Collections Generally Unsatisfactory. HullisliTriiipcraninnt in tlie Stock Market, out n Itearisli Tendency in Grain It. G. Dun (f C'o.'s Heviciv. The unprecedented interruption of business by Centennial preparations and celebrations has made tbo week nearly a blank .,..- ... .1. a .-.i ?4A, Now York accumulated orders gave a surfaco np|>earance of greateractivity, but It is yet too soon to judge which way the tide will turn, and the reports from other cities, though nearly nil hopeful in tone, do not indicate the expected improvement. The situation seems better at Milwaukee, it is satisfactory at Omaha, good at Cleveland ns to most branches, but questionable ns to iron; rather dull at Kansas City and iSt. Paul, and less encouraging at the chief centres of the grain, iron, coal and leather trades. Collections are "mr from satisfactory" at Milwaukee, not improved at dotroit, and rather slow in groceries, tobacco and wooden ware nt Pnilndelphia, but in other lines there, and at othor cities, generally, they seem fairly satisfactory, and in New York some dry goods dealers complain that collections are "too good"?buyers keep so far within means. Iteports about the wool trade are contradictory. Prices are low, but Philadelphia reports more sales and prospects of advance. A report that the Treasury may not decide the woolen wors:ed question for months disturbs importers, who have quantities of goods locked up Lecauso collectors wait for a decision. Otherwise tho woolen trade shows a little better movement, but mills are not working nt nearly their capacity. Cotton lias udvauced an eighth and print cloths one-sixteenth, and there is a more active jobbing trade, hut in some lines at a reduction in prices, and many mills nre working short time. Silks aie quiet, hut linens are quiteactive. In the leather trade general diseourngeinont is by some thought tho precursor of better things, and a fair business in boots and shoes continues, helped by the recent declines in prices of some grades. Tho paper trade is active, and contracts for delivery in Ktigluud and Australia are reported. Tho slow improvement continues in drugs and chemicles. Coal is dull; tho reported increase in stocks for March is ikbiMM) innu ? ..? ? -* Pittsburg is expected. Copper still waits but the report that bankers will try and nx the price at twolvo cents is.thought to foreshadow another disastrous attempt and subsequent collapse. Tin is lower abroad and *^1 10 for prompt delivery hero, and lead is very imich demoratizjd. Wheat goes lower, it having sold at and corn has declined thrco quarters and oats one cent since last week. Dreams of successful corners prior to July are still cherished, hut all the facts of the present situation make tlie attempt appear hazardous. Pork is tmcbange', with lard ami hogs a shade higher, coffee and sugar are unchanged hut oil au *- \ ,> -< i ? . i, while a quicfc advance might follow' i a revival of demand or speculativeconferene. < Stocks have been neglected and dull but a little stronger 111 price, with a disposition to believe that the next considerable movement must bo upward. Yet, in spite of some excellent reports, the earnings do not generally compare with last year's as well as they did in January or February, to say nothing of March, and the outcome of controversies at the West seems really as doubtful as ever. The future of the market probably depends much upon the movements of money and the feeling of foreign investors, nu.i for the moment both favor holders, tint hankers look upon a considerable outgo of specie as not improbable, and the ,H.>liey of Secretary Windoin, as far as it lins oeeti inado known, docs not seem likely to cause large disbursements before July. The one fatrorablo feature is tint merchandise exports ?ie e?ill large, for four weeks of April at New York exceeding last year's by ?4,.'I'X),000 or IS per cent, the increase in liii|>orts here having been only J per cent, lbit the Treasury has taken in during the week, $l,SU0,00l> more thin it linu naiii nut itn.l tlmra nni mnilV reasons for expecting that the exports of merchandise may presently decline.

CKUSHED TO A PULPY MASS. An Inimcnso Kock Falls on Tlircc Elinors in u Mine. The Hyde Park shaft, near Scranton, Pa., was the scene of a terrible mino aeei lent. Threo nten who w?>ro working several hundred feet below the surface, loading coal from the mine chamber in a car, wore caught under a falling slab of rock 15 feet long, 12 feet wido and about two feet thick, crushing them to death instantly. Tho victims ar>>: Klynn, Michael, miner, fifty years old, married; Katcliford, Patrick, fifty-six years old, tnarrioJ; Kogan, Patrick, single. The men had just fired a heavy blast and < founded the roof, but except a slight hollowness at the fac_? of tit brsast it seemed secure. Their car was nearly filled with coal when the terrible crush came. The roof that they had just conclud d was safe gave way, catching them under it before they b ,d time to ro ilists w hat had happened. Flying pieces of rocky mass struck and slightly injured twootli'r miners who had | heard the report mid were hurrying to tho I scene of the accident.

This is partly true, for in this, A. as in other cases, nature at oneo begins tho and work of eliminating tho poison from the TdX Mrtuw-' '?? cost Moreover, the recuperative force grows weaker and weaker .under repeated potations, . till at last it is lost altogether. There is not only a tendency to numerous diseases which 1 .* are directly caused by the alcoholic poison. . but at the same time the system is rendered 8 susceptible to disease of other sorts.
