REVIEW OF TRADE.

An Increase of Confidence. Due to Heavy
 Gold Imports-Corn Reaches Low Price
 Failures.
 NEW YORK, Sept 5.-R. c. Dun & Co.,, in their Weekly Review of Trade, say:
 There is distinct increase of confidence, due largely to the continuing and heavy in- ports of gold. which have put an end to money anxiety and also to political events which are closely watched. While 1t does not Us yet start more mills and factories than are closing for want of work. it crops out in the speculative purchases of pig iron. wool and some other ma- terials by experienced men who believe that revival of business is not far of. and for the first time in nearly two months a slight up- ward turn appears in the prices of manufac- tured products The gain in confidence and in willingness to lend and invest gives reason to hope that the necessary repenishment of stock, which cannot be long deferred, may be liberal enough to stimulate fair activity in trade and industry
 Failures for the week have been 334 in the United States against lS5 last year, and 3I in Canada against 3S last year.

NEW ERA FOR CHINA.

Earl Lis European Visit May Result in the
 Opening of China to Foreign Trade.
 SHANGHAI, Sept. 5.-There are re- ports in circulation here among people of the highest authority which, if cor rect, show that the travels of Lii Hung Chang in Europe are likely to have in the immediate future most important effect upon the policy of the Chinese government, and that the Chinese em- pire will shortly be open to free trade with the rest of the world. The em- peror of China is known to be favor- ably disposed toward the extension of the railroad service of China and, with free trade, the abolshment of all transit dues and an improved system of railroads, the travels of Iii Hung Chang may be the means of awakening China into new life and prosperity and open to the commerce of the world markets which have hitherto been uselessly closed.

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Hamlin
 Says They Are Not Redcemable in Gold.
 MEXICO, Mo-, Sept. 5.-The statement that the silver dollar is worth 100 cents simply because it is redeemable in gold, caused Attorney S. NJ. Bickley, of this city, to write to the treasury de. partment to ascertain whether it was a fact. He has received the following denial:
 TREASURY DEPARTMENT, WASHINGToN Aug. .7, ls96.-Dear Sir: In reply to your let ter of the l7th inst, you are informed that the government does not redeem either standard silver dollars or silver certificates in gold.
