NEW YORK, July 1.-The course of to-
days stock market was one of aimless
drifting until near the close when some ap-
pearance of animation and strength devel-
oped throughout the list This was doubt
less in part due to the covering demand by
belated shorts who did not care to leave
their contracts open over the three days
holiday. The buying at the close lifted
prices to the top level, net gain extending
to over a point in exceptional cases. Dur
ing the earlier part of the day the market
was almost stagnant. many active stocks
showing not single quotation. 1t looked
very much as though even the closing up
of contracts incident to the eve of three
days suspension of trading had all been
completed yesterday and there was no dis
position to venture upon fresh commit
ments on account of the conflicting posi-
bilities in the outlook. On the part of the
bears there was to be feared the effect
of the probable fall of Santiago or the occu-
patton of Manila. The possibility of seri-
GUS harm to the crops at this critical stage
deferred operators from engagements on
the long side. There is still some doubt
felt as to how the money market will come

total value of probably $4,000. The direct
ors say that the association was obliged to
stop lowing to troubles that have arisen
the last year In Reading among many
building associations and the large amount
of property thrown upon the market owned
by these associations has largely depre-
ciated their value. The confidence of the
stockholders has been diminished to such
an extent that 1t is impossible to collect
the dues, and the association therefore finds
itself unable to meet the demands upon

Der advanced cents, selling at 7O%c. There
were a good many reactions on the way up

cited. One important reason for strength
was the great desire of shorts to cover
pending the three days vacation in con-

conditions and the possibility of a wild
bulge in the meantime. Speculation was
curtailed by the working of the

Dun g. Co.'s Review

NEW YORK, July 1.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade will say tomor-
row:
The second quarter of the year closes
with more encouraging returns. Failures

6.2 per cent nigh have been expected from
experience of the past ten years, but with
that allowance difference of only $3,500,0 600
can be charged to war and fears of war,
whereas solvent payments through clear
ing houses for the quarter were over 49,
600.000000. In the very best years defaults
range from an eighth to a fifth Of per cent
of such payments. and In bad times from
a third to half of per cent or more, but
this year the proportion Is less than fifth.
The quarterly statement given today shows
an aggregate of 1874, 49S075, which Is smaller
than in the second quarter of any year
since 1890 except one, and the average of
liabilities, default to firms In business and

also smaller than in any year except one
of the past seven years.

Our Trade With the Orient

At this time, when SO much is being
said and written concerning the trade of
the far east 1t Is worth considering what
there is likely to be in it for the United
States In case this country decides to take
an energetic part in the developing of an
outlet that part of the world for Amer
lean goods. An important aid to the in
quring mind, says Bradstreets, is found In
the latest monthly issue of the bureau of
statistics of the treasury department,
which publishes number of tables de-
signed to show the total imports of all
sorts into China and the portion sent
thereto by the United States, thus point
ing out directions in which a trade shown
to be rapidly extending may be still fur
Their increased The total imports of all
kinds into China in 1895, according to this
publication, were Sill 900 in value, of
which cotton goods constituted $64, 000 900,
or about 81 per cent.
In the direction of opium and rice i'm
ports, of course. there Is little to expect,
but these two imports only make up $780,,
900 worth of the total trade, or about
70 per cent. OF mineral oils, Chinese i'm
ports In 1896 were valued a. So ,751 900. those
of iron and steel a $1,000 900, and those of
wooden goods, machinery, raw cotton,
-four and ginseng made up a total of near
ly $12.0O0.000. When it is stated that the
exports from this country to China in 1896
amounted to less than 81 900 ,O01 la value,
or only about per cent, some idea may be
had of the possibilities confr onting tho
American exporter in that plrt of Asia.
