THE STATE or TRADE.
senate sin InJuring business by
Doing >Othing.


NEW YORK, January 2L-Messrs r..
G. Dun a co. Will say in their weekly
review Of trade:
The failures for fifteen days Of January
have shown liabilities amounting to Si2-
53S OH. against S.50l.209 in the first seven
teen days OF last year, and fl3,65S $50 In
the first eighteen days OF 1894 The fail
ures for the week have been 313 In the
United States, against 1853 last year, and
81 In Canada, against 81 last year.
The week has been marked by Improve
meut apparent rather than real The
prices Of some products have risen. but
only because supplies are believed to be
smaller than was expected. the prices or
pig-iron and billets have risen, but be
cause coke and ores have been made
dearer and not because OF any better de-
mand for finished product Money has
been easier, but only because more has
been borrowed from Europe at time
when the actual balance Of trade takes
money hence to Europe.
The Senate still Injuries all business by
doing nothing. and the Treasury cannot
expect TO gain In gold as yet but loses
less than was expected 1t IS generally
assumed that the new loan will be placed
without difficulty. Business at the mills
does not revive. The payments through
clearing houses for the week are SO per
cent. larger than last year. but less than
i'm 1898. being less satisfactory than for
lNi- llill's
The textile Industries do not gain. With
materials practically unchanged, they
halt because the demand for future de-
livery Is so narrow. Cotton manufacturers
have for months been storing up staple
goods but prices have gradually declined
ever since October 18th. and now average
64 per cent. lower than at that point
WOollen goods also tend lower, with small
demand. and are practically at the prices
OF "A year ago, though wool is higher
The iron and steel business finds en-
cOuragement In the advance OF Bessemer
pig 10 Sl3 at Pittsburg. and Gray forge
TO sll25, but these are results Of the adj
vance ordered by combinations In coke
and ore. Anthracite IS not dedrer at the
East and southern pig is pressed for sale
Finished products are not stronger. While
pig-irOn has advanced 1913 per cent. since
January LIST. the prices of finished pro-
ducts average IL per cent. lower than at
that time The demand Is plainly too
small for the supply and the works in
operation are killing profits for each other
by undertaking.
In such case lower prices for pig. ore,
and coke would seem inevitable. but last
year the raw material hoisted everything
else, and some expected the operation 10
be repeated. While thirteen furnaces I'm
the Pttsburg District have stopped since
January list, the demand for products OF
iron has not on the whole increased,
partly because the bar. nail. and rail as
sociations have all refused TO lower prices.

appeal was made TO the Court to compel
counsel for the purchasers TO reveal the
names OF the real buyers. The Court
declined to order the disclosure. and tho
purchase is still a mystery. The i'm
preston. however, is that the Southern

its hand because IL does not want 20

Birthplace of the Flag.

There seems at last a reasonable
certainty that the Betsy Ross
House in Philadelphia will be
purchased and preserved as a
historical relic. Many had feared
that this quaint old building,
where the sprightly widow fash
toned the first American flag,
would fall before the march Of
improvements, because a few
months ago the Councils declined
to appropriate money for its pur-
chase. But Schuylkill Council of
the Junior Order of American
Mechanics has, as the Philadelphia
Ledger says, started a movement
to acquire and present the build
ing to the public, and sets good
example by pledging $1,000 toward
the necessary $4,000. This is not
the first occasion on which this
council has taken the initiative in
the performance of commendable
and patriotic work in it's city.
