The failures throughout the United
States for the week we're 1877, the smallest
number since the year commenced. The
movement of merchandise throughout the
country during the week was somewhat heav-
Ter, although not so large as at the corre-
spending period one year ago. At various
cities as reported TO Brddstreet's, there was
| an improvement in trade. This was notlcea-
BILE ct Cleveland, st. Paul. St Louis, Kansas
City, and Philadelphia, although at none Of
them was the volume said to be as heavy as
in the like week of 1884. At Boston the dis
tribution of goods to the West is gradually
improving, but at New York the record
was only equal to that of preceding weeks.
| The industrial situation is complicated by the
efforts making to form an organized re-
slstance to the depression in the current rate
of wages paid TO anthracite coal miners in
Eastern Pennsylvania Tho total number OF
manufacturing and mining employees who
are actively demanding higher rates of wages
is nearly IL not quite as large as at any time
within two years before or since the strike
of the Gould railway employees. The iron
market is quite as dun as heretofore.
