HE SCOUTS THE IDEA.
Assistant Secretary Curtis Says There Is
 no Run on Treasury Gold.


 Washington, Aug. 2.-Treasury officials were surprised this afternoon when 1n- formed that a demand had been made upon the sub-treasury at New York for a considerable sum of gold for export. The amount exceeds $2,000,O00 and opens up another gap which the Morgan-Bel- mont syndicate may feel called upon to fill. One million was called for by the Bank of Montreal and upwards Of $l, 250,- GOO by the coffee importing house. The treasury has not been officially advised of the transaction. According to the of ficial figures issued at 2 o'clock this aft ernoon the reserve stands at $1O7,llS,25l, a loss since yesterday of $11S,251.
 Acting Secretary Curtis says the move ment indicates nothing more than a de- sire upon the part of the American inn porters to pay their debts as they fall due, the export of gold at this season be- ing occa stoned by the liquidation of for eign accounts. The shipping of gold to the Montreal bank is not, the secretary says, an unusual occurrence. That bank has large credit in New York and this call for gold is. he thinks, on account of the demand for settlement. Assistant Secretary Curtis scouts at the idea of any attempted run on the treasury gold.

Jacksonville Fla, Aug. 2.-Charles Bayer of Bayer Bros, 99 Gold street New York, is now travelling the state buying up all the hides and alligator skins he can get hold of.

He expects to secure 90 per cent of the skins of alligators that are killed this year. The alligator skins are shipped to Europe. but the hides are sold to exporters and tanners. MT. Bayers firm also purchases alligator hides in Mexico and South America, but those he says are disposed of in the domestic mar kets. The Florida skins are considered much the finest.

Dun's Review.

New York, Aug. 2.-R. c. Dun & Go. in their weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 The years business will be much af- fected by the crops, and the most hope ful estimate falls below full year crop, except for corn. Larger stocks than were immediately wanted have been taken by traders, as prices were advanc- ing, and these tend to limit future or ders. The. general advance in many products also causes reluctance to pur- chase, and the distribution of the past half year has been in part to make up for stocks and individual supplies de- pleted during two years of economy On the other hand. there has been enormous increase in the working force and con siderable increase in wages paid, which enables people to buy more freely Alp prehension of monetary disturbance has been quite pushed aside. Strikes of some importance appear but do not threaten to last long, though a strike of coal min CTS may for a time affect business some- what extensively. The hopeful spirit prevailing in nearly all markets may find it's warrant in spite of some short age in crops
 All the indications show midsummer lassitude. For the first time since tho rise in prices of iron products began there have been some concessions to re- tain business, and the efforts of new
 
 advance. In spite of this the general average of prices is a shade higher. bar having risen relatively more than mill iron has declined. The market for pig is quiet and on the whole remarkably strong, with the prospect of increased output. Finished products are generally strong, with more demand than can at present be met for plates and for bars.
 Business in cotton goods has been the largest in July for several years, reck- oning deliveries. but not large as to new orders. further advance of H cent per yard has been made with moderate demand for some bleached and brown goods, and prices are firm for sheets and drills while colored cottons are quiet. with occasional advances. The demand for mems woolens has been less active, with some disappointment observable, while worsteds have sold relatively bet ter.
 The failures for twenty-five days of July have been smaller than year ago, amounting to $8.392727 of which $2,021, 1922 were of manufacturing and $5. .665, ,563 of trading concerns, while the liabilities last year were $9,016,778. of which $4500,52O were of manufacturing and S4 4SS1, ,O91 of trading concerns.

 Montgomery, Aug. ?.
 Hon. Hector D. Lane gave out the following for publication today:
 Department of Agriculture,
 Montgomery, Aug. ?.
 As there is but a. limited time for gath ering up from the gardens, orchards and fields the products to be sent to the great international fair to be held at At lanta, I address this letter to the public, earnestly soliciting the cooperation of our people throughout the state. It is time that all Alabamians were hustling in the way of gathering up the largest and best samples of fruit. vegetables and field products for the eyes of the world.
 I suggest that the citizens in each coun- ty raise a suitable sum of money to pay some one to gather up the articles in each county and carefully pack, box and ship to the commissioner of agricul- ture, Atlanta This would secure an ac- tive agent, who would push forward the work. Or if the probate judges, county clerks and sheriffs will unite their ef- forts the same end can be accomplished without the expenditure of any money.
 Alabama must not lag behind any state in this great display. Her natural resources are unexcelled and state pride should prompt her people to eagerly seize this opportunity to bring before the eyes of the world her wonderful re- sources County exhibits are preferable, and the name of the county will be placed on its exhibit, or on individual displays. When necessary Maj. T. J. Key of this department will visit any county and assist in putting up fruits, etc. Yours truly, H. D. LANE,
 Commissioner of Agriculture.
 Each county paper is requested to copy.

THE BUSINESS OF THE WEEK A Large Volume of Trade in
 Many Lines. AN INCREASE IN THE WEST
The General Industrial Situation is Somewhat
 Improved Through Strike Settlements.
MONETARY APPREHENSION SUSPENDED
Chicago Iron Manu .acturers Said to Have Refused Orders The Aggregate Of July's Failures Smaller Than
 Year Ago.

New York, Aug. 2.-Bradsrest's tonor- row will say: The week presents a larger volume of trade in many lines and at many points than in the weeks before and one year ago. The rush of orders for steel and iron leads in the interior. displaying remarkable strength. Vest ern manufacturers have been obliged to purchase eastern billets to meet their or ders. Less confidence is placed in last weeks rumors of serious damage to the spring wheat crop in Minnesota and the Dakotas.
 Another conspicuous feature of the week is the evidence of reviving eonf- dence on the part of the western and northwest interior merchants, now that the corr and spring crops promise we'll. This is shown plainest at Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee and St. Paul, where order demand and sales to buyers in per son have increased to a striking extent. At the south general trade remains as of q moderate volume. as previously noted. Nashville and Galveston report material gains There is better outlook and feeling at Charleston, but elsewhere midsummer quiet rules. All the mills are busy at Augusta. Delay in paying the sugar bounty affects trade very unfa- foraby in Louisiana. At larger eastern centers there are no changes beyond better demand in leading staple lines at Baltimore, New York and Boston, based on improving interior demand for fall delivery.
 The general industrial situation is somewhat improved, though the proba- ble successful strikes in the New York tailors, the end of the strike of the Cleve- land wire drawers, continued advances of wages, starting up of new manufacturing enterprises and further increase in de mand for leading manufactured staples notably iron and steel. At Chicago coke pig iron manufacturers have refused or ders.
 There were 221 failures in business re- ported to Bra9street this week, as com pared with 239 throughout the United States last week; 220 in the week one year ago and 459 in the corresponding week of 1893. In the like week of 1892 the total was only 155.
