Bradstreet's Weekly Review of Trade-Ex-
tent of the Great Strike.
NEW YORK, July 7.-BradStreet's, in its
review Of the week, says: The effect on
general trade of the Fourth of July holl-
day, of the customary diversion of atten-
ton to stock inventories, has been to re-
strict business in many lines. Special tel
egrans to BrddS,reetS note these features
particularly at Boston, New York. Phila-
delphia, Pittsburgh, st. Louis, Kansas
City. ST Joseph, Omaha and Chicago
Louisville and Denver are exceptions,
with reports of improvements and ac-
tivity in the distribution of merchandise.
The crop prospects, as reported at
Omaha, st. Joseph, Louisville and st.
Louis, are all favorable. Like reports
come from Galveston and New Orleans,
with the exception OF cotton in louisiana,
where there has been too much rain The
New York stock market is more active and
higher, and principally on crop reports,
though the influence of the July disburse-
ments and feeling of reaction from the
long continued depression have share IN
the movement. Bonds are strong and in
good demand. Money is easy.
Our investigation into the Analgamated
Iron and Steel Association strike indicate
that the number of men on strike and
rendered idle has been overestimated. The
statement telegraphed from Pittsburgh
that 1O0, 900 men had been rendered idle is
exaggerated. To date seventeen mills have
signed the scale and agreed to pay the old
rate of wages. Four or five other mills are
expected to sign the scale in ten days. The
number of men on strike is about 80, coo.
The reports Of business failures number
149 in the United States this week against
204 last week, and l41 the same week last
year. Canada has 10 this week against
% last week. The total number of fail
ures in the United States from January
TO date is 5 4O1 against 5.243 in 1881

Secretary MOhler Issues Another FAVOR
able Report
TOPEKA, Kan. July Hon. NJ. Mohler,
secretary OF the Kansas State Board OF
Agriculture, issues the following official
circular to-day:
Reports now in from about GOO correspond
ents, representing nearly every county in the
State, clearly indicate that the expectations OF
the early spring, based upon the favorable con-
dtion then, are about TO be realized in our
State the wheat crop being already secured;
also fair oats crop and corn has never been In
more promising condition at this date.
Wheat-The acreage of wheat as shown by
the assessors return already received at this
office, has been overestimated about 15OOt
acres for the State and ten per cent OF the
acreage sown in the fall Of 1887 is reported not
harvested, leaving still the acreage which was
not harvested about 100. 900 acres. OF the acre
age harvested the average yield per acre OF the
State is estimated at seventeen and one halt
bushels, being two and one-half bushels higher
than we estimated it a month ago, indicating
total wheat product for the State OF 17,5OOIooc
bushels.
Corn-Since the weather has become warm
and rain abundant corn has made an unusually
rapid growth, and, with the exception of some
damage by bugs entering from adjacent wheat
fields. the crop is free from insect depreciation
Oats-The oats crop in good many counties
was cut short by chlnch bugs, but generally
throughout the State it is reported good.
Summary-Condition as compared with a full
average crop: Corn, full average, 99.1: oats,
average, 81; rye, average, 30; barley, 81; pota-
toes. IS; broom corn, full average, 96; haxseed,
full average, 92; sorghum, 81 per cent: millet,
%: tame grass. full average, Sc; prairie grass,
full average, IS; apples, full average, Sc.
Rainfall and chinch bugs-Throughout the
month Of June especially the last half OF the
month. rains have been abundant in every
section Of the State, with the exception Of
few counties in the western portion. Fifty
counties report no bugs to hurt" The balance
report some damage TO corn crops Rains con-
