NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The London mar
ket was closed today Trade reports for
the week were conflicting.
Before the opening of the Stock Ex-
change the leading topic discussed was the
announcement that prominent bankers in
this country would cooperate with the
Bank of England in receiving subscriptions
for the new issue of s10, 000,0 900 British
eXohequer three years. 3 per cent bonds
What effect will be produced In the Stock
Market by the American subscriptions Is
not yet plain. The transactions are ex-
pected TO involve the shipments of $40, 000,-
coo to $40, 600, 600 of gold.
AS the payments are distributed over
three months no local disturbance in mon
ely is apprehended. 1t would not be sur
prising if somewhat higher rates prevailed
but the domestic money current is now
/ floating this way in heavy volume.
The market this morning opened quiet
and firm. Strength was shown by st. Paul,
Burlington and Quincy, and Union Pacific.
! The market was without pronounced fea-
ture in the early dealings. partly owing to
| the absence of many traders from the
| Street

DUN's REVIEW OF TRADE.
Larse Increase in Business Failures
Over Last Year.

LnrEe Increase in Business Failures
Over Last Year.
NEW YORK, Aug 4.-Dun's weekly re-
view OF trade today says;
Failures by branches of trade during
July, given in detail today, show a total
of 1913 commercial concerns. with aggre-
gate liabilities of s9,771,7 55, and four
banking defaults for 1901, 0G0. There were
manufacturing failures, 1S3. with Habili-
ties of SIS, III, $50. and trading, $50, with
So 324 366 liabilities The total shows a
heavy increase in comparison with the cor
responding month last year, which is main
~ due TO phenomenally sound conditions
existing at that time, when the amount Of
liabilities was the smallest, with one ex-
ception in any month Of the eighty-two
covered by these returns.
Moreover, about 20 per cent of the large
total in manufactures last month occurred
in three branches of business, and eleven
concerns were responsible for the bulk OF
these liabilities, SO that most classes con-
tfnue to enjoy prosperity and trading re-
lations are exceptionally encouraging. At
ter withstanding the severe fall in prices
for six months, large iron and steel firms
gave up the fight in July, and there were
heavy failures in the lumber and building
trades.
1T is often hard to read encouraging
symptoms of general business in declining
prices of commodities, but just now it is
reasonable to look for them. Some raw
materials and some manufactured products
one stage removed from the raw are SELL
ing at lower prices than at any time since
last years advance set IN, but there is
confidence among buyers that the down
ward swing is nearly over, while sellers
are adopting a cautious policy, which, I'M
til recently, characterized the attitude OF
buyers.
''The business being done is not of the
kind that at once shows in bank clearings
which for New York are PSI per cent, and
for thirteen other leading cities ii per
cent below last year for the week, and
strikes have led to further shutting down
of factories, while others are threatened
| unless efforts at wage settlements sue
coed Business has now what seems a
| substantial basis of prices to work upon in
| lines where that has long been lacking

notified by Chairman Simmons that he
has forwarded them. From what a Times
reporter could learn, the Commission viii
refer the charges and afTidarits to the
heads of the various departments under
whom the offending officials are employed.
The charges as contained in the above
affidavit ii is said, come under the execu-
tive order which forbids partisan activity
by officehoiders, and therefore the Civil
Service Commission, it is claimed, has no
jurisdiction in the matter.

The bank statement was good. thong

The bank statement was good, though
the increase in cash was not as great as
anticipated One particular feature which
might be noted is the steady increase of
circulation. This, Of course, is accounted
for principally by the circulation taken out
by the newly organized institutions. After
the appearance OF the bank statement, the
market lapsed into dulIness but there was

Oil on Troubled Waters.

George Hons poured oil on the troubled
waters, and urged the delegates to hold
together and rot split on their differ
ences. He did not question the motive
OF the committee which presented the re-
port. They did IT with the best inten-
tons.
Judge Smith answered to the best of
his ability. He expressed himself as be-
Ing clear of any sinister motive in MAX
ing up the report. He was sincere in his
belief that the report was for the good OF
the party and that was his reason for
backing IL so strongly. He thought ii
would give the natives and foreigners
alike wider privilege. The statements
made Mr.. Humphreys of conversations
had with Lorrin Andrews, as he under
stood the situation, he could not refute
as he was not present when the CONVEX
sation took place.
Enoch Johnson declared that If the Ha-
waiians We're to be disfranchised by the
rules he would secede and form an in
dependent Republican party. He spoke
with energy and conviction.
The motion to lay article 2 on the table
was then voted upon and lost.
1t was moved to leave articles 2 and
in the hands of a committee of thirteen
lost. j. ID. Paris thought the convention
should take what Is good in the report
and discard the bad, even though pre-
pared by the devil himself" He regret
ted the race prejudices which had been
brought into play. He made a patriotic
speech which placed the delegates in
good humor. G.. Il. Wilson believed as
