THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Cong Looked For boom Has, as Yet,
Failed TO SHOW Itself


Failed 10 Show Itself
New York, Aug. 22.-R. q. Dun e. Cn.s
weekly review says: Political eventsyHe
the week had no definite influence upon
business prospects. for the phenomenal
variations In sterling exchange, and the
beginning OF imports Of gold may be
fairly attributed TO the accumulating ex-
cess Of merchandise exports over i'm
ports, to which attention has been re-
peatedly called, exports for the past two
weeks having been 20 per cent larger.
and imports here Il per cent smaller
than last year. The rapid movement OF
grain, and the unusually early market
ing Of cotton, tend strongly To aid the
banking syndicate which has under
taken to regulate foreign exchange.
Speculation has advanced wheat over
cent during the week, corn a small frac-
ton, and cotton ", the principal motive
power being reports of injury TO growing
crops. AS before, the unfavorable ac-
counts respecting wheat are in some
measures discredited by the continued
heavy movement from the farm. The
movement OF corn continues heavy,
although the price is still so low that one
wonders why the product is put into
cars, instead OF into hogs. The alarm
about destruction OF cotton has been
most vigorously worked here and abroad,
and has readily raised the price although
Il is yet To be seen whether the yield has
been SO far diminished as to warrant
price nearly cent higher than a year
ago.
The boot and shoe industry. which con-
tinues to lead all Others I'm proportion OF
hands employed. is nevertheless rapidly
nearing the end OF past orders. except in
women's grain and buff shoes, OF which
there are still orders for some weeks To
come, while others are constantly re-
ceived, but in other branches the new
business is light. Prices are a shade
weaker. Leather is weaker and small de-
mand, although restricted supplies have
caused shade OF advance in some kinds.
Hides. at Chicago, averaged more than
per cent lower for the week again, the
fall in the past five weeks having aver
aged about rs per cent.
Some additional heavy failures in the
lumber trade call attention to the con-
tinuing depression which appears to re-
suit, at least in part. from expectations
entertained by many that the unlimited
increase in new building during the past
year or two would be permanent.
Nothing encouraging can yet be said
regarding the wooden manufacture, and
the demand for goods. even at recent re-
ductions In prices. is still disappoint-
ingly small. A heavy auction sale Of
cotton goods brought prices which were
considered quite encouraging. and the
current demand is fairly maintained
although the mills are not inclined to
make large contracts In the future, In
view OF the rise in the raw material
In general the working force In the tex
tile branches does not appear to have
increased.
Failures for the week have been $50
in the United States, against 222 last
year. and q in Canada, against .43 last
year.

Report of Western Union
and Bell Alliance.
II Was a Bull RumOr to Pre-
vent Depression.
New York Banks Make Application
For Clearing House Certificates.

The first rumor to hit Wall street this
morning and the most sensational Of the
half day, was the information from Bos-
ton to the effect that Western Union
had secured control OF the Bell Tele-
phone. There wasn't the shadow Of CON
6rmation of the report, however, and
1t was soon nailed on a bull attempt to
save Western Union from the premedi-
tated attack of the bear crowd, and al
though Western Union did tally to 20
the effectiveness of the scheme was short
lived and the stock yielded. The plan
of the bears at present, so far as Western
Union Is concerned, Is to force balance
of "a, 900 shares held for loans and hy-
pothecated by tue Baltimore * Ohio,
into the market at about 90
This particular movement, together
with the other bear schemes was matcri-
ally helped along by the bad showing
OF the New York bank statements and
the announcement that application has
again been made for the use OF clearing
house certificates. .
