BRADsTREET NOT sANGUINE.
But Sees Encouragement in Prospects
for Fall Trade.

New York June 5-Bradstreet's says:
The only favorable features of trade
are announcement at the outlook for
fall business and improvement in de-
mand and prices of iron and steel.
Crops at the southwest particularly
have improved with SeaSOnable rains
and the prospect faVOrS larger exports
of wheat from the Pacific coast. A fair
ly satisfactory job trade continues at
leading cities in northwestern spring
wheat states. Business as a whole
shows a pronounced activity, and the
tendency of funds is to accumulate.
Where the volume of business exceeds
that of a year ago, as it does in few
lines, profits are frequently reduced so
as to render this years movement less
satisfactory. Orders for dry goods,
clothing and shoes for nearby delivery
have fallen off. The anticipated mid
summer Industrial disturbances, par
ticularly in iron and steel, promise to
influence business unfavorably during
the summer months.
Exports of wheat (flOur included as
wheaO from both coasts of the United
States and Montreal this week amount
to 262O, 600 bushels, compared with =
OS1 900 bushels last week, :, 209, 600 bush
els in the week year ago, 2,99l 900
bushels two years ago, 2,742,00O bushels
three years ago, and as contrasted with
3,61OO 900 bushels in the corresponding
week of 1891 Exports of Indian corn
amount to 1886 900 bushels this week,
compared with 21S5, 900 bushels last
week / 623, 600 bushels in the week a
wear ago. 1149, 900 bushels two years
ago, 947 900 bushels three years ago,

in the like week of 1898.
There are 1877 failures reported
throughout the United States this week,

DUN SEES PROSPERITY.
Thinks 1879 is About to be Repeated
-Busine ss Larger Than 1892.

New York June 5.-R. G. Dun &. Co.'s
weekly review of trade says:
The statement of failures in Nav
gives much encouragement. In amount
OF defaulted liabilities the month was
the smallest since September, 1895; in
manufacturing liabilities the smallest
since september, except the last month
OF 1894. Failures of general stores
have not been as small in any month as
in May, 1897; in only two months out
OF 80 have there been smaller failures
in books and hats, only five in groceries
and not one trading class in that month
has reported failures larger than in
that of the preceding months, though
in furniture failures are rather numer-
Gus. In clothing manufactures the
month was the smallest except four out
of Sc, except five in chemicals six in
wooden goods, seven in machinery, lum-
Der and miscellaneous manufact ures,
and exceeded the average only in iron
ana cotton goods and earthenware,
owing to a few failures of exceptional
size. Nobody can mistake the mean
ing of such returns.
The statement that, except for the
temporary depression in prices, the vol
une OF business transacted is now
larger than it was in 1S92-the year of
greatest prOsperity-haS been question
ed by some. But comparison of
prices this week in the leading branches
of manufacture not only confirms that
view but shows a remarkable similarity
to the course of prices in the earlier
months OF 1919, When the most WONDER
full advance in production and prices
ever known in this or any other coun-
try was close at hand. The key of the
situation is the excessive production of
some goods in advance of an expected
increase in demand. So, in 1879, con-
sumption gradually gained, month by
month, until suddenly it was found that
the demand was greater than the posi-
BILE supply.
All know how prices then advanced,
and the most marvellous progress in the
history of any country resulted within
two years. Reports from all parts of
the country now show that retail dis
tribution of products is unusually large
and increasing. There is no improve
ment in the market for farm products.

A GAME FOR TWO.
Hiram Root Tears Down in One
Night What the City Built Up
on a Previous Night.

The fence built in the city park is no
longer a fence. 1t was. taken down last
night and placed in piles on Felitz is
land. The city street force built the
fence upon what the city claims is the
line between H. c. Roots possessions
known as FeIitz island and the city
park.
The fence was built very quietly in
the evening so that Mr.. Root could not
stop the proceedings by injunction, for
he claims that what the city claims is
the line is not the true line at all, but
takes in so or so feet of his ground
That is why Mr.. Root had the OBJ
jectionable fence removed last night
while the city was sleeping. 1t was to
give the authorities a taste Of their
own medicine and avoid an injunction
Mayor Fellows says that he has not
yet decided what will next be done but
the case will probably be taken into
court at once and the vexing boundary
line established, for it is no pleasant
pastime to build fences simply to have
them taken down.

men imprisoned in the state peniten-
tiary at Lansing passed an unusually
uncomfortable hour last night. Fire
broke out in the prison about o'cIock
and soon all the men held within the
walls were in an uproar.
The fire seemed to be spreading rap
idly in the tailoring establishment and
the chapel and the imprisoned men
cried and begged of their keepers to be
released Finally the flames became
so threatening that fifty convicts, all
of them TRUSTEES, were released to as
sist the officers in their struggle with
the fire. There was no break for lib
erty but the men performed their duty
heroically, and the fire was ultimately
quenched after damage OF about $4,000
had been done.
