TRADE CONDITIONS.


New York, Aug. 3-Bradstreets'
says: Trade conditions still favor the
buyer; general fall demand, though
fair in view of the midsumer condi-
lions. is still below expectations and
below year ago; bank clearings are
at the lowest for two years past and
failures are slightly more numerous,
though no marked tendencies are per-
ceptible. On the other hand gross
railway earnings hold the percentage
of gain previously shown and where
prices are made low enough to salts
fy buyers heavy business is uncov-
cred and readily booked, pointing to
demand being still present and await
ing disposal. The crop situation, as
a whole, is better, the outlook as to
corn is for 2, 100, OO0, 900 bushel crop,
spring wheat is turning out better in
quality and quantity then expected,
and there has been an unquestionable
improvement in cotton crop condi-
tions. The yield of apples will be
the largest in many years, and fruits
generally are yielding literally and
commanding good prices.
The iron and steel industry fur
nishes the most notable example of
reduced prices inducing a heavy bust
ness, and, while the outlook is still
a confused one, the volume of trade
in finished material. notably bars and
plates. is very large. Foundry pig
iron has been in better demand, but
at concessions, and the drift of crude
prices generally is toward a lower
level.
The cereals are all lower this week,
partly on better crop reports, partly
on lower cables, but largely on the
growth of bearish feeling after the
late reaction.

rramways instead of Good Roads.

The engineers sent to Porto Rico to
report upon the roads needed there
reported that it would be cheaper and
better to build narrow-guage tram
ways, rather than to improve the
roads. In this way freight could be
hauled more cheaply than it could be
by farmers using wagons on the pres
ent roads. For, although the cost of
hauling goods may not be considered
by the average farmer, yet it is so
great that it is estimated in Maryland
alone the farmers lose $4,000, 900 year
because of the bad roads,
