that in a short time they will have

presented OF the most successful re-
regatta ever given on the Columbia.

to a private dinner which the admiral
was unable to accept on account Of
illness. He could not state definitely
as to just what might be done in re-
gard TO sending ships of the white
squadron to take part in the regatta,
but seemed to think that It would be
difficult TO arrange It. Chairman Page,
however, has not received his letter
from Senator Mitchell. nor has he
given up hope OF being able to get a
war ship here. II not the oregon itself,

BRADsTREETs REPORT.
Encouraging Features OF Trade Shown
by Comparison.

New York. July 17.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say;
Nearly all the general merchandise
markets continue dull and the volume
Of business is smaller than anticipat-
ed. Little or no disposition is shown
to engage in new enterprises, both city
and country merchants continuing to
purchase with more than usual con-
servatism. in view of the unsettled
financial outlook and the low range Of
prices.
The total number Of business fall
ures in the United States this week
shows an increase of 255 compared
with 2l9 last week. When contrasted
with the corresponding week in 1895,
the increase during the past business
days is IL, and with the second week
of July. 1894. the current weeks in
crease is 49, During the corresponding
week of 1898, however. in the middle
of the panic. there were more than
twice as many failures as this week.
Among other favorable features are
the relatively encouraging reports
concerning trade at nine business CEN
ters.
