THE NEW YORK CLOTHING HOUSE FAHUREs
NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-R. G. Dun & Co, OF the
mercantile agency, report that the marked events
or the past week are chiefly those relating TO the
important ! failures in the clothing trade which
have occurred in New York city. These misfor-
tues can hardly be interpreted as Indicating an
unheaitny state OF trade generally, because they
are all more or less directly traceable to depar-
lures from legitimate business principles, the re-
SUITS OF outside speculation and the attempt to
6oioter Io up credits by the interchange of paper
long after the supposed capital employed had dis
appeared or been diverted into outside channels
Ine regular business OF the city has been healthy
Sales or dry goods have been large, the absorption
OF stocks indicating first rate retail demand
throughout the country. Some large houses report
Iner sales as being very nearly equal to those OF
year ago, While the losses by bad debts aside
from those arising out OF recent failures are re-
markably small Money continues abundant. AL
though commence has been to some extent shaken
by recent failures the general outlook is not un-
favorable. The grain markets have been active
wlthout any wide fuctuation, and OF late there
mas Deen an Increased demand Tor export In
pork and provisions the market has been unset
lied but better feeling prevails, and prices, as
rule, are somewhat higher.
THE BUSINESS FAILURES
or the week, as reported to X. G. Dun & Co. num-
Der $50, as compared with 1SS last week tie fea-
ture being the very important disasters Ia the
New York clothing trade.

POSTMASTER CoNGER 70 BE SUED BY MR.. DAUPHIN.
Messrs. Chandler and Thompson have prepared
the papers to file in suit against Postmaster
Conger to recover money orders addressed to NJ.
A. Dauphin, and withheld by the postmaster un-
der the recent order of the Postmaster General
Mr.. Thompson said to-day that he would file the
papers this evening or Tomorrow. The suit was
simply suit at law to recover orders withheld
1t would test the question, he said, whether the
postmaster had to obey the law or the proclama-
tions OF the Postmaster General. II the postmas-
ter 0nered IN his defense the order OF the POstmas
ter General then the legality OF that order might
come into question. 'This suit" said Mr.. Thomp-
son, ''refers only to money orders. We cannot sue
TO recover registered packages, because We can't
tell what they contain. and the law requires US to
describe the papers. We have money orders, upon
which we Will sue, amounting to $76, and that is
enough to test the question.
