BRADsTREETss REPORT.

New York; May 28.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say: Results of the spring trade in staples which is now over are disappointing. The volume of seasona- ble merchandise distributed is less than expected without taking into account an improvement in business compared with year ago. Nearly all central western and southern trade centers re- port business very quiet Dry goods continue depressed, cotton products sell ing with difficulty, some varieties only on concessions. The announcement of reduced or passed cotton mill dividends and that several large establishments will shut down to enable consumption to overtake production when coupled with the comparative indifference of consum- CTS to the lowest prices on record for iron and steel, would appear to sufficiently characterize the actual condition of gen. eral trade.
 The more favorable features are rela- tive activity among woolen goods manu- facturers who are working on old orders; improved demand for shoes and leather, continuance of the comparative activ- ity on the general demand at Savannah Memphis, St. Louis, Omaha, Sioux Falls Minneapolis and St. Paul, ,sthe better de- mand for lumber at the west and in the trade outlook in Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas. Increased exports are reported from Pacific coast ports, but there is comparatively little gain in do meStlc trade here except In cattle, wool and hardware at portland.
 Among twenty of the more important staple products only two-hides and wheat-have advanced, while one-haf the number-cotton, lumber, coal, Besse- mer pig iron, steel billets, steel rails, print cloths, sugar, pork and coffee-are unchanged, although there is a nominal advance in price for Bessemer pig and steel bilets. Now that wool manufac- turers have stocked up, wool is off as are cotton goods when sold in quantity, rosin is lower and among cereals, flour, Indian corn and oats, to which may be added lard and petroleum.
 Exports of wheat (1our included as wheat from both coasts of the United States and from Montreal this week amount to 2,801326 bushels, compared with 2,655,000 bushels last week, 2,064, ,000 bushels in the week year ago, 2,426, ,000 bushels in the week two years ago, D. 401 .O00 bushels three years ago and as compared with 3,253,OOO bushels in the like week of 1893 Exports of Indian corn also show a falling off amounting to, 2,1S5, ,933 bushels for this week against 3,419,000 bushels last week, 1,720,0 900 bush els in the week a year ago l,040,0 900 bush els two years ago. S12,000 bushels three years ago and as contrasted with 1,090,- ooo bushels in the like week of 1893.
 There were 257 business failures

removal of the gentleman to Scranton. His
fidelity to the interests of his employers and
the uprightness and fairness which has char
acterized his dealings with the company
patrons make his promotion well deserved in
the eyes Of his friends here
Although always diligently engaged in his
private business, yet Mr.. Quinn found time
occasionally to take hand in politics. In
this sphere his gentlemany and intelligent
characteristics also manifested themselves
and it was always his aim to keep politics as
far above the reach and influence Of the in
diyidual known as the heller as it was
possible for him to do so personally This
had the effect of giving him great influence
in the Democratic politics of this county and
he is as widely and iavorably known among
the Schuylkill Democrats as anyone who
have evertaken an interest in their affairs
He has been power in many of the county
conventions and Judge Dunn's nomination
and election to the Orphans Court of this
county was in no small measure due to the
business like methods Mr.. Quinn instilled
into the fall campaign of 1895.
Although Mr.. Quinn's removal to Scranton
appears to be q permanent one, we believe
that he will make his home again i'm Schuyl-
kill county. He was born and has always
lived in Schuylkill, and he has said more
than once that his heart was with it, This
leads to the conclusion that with continued
success and an ultimate requirement of suf-
ficient upon which to make the future OF
himself and family independent of business
| affairs he will return again and make hi,
home, if not in Shenandoah, somewhere
within the bounds of old Schuylkiu'
Meanwhile the HERALD joins his many
friends in wishing Mr.. Quinn and his family
continued prosperity and happiness.
The active management of the local agency
of the Singer Manufacturing Company,
which Mr.. Quinn reliuquishes, passes into
the hands Of his brother, p T. Quinn, who
has represented the same company for many
years at Brauchdale and is excellently Quali-
fed for the position.

Charles J. Quinn, one Of the most promi-
nont and popular residents of this town, to-
day moved with his family to scrnton,
where Mr. Quinn has established head
quarters as manager Of the Singer Manufac-
turing Company's business in the anthracite
regions Of this state Mr.. Quinn takes with
him the good will of the people Of this town

who make themselves peculiarly Of great
benefit to q community, He has always
commanded respect by his wise, conserva-

been unlimited. He leaves a record which
many more pretentious men might envy
During his residence of sixteen years here

by Rev Pautienius, Of the Mabanoy City
