Flowing Out of the Country Domestic
Trade Shrinking,
liy the United Press.
New York, Oct. 19. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say; Cotton Is below 6 and wheat
below 55 cents, each lower than ever
since present classifications were
known, with exports of gold instead of
products at such prices-In October, as
the futures In business this week. Dis
tribution of goods to consumers goes
on fairly, with gains at nearly all points
In comparison with last year, but not
yet at a rate to sustain the present
volume of manufacturing productions.
The domestic trade represented by
railroad earnings In October is 3.4 per
cent, less than last year and 13.4 per
cent, less than In 1892.
There has been marked gain In west
bound freight, especially in coal, but
east bound rail shipments from Chicago
are a little stnalller than last year. The
Iron and steel business makes a better
showing this week, bessemer pig hav
ing stiffened to J10.90 at Plttsbuvg, but
bar iron has fallen to 90 cents for com
mon and $1 for steel at Pittsburg, which
are prices below thoee current In Great
Britain.
The failures in October thus far have
been quite moderate In strictly commer
cial lines, the liabilities amounting to
13,81:1.9:17. During the past week the
failures have been 253 In the I'nlted
States, against 311 last year, and 43 in
Canadu, against 29 last year.

upon a section gang about noon, cover
ing them with Winchesters, and forced
them to spread tho rails and flag th
coming train. The engineer and lire-
man were then lined up with the section
gang and guarded while two men en
tered the express car and covered tin

safe containing the money of Texan

bers lied southward. Rewnrds aggre
gating $1,000 haw been offered for their
arrest. The money secured was taken
from the way safe.
The only time the robbers used their
revolvers was when Baggage Master
Almeras became too Inqulstlve. Ho
peered out of his car door to see what
the trouble was, and not being qulok
enough when one of the robbers told
him to take his head In, he had a nar
