DECREASE IN FAILURES.
Falling on OF &c Per Cent. for tho
Half or 1900.

New York, July 3.-R. G. Dun d Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
For the first half of 1899 failures
were 1852, against 6,766 last year, with
liabilities of $4S, I'll 900, against $71,-
GAG, 7S2 last year.
The demand for iron and steel seema
to have no limit. Scarcity of pig has
raised the price 81 per ton for local
mer at Pittsburg and $1.75 to S17.75
for grey forge and rs cents to 1925
for anthracite No. 1 at Philadelphia,
with some iron selling above those quo
tations at all points for early delivery.
Efforts to get foreign contracts out
of the way are met by fresh orders
from Europe at last weeks prices.
Some furnaces have started with con-
tracts for their whole years product,
but others are yet delayed. Prices OF
pig average higher than at any other
time since February, 1890, and prices
of finished products ere higher than
since March, 1891. Billets are hardly
obtainable, bar and plate orders are
refused quite largely because the
works are overcrowded, sheet mills
having much stronger demand at the
west, and structural works report 49,
300 tons required in two new eastern
contracts.
Another industry passes all records.
boot and shoe shipments from the east
being 400,s13 cases, exceeding those in
any other month of any year for four
weeks, and the demands for speedy
delivery show enormou distribution
in all directions. New orders are large
and several months ahead. Wool sales
were &c, 179, 900 pounds, of which 3d.
B65, 900 were domestic and reveal a
speculation scarcely less obtruslve
than in 1897, when II, 197 900 pounds
were sold in the same weeks, against
3 ,76S, 200 in 1892, when the mills were
well employed. Cotton mills are doing
well in spite of the fall in cotton, as
the demand gives them enough to do
at current prices and weak spots in the
trade are defended by the agreement
between Fall River mills.
Failures for the week have been ISL
in the United States, against 254 last
year, and 22 in Canada, against Is last
year.

rouncement that 10000 volunteers were TO

STRIKE NOT LIKELY TO SPREAD
General Walkout I'm Chicago Pack
ing Houses Not Probable,

Chicago, July 3.-Pract'cally all Of
the packing houses were in the mar
ket today buying hogs for packing
purposes and there were few evidences
around the yards Of Il strike. A gen
cral walkout Of the packing house en-
ployes, which was contemplated for
tomorrow unless a general adjustment
of the wage question was had with the
packers, will not take place for a few
days, if at all. Several secret meet
ings were held by the strikers today to
discuss the advisability of taking ac-
ton looking toward a general strike.
II was the generally expressed opinion
that if the order for Il walkout were
postponed for "A few days chances for
success would be much better, as in
the meantime nm organization could
be perfected. Many Of the employees
strongly argued against any further
extension Of the strike at the present
time.

New jersey Finds Defect In
Canal Company's Articles.

Trenton, n. j. June 2~9.-Attorney
General Gray has filed an opinion with
the secretary of state advising him to
refuse articles of incorporation to the
American Isthmus Ship Canal com
pany. The articles provided for a cap
ital Of $50, 100000, with a provision that
1t might be increased to $3.50, 100000 by
q vote of the holders of three-fourths
of the capital stock. This proviso con-
ficts with a New Jersey statute which
gives the holders of two-thirds of the
capital stock power to increase the
capital. The secretary of state will re-
turn the papers to the company. The
company proposes to build a ship canal
across the Isthmus of Panama. The
incorporators are New Jersey men.
