THE BUSINESS WORLD.
Bradstreet's Review of the Features
of the Past Week.


Bank CIearings Show % Marked In
creas e-The Wheat Consumption Per
Capita in the United States.
New York, May 6.-Bradstreet's tomor-
row will say: The relative unfavorable
features of the general business situstlon
this week include the unreasonable cold
weather, which at some centres has
checked trade, the continued surplus
stocks of oottons, which depress prices,
the dullness and idle machinery in the
woolen goods industry, the falling off
In the demand for lumber at St. Louis
and Minneapolis, the continued dullness
in iron and steel, where, although the
mills and furnaces are fairly active, there
is continued absence of new orders.
The favorable side lof the picture in
cludes the marked increase in the total
volume of bank clsarings, a long list of
staples for which quotations have ad-
vanced, the almost uniform and une1-
pectedly improved prospects for the cereal
and cotton crops and the reflection of a
more confident feeling as to autumn's
throughout the territory supplied by q
number Of western cities.
The more Important staples for which
prices are higher are cotton, print cloths,
Indian corn, oats, lard and coffee, while
the quotations for pork, coal and lum-
ber remain practically unchanged. The
sale of wool is reported at Boston at the
| lowest price on record, from which it
may be inferred that the bottom is
reached. Wheat flour, wheat, sugar. Pc
troleum, Bessemer pig, and foundry irons
are likewise shaded in price.

gate 81, 135, 900, 900, or Is per cent more

per cent larger than the first week of
May, 1895; % per cent larger than the

There are s67 business failures reported
throughout the United States this week,
compared with 224 in the week a year

| The exports of wheat (wheat flour in

July l, 1894 or 1893. The present pros
pecr is for smaller quantity of available
wheat to be carried over on July / next,
than for years. The preliminary inyes-
tigation by Bradstreet's of the annual
consumption of wheat per capita in the
