Nkw York, Sept. 7.-R. O. Don A
Co., in their weekly review of trade,
issued to-day, say:
There is no real reaction in business.
( ains which were recognized as tem-
porary are vanishing, but there re-
mains a decided increase over last year
at date, although prices average
percent, lower than a year ago. It
needs no keen observer to see that the
reaction against the rapid advance of
prices is strong. Cotton is strong,
but has paused. The general ten-
dency to curtail purchases where
prices have notably advanced grows
clearer in boots and shoes, wool aud
in some products of iron.
Imports are large, but it is stated
that Bradford manufacturers find it
hard to get labor enough to fill their
orders, so that delay may cancel many
contracts, as inferior quality has can-
celled some already.
The brightest feature in all the
horizon is the certainty that the crop
of corn will be enormous. Frosts now
can only affect a small fraction, and
the surplus will go Into the manufac-
ture of meats, because at 85.7 cents at
New York, nearly 4 cents lower than
a week ago, there is no other profit-
able use for corn. One farm product
Which has been strong bccause cer-
tainly short in yield, rose from 8 10
cents for spot cotton last week
to 8.25 on Tuesday, but has since
been weak iu spite of con-
ccrted ofllcial statements that the
decrease Is 33 per cent. In some states
and 27 per cent, in Texas. The public
observes much skilled lalnir in those
reports and also sees what many spec-
ulators refuse to see, the 3,000,000 bales
old American brought over. It is
earnestly hoped thatsouthern agricul-
ture has not sustained so great a
calamity. The annual reports, show-
ing a larger yield last yeor than has
been supposed, only indicate that more
cotton must remain In the country be-
side the unconsumed stocks abroad
A quiet market without much change
n prices for a time would be a bless-
ing to tin? south.
The railroads have gained .3 of one
cent In earnings over last year for Au-
gust, the last week doing better,
though the tonnage east-bound from
Chicago was 7 per cent, smaller for the
month than in is!i2, and tho earnings
of all roads were 14.3 per cent, smaller.
rhe demand for commercial nnd
manufacturing loans and for tlie west
is somewhat larger, but the money
market is still eat.y.
I'allures in four weeks of August
show liabilities of 88,040,237, of which
88,844.882 were of manufacturing and
84,052,885 of trading concerns, against
810,130,477 last year, in all 88,173,830
manufacturing and 85,077,55.1 tradinir

IIouoiitox, Mich., Sept. 7.—At 12:30
oclock this afternoon fire was discov-
ered by tiinbermen in the thirty-
seventh level of the Osceola copper
mine. 1 he timliennen at onco rushed
tothe shaft and when brought to the
suriace In the big bucket gave the
a arm. Thirty miner* were ut work
at the time, and up to a late hour to-
night but one person had been res-
cued, a pump boy, and he died shortly
after reachiug the open air.

Smoke Is pouring In dense volumes
from the mouth of every shaft in tho
jnlne, and escape through those open-
ings is Impossible. The fire is evi-

flic only hope for the thirty Im-
prisoned men to cffect their escape is
through an old drift which opens nt
about the fifteenth level into the south
Hecla branch of the famous Calumet
and Hecla mine, but that drift was
abandoned years ago. and doubtless is
choked up with decayed timber, llut
it is the only possible avenue of es-
capo, and the hopes of the miners'
friends cling desperately to it
Gathered about the shafts of the Os-
ceola arc the wives, mothers and chil-
dren of the unfortunate men, anx-
iously awaiting further news from
their loved ones. The scenes are very
pathetic, but beyong the doubtful as-
surance that the men may have found
the abandoned Hecla drift, little com-
fort can be extended. Every effort Is
being put forth to rescue the unfor-
tunate men, but hope Is not high

started. Many of these were taken to

surface In the great buckets in a fnint-
g condition. It Is now utterly Im-
possible to quench the fire by the
usual methods and preparations are
lwlng made to close the mouths of tho
shnfts to shut off the air. The side
shaft leading to the thirty-seventh
level IS hermetically sealed, but the
other shafts will not be closed so long
as hope remains. It Is believed it will
take a month to extinguish the flames.

boat defeated Valkyrie III. 8 minute*
4!) seconds in the first of the races for
the America's cup yesterday. Twenty
thousand people on the greatest flo-
tilla that ever assembled off Sandv
Hook witnessed the race, and there
was a scene of hilarious joy when the
Defender crossed the line ' fully two
miles ahead of Lord Dunraven's boat.
I he Joy of the multitude was un-
doubtedly increased by tho fact that
the Valkyrie led the Yankee boat for
the first hour she walked away from
the Defender in u way that led En-
glishmen to fondly hop*, that tl.eirday
had come at last. Wright visions of
the America's cup floated before their
eyes, while the patriotic Americans,
who were packed tier above tier on
the many decked excursion steamers
were very glum.
There was only n live-knot breeze at
the start, and Valkyrie was going
through the wnter faster than the De-
fender in the light air. There was a
umpy sea on, and quite a swell came
In from the oeenn, but the buffeting ol
the waves against the Ilrltisher s bow
did not keep her back. Hhe outpointed
and outfooted the Ilerreshoff boat to
the ainaiement of the great crowd of
spectators. Hut after establishing a
lead of a good quarter of a mile the
wind having freshened, the cup chal-
lenger failed to hold her own and the
i tin lice yacht liegan to gain. When
the crowd saw it there was a general
brightening up, nnd as it became plain
that the product of American brains
was picking up her rival, a cheer went
up ami tug lioat whistles screeched.
As both yachts were beating to wind-
ward, it is impossible to say when the
Defender overhauled the Ilritlsh boats
but it was about 1:95 p. m., when the
boats had covered nearly half of the
fifteen miles of windward work.
Once tho Defender got her gait there
was no catching her, and as the wind
continued to freshen she opened up a
very large gap between Vr stern and
the Im w of Lord Dunraven's boat.
" lien the Defender reached the outer
mark she had an advantage of three
minutes and twenty-seconds. There
was a big demonstration as the Yan-
kee boat made the turn.
The wind having shifted, the ron
home became a broad reach, and It waa
of constnnt gain for the American
boat. Going home the gain was 4
minutes 63 seconds. With the time
allowance of 2Useconds, the Defender's
victory was 8 minutes, 49 seconds. Tlie
wind was ten knots at the linlsh.
Yesterday's race showed that Val-
kyrie III. moved like a ghost in a wind
of less than six knots, and that she
seemed speedier than the Defender in
that wind. It also showed that with a
wind of from eight to ten knots In
both windward work and broad-
reaching the English boat could not
keep tlie pace set by the Defender.
Both yachts were somewhat inter-
fered with by tlie attendant fleet, but
I he patrol yachts kept a fairly clear
course except at the start and finish.

wind and rain storm passed over Eui-
]wiria about 3 o'clock yesterday after-
noon, and did considerable damage, al-
though, as far as can be Icnrued, no

like paper and carried off half a block.
The entire Inside of Albert Taylor

main uninjured. A special meeting of
the normnl hoard of regents has been
called by wire for Tuesday at 5 p. m.

ture store was partially unroofed and

nfced. Basements nnd cellars through-
out the city arc flooded. Four inches

blown down and one woman. Miss
Bessie Henry, Is dangerously Injured.
At Neosho Rnpids, a church, several
dwellings ami a livery stable nre re-
ported destroyed. A Santa Fe bridge,
