Bradstreet'S Report.

New York, July 22.-Bradstreet' 5
says: All the previously reported IA
vOrable industrial and commercial tea-
lures are continued this week, and the
endurance of the revival i'll the demand
for iron and steel, the further advances
in the prices Of the same and additional
increases of wages of industrial en-
ployes being the most significant. The
merchants at almost all the larger
cities are preparing to send out travel
ers, and until they begin to exhibit re-
suits, no estimate Of how the fall trade
will open can be prepared. At this
time the outlook is regarded as highly
favorable. At Boston, Philadelphia
and Baltimore among Eastern cities,
noteworthy gains i'll sales OF staples
are announced. The expansion of in
dustrial activity at Chicago, st. Louis,
Louisville and Cleveland stimulates
the distribution of merchandise staples
generally.
Reports from Southern cities show
further important gains this week, be-
ing more marked than III a like period
for months before. Country merchants
in South Carolina are much encouraged
with the crop outlook, as the demand
is fair and prices tend upward. Like
reports come from Augusta that cotton
buyers have begun to make their pres
ence felt. The volume Of trade Is
smaller at Jacksonville.
Pacific coast advices are that the
California wheat crop is threshing out
poorly, bat in the Northwest the pros
poets for crop are of the best. The
total yield of corn i'll the contry will
exceed even previous large crop views.

recovery of $12, $50, 600 Of bonds said
to have been fraudulently conveyed
was bit of absolute nonsense. The

before the Boston company failed, and
are as worthless as was the paper. Mr.

Less Wine to Drink.

San Francisco, July GOV. S.
Scott, secretary of the viticultural COM
mission, says the grape crop will be
short this year. At the outset of the
season it seemed as though this would
be a year of very abundant yield, and
it was estimated that %, 900, 900 gal
Ions of wine would be made. But
lately the berries have not matured as
we'll as was expected In many vine
yards they have not filled out, and it is
thought that fully 20 per cent Of the
first estimate must be deducted. 1t is
now believed that the vintage this year
will not exceed 10, 900, 900 gallons.

accuracy of the report sent out from
Spring Valley, H., to the effect that
several hundred miners in that district
had volunteered to enter into slavery
if guaranteed the necessaries Of life by
the mine-owners. An inquiry was
sent to Mayor Delmagro, OF Spring
Valley, and the following reply has
been received:
Il am unable to say whether our
miners would accept such an offer as
was described in the telegram. l
firmly believe, however, that over one
half of them would be willing to sign
such an ironclad contract.

wealthy New Workers, it is learned
from state department sources, has
been formed and is awaiting the proper
crisis i'll Cuban affairs to again adj
vance the proposition for the practical
purchase OF Cuba. The plan will be
modified, however, to agree with the

question by purchasing the independ-
ence of the island for 500, 600, 900. II

VIII Only Hurt the Labor Interests

Washington, July 22-At the treas
ury department it was said the plan Of
Mr.. Sovereign, of the Knights of Labor,
boycotting the national bank notes, if
carried out, would prove more harmful
than beneficial to the labor interests of
the country, as it would contract the
currency to the extent of $21 900. 900,
without injuring the national banks.
1T would not hurt the banks at
all, =" said Mr.. O. p. Tucker, deputy
controller of the currency. IF the
men refuse to receive their notes, the
banks would present them to the treas
ury for redemption and receive legal
tender notes, which they would con-
tinue to use in their business. There
are only $21, 100000 of national bank
notes in circulation, while there are
$3.50, 600, 900 of other kinds of money
outstanding.

New York, July 19.-The Evening
Post prints today resume of the me-

stating that the laws of Minnesota,
under which the Northern Pacific was

1T is not difficult to understand that
the principal participants III the guar
antee syndicate do not like to give up
expected large profits, and that they
are endeavoring, though recognizing
the necessity of abandoning the Lon
don project, to accomplish the purpose
in another way. For instance, the
lawyers are studying the question OF
forming third company under the
laws of another state, which shall &C.
