity for con cert of action is doubtless found in the present low prices in European markets and the great advance in freight to the United Kingdom and continental ports. The shipment of grain will probably keep freights up for some mouths to come, and eve iat the present theie is hardly any tonnage olleriiig. A movement will prob ably be mude at the coming meeiing to control the monthly output of the Florida phosphate miufes in the interest of the operating companies and owner*. BALMACEDA SUICIDES. The Quondam Chilean Leader Ends His Life. Tne New York Herald , of Sunday, prints a spec al from Valparaiso, Chile, stating that Bilmaceda committed sui cide Sa'urday at the Argentine legation, in Santiago, by shooting himself in the head with a revolver. The dispatch says Balmaceda left Santiago August 29th in hope of making his escape from Chile, but seeing every avenue of re treat cut off, returned Septem ber 2d and went direct to the Ar gentine legation his inteution being to go aboard the vessel Condell, which fie expected to find in San Antonio bay. Upon arriving there he found the vessel had sailed. Since his return to the Ar gentin legation, in Santiago, Balmaceda had been in an extremely nervous condi tion. No one, wish the exception of the Argentine minister and one other man, who was devoted to the ex-president, were permitted to talk with or even see him. Senor Umburia had a long talk with Balmaceda Friday night relative to the latter’s ideas shout the advisability of giving himself up to the junta. Rahua ceda wept to bed about m‘d igbt. About 8 o’clock a. m., a pistol shot was heard in the bedroom assigned to Balmaceda. Breaking open the door of Balmiceda’s room, it was found that he had shot himself. The body was still warm. Theie was a gaping wound in the temple. SOME OF OUR GUNBOATS May be Sent to China as an Ad ditional Precaution. A Washington dispatch of Monday says: A week ago Secretary Tracy, after sum moning a number of American war ves sels in Chinese waters, remarked: “If, however, American missions and Ameri can citizens in China are to rely upon gunboats for their protection, rather than upon the Chinese government, our fleet in those waters must be very largely in creased.” Since that utterance events have so shaped themselves as to indicate the wisdom of preparing to meet an emergency fori seen by Secretary Tracy. While there is at present no formal alli ance, yet the government of the United States has reached an understanding with the governments of Great Britain, France and Germany by the terms of which, in the event of failure of the Chinese gov ernment to afford adequate guarantees for the protection of the lives, property and interests of citizens of these four nations, that duty is to be undertaken by the governments of the United States, Great Britain, Germany and France, act ing jointly. BISHOP TURNER, The Colored Divine, Talks Glow ingly of Africa. A Boston, Mass., dispatch says: Bish op Henry McNeil Turner spoke to a large congregation of colored people Monday night in the African Methodist Episcopal church, on Charles street, ou his propos ed trip to Africa, and in advocacy of the migration of 109,000 or 150,000 of the colored race to that continent. His ob servation, he said, had taught him that there was little hope for the oolored race in this country; that the best thing c> number of them could do was to go to some other country, set up a government of their own, and demonstrate that they had in them native ability to administer the affairs of state. In Africa he saw such a country. It was rich in gold, sil ver, precious stones and minerals of all descriptions, such as a people starting to govern themselves would need to make them strong and mighty. He solemnly be lieved that the black men and women in America would finally be the instrument to redeem and Christianize Africa and plant on her soil one of the grandest gov ernments the sun ever shone upon. CAROLINA COTTON Damaged One-Fourth by the Heavy Rains. A Columbia dispatch of Sunday says: Reports from all over the state, received by the weather bureau, show that the damage to the cotton crop by the recent heavy rains was not overestimated. Dur ing the past week the rainfall has been below the normal; temperature about the average; amount of sunshine about the average. The heavy rains which completely saturated the soil, and in many places ponded, together with the hot sunshine for the past week, scalded and rusted most of the cotton crop, and caused many of the immature bolls to open, aud thereby greatly decreased the yield. From reports received from cor respondents and from other reliaole in formation the last report of 25 per cent decrease is fully sustained, and at several p aces the decrease in the production ia placed at a much higher estimate. THE WHOLE FAMILY DEAD. A Result of a Disastrous Chic ago Fire. Fire broke out early Saturday morning iu the three-story brick building at 549 555 Sedewick street Chicago, the upper stories of which were occupied by a num ber of families as living apartments.
