THE CONDITION OF TRADE. SaMen Demand for Iron Doe to the Wood Disasters. ; B. G. DCK A Co.'S weekly review of trade stye; . 1 The flood disasters have entirely change,1 the Situation in the Eastern lumber trade, the coal, Iran and steel trade*. Producing companies of the fltat importance have suddenly ceased op- v. - •' eretioas, and their orders must be filled by i or delayed. The flood-ng of many coal mines cuts oli supplies of fuel for many mano- Xaetoiing •works. and tha stoppage of ihe Cam­ bria mills and furnaces, which produced yearly over 300,003 tons of iron in various forms, will affect the trade for some time. The destruction *if more than forty bridges, about half ot them . .. tin the Pennsylvania hailroad, besides many locomotives, ears and miles of track, creates a • sudden demand which is felt in all iron and V Steel markets. Pig iron does not change as yet, the production previous to the disaster having been much in excels of consumption. In anthracite coal the tone is stronger. Many soft eoal mines are cut off for the present. Wheat | and oil have been lower, but in other specu- lative markets the general tendency has been toward higher prices. Coff.e is a quarter \ «t«niger. Sugar has been advanced a quarter, S,: W>d the statistical position is considered strong. Home grades of leather are a little stronger.

All vis­ itors and friends are denied admission to his residence and his oondition is said to be d&ngerous in the extreme. AT the Coroner's inquest on the body of Dr. €ronin, murdered at Chicago, Byron L. Smith, receiver of the defunct Traders' Bank of Chicago, was present to explain Alexander Sullivan's b^iik ac­ counts in 1882. He-came into the court­ room with three ponderous ledgers and a package of checks. He read several checks which had been drawn by Alexan­ der Sullivan, as agent, and cashed by the bsnk in 1882; the total amount of thess «aec«B signed by Alexander Bnimaa as agent, and payable to T, J. Lester A Co., the brokers, was $90,000. It was made evident from these proofs that this large amount had been invested by Mr. Sullivan on 'Change. Mr. Smith then proceeded to show that John Monroe 5fc Co., hankers, New York city, had turned over to "Windes £ Co.," which in this instance means Alexander Sullivan, Clan-na-Gael funds to the amount of $100,000. In one of the ledgers extracts were read from Mr. Sullivan's personal account, showing thnt from this he had drawn a check for «10,000. dated Sept. 6, 1882, in favor of T. J. Lester & Co., making the outgo on aeoount of Board of Trade speculations an even $100,000. The State's Attorney says .he will prove that at least this amount of Clan-na-Gael tends was misappropriated by Sullivan. THE business portion of Seattle, the largest city in Washington Territory, is in ashes. Every bank, hotel, place of amusement, all the leading business houses, all the newspaper offices, the rail­ road depots, miles of steamboat wharves, the coal bunkers, the freight warehouses, and the telegraph offioes are burned. The fire began near the comer of Front and Pearl streets in the Seattle candy factory building, and consumed the wholS of the business section of the city northward to Stetson andPostmill along Front and Second to the water front, involv­ ing a loss of over $5,000,000. The city is litemlly wiped out except the resi- de'nce portion" on high ground. A stiff breeze was blowing from the northwest when the fire began, and it soon got the be6t of the fire department. The water supply gave out within two hours after the fire began and then the flames had a clean sweep. The ocean steamers Mex­ ico, for San Francisco, and Ancon, for Alaska, escaped'destruction by pulling out into the harbor. A great deal of property was saved, only to be burned up again, so quickly did the liames spread. THE National Convention of Nursery­ man has been held in Chicago.

Wheat an Uncertain Quantity--lti Winter Wh^at Situation. f'V< THE Chicago Tribune's review of tha crop situation nuns up the outlook iathia way: There cannot he istieh said either one way or - the other about the spring wheat crop more than this; that so far the country has not re­ ceived any intelligence of "a 90,000,003" crop, • which is generally looked for just after the wheat is <itd and before it shows a. single •pear out of the ground. As to winter wheat, everything depends now on the weather of the next thirty days. The prospects are point* lag to a wet harvest. Drouth and Hessian fly are not showing tiieir work early in the Baa- ; son. Harvest w ill be no earlier than usual, and perhaps a little later. It will not be general aaoch before the 20th of June. An excellent eland of corn has been cultivated once. Fields that are clean need no more rain for twenty days at least, and upon the advent of warm ; weather ought to make rapid growth. 1%elow price of com is causing farmers to hold haek their surplus.

At the Fourth ward schoolhouse over one hundred victims have been laid out for identification. In many cases tbey have been recognized, while in many mo e the tabs bear the simple word "unknown."

The cool weather and excess of rain were generally unfavorable for growing crops in the States north of the Ohio Kiver. In the Northwest the cool weather and frosts caused some injury to crops, but in Dakota, Minnesota, and Nebraska the general conditions were favorable for wheat and corn, excepting possibly the cooi weather which has re­ tarded the growth of corn. In Missouri, Illinois, and Kansas excessive rains and frosts me reported as having been in­ jurious to the corn crop. In Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Texas, the crop condit OUB weie doubtless improved by tbe rains, but cool weather was unfavora­ ble and some-slight dam Re occurred from frosts ou tbe low lands.

It is estimated that 12,000 citi­ zens of Johnstown and its immediate vicin­ ity perished. The towns of Sotifh Fork, Mineral Point, Conemaugh, Woodvale, Cambria City, and other places, having from one to two thous­ and inhabitants, were completely devastated, and hundreds of their citizens carried down by the tor ent to be tossed lifeless upon the banks and partly buried in debris. Such fearful destruction as was occasioned within the thirty miles from the dam to tbe town of New Florence has never before been recorde 1. The stone bridge of the Pennsylvania railroad com­ pany just below Johnstown withstood the tremendous food, and against its piers was thrown a mass of wreckage, to which per­ haps a thousand human beings were cling­ ing tenaciously for life. Portions of ho:ise after house were added to this drift, which became an immense dam. Even bridges, freight cars, and locomotives wt rj lo ged there. Then to the borror of the Hood was added tbat of fire, which was communicated to the debris from a stove, and many who had hoped for succor from the waters were burned to death The magnitude of the catastrophe can not now be approximately stated. The devastation in the entire region is so com­ plete as to prevent access to the desolate and heartbroken survivors and tne prop­ erty loss is incalculable. Watchers line the river banks recovering bodies. Vil­ lages below Johnstown have become char- nel houses, all points announcing numbers of dead left by the receding waters. Several trains on t e Pennsylvania rail­ road were overtaken by the rising waters and some passengers, stranger* to the locality, lost their lives in the ex­ citement which prevailed. In Johnstown and neighboring places whole families were swept away together. The scene of utter desolation th«j deeds of heroism, and the lamentation of those unable lo learn tidings of loved ones make a pathetic story, but it is marred by the deplorable fact that ghouls who escaped the flood robbed the dead bodies of valuables. Some corpses were taken from the river near here and others ,at long distances from tbe .point where the disaster occur­ red. CHICAGO. ..S 4.25 3.50 2.50 4.0J 3.50 Pittsburg Press has published a Mvised and carefully corrected list con­ taining over 2,000 names of persons known to have been killed in the Johns- t®wn disaster. Yet this is not believed to be more than one-fourth of those lost. The work of identification grows more difficult daily, so that it seems quite prob­ able that not one-half of the whole num­ ber will ever be known. To make out a correct Jist is impossible.

Every hour brings fresh evi­ dence of the fact that the disaster eclipses anything of the kind in tbe history of the country, and no one can sty what the final result will be. It is now known that two passenger trains, two sections of tlfe day express, on tbe Pennsylvania railroad, have been thi own into the maddened torrent and the passengers drowned. These trains were held at Johnstown from Friday at 11 a. m., and were lying on a siding between Johnstown and Conemaugh station. The awful torrent came down tie nar­ row defile between t,;e mountains, a die<- tance of nine miles, with a fall of 800 feet in that distance, sweeping away tv e villages of Sout. Fork, Mineral Point, Woodvale, and Con?maugh, leaving but one building standing, a woolen mill, where but an hour before had stood hundreds, and dashing on with tbe rear of a cataract and the speed of the wind, upon tbe fair city at the foot­ hills. It is im possible to describe the appear­ ance of Main street. Whole houres have been swept down this one street and be­ come lo iged. The wreck is piled as high as the B<< ond-story windows.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa., June 3. -- When Super­ intendent Pitcairu telegraphed to Pitts­ burg on tbe night of tbe flood that Johns­ town was annihilated he came very near to tbe facts of the case, although be hud not m the ill-fated city. To say that Johns­ town is a wreck is but stating the facts of tbe case. Nothing like it wa<> eve*- te m in this country. Where long rows of duel­ ling houses and business blocks stexd forty-eight hours ago r„in and desolation now lei.n supreme. Frobubly fifteen hundred bouses have been swept from the face of the earth as completely a* if they bad never been erected. Mailt street from end to end is piled fifteen and twenty feet nigh with debris, and in some instances it is As high as the roofs of tbe houses. This great mass of w eckage fills the street fromcuibto curb, and f equently has crushed in the fronts cf buildings and filled the space with i eminde s of the te *i ible calamity. The:e is p obably not a man in tbe place who can give any reliable es­ timate of the number of houses that have been swept away. City Solicitor Kuhn, who should be very good authority in this matter, places the matte at 1,5'>J. Fiom the wooden mi l above tha island to the bridge, a distan e of pj obably two miles, a strip of territory nearly a half mile in width has been swept clean, not a stick of timber o - one brick on topof another being left to tell th i 8to r. It is tbe most complete wreck that the imagination can portray. All day long men, women and children were plodding about tbe desolate waste t ying in vain to locate the boundaries of their former homes. Nothing but a wide expanse of mud, ornamented here and the e with heaps of driftwood, remained for their con­ templation. It is perfe tiy safe to say that every house in the city that was not located Well up on the hillside was either swept completely away or wiecked so badly that rebuilding will be absolutely necessary. These losses, however, were as nothing compared to the frightful sacrifice of human lives to be seen on every hand. The loss of life is simply dieadful. The most conservative people declare that the number will reach 5,000. The streets are full of men carrying bodies to various places, where they await identification, and the work has only just begun. Every hour or so the forces bf men working on tine various heaps of debris find numbers of bodies busied in the 'mud and wreckage.

A Johnstown, Pa., dispatch says: The way of the transgressor hi the desolated valley of the Conemaugh is hard. Each hour reveals some new and horribl* story of suffering and outrage and every suc­ ceeding l.our bring-; news of swift and merited punishment meted out to the fiends who have dared to desecrate the mangled corpses in t ie city of the dead and torture the already half t raced victims of t.i is awful catastrophe. As t e roads to t' e lands round about are opened tales of nl nost indescribable bor­ ror come to light and deeds ot the vilest oature perpetrated in the darkness of nignt are broug .t to light. Jmt as the shadows began to fall upon the ea th last evening a pat ty of thirteen Hungarians were noticed stealthily pick­ ing their way along the banks of the Cone­ maugh toward £ang Hollow. Suspicious of their purpose several farmers a'tried themselves and started in purs-it. Soon their most horrible feers were realized. Lying upon tbe shore they came upon the mangled body of a woman upon whosa person were a number of trinkets of jew­ elry f»|M? two rfinmoRd rincrs. In their eageuiesK iu secure trie plunder one of thei*- number severed the finger upon which were the rings and sta ted on a run with his featful price. The levolting nature of the deed so wrought up tbe pursuing farraeis that tbey gave immediate chase, Some of the Hun­ garians showed fight, but, being outnum­ bered, were compelled to flee for their lives. Sine of the brutes escaped, but four were literally driven into the surging river and to their death. The inhuman mon­ aster whose atrocious act has been described fwas among the number of the involuntary ^suidides. > At 8:80 o'clock this morning an old ^railroader who had Walked from Sang | Hollow stepped up to a number of men -congregated on the station platform at Cuiranville and said: I "Gentlemen, had I a shotgun with me half an hour ago I would have shot to kill. Two miles below here I watched three men going along the banks stealing the jewels from the bodies of the dead wives and daughters of men who have been robbed of all they held dear on earth." He had no sooner fin'shed tbe last sentence than five stalwart men, with looks of terrible determination written on their faces, were on their way to the scene of the plunder, one with a, coil of rope over his shoulder and another with a re­ volver in his hand. In twenty minutes, it is said, they overtaken two of their victims who were then in the act of cutting pieces from tae ears and fingers of two dead women. With revolver leveled at the scoundrels the , leader of the posse shouted: "Throw up your hands or I'll blow your heads off." They obeyed the order and begged for mercy. Their pockets were searched and the indignation of the crowd was intensi­ fied when a bloody finger of an infant, en­ circled with two tiny gold rings, was found among the plunder in the leader's pocket A cry went up: "Lynch them! Lynch them!" Without a moment's delay ropes were th own around tbeir necks and tbey were dangling to the limbs of a tree, in the branches of which an hoar before was en­ tangled the bodies of a dead father and son. It is hinted that an Allegheny county official. was one of the most prominent actors in this tragedy. The pillaging of the houses in Johns­ town is something awful to contemplate and describe Men a e carrying shotguns and revolvers and woe betide tbe strange - who looks even suspiciously at any arti­ cle. A supply stem has been established in the Fouith ward in Johns.own. A line of men, women and children, extending for a square, waited patiently to have their wants supplied. The sencol house has been converted into a morgue and the dead are being buried from this place. A hospital has been opened near by and is full of patients. A prominent member of the Johnstown safety committee said to-day: "For God's sake tell them at Pittsburg to stop the rush of sight-seers, There is enough here to last for weeks and the mor­ bid curiosity of these people can just as well be gratified later as now. The crowd of curious greatly embarrasses us. The authorities must stop it." Adjt.-Gen. Hastings, N. G. P., and Major Sanger have assumed entire charge of Johnstown. One effect of this system­ atic work is making itself felt. One town is guardevd by a company of tbe 'Sixth regiment, Lieut. Leggett in command. New members were sworn in by him and tbey are making excellent soldiers. Special police ate nume ous and the regulations ate so st ict that even the smoking of cigars is prohibited. Gen. Hastings ex pi esses the opinion that more troops are necessary. Alexander Hart is in charge of the special police. He has lost his wife and family. Notwithstanding this great mis­ fortune be is doing the work of a Hercules te his own way. * Miami to realise vrhiil.' had.SitotieneA 1 **Tk» amtnotpr of my t At the a. mm *• 1 ill fa Jnjr SMB ~ wwmmBJmm . wpqK/ Houses were spfctttikg through ' bridge, and I dfcl not kwi»?§* what moment the structure would give fray kept tagging at tip? ktlt-rope and the train Shot ahead, agaiiji Wa seemed to fairly leap over the yellow torrents.

"I can uot see how it is possible far lei* than 5,000 lives to have been sacrificed Johnstown alone. At least two-thirds of the town was swept away. The water came so quickly that escape from the low- district was impossible. People retreated* to the upper floors of their residences until the water had got too deep to allow their escape.

Further up-town a raft or logs lodged in the street and' did great damage. The best description that can be given of the general appearance of the wreck is to imagine a number of children's blocks placed closely together aqd then draw you - hand through them in almost every dl ection. At the commencement of the wreckage, which is at the opening of the Conemaugh, one can look up the valley for miles and not see a house. Nothing stands but an old woolen mill. Chas.

He said he heard a grinding noise far up the valley, and looking up he coald see a dark line moving slowly to­ wards him. He saw it was houses.

The ruins of houses, outbuildings and other structures swept against the new railroad bridge at Johns­ town and from an overturned stove or some such cause the upp r part of the wreckage caught fire. There were crowds of men, women and children on the wreck, and their crtes were soon added to the aw­ ful chorus of horror. They were literally roasted in the Hood. Soon after the flre -burned itself out, others were thrown against t ie mass.

Graphic Description of the Detraction of Johnstown by the Flood. George Johnston, of Pittsburg, thus de­ scribes tbe coming of the flood: "1 had gone to Johnstown/' said Mr. Johnston, "to place a cou pla of orders. I bad scarcely reached the town, about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when i saw a bulletin posted up in front of the telegraph office, &i ound which quite a crowd of men had congregated. "I pushed my way up and read that the waters were so high in the Conemaugh that it was feared 'the three-mile dam,' as it was called, would give way. I knew enough about Johnstown to feel that my life was not worth a snap once that dam gave way. "Although the Johnstown people did not seem to pay much attention to the warning 1 was apprehensive, and so I hurried through with my most urgent transactions and started for the depot. "The Conemaugh had then got so high that the residents of the low-lying districts had moved into the upper stories. A few families had started tor the surrounding hills. "I was just walking up the steijs to the depot when I heard a fea ful roar up the valley. It seemed at first like a heavy train of cars, but soon became too loud and ten ible for that. "I boarded a train, and as I sat at the car window a sight broke before my view that I will remember to my dying day. "A^way up the Conemaugh came a yel­ low wave whose crest was white and frothy. Ten ified as I was I remember leeling that I was in the safest place and I sank back in a seat. L "When I looked out again what had been the busy mill yards of the Cambria Iron company was a yellow, turbulent sea, on whose churned current houses and barns were riding like ships in a brook. "The water rushing upon tbe molten metal in the mills had caused deafening explosions which, coupled with tho roar and grinding of tbe flood, made a terrify­ ing din. '• "Turning to tte other side and looking on down the valley 1 saw the muddy water rushing t .rough t e main streets of .the town. I could see men and horses floun­ dering about almost within call. "House-top-i were being filled with white-faced people, who clung to each other and looked terror-stricken upon tha rieiag flood. It had all oome so quickly DESTRUCTION IN MAKYLANDw Kaormoas Damage at Baltimore Other Po nt« by ik« Floods. < BALTIMORE, Md., June 8» --Maryladd suffered severely from the storm's ravages. More than $1,000,000 worth of property has been destroyed and over a half-dozen lives lost. Along the line of the Potomae the damage was greatest atvl the Chesa­ peake & Ohio canal is probably damaged beyond repair. - In western Maryland the Monacacy rivsr overflowed its banks and destroyed a vast amount of property. In Frederick tho people did n«t go to bed all night and the bells were ringing, summoning help to the flooded districts That city is almost completely isolated from the rest of the world, communication being cut off. One telephone wire Is working. During the night an electric- light wire fell across the Western Union telegraph wires, sending a current of fire into the office of the telegraph company that bu' nt out the switch-board and nearly caused the destruction of the First National bank building by fire. At Taney town, about seventeen milffM from Fi ederick, Mrs. Charles McFaddeto and Miss Maggie Moore we e drowned. They were in a carriage attempting to ford a stream when the vehicle was washed, away. The driver managed to escape. At Harmony Grove, near Frederick^ Miss Carrie Kefauver was to have beeiau married to J. Harry St rices of Emmets- burg, Md., but the wedding did not take place. The groom could not reach tha house of his intended because of the high water. At Point, of Rocks, sixteen miles from the city, tbe flood has caused a scene of desolation. The turnpike juid railroad companies will lose heavily. Nearly ail of the wooden bridges over the Patapsoo have been carried away and the cotton mills in the vicinity of Ellicott City and Laurel were inundated^ warping the ma­ chinery and completely destroying th* fabrics. No part of Washington county escaped. All the streams became raging torrents, and property near them were either iti;xn- dated«or entirely swept away. No est&aatft Can be made o* t e damage done* but tt will reach hundreds of thousands. The railroads entering Hagerstown hav* also sustained great damage, and on sev­ eral of t ern no trains arrived to- day. Tt* greatest loser is the Cumberland Valley. Its new iron bridge across tbe Potomao river went down. Nothing is left of the structure except the span across the canal. The original cost of the bridge was $70,000. At and in the vicinity of Williams port, where tbe Conococheague empties into tha Potomac, the loss is very heavy. Many warehouses are under water and their losses will be great. One-half of Dephone's chair factory and paint shop were swe£t away, causing a loss of $3,000. Soon softer the factory gave way Theo­ dore Wolfe, aged 18, son of Louis R. Wolfe, and Samuel Corbett, both of Will- iamsport, started in a boat to recover sev­ eral chairs. While engaged iu doing so young Wolfe fell into the river and was drowned. The houses of William Bouzhoff and A. Ensinger, a short distance above Williamsport, were both washed away. Two miles below Williamsport several houses were swept away, one belonging to Patrick Collins and another the property of the canal company. At Falling Waters several houses have also been destroyed. On the Conoco- cheaguo Ardinger's mill is almost entirely under water and at Kemps the flood filled two stories of the mill and swept away the house of Martin Be!L 'ku FROM CAMBKIA CltT. 0*1* a Doien House* Left In the lug Pennsylvania Town.

No estimate can be formed of the amount of damage, but the probable loss of life is terrible. There are at present fifty lives known tu have been sacrificed, and hun­ dreds of peoplo are bo-.neless. The cold, raw weather is particularly severe on those who are without shelter, and no means of relief are at hand, as the trains cannot reach here from either west or east Everything possible is beta? done for tha. sufferers. Communication with the outer world has beau cu: off, aud only temporary accommodat on can be had. Some place the damage to property at froui $12,000,000 to $15,000,000, but ut*H| the excitement calms down it is impossible to form any correct estimate. fiifh Life in New York, Within a year a merchant worffi millions died, and five "widows'* claim his estate.
