BRADSTREETS TRADE REVIEW.
Somewhat Better Feeling Among AIer
chants as to Fall Prospects.

Somewhat Better Feeling Among Mer.
chants as to Fall Prospects.
New York. Sept. 5.-Bradstreet's
says: There is a somewhat better feel
ing among wholesale merchants as to
prospects for autumn trade in season.
able goods This extends to some in
dustrial lines, notably iron and steel.
Chicago sales of iron this week are
larger than for all of August. and
Pittsburg sales are larger and prices
better on the outlook for harmony
among steel makers. The most notable
increase of sales of seasonable goods
has been at Chicago. mostly among
dry goods and hardware jobbers. St.
Louis also reports moderate gain in
demand. as does st. Paul Baltimore's
wholesale trade is checked by re-
stricted bank credits. but is still larger
than one year ago.
The more encourag ing feature as to
the movement of prices lies in ad-
vances OF quotations for wheat on the
stronger statistical position and free
export movement, higher prices for
iron and steel at Pittsburg and Chicago
with a gain in demand and a further
apprecia ton in quotations for cotton
on renewed reports of damage to the
crop. Petroleum and leather are also
higher on the other hand there has
been no general increase in Industrial
production, the output. as whole, be-
ing smaller than previously during the
year
There were 1856 business failures
Throughout the United States reported
to Bradstreet's this week, sixteen more
than last week. Weekly totals con-
tinue higher than in like periods in pre-
ceding years. except in 1898. The total
one year ago was 1874, two years ago it
vas c01. while in the like week in the
lanic year 1898 there were $40 business
fixtures reported - forty three more
than this week.
