FEW BUSINESS FAILURES.
Trade Is Reported Dull After "a Pros
porous Six Months.

Bradstreet's views the trade situation
thus: Business is usually dull at this
season, and this year no exception to the
general rule is remarked. a review of
the last six months, however, gives little
comfort to pessimists. Bank clearings
it is true, are smaller by about ii per
cent. than they were in the first half OF
1899; but railway earnings are about III
per cent. larger, and business failures, as
reported to Bradstreets, are the fewest
reported for eighteen years back. Win
ter wheat has about all been harvested
in the Southwest, and the yield there has
been very large. Wheat, including flour,
shipments for the week, aggregate
3.OlS, S32 bushels, against 3,1S4,144 bush
els last week and 3, 15S.9T2 bushels in the
