THE BUSINESS SITUATION.
A Better FeeIing-Distinct Increase
of Confidence.

NEW YORK, September 4-"Brad-
streets" will say tomorrow: There is a
somewhat better feeling among whole
sale merchants as to the prospects for
autumn trade in seasonable lines. This
extends to soSle industrial lines, notably
iron and steel. The demand for shoes
from western jobbers is more active than
at the East, and the dry-goods trade re-
CARDS the result OF the auction sale Of
spring goods at New York as fairly salts
factory. Notwithstanding a continuation
of high rates for money, with restricted
discounts and fewer time loans, there Is
better feeling in financial circles. The
most notable increase Of sales Of season.
able goods has been at Chicago,
mostly among dry-goods and hardware
jobbers. ST. Louis also reports a mode
rate gain in demand, as does St. Paul,
where a State fair has attracted visitors.
Baltimore's wholesale trade Is checked by
restricted bank credits, but is still larger
than one year ago At the South. re-
latively the most active demand - at
Charleston. Augusta, Birmingham, Nash
Vile, and New Orleans.
The more encouraging feature as to
the movement Of prices lies in advances
iron and steel at Pittsburg and Chicago,
and a further appreciation In the quota
tions for cotton on renewed reports OF
damage to the crop. Petroleum and
leather are also higher. Lower quota
lions are reported for corn, oats. lard,
sugar, and coffee. Further damage TO the
Texas cotton crop Is reported, and the
outlook for business In that State iS less
attractive. AT Detroit. Cleveland, Gin
cinnati. Kansas City. Omaha, Milwaukee.
Duluth. and Minneapolis there Is no
change from the dulness and conserva-
tism which have marked preceding weeks.
Trade on the Pacific coast. except In GER
tain export lines. is OF small volume.
There were 1856 failures throughout the
United States. reported to "Bradstreets"
this week. sixteen more than last week.
The total one year ago was 1874
Bank clearings show no marked
changes, the total being ss27 10000 this
week from cities throughout the United
States. an increase Of 10 per cent. over
last week, but decrease OF 10 per cent.
from the like week one year ago.
Messrs. r. G. Dun & Co. will say to-
morrow, in their weekly report OF trade:
The failures have been for the week 33i
in the United States. against 1856 last
wear. and 81 In Canada. against IS last
year.
There Is a distinct Increase of conf
dence. due largely TO the continuing and
heavy imports OF gold, which have put
an end to monetary anxiety, and also
TO political events. which are closely
watched While It does not yet start
more mills and factories than are closing

Heavy speculative purchases OF Besse-

forge have so strengthened the market
that Bessemer at Pittsburg commands

associations have not reduced prices, be-
lieving that 1t would not at present
stimulate demand. which is extremely
narrow, and as yet shows no improve
ment.
The starting Of some woollen mills.
which have been idle and accommodating
orders for a short run, is still balanced
by the stopping OF others, and the VOL

gain as yet appears in demand or

OF woods shows q belief that prices will
improve. and the sales for the week were

NEW YORK. September 4.--Stocks
ruled strong until near the close. when
there was a slight reaction. due to the
bank failure in Montana and the suspen-
sion OF a land and mortgage company III
Kansas. The early strength Of the mar
ket was the result OF heavy covering Oh
short contracts. and increased buying TOT

ceipts OF gold from Europe to-day
and the belief that additional engage
ments Of the metal for shipment TO New

were the main factors at work Money

actions in time loans were reported at
fiat 6 per cent. for short dates.
Belated shorts contested the rise for a
time but In the afternoon trading even
they were compelled to come into the

buying, with the commission business al

OF reducing the rate OF dividend, all
failed TO dampen the bulish ardor. The
