DOES NOT INCREASE
BUSINESS Is MORE ON THE WAIT
THAN EVER BEFORE

tl0n on . H2n0-t0-MO BASIS Inefe
10 Now Tendency, Wherever the Na-
sure of the Case Will Admit, to Shut Up
crease in Business Failures for the
Week-Dun's Figures on the Situation
Clearing House Returns.
New York, Aug. 28-Bradstreets to-
morrow win say: The volume of gen.
eral business has not increased within
the week. Expectations appear to be
brightest at Baltimore, Louisville and
Kansas City. which send out more fav-
or'able reports as to the quantities of
general merchandise sold than any 9TH
er centers. Early movement of crops is
said to be behind the increased orders.
Another encouraging influence is found
in lower rates for foreign exchange, the
movement Of $10,O0O, 900 in gold from
abroad to the United States and the ex-
preston OF opinion that not less than
$40, 900, 900 in gold is to be imported in
the near future.
Conspicuous among the checks 10
trade are greatly increased firmness for
money at nearly all financial centers. AS
at New York, banks at most of the larg-
er cities report Withdrawals of deposits,
in many instances by country banks,
higher rates for call loans and at some
points the practical refusal to make
time loans
JObbers and manufacturers report no
general increase in demand for staple
merchandise. The tendency of the for
mer is to let the latter carry stocks and
OF the latter to cut down production IN
til necessity cOmpels freer purchases
by wholesalers. Trade opinion is that
little gain in business need be expected
until after election. Merchants in CEN
ters where cotton and new wheat are
moving freely are somewhat hopeful
as to prospects
The record Of this weeks business
failures in the United States shows a
large fncreae over last week; 320 as
compared with 264, a gain of 81. Com
pared with the week year ago, the in
crease Is 130, and with two years ago
the gain is 12S. The last week in Au-
gust, 1893, during the panic, there were
1863 failures reported.
Total exports OF. wheat, flour included
as wheat, from both coasts of the Unit
ed States and Montreal this week
amounted to 3,s3s,45S BUSHES, against
J, 2,991 900 bushels last week, 1871 900 in
