NO REACTION In BUSINESS.
The Brightcs, Feature in All the Horizon
Is the Certainty of an Immense Corn
Crop.


New York. Sept. 6.--R. G. Dun & Co,
in their weekly review of trade, tomor-
! row will say:
There is no real reaction In business.
Gains which We're recognized as tenn
| porury are vanishing, but there re-
mains decided increase over last year
[ at date, although prices average SIS per
/ cent. lower than a year ago. ii needs
! no keen observer to see that the ieac-
/ ton against rauid advance of prices is
strong. Cotton is strong. but has
/ paused. The general tendency to cur
tail purchases where prices have no
/ tably advanced grows clearer in boots
/ and shoes, in wool, and in some pro-
! ducts of iron.
/ Imports are large, but it is stated
! that Bradford manufacturers find it
| hard to get labor enough to fill their
orders. so that delay may cancel many
| contracts, as inferior quality has can
celled some already
The brightest feature in all the hori-
| zOn is the certainty that the crop of
| corn will be enormous. FrOStS now can
| only affect Il small fraction, and
! the surplus will so into manufacture of
meals, because at 35.I cents ut New
| York, nearly cents lower than a week
/ ago, there is no other profitable use
/ for corn.
The one farm product which has been
/ strong because certainly short in held
/ rose from S.l9 cents for spot cotton last
! week to S.2j on Tuesday hut has since
/ been weak in spite of concerted official
! statements that the decrease is 33 per
cent. in some states and q per cent. in
! Texas. The public observes much Or
! ganiZed and skilled labor in these re-
| ports and also sees what many spccula-
! tors refuse to see the 5000 00o bales old
! American brought over. 1t is earnest
| ly hoped that southern agriculture has
not sustained so great a calamity. The
annual reports, showing a larger yield
last year than has been supposed, only
| indicate that more cotton must remain
| in the country besides the unconsumed
stocks abroad. A quiet market, with
out much change of prices for Il time,
would be q blessing to the south
The railroads have gained 3 of per
cent. in earnings over last year for
| August, the last week doing better,
though the tonnage east bound from
! Chicago was per cent. smaller for the
month than in 1892, and the earnings
of all roads We're 14.3 per cent smaller
Failures for the week have been 1856
in the United States against 2l9 last
year. and i'm Canada 3S against AZ last
year.

BONANZA IN OUR FRUIT.

London, Sept. 6.--The Immensely pro-
iltahle success in handling last weeks
CONSIGNMENT Of American fruit owing
to It's fine keeping qualities and excel
lent flavor, has created y rush to buy
as each steamer arrives. Some of the
retailers last week realized as high as
1000 per cent on their purchases.
Consequently. buyers were clamorous
and greatly disappointed when the CON
sgnment of California fruit by the
steamer Paris, which arrived at South
ampton last evening, failed to reach the
cOvent Garden market in time for sale
today.
The dealers on hand We're clamorous
for American peaches. There being
none of the product Of France or Eng
land in the market except those of hot
house growth, the Americans bring
fancy prices. They are wrapped up in
tissue paper and sold as the best Eng
lish hot-houSe grown fruit. California
pears also sold like hot cakes.
