What Bradstreet Says.

New York, Sept 4-Brads'reet's
to morrow will say: There is a
somewhat better feeling among
wholesal merchants as to the pros
poets for autumn trade in seasonable
goods This extends to some in
dustrial lines, notably iron and steel.
The demand for shoes from western
iobbers is more active than at the
east, and the dry goods trade regard
the result of the auction sale of
spring goods at New York as fairly
satisfactory.
Notwithstanding a continuation Of
high rates for money, with restricted
discounts and fewer time loans, there
is better feeling in financial cir
cles. The most notable increase of
sales of seasonable goods has been at
Chicago, mostly among dry goods
al lardw are jobbers.
Louis also reports moderate
gain in demand, as does St. Paul,
where State fair has attracted visit
ors 31altimore's wholesale trade is
checked by restricted bank credits,
but is still larger than one year ago.
At the south relatively the mcst ac-
tive demand is at Charleston, Angus
ia, Birmingham, Nashville and New
Orleans The more encouraging fea.
ture as to the movement of prices
lies in advances of quotations for
wheat, higher prices for iron and
steel at Pittsburg and Chicago, and
a further appreciation in quotations
for cotton on renewed reports of
damage to the crop. Petroleum and
leather are also higher
Lower quotations 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 at
tractive. At Detroit, Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Kansas City, Omaha,
Milwaukee, Duluth and Minneapolis
there is no change from the dullness
and conservatism which has marked
preceding weeks. Trade on the
Pacific coast, except in certain ex-
port lines, is of small volume.
There were 336 failures through.
out the United States reported to
Bradstreet's this week-l6 more
than last week. The total one year
ago was 1S4.
Bank clearings show no marked
change. the total being 1897 100000
this week for the United States, an
increase Of 10 per cent over last
year, but decrease Of 10 per cent
from the like week one year ago

From he State, Sept. 9th.
At o'clock this morning sufficient
returns have been received from the
second primary election held throug b.
out the State to-day to show that Gov
ernor Evans has been beaten by Judge
Joseph H. Earle for the Unitee States
senate and will never represent South
Carolina 10 that body. The political
revolution that began with the first pri-
mary a fortnight ago, is a complete
surprise to the whole State and particu-
larly to the Conservatives who did not
turn out and vote iu the first primary
at all. Although Senator Tillman
came to Gov. Evans rescue and stated
in his manifesto to the Refornsrs of the
State that John Gary Evans election
vas political necessity; that be must
be elected or the Reform movement
would be destroyed, the voters evident
" thought that Evans had not satisfac-
torily explained the charges that have
been made against him in the bond
matter aud other things and they have
not only repudiated him. but have
seemingly resented the interference of
Tillman ip the race. Governor Evans
friends have waged the hottest cam
paign ever known in the State during
the past 10 days, but it seems to have
reacted rather than helped him ou: of
his trouble.
At this hour total vote 10 the State
of $685. has been reported, of which
Evans has received 22,65S and Earle
34,275, giving Earle clear majority of
11,617 votes. Assuming that the total
vote will be over 80, 600 while the vote
10 the first primary was but 7S, 23l and
considered very large vote at that,
and allowing him two.thlrds of the vote
that has not yet been heard from, be
cannot reduced Judge Earle's majority
to less than 3 900, and that is placing it
at a minimum figure. Here is the
vote SO far as it has been reported:
