The UPWARD MOVEMENT.

The latest REPORTS from the East say
that excepting the great coal N ners strike,
which may terminate at any M, there
is scarcely any feature OF The business out
look which IS not encouraging. the season
considered Wheat is much higher than
q few weeks ago and Is now selling at
figure that makes its cultivation profit
able. In many home industries, particu-
larly in home building. there is more
activity than since 1892, and there i. a
marked increase in the demand for several
liue. OF goods, notably wool and woolens,
hides and leather and boots and shoes.
The general movement in trade, too. is
much better than il has been. According
10 Dun's Review in spite OF tie large
purchases for export the actual exports of
products from New York for two weeks
have been Is per cent less than last year.
But the official report SHOWS exports in
June OF the principal products amounting
TO $3S, I53, ,459. against $36 9s5. 5ll last year,
and for the fi>csl year s644 491. rs, against

heavy imports. at New York Il per cent
more than last year for two weeks Ct July,
sugar and wool, tobacco and hides being
prominent, with rather unusual quantity
OF cotton.
The New York stock market has steadily
advanced, with considerable buying on
foreign account. Money IS flowing into
that city from the interior, and there is
better demand for commercial loans,
chiefly on dry goods and manufacturing
account. From the same authority as just
quoted we learn that failures in the first
eight davs in July were only 81 557. 40l,
against 81 Ill, 956 in nine days last year,
with manufacturing $735 6s6, sgains, 81

lest national debt in :he world, and we are
destined some time TO surpass that famous
