Discouraging After AII-MuItitudes
Still Waiting For Action at Washington
Number of Failures Smallest Since
September 1896.
New York, May 2S.-R. G. Dun and
Company in their weekly review of trade
will say:
People are actually doing more business
than they realize. They reckon by values.
but these are much lower than in any
previous year of prosperity and leave the
margin for profitssess. In quantity there
is almost as much business being donesas
in the years of greatest prosperity, and
though the increase in population would
call for a material expension, the compar-
ison is not discouraging. The recovery
is slow, hesitating and gradual, but more
has been done on the whole in May than
in April, while returns in April showed
the volume of business only ten per cent
smaller than that of the best year hereto
fore. Yet hesitation is doing its work
every week and multitudes are waiting
because. of possibilities at Washington
labor and the products of labor
Manufacturers have especial causes of de-
lay, owing to the possible competition
with foreign goods largely imported, but
there has been no set back in prices, al
though cotton goods are dull without
large demand and print cloths are at the
bottom price. The woolen mills are pro-
ducing more than they have done for
years, though much less than they could
or would like to produce and manufact-
urers are doing almost nothing in the
wool market.
The iron manufacture gains in spite of
the closing of some furnaces.
Failures for the week have been 214 in
the United States, the smallest in any
week since September, 1895, against 239
last year and 22 in Canada against 20 last
year.

Bradstreets Looks at 1t Different1v.

New York, May 2S.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say: Results of the spring
trade in staples, which is now over, are
disappointing. The volume of seasonable
merchandise distributed is less than ex-
pected, without taking into account an
improvement in business compared with
a year ago The more favorable features
are relative activity among wooden goods
manufacturers, who are working on old
orders; improved demand for shoes and
leather. Increased exports are reported
from the Pacific coast ports, grain and
fruit prospects in Washington are excel
lent.
The total bank clearings for six DAYS
business ending with May 81, is S91S, ,OO0,-
600, a falling off of six per cent from the
week before.
There are 257 business failures through
out the United States this week, moderate
increase compared with totals of CORE
spending periods in preceding years.
Exports of wheat flour included as
wheat from both coasts of the United
States and from Montreal this week
amount to 2,0S1, ,226 bushels; compared
with 2,655,000 bushels last week. Exports
of Indian corn also show falling off
amounting to 2,1S5, 933 bushels this week,
against 8, 1900 bushels last week.
