Comments Mae on i'aiIures-Wheat and
Corn Declined In Price-Iron
and Wool Situation.

/ StfE DtSii..st IN l-fltt-lfOn
and Wool Situation.
New YORK, July S.-R. G. Dun &
| Co. S weekly review of trade issued to-
day said Ill part:
Failures of the first half of 1899, with
banking and financial included as in all
other accounts published, We're 1854
with liabilities Of S49,664 ,66l. Com
merclal failures were 1858, with lablli-
ties Of S42 1888, of wnich SIG, 723,
353 Were manufacturing and $23,011,-
SCI were trading. In the second quarter
failures Were the smallest ever reported
i'll that quarter of 20 years for which
quarterly reports have been made by
this agency. The average per failure,
S1,165, is the smallest ever known in
any quarter; the average per firm III
business, Sl2.20, and the ratio of de-
faulted liabilities TO solvent exchanges,
62 cents per 81 900, Are both the smallest
ever known i'll any quarter.
In ten out OF II branches of manufac-
turing, failures were smaller than in
the same quarter of four of the pre-
previous i've Years, and in 13 out of Il
trading branches. The large failures
for 100000 or more were only two in
trading for s224.0SS, less than tenth of
the smallest previous year, and only 10
IN all for @,4li. $50, from fifth to a
tenth OF previous years. The decrease
IN small failures is worth especial study.
Wheat declined q of cent. exports
being but : ESQ, ,02l bushels for the week,
flour included, against 2,643, 139 last
year, for both coasts, although western
receipts We're 1851, ,523 bushels, against
61S. last year. Corn exports arc
twice last years, 2,31S,70S bushels,
against l.20S, ,255 last year for the week,
and the price declined IA.
Scarcity and high prices of iron and
its products can no longer be reckoned
evidence of cool times In the She
mango valley six furnaces have been
stopped by IA strike for 20 per cent more
wages, and minor strikes are reported
at various iron works, the tinplate strike
being unsettled New orders reported
continue large, being evidently reported
week after week at different cities be-
cause not taken, but new orders accu-
mulatCd do NOT equal the output of the
works. Predictions of great scarcity of
pigiron have lifted the price still fur
ther to 9i.2 per cent Of the average
January, 1887, but several more fur
naces are going into operation and the
Illinois Steel company has contracted
for others of the largest capacity.
Textile manufactures are doing well,
with ID considerably better demand, but

r.uou. ola Gamblers.

In the latest history OF gambling in
England. Just published. there are
some astonishing revelations as to the
amount OF money won and lost by men
and women whose names are as IA
Lnillar as household words early in the
present century. There are records OF
100000 having been lost at sitting,
end the loss OF $4,000 appears TO have
been a very common occurrence.
A gambling story is told OF Charles
James Fox that rather reflects Oh his
honor. He was one OF the ardent ad-
mirers OF Mrs Crewe. u noted beauty
Of her day. and 1t Is related that gen
tieman lost considerable sum 10 this
lady at play. and. being obliged TO
leave town suddenly. gave Mr.. Fox the
money to pay her. begging him 10
apologize to her for his not having
paid the debt OF honor IN person. Fox
lost every shilling OF 1t before morn
ing. Mrs. Crewe often met the sup
posed debtor afterward. and. surprised
that he never noticed the circum-
stances. at length delicately limited the
matter to him.
"Bless mew said he. ~ paid the mon
ey to Mr.. Fox three months ago"
"Oh, did you, sir?" said Mrs. Crewe
good naturally. Then, probably, he
paid me, and forgot lt."-Boston Her

4 Gaze OF Confused Telepathy.
A very remarkable occurrence has
cen brought to my notice. Early last
7eek a we'll known lady, who shall be
lied Jones, dreamed ridiculous
ceam, as inconseQuential as most
reams are.
Mrs. Jones dreamed that dog Of
lerS had died and that she received an
official communication ordering her
either to cremate the remains or to her
self skin. the animal and throw the
body into the river. Mrs. Jones chose
the latter alternative, but having half
skinned the body and becoming tired
threw 1t as 1t was into the water. The
dog disappeared for an instant and
then reappeared On the surface alive.
nd swimming across to the opposite
oank trotted of, evidently in great suf-
fering. There ends the dream.
The next morning the postman
brought several letters. The first one
was addressed to Lewis Jones. Esq,
there being no such person-and ran
as follows: "Sir. your dog crossed the
river last night on to my property. but
being very severely injured 1t was
found necessary to kill It Should you
wish to have the collar. which bears
your name and address. l shall be hap
