Co. s weekly review Of trade says:
"The outlook for business seems little bet
ter on the whole, though the Improvement ia
not great Moreover It Is impossible to dis
tinguish between mere replacement OF orders
Cancelled for want Of fuel or other causes
and the new business for which works
are anxtously looking. It is somewhat encour
aging that the decrease in payments through
clearing houses In comparison with 1892 is
about 80 per cent. Railroad tonnage is larger
than year ago in live stock and moderate in
cereals, but considerably smaller in coal and
Iron products and In other manufactured goods

with only 1887 coke ovens working and IA
b76 Idle with the Cambria discharginR half it's
force, and seven out of nine Of the Carne Rie
furnaces at Bessemer out OF blast the pro-
duct1on and manufacture of iron and steel are
smaller than at any other time for wears.
While 1t Is believed deferred work will cause
heavy production after the strike termi
mates the demand for products is at present
much below general expectations even at the
east. Other industries have been less affected
but many OF the textile mills even in New Eng
land have now been closed for lack of fuel or Of
orders, besides other concerns in great num-
Der between the Atlantic and the Mississinni
river
THE returns Of failures are still encourage
ing, PIG In the United States for the week,
against Ss2 last year, and 40 in Canada against
q last year. The liabilities in all failures re-
ported In the month OF MAY were Sl3 aDb. 357
about $5,42OO00 at the east. s45OO,OOO at the
south and $4,000 at the west. OF the aggre-

Bradstreet's says:
'Nearly all the unravorablo business condi-
lions OF the last three weeks continue to exer.
else an influence The few exceptions where
improvement Is noted are of practically local
Importance. Retail trade at many centers has
been 1nterfered with by unfavorable weather
and by further restriction OF the purchasing
power OF thousands OF wage-earners, by fur
Their Industrial trouble, or by shrinkage in
production.
The see-saw prices tip In the opposite direo-
tton this week, most strikingly in cereals, oats
having advanced 5hc, wheat $50 and corn nc.
Potatoes are zoe higher bushel at the west,
bar iron and pig iron are up sharply at st.
Louis and live stock at Kansas City. Lard Is
fractionally higher. Conspicuous decreases in
prices OF staples reported are In leather and
wool, due to heavy receipts Of new crop. Coffee
is OF &c.
''At larger eastern centers there is no i'm
provement in general business. New England
cotton mills continue to produce in excess of
demands Southern and Rhode Island cotton
well as orders. Philadelphia jobbers in dry
goods report better spot demand and the pc
troleum market there is more active, but Bal
timore jobbers in clothing as we'll as in some
other lines have not sent out drummers as for
merly.
Among southern cities covered Richmond,
Savannah, Jacksonville and Augusta report
the more favorable conditions. At the first
there Is q better demand for groceries and pro-
visions, for agricultural implements and leaf
tobacco, which is quite active.
There Is little far-reaching attending evil
dence Of improvement reported from the west.
At Louisville there is more demand for grocer
les, and the leaf tobacco market Is quite active
and business being reported. There is more
doing among jobbers in hardware at Chicago,
although interior merchants tributary to that
market have not begun to buy In advance Of
actual needs, and, on the other hand, the
spread Of the coal strike is checking business
there"
