BRADSTREET'S REPORT.
A Falling on In General Trade Owing to
 the Cold Weather-Failures.

A Falling on In General Trade Owing to
 the Cold Weather-Failures.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 30.--Bradstreet's report says to-day:
 There has been falling off in general trade. owing to the heavy fall of snow and cold weather. There is Q moderate increase in tho distribution of heavy winter goods but com- mercial travellers very generally report buyers as even more conservative than earlier in the month and that wholesale trading in January, except in the lines specified, is smaller than for years Mercantile collections are interrupted, and the improvement looked for in iron and steel is not in sight.
 The most favorable feature of the business week is the sudden and sharp falling of in the total number of business failures in the United States, the aggregate being 326, as compared with 429 last week, decrease of 102. When compared with the corresponding week of 1S98 this weeks falling on is 67, but there is an inc crease of IA as compared with the like week in 1895. Contrasted with the like period in 1894, there have been IA fewer failures this week than three years ago.
 There have been increased sales of hides and leather; in some instances of shoes, of coal fer tilizers and southern pig iron for export
 The downward movement of prices for some of the more important staples continues con- spicuous, notably for flour, wheat, oats, lard, coffee, petroleum, turpentine and tin plate Quotations for Indian corn, pork, sugar, cotton and print cloths are practically unchanged. Concessions have been made in prices for iron and steel, yet quotations are nominally un. changed.

 The lives of young women are often
