The General Financial Situation of the
Country Shows Improvement
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Viewed from
treasury standpoint, the general
financial situation of the country shows
Improvement; slight, perhaps, but it is
believed permanent. Bank failures
have almost entirely ceased; banks
that have suspended under the fnan-
cial stringency are resuming business;
gold which poured out Of the country
is returning, and a general feeling Of
confidence is being restored. This
changed condition was felt last week,
and has day by day increased. Money
is still scarce, but not SO much so as 1t
was.
During the time that gold was being
shipped TO Europe, the United States
sustained net loss of SG3, 600, 600. This
gold is now coming back, and it is esti-
mated that already SIS, 100000 has re-
turned This specie has found its way
into the interior of the United States,
much Of IL to Chicago. Some of 1t now
figures in the bank balances, but much
of il was absorbed by American securi-
ties. To this is attributed to some ex-
tent the Improvement in the general
stock market. Government revenues
continue light, which shows that less
money than usual is being sent abroad
for foreign goods, which is also consid-
ed under the circumstances good sign.

WAYS AND MEANS.

First Meeting OF the Committee 1t ID In
timated that No Tariff Legislation VIII
be Considered ut This Session OF Gem
gress.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 94.-The commit
tee on ways and means held their first
meeting yesterday, all the members
being present Chairman Wilson was
authorized to appoint the various com
mittees. Tuesdays and Fridays were
fixed upon as regular meeting days.
Reuter- w. Springer, the clerk OF the
last committee, rendered his resigna'
tion, accompanied by an account OF his
stewardship. The interesting feature
of this was a statement that while at
Chicago ne had secured from foreign
exhibitors ut the worlds fair line OF
samples OF the articles exported by
them into the United States, together
with the selling price at the place OF
production. These will be placed on
file in the committee room and may be
Of value to the subcommittee while
arranging tariff bill. They numbered
1900, or 1900 in all.
Before adjourning Chairman Wilson
requested the members to consider In
the interim before the next meeting a
plan Of procedure for the committee
in its work; whether or not hearings
shall be given persons interested in the
tariff; how and when bill shall be re-
ported, etc.-with view to deciding
upon policy at the next meeting.
In making his request Of members
for an expression Of their views as to
the method of procedure to be followed
by the committee, Chairman Wilson in
timated his expectation that no tariff
legislation would be considered at the
present session of congress, and that a
recess would be taken from the middle
or last of September until the date fol
the meeting Of the regular session in
December.

The Improvement Noted q Week Ago Be-
comes More General Disasters Avoided
by Greater Spirit of Mutual Helpful
ness.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2e.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
The improvement observed last week
has become much more distinct and
general While the actual transactions
have Increased but little, the change
in public feeling is noteworthy. There
are fewer failures, either Of banks or
of important commercial or manufac-
turing concerns, than for some weeks
past Many disasters have been avoided
by more general pooling of resources
and a greater spirit of mutual helpful
ness and forbearance than were seen
some weeks ago. One large stock fail
ure for several millions was thus pre-
vented in Wall street on Thursday and
the market for securitieS though at
times depressed by closing of heavy
loans, has been extremely dull, with
out material decline. ~
Money on call is more abundant and
lower, as many interior loans have been
paid since the banks ceased to send cur
rency away, and advanced their rates
for renewing or extending such loans,
but there is little relief al respects
mercantile accommodations; as the use
of checks in the place OF currency
increases, and the secretary OF the
treasury, in answer to an inquiry, has
stated that no legal objection exists to
the use of sight drafts only for small
sums in payment of hands. The diff
Guilty of collections and the interrupt
tion of exchanges are nearly as serious
rs ever.
The number of industrial establish
ments resuming begins to compare
fairly with the number stopping work.
1t cannot as yet be said that the army
of unemployed has begun to decrease,
but the additions to itare much smaller
than in previous weeks.
A little better demand appears for
some products, such as wire nails and
barbed wire, of which important pro-
ducers have been idle for nearly two
months, but in general, the consump-
tion has so far decreased that southern
furnaces are offering pig iron at very
low figures here, and standard makers
in Pennsylvania are contemplating a
reduction in process.
The shipment of boots and shoes from
Boston show decrease, compared with
last year of 80 per cent. for the week
and 81 per cent since June and coun.
termands still offset new orders at the
east, though somewhat more activity is
reported here and at Philadelphia on
account of southern buying, The tex
! tile manufacturers show no improve
ment and dispatches mention twenty
! four mills as having closed indefinitely
and seven others temporarily. Twelve
mills which temporarily closed nave
now resumed. The demand for goods
is very narrow and uncertainty about
collections and supplies of currency for
hands turn the scale in many cases.

DETROIT, Mick, Aug. 2O.-Michael
O'Brien, aged 3S, a union seaman, was
shot and killed yesterday afternoon by
William Lennon, captain OF the schoon-
er Reuben Doud. The boat had been
loading grain with non-union men and
it is probable that this led to the
trouble which resulted in the killing.
The captain claims to have been at
tackled by o'Brien and to have shot in
self-defense. The statement Of a friend
of the dead man, who was with him at
the time, lays all the blame upon Capt.
Lennon.
