total volume Of this new business is not
large, but it is unusual in this, the dull
month of the year, and it is growing.
A number of western implement
factories are unable to fill all their orders
for nearby delivery. The depression
among wooden manufactures is less pro-
nounced, because prices Of cheviots and
other woolens have begun to advance.

ago.
I Fewer bitiminous coal miners are on
strike than one week ago, and the pros
pect is brighter for settlement OF the
differences between mine owners and the
operatives. Fewer manufacturing indus
tries than expected have been compelled
to close owing to lack OF coal on account
of the strike,
The shutting down Of cotton mills to
force reduction of stocks on hand has
already stiffened prices.
The most favorable feature OF trade is
Its slow, conservative, steady expansion,
1t being based on the Increased wants and
larger Consumption capacity of the agri-
cultural community, for whom the pros
pect is brighter than it has been for six
years.
Practically the only decrease in quota
tions this week has been for iron and
steel; prices of oats and print cloths are
Interchangeable. The list of advances is
longer and more significant.
Bank clearings throughout the country
continue the encouraging exhibit made
for several weeks past, but this week {
aggregate is 80 per cent greater than in
the last week of July 1896, and 214 per
cent greater than that in the like week OF
1895, at the height of the little boom III
iron and steel that marked that summer.
When contrasted with the fourth week OF
July 1894, period of extreme business
depression, this weeks total is bound to
be 81 per cent larger, and even when com.
pared with a like total in 1898, during the
panic it is II per cent larger. IS
There are 259 business failures reported
throughout the United States this week,
rather more than the average in recent
weeks.
General trade at Montreal is moderately
active, equal to about the average at this
season of the year. Cattle export trade is
less profitable than expected. ~At Halifax
business continues dull. The apple as
we'll as the other fruit crops in Nova
Scotia promises to be small Advices as
to the New Foundland fisheries are dis.
couraging. Lumber prices and stocks OF
lumber at st. John, N. B., are somewhat
depressed by large supplies abroad. There
are 80 business failures reported from the
Dominion of Canada this week, compared
with 81 last week, 81 in the week year

Damage to Crops Immense.

Waterville, July ys0.-Prominent farmers
Of Somerset, Franklin, Kennebec, Penob-
scot and Aroostook counties allege the
rains of this season have changed the
crops to an extent to be computed in the
hundreds of thousands of dollars. The
hay crop alone is nearly a so per cent loss
and roughly estimated at $500, 600. In the
eastern portion of Maine the potato, corn,
barley and apple crops get the worst of it,
Many of the farmers having the SO called
'lowlands'' rich with muck, are not un-
der cultivation for the reason that these
sections are flooded or so wet it is impos-
sible for man or beast to get to them.
Building operations are affected to great
loss and in many instances suspended for
the season. The brick kilns are being
operated at nearly twice the usual ex-
pense, and the lime and granite quarries
worked under extreme difficulties.
Great Damage to Crops.
Goenville, N H., July 80.-The recent
heavy rains in Southern New Hampshire
have caused the farmers to bitterly COM
plain of the great damage to the hay and
potato crop. In some places the hay has
remained on the meadow land for three
weeks undisturbed and is rotten, when
had it not been for the rain a second crop
superior to any in the past five years,
could have been saved. To make matters
worse the potato crop has caused consid-
erable loss by destroying several fine
gardens of potato seed.

De Armitt's Mines VIII Be Closed.

Pittsburg, July 30.-Secretary Warner
claimed this afternoon that all of De
Armitt's S miners would be idle tomorrow.
Not a pound of coal was mined at Sandu
today, he said, and not moro than SO men
wore working at Turtle Creek.
President De Armitt denied Warner S
statement that the men were out at Tur-
tie and Sandy Creek today.
Trouble at De Armitts Mines Looked For.
Pittsburg,' July 31.-At midnight 1T
looks as though the sheriff S proclamation
would be the biggest factor in bringing
about trouble in the vicinity of the De
Armitt mines. Tonight meeting of
strikers was held at Oak Hill and it was
decided to pay no attention to the sher-
ifs proclamation, as it was considered to
be an outrage.
Striking Miners in West Virginia.
Wheeling, W. Va, July 3o.-The strik-
ing miners organizers in the Wheeling
district are making desperate effort to
counteract the effect of the refusal of the
men in two mines of the Boggs Run Coal
company to come out, but 1t Is likely that
the Boggs Run break will precipitate
others. In fact the mine at Moundsville
was working today with small force
and 33 of the 20 men at Elm Grove were
at work.
