3S. $50, $50 IN 1892. 1t seems that a
large part of the sales this week we're to
fill orders actually booked, and the rush
of belated clothiers and dealers to get
goods for the fail trade gives most man
utacturers more than they can do for "A
month or two, tho Ugh there seem to be
no demand whatever for spring goods,
and manufacturers are making no effort
to get orders. Wool has been advanced
for many kinds | cent n d the average
about J cent, after the decline Of Il
cents from May |. The movement OF
bleached cottons has been checked by
the restoration of prices, as it was slim
ulated by the temporary reduction to
the lowest pom. on record, and the nrint
cloth manufacturers at Fall River are
seriously considering a reduction OF
wages. the stock here and at Providence
b ing l,1S5,000 pieces, while he lowest
price ever known, . 9 I6 cents for 6ls
has been made at Providence. As Il
strike would help the price of the large
stock on hand one is not improbable.
Recovery in iron manufacture is h.n-
dered 10y greater trouble IN tie coke re-
gion. where many of the colored hands
have quit and go back to the south,
and the strikers have decided TO con
tinue the struggle Somewhat better
business appears at Philadelphia, but
the market at New York Is dull, there is
no improvement in quantities of mann
featured forms required al Pittsburg or
the west, and in general the demand for
finished products is disappearing. Prices
main nearly unchanged, though with
numerous small contracts for structural
work beams are shade stronger, while
B ,ssemer iron, bar iron and wire nails
are shade weaker. The demand
crowds all works producing low priced
shoes, while manufacturers of better
grades are left dependent upon slender
daily orders to keep their shops ill op
Grafton. Shipments from Boston for
the week are 25 per cent. larger than
last year, and for July II per cent, but
a decrease compared with 1892 of IL per
cent,
Gold exp rts this week are about
So 100000, and tie treasury gold re-
serve is reduced to ab ut $52,000,0O0.
The utgo is in part to settle for unus-
ually heavy imports of sugar, and in
part to pay large railroad and other
loans made year ago in time Of especia
stress. The main fact is that exports of
domestic products in July were nearly
20 per cent less than last wear, while the
imports, though much diminished for
time by tariff uncertainties, are but 6
per cent less than last year. There is
every reason to expect heavier imports
soon, while the markets do not give
promise of strong foreign demand for
the great exporuabDe staples, Money is
now coming into New York banks,
though in small amounts, and the custo-
mary heavy demand from the west has
not yet appeared, though the wheat
Is heavy. Commercial loans
are decidedly increasing, though not
enough as yet to terminate the extraor-
binary ease of the mo- ev market.
The volume of domestic bushes re-
fiected by exchanges thr ugh clearing
houses is 22.6 per cent less than last
year, and 2S.S per cent less than in 1892
here cannot precede but
must follow recovery in manufactures
The railroad earnings reported for July
are 20 6 per cent les than last year,
and partly because of the sharp decline
a year ago, the decrease for the latest
week was only l3 per cent. The ton

exports ana other discouraging features
depressed the average price of stocks 40
cents per share, while legislative rumors
helped to lift trust stocks 81 cents per
