Better than English Goods.

There seems to be probabilit that, In
addition to the other classes of manutac-
tured goods in which this country is sue
cessfully competing with foreign manu-
facturers for the trade of their own coun-
tries, bleached cottons will soon be added.
A hundred sample cases Of these goods
have just been shipped from New York TO
Manchester, and negotiations are now on
foot for the purchase Of large ccnsign-
ments for the English trade. Heretofore
cotton goods have been exported on
small scale to England through New YORK
export brokers'. Now, however. the at
tention Of British importers has been
drawn to American goods, not only De-
cause they are cheaper, but also because
they are found to be far superior to Eng
lsh manufacturers of the same weight.
The American goods are made of firmer
twisted yarn than the English, and are
without the filling, which, while making
the material smooth and of good appear
ance, causes it to wear badly and to lack
the strength of the American goods. line
market for bleached cotton in this coun-
try has frequently been overstocked, ana
should the present experiment result IN

to keep the mills continually running ana
to prevent the periodical running on halt
time and discharge of mill workers, which
has led to so much misery and discomfort.

Bradstreet Sees Many Reasons for En-
coura cement in the Outlook.
Bradstreet's commercial report says:
"a large measure of activity in business
and industrial lines, with, in some in
stances, previous records surpassed and
very general steadiness in prices of sta
pies, is perhaps the most notable feature
of the trade situation this week. Quota
tons of cereals show the most aggressive
strength, while those of some makes Of
pig iron betray rather niece decided weak
ness than they did n week ago. Mild
weather is frequently mentioned rs an in
huence tending to check retail distribu-
ton of seasonable goods, chiefly because
Of the effect on country roads. Spring
trade opens slowly, as usual at this time
of the year, but confidence is still amin
paired. AS already intimated, the i'm
mense current production of pig iron,
amounting to fully 100000 tons a
month, has begun to exercise an influence
upon the price of that staple, but de-
creases reported are still only fractional.
The outlook in the steel rail trade is re-
ported as Il fiattering one. Quite shrink
age in cereal exports is indicated by re-
ports this week. Total shipments Of
wheat, -four included, from the United
States and Canada amounted to only 81
126, 600 bushels, against 5,229,O GOO BUSH
els last week. Indian corn exports also
show a heavy falling off, amounting to
only 1886, 900 bushels this week, against
A,461 0OO bushels last week.

The arrival of 81, $50 barrels of Ameri-

Of 1896 in the United States was large
and the prices were low. American ap-
pies were sent in great quantities to Ger
many, and created taste. The crop or
1897 was small and the prices were high,
but the German taste demands them even
with the increased cost. The German
newspapers are sounding the alarm. Ihey
