Dun & Co.'s woekly review of trade says: The week has been rich in promise but poor In production. 1t was promised that exports of gold would tease, but they have not. It prom that the end of the ¢ strike would bring im- mediate recovery of industr but a partial resumption of work discloses comparatively scant Increase of demand productions. Operations in wheat advan the price 1% sents, though western were only 1,381,510 bushels, against last year. Corn advanced, but again receded, with small exports and fairly large reeeipts. Cot- ton declined a sixteenth, but recovered.

Tarift Uncertainty and U rond Reports-Caus Dull Trading. NEW YORK, June 22.—Bradstreet’s finan- al review tomorrow will say: While specu- lative Interests have settled down to the bellef of the passage of the tariff bill by the senate, there Is uncertainty as to the ge of the bill by the holse. The stock exhibits further hesitation and trad been lingly dull and profes- character. Speculation has been t such a limit fn the number of « fluctuations have little real sig- though prices have displayed a tendency is is due partly to the appearance of the Atchison reorganiza- tion plan, which, involving as it does a heavy assessment of $12 per share, caused liquida- tion in all the bankrupt stocks. The meeting of New York bankers to con sider the position of the treasury and the possibility of checking the further depleti of its already sunken gold reserve had an unfavorable influence on speculation. While it is recognized that the willingness of some of the banks to part with gold for export or to join in reimbursing the treasury for part of the specie which is being taken from its vaults is a beneficial movement, yet the matter has drawn attention to the situation of the treasury and seems to increase the unwillingness of Europe to touch American securitics at present. The settlement of thet coal ‘strike and the resumption of work in most of the districts seems to have fallen flat, and rallroad earnin continue to exhibit a vory discouraging state of traffic, while reduction of dividends, like that of the Fitchburg road, which cut its semi-annual dividend down from 2 to 1, have also an un- ttling influenc sl T ANew Kind of Insurance.

Willlams lives with his wife and granddaughter, and tills the soil of his leased acres for a liveli- hood. Wlen the storm came on he was on his way to the barn, but before he reached there the wind picked up an outhouse from its foundation and hurled it against him, throwing him against the wheel of a gon and jamming him between the spokes in such a manner that he had to stay there until extricated after the blow was over. His granddaughter was about to enter the honse, when she saw it move from its moor- ings, and throwing herseif flat on the ground the building passed over her and she es- caped Injury. Mrs. Williams was in the house, and was unable to get out when the frail structure was whirled into the air. It collapsed in the twisting air currents, and was totally destroyed. Mrs. Williams was found later in a dazed condition on a part of the roof on the Slevers' farm several hundred feet away, pinned down by a large trunk. She was very badly bruised, and her clothing was torn to shreds. The house and barn were reduced to kindling wood, and their contents were torn to pleces and scattered all over the surrounding country. A team of mules in the barn were uninjured, the structure being carried away and leaving the animals standing where they were on the dirt floor. This loss leaves Mr. Williams almost destitute, nothing being left but his mules. Mrs. Williams was taken to the Sfevers residence, where she is being cared for. Iriends of Mr. Willlams are soliciting help for him. —_——— $10.75 to Pueblo and return via the Union Pacific, June 24th and 25th. See P, Deuel, C.

CAMPBELL IS OPPOSED. Does Not Want Democratic i Hurried Up, A. 8. Campbell of Hastings, ex-steward of the asylum there and a member of the demo- cratic state central committee, came in yes- terday from Lincoln. He will enter upon the discharge of the duties of register of the land office at McCook July 1, having just been appointed to that position. He has been at Lincoln the past few days, familiar- ing himself with the requirements of the land office, serving a short apprenticeship under Mr. Ferguson. As an attache of the administration wing of the party, it is un- necessary to state that Mr. Campbell views with profound disfavor the action of the free coinage silyer democrats Thursday, and he remarked that so far as it lay in his power as a member of the state committee he would discourage and oppose the proposition to hold the state convention in advance of the populists. “We have always held off until after the populists have had their conven- tion, and there Is no nced of making a change In that respect,” he declared. ‘They have postponed their convention once, and they may do so again. For my part, T am not in favor of calling our convention till they get through. If they want to p up Mr. Bryan, all well and good, but there is no reason why we should hustle around and hold our convention sooner than would other- wise be the case, just for the sake of giving them a cue.” State Conven- — CHEAPEST RATE EVER MADE.

Turn out and see the Nebraska colt: PLATAE CANAL OMAHA, June 22.—To the Bee: In a commanication to The Bee Mr Utt of the Commercial club discusses the question as to the nature of the factories that will be attracted here by the cheap power, supposed to be furnished by the proposed Platte river canal. His urgument on the assertions that the ma- labor and market for certain in- dustries are here, and that all that s needed 18 to furnish cheap power and tne industries will come. Yet, with two ex- ceptions, he fails to cite an industry in which the item of power would bé of sufli clent importance to draw a single dollar of clean, sound, experienced capital. =~ As another ‘gentiemian has pointed out, there are a lot of fake ndustries on wheels that ar Iways keeping & weather oye on bonuses. A horde of these may be ex pected to fall over each other in desperate efforts to locate here- and move on to the t town e ut to return to Mr. Utt's list. The weipal industries quoted are (1) glucose ) beet sugar, (1) flouring, oatmeal and cereal products: (1) meat paoking, (5) paper, @) agricultural implements, () hides and sking tanned, () boots and shoes, (9) cot- cloth and other textiles. t us discuss these separately (1) Gl I hardly think that Mr. Utt meant glucose factory employing 1,000 W-hotse power Lo this s a fact, and @ 20,000-horse power would vevelop 1 1,000 hands, 1 ing_a_ possil our population of 20,000 inhebitants, which would hardly be worth all_the risk entailed in a $1,000,00 bonus and a §3,00, al and power pl I believe that Mr. Utt will grant most of the steam generated in that tery of boilers of 5,000-horse power’ would be used in the varlous factory processes and not for the purnose of generating power. Coal being a necessity to generate steam, what especial advantige conld we present with our canal over those com- munities where coal is cheaper? @ 1 This may be at striken from list. No sugar factory would use power from the canal. 1ar factories use t cuantities of steam in their aind find the additional cost of steam engines so slight that they ntertain the i introducin rm of motor. @) Flouring, 1 and Other Cereal ducts—We have here a class of indus- tries that employ but little labor. Accord- ing to the tenth census a flouring mill ploying ands would require 19.550-horse power to operate it, or nearly all that the canal could furnish. The attendant cooper shops would employ about 700 more. at is, if all the canal power were to be used 'in these industries employment would be given to not to exceed 2,20 hands an_ increase in population of Shall we give a bonus of $1,000,000 'and take all the risks of failure for 5o slight an advantage? () Meat Products—It is idle to advocate the construction of w canal to assist in building up the packing industry. The expansion of that industry is limited by only two factors, capital and demand. Let the demand inc and the capital will appear. Cheap, power never worries the brain of the packer. ) Paper—As rds this industry the tenth census shows us that b.07 horse power was used in 189 per each hand employe The use of 20,00-horse power would em- ploy but 4,000 hands, representing an in- crease in population of about 20,000 iu- habitants, ~ Again, the risk and cost s disproportionate to the gain () As regapds agricultural implements, Mr. Utt abandons his own case when he shows that the Walter A. Wood company established thpmselves in’ St. Paul, where steam power s but little less if not actu- ally greater than in Omaha. This concern selected St. Paul for the probable reason t it combimed the timber resources of north with w large market. (M Hides and Skins (tanning)—Tanneries locate themselves near the supply of tan Dbark, and will continue to do so until a substitute is discovered for that material All discussion of suggested substitutes is at present mere-spaculation, %) Boots and Shoes—The power used In these factories per employe is so small—in 1880 1t Wwits one-tenth Of 1-horse power—i to cut practically no figure in the operation of the factory. If boot and shoe factorles can be made a suc he will come and ask no questions about power. (9 Cotton and other Textile Industrie Mr. Utt says that because there are cot- ton factories “at Amsterdam and Cohoes on the Mohawk it would seem that pow controls their loeation; certainly it is not crude material, labor or market.” Now, Mr. Edward Atkinson—whom I shall quoté again today, because he was supposed to be sufficiently familiar with the cotton in- dustry to be entrusted with the prepara- tion of the special census report on cotton manufactures by the tenth census—seems to differ with Mr. Utt on this point, he said then: “At the present time (January 1, 1883) another change is in progress. The use of water power is becoming less, its develgp- ment for the purposes of sale having neYer proved profitable. The power thus de- veloped has been a valuable auxiliary in the working of the factory,but as a matrer of investment the: development of land und water power together have almost without exception failled to be profitable, The great progress in the construction’ of tne steam engine and in the economy of fuel Is steadily working toward a change to steam as the principal motive power for the cotton factory.

Mr. Atkfnson has shown how these conditions have changed and what the effect has been, and e in the cleven years that have passed since his report was written the advance of the steam engine has been marked. All of the above facts may be generalized In_one statement—and our citizens should consider this statement well before pinning their faith to the Platte canal project - there are but three important groups of manufacturing industries that could be car- ried on at this point, in which the item of power is of sufficient Importance to deter- mine the question of location. These are: L Flouring and cereal products, Paper 3. Sugar, mol It has been shown that the industries of the last group require steam in their arious processes in such large quantities as to be independent of any other form of power.
