COMMERCE AND CROPS.

| Facts and Figures From Bradstreets Re-
view of the Condition of Trade and Crops
Through Out the Country.
| NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-Special kilograms
| to BradstreeA this week do not indicate
| any gain in the distribution of general
merchandise. The moderate volume of
+ sales reported for several weeks past is
noted with continued widespread conf
dence in greater activity and larger prof .
it's during the coming autumn. The
earnings for 35 railways for July aggre-
gate Sl7,090,131 in 1856, against Sl4,-
$50, 7O6 for 81 roads in 1885. The gain
for seven months this year is So, 722 ,447
against 1885.
! The total of bank clearings at 90 cities
for the week is S84G, 429, l02, against
S747, $780, 7S last week. There has been
noticeable hardening of interest rates
at financial centres, owing to the in
creased demand from wool, lumber and
clothing dealers, as well as to advance
on grain shipments.
The more significant industrial feature
of the work is found IN the improved de-
mand for finished iron at Pittsburgh.
Special advices are that makers are more
sanguine than for two years past; prices
are unchanged, but the mills are pushed
to meet requirements. Like reports
come from Philadelphia and St. Louis.
Dry goods sales are fairly well sus-
tanned, the aggregate being in excess of
last year.
There is less doing in raw woods, but
the market favors holders. Prices de-
pend on the results of the opening of
lightweight fabrics, which are not fully
known. There has evidently not been so
general an advance as expected, though
late London and Antwerp sales have been
at full figures.
Later advices from the spring wheat
crop are more favorable than previously
anticipated. Heavy receipts continue to
depress prices. Damage to corn from
drouth is also less than was recently re-
ported, the probable yield being nearly
1000, 200, 900 bushels, against 1910, 000,-
900 bushels last year.
There has been slight damage to the
cotton crop from shedding. The plant
has improved in the Carolinas, Georgia
and Alabama. Hot weather has threat
ened Central and Western Texas.
The Louisiana rice crop promises to be
heavy. The weather of late has been un-
favorable to the growth of cane in that
State. The price Of sugar has gone to
the lowest point on record, with light
demand and heavy probable supply.
The tea market is demoralZed under
large visible supplies and heavy Eastern
expectations.

with sharp horseshoe curves and heavy
GRADES. The trial proved satisfactory
and was pronounced by the president of
the board to be wonderful. One mile of
track will be built and operated in Cam

souGht to introduce the system in Bos-
ton. Only a single rail is used. If it
nroyes success ON large scale it is

A Mexican Menace.

LAREDO, Tex, Aug. s.-A detachment
OF 400 Mexican troops arrived in Nuevo
Laredo, Mexico, Friday night. They are
principally infantry and artillery and
brought two cannon with them. They
have placed the cannon so as to com.
mand Fort Mcintosh on the Texas side
of the Rio Grande, and have been noticed
taking observations from their position
all day. Considerable Indignation is ex-
pressed by Americans at the arrival of
these troops, and this action by Mexico
does not augur well for a peaceful solu-
ton of the present difficulty.
