Bradstreet's Report.


 New York, July 10.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 The usual midsummer dullness in gen. eral merchandise markets has been em- phasized by unfortunate weather, Dy un- easiness at the attitude of the Chicago platform towards the finances of the country and by the continued conserva- tism with which merchants continue to supply their wants The volume of bus mess appears smaller than last week Mercantile collections are most unsatis- factory, and there is disposit.on among jobbers to look more closely after cred- it's
 Wool is still further depressed, with not enough business to establish quota tionS. There is no improvement in the demand for fall business in woolens Iron and steel industries report re- duced demand even after the greatly re- stricted output, but with prices practi- cally unchanged and little prospects foi a revival for some time
 A portion of the recent activity among shoe manufacturers still continues, but the tendency is to fall off.
 Notwithstanding rains in Texas the cotton crop there is suffering from the drouth while in South Carolina toe much rain has fallen for the good of the crops.
 Pittsburg, St Paul and Savannah all report a smaller volume of business, and complaints are heard as to the prospects of the wheat crop on the Pacific coast
 Among two dozen staple articles prices of which form a gauge of the gen. eral tendency of values, only one-print cloths-shows an advance over last week, coffee, petroleum, iron, steel coal and lumber being conspicuous among those prices which are unchanged.
 More encouraging trade features in- clude the opening of new prints for fall delivery and the preparation for the road of travellers, more particularly among dry goods jobbers.
 Rains have helped Georgia farmers and at Phnadelphia the recent brisk de- mand for boots and shoes continues Jobbers at Augusta, Ga., report some i'm provement over May and June. and at Minneapolis merchandise is moving more freely, with fairly satisfactory or ders At St. Louis there have been more orders received for hardware, dry goods and shoes than anticipated. At Chicago increases in trade have been very slight but at Omaha gains are noted in the movement of dry goods, shoes and gro- ceries Relatively, the most favorable advices come from Baltimore, whose dry goods iobbers report sa1esmen receiv- ing encouraging orders. and whose deal CTS in clothing and shoes regard the past three weeks as pointing to better fall trade than in 1895.
 The total number of business failures , throughout the United States are 21! this week, smaller number than in the corresponding period in each of the three preceding years. The falling off from last week is ten.

Cleveland-R

Cleveland, July 10.-Ten thousand rooters saw Cleveland and Baltimore break even today. In the first game Cuppy had the Orioles at his mercy. Esper was the softest kind of snap for the Spiders, who pumped his curves for twentytwo hits. The second game was a pretty uphill fight. In the ninth, ow- ing to darkness the Cleveland fielders had trouble to see the ball and Baltimore scored four runs. Umpire Hurst refused to cali the game at D. m. and the crowd surged on the diamond, bent on delaying the game if possible. It took squad of policemen quite a while to get them off before Hurst would let the game pro- ceed. Scores

THE ISHK0ODA STRIKE.
Deputies Sent as aPrecaution, but No Vio-
 fence as Yet.

Deputies sent as a,rteCautlon, Dut NO V'o-
 fence as Yet.
 The miners at Ishkooda are still hold ing out in their, demands for more pay, and, as precautionary measure against trouble and to protect men who may de- sire to work, deputy sheriffs have been sent there. About 800 miners are en- gagged in the strike.
 The mines are operated by J. w. Wor- thington & Co.,, who, it is said, have refused to accede to the demand for an advance in wages on the ground that there is very little demand at present for iron ore and the ore producers are not in a condition to increase wages un- der present conditions of the market.
 It was reported in Birmingham yester- day that new men went to work yester- day morning, but received threatening anonymous letters and quit.
 The deputies were sent out on the pe- tition for guards in case an effort is made to prevent the new men from working. No violence whatever has thus far been reported.

THE SOUTHERN LEAGUE.
At Atlanta.

Atlanta, July 10.-Columbus gave the Atlantas a shut-out of the most approv- ed pattern this afternoon. Short, the Georgia boy, was in the box for Atlanta, but the defeat was no way his fault, as he pitched an excellent game and did one-third of the hitting Atlanta got. La mont was in the box for Columbus and was simply invincible. Only three hits could be secured, and none of these were worth anything. Gregory, Atlanta's new man, was in the game and covered third. His work was thoroughly satisfactory. Score:

TIE FAILURES ARE FEWER l
But Business Is Still Steeped in
 Stagnation.
HOT WEATHER AND POLITICS
Are the Alleged Factors in the Depression. There Are No Alarming Features in
 the General Situation.

New York July 10.-R. c. Dun G Go. will say tomorrow in their weekly review of trade
 Failures of the week have been 215 in the United States, against 253 last year and 99 in Canada, against 35 last year. With a political convention in progress directly antagonizing the position taken on the money question by the convention of last month, it is natural that there has been with many uncertainty about the future to intensity the dullness ex- pected at this season. Wall street ex- hibited no excitement, though stocks were weaker on Thursday and closed lower for the week, 25 cents per share for railways and trusts IS points; nor were there signs of alarm in the speculative market or money circles But ln stocks and other business the week was one Of waiting, with g. somewhat prevalent feel ing of insecurity.
 Serious apprehension regarding injury by drouth to cotton in Texas seemed jus titled by some dispatches published last week. so that telegraphic advice or somewhat general rain in the state Is welcome. Whether it is in season or suf- ficient to insure a satisfactory yield can not be definitely known, nor the extent of injury said to have been done by ex- cessive rains in some Atlantic states. But with the large increase of acreage a yield of at least fair proportions seems to be probabl and in view of heavy stocks carried on mills and markets here and abroad, mills closing quite exten- sively to permit Tightening of accumu- lated stocks of goods, large yield could hardly prove beneficial to the producers
 Large sales of print cloths are reported at 21A cents, slightly above the bottom price, but other goods have not yet been strengthened Nor have wooden goods improved, but the tone is rather less hopeful and the demand for goods is even more slack than was expected.
 Not much can be said of market so flat as that of iron and steel products, but part of the inactivity is strictly sea- sonable, part is due to still unsettled questions about wages and much more to a general disposition to defer orders until the future is clearer. Whether prices for finished products. are too high or not they average, relatively at least, 10 pen cent higher than prices of pig iron, which necessarily causes inaction when pig Is going lower. Bessemer fell this week to SIP at Pittsburg and gray forge to $10, but some contracts of importance have been placed. One for 1000 to 5000 tons for new building on Park row and another for 13,000 tons of cast pipe for Fifth avenue is pending. Quotations for finished products are not lower but are somewhat cut.

Pretty Story About q Dog.

A doctor at Newark, N. J., tells this
pretty story about dog: According
to the doctors story, the dog came to
his Office last Friday night and barked
and whined piteously at the door. &c
attempted to drive the animal away,
but did not succeed. Finally the dog
stole into the Office behind q patient,
and taking a position in q corner OF
the front room, continued to whine.
There were several patients in the
room, but as they exhibited no fear
and the dog gave no sign OF ugllness
the doctor did not modest him. When
the patients had been dismissed the
dog, evidently believing it was hia
turn. hobbled towards the doctor, still
whining and holding it's right foreleg
up. The doctor saw that the leg was
broken and started for his operating
room, the dog following. Securing
splints and other things necessary for
setting the limb, the doctor went to
work and soon had the injured mem.
Der IN good shape. Throughout the
operation the dog licked the doctors
hand in grateful manner, and when
it was finished went behind the Office
stove and lay down. BE has since
made the Office his home. New Or

ALPHABETIC EYES.
An Extraordinary Human Phenom,

An Extraordinary Human Phenom,
enon in Georgia..
A man with the alphabet in his eyea
that is the rare human phenomenon
to be seen in Atlanta, Ga.
Every letter of the twenty-si1 is dis:
tinctly marked in his two great blue
organs of vision. They are as plain
as print and lie around the edge OF the
iris like the figures on the face OF a
watch, being slightly in relief and ap-
pearing as if enamelled on a blue
background.
The man possessing this strange
popularity was at the late exposition
in that city, but not on exhibition aa
a "freak." If he had been he would
have attracted more attention than
three.fourths of the exhibits at the
show. He was simply watchman at
the main door of the Government
Building, and made no effort to secure
the notice of the vast crowds thai
swept past him. Pro badly less than q
score of the multitu de of visitors dis
covered those wonderfully marked
eyes, which could not, it is safe to say
be duplicated in all the world. The
name of this "man Of letters" is Alonzo
Lee.
