Bradstreet's summary of business last Satur-
day is as follows: 'The general trade sit
uation throughout the United States continues
without animation. Wholesale merchants and
jobbers do not report renewed buying, nor has
the very conservative hand to mouth
method of purchasing been more than MAIN
tanned In industrial lines the situation is
rather less encouraging. Iron mills at
the centres of that industry are running
on half time in a number Of instances.
The trade in textiles at Philadelphia and
vicinity is very much depressed, and the
enforced idleness among mill employees in
the Fall River print mills were idle again
last week, throwing out 10000 employees.
And through New England, tho Middle, Cen
trail and Western states, from day to day
word has been received of stoppages of fac
tories and mills and of reduction of wages
from 5 to 10 per cent There is no change
reported as to the Ohio coal lock out. The
general financial situation continues to pre-
sent that apparently favorable feature, an
enormous ex cess of surplus funds at the banks,
which in reality reveals the amount of capital
out of employment and the accompanying fall
ing off in production. Funds are no longer
coming East from the West, and customers of
Western banks have ceased sending for money,

ment of wheat to market. Collections gener-
ally throughout the country are slow noticea-
bly, at the West, and less SO in the Southwest
