Ter, typewriting expert, who testified

swore the two upper paragraphs were
not on the paper when she signed II

BENEFIT IRON BUSINESS.
ANOTHER ACTIVE SEASON
PREDICTED BY Dun.
Existing Embarrassed Conditions

Impossible a Year Ago.

New York, July s.-R. C. Dun & Co.'S

were thirty failures q! banks and financial

Had It been predicted that the vast iron
industry would be thrown from unprece-
dented activity into great depression. with
many works closed and prices reduced fully
a quartz. with failures amounting in all TO
$4,000. it would have been thought impos-
sible. Yet the six failures in that DEPART
meDt for the last quarter were in all for
S.S925. though Bessemer pig has fallen
from SIS TO SIS. and plates from 81 to Is
cents. and the average for iron and steel
irod, cts has declined just % per cent since
January 10.
Some further decline is now expected
before things are adjusted for another ac-
tive season, and efforts 10 arrange wages
are progressing.
The Fail River committee has decided to
close their cotton mills Tor time, and some
OF the largest WOODEN works have been
closed or much reduced in force.
Leather and Cotton.
A large share OF the boot and shoe indus
try is inactive. and no change in prices has
resulted since those OF some weeks ago,
which, according 10 later accounts. were
made by fewer of the manu- scturers than
was at the time believed.
Cotton has reached lQi2 cents. with a wide

the next Yield cannot be determined so
early as this. Because II is late the crop IL

weather. which have compelled great

There IS more cotton than the world viii
lures fairly. and the shrinkage OF demands
for goods here ana abroad helps. especially
the uncertainty as TO Chinese demand. But
the market is In the humOr TO make the
most OF every uncertainty regarding the
crop.
The crop year for grain is over and the
outward movement OF wheat has not been
stopped. although somewhat diminished by
the vagaries In prices.
Wheat and Corn.
While exact figures for the year viii not
be known for some days 10 come. they DIFF
fer very little from 4o1tc.O00 b.. OF wheat
and corn together. which was almost eN-
actly the quantity exported last year. while
in 1855 II was slightly larger. 1t is now
asked by the most conservative whether
Indian corn has not at last cTept into such
favor in place of other grain that larger
quantity Of II will be required hereafter.
