The number OF Industrial employees on
strike or locked out within tho past
eighteen monthsls much smaller than
tho total for o like period prior to, 1901.
Specially telegraphed totals OF bank
clearings from seventy cities this week
show q decrcase as compared with last
week but a gain as compared with the
like week in 1891. Comparative totals
show a decrease OF So per cent this
week, but Is per cent larger volume
than in the fourth week OF July, 1891.
There arc 1863 business failures in the
United States reported to Brddstreet's
this week. as compared with l79 last
week and 200 in the fourth week OF July
last year. An unusually large proper
ton OF them continue Of concerns with
very small capital.
Exports OF wheat this week (includ-
ing flour as wheat from United States
seaports, both coasts, as reported to
BrGdsret'S aggregate 2,52+,000 bushels,
slight decrease as compared with the
preceding week, but fully 100000 BUSH
Gle less than were exported in the fourth
week of July, 1891, and only $4,000
bushels more than we're sent abroad in
the like week OF 1890. During four
weeks OF July, 1902, total wheat land
-FOUR exports, as reported to BradStrcets,
equaled $500, 900 bushels; in July,
1891, about 100000 bushels, and in
July, 1890, about 1550000 bushels. In
July, 1880, the like total was about
100000; in 1883 about 100000
bushels.
Print cloths are firm at the advance,
with orders booked ahead to February,
1893, and no stocks on hand, against
$50 600 pieces a wear ago. All and part
wool stuifs are more active. Cotton
prices have advanced 4c on the week on
the promise Of the failure Of the anti
options bill and better demand.
Bullish manipulation OF the indus
trials and the assertion OF favorable
speculative sentiment regarding the
crops and railroads prospects have re-
suited in strong and somewhat active
share market. The fear Of gold ship
ments held the movement somewhat in
check, but tails to affect its bullish un-
dertone. Foreign Interests, however,
arc Indifferent, and the market is pro-
fessional and narrow. Bonds ara in
moderate demand, with little demand
for speculative issues. Silver 10 weak
and unsteady at decline in price.
In the province of Ontario new wheat
isbeine received weighing 90 and 81
pounds to the bushel. Dry goods,
groceries and hardware staples movo
with some freedom. In the province
OF Quebec crop prospects are very good,
and general trade, while not eqnaling
expectations, is fairly good. Cattle OK
porters arc said to have been losing
money. Bank cloarings at Halifax,
Montreal, Toronto and Hamilton, az.
