BRADsTREET ON THE WEEK.
Encouraging Outlook Presented b.
the First Six Months of 1900.

NEW YORK, July G.-Bradstreets to-
| morrow will say:
Business is usually dull at this sea-
son. and this year no exception to the
general rule is to be remarked. A le-

It is true, are smaller by about II per
cent than they were in the first half of
1899, but railway earnings are about 10
per cent larger.
Business failures as reported to Brad
streets are the fewest reported for eight
cen years back, with liabilities of failing
traders the smallest. with one exception,
and that last year, since 1892. While the
past reveals conditions SO satisfactory, it
Is encouraging to know that the future
outlook, though clouded somewhat by some
uncertainty as to the crop outlook, con-
tains many encouraging FIXTURES.
Winter wheat has about all been har-
vested in the Southwest, and the yield
there has been very large. Copious rains
in the Northwest, too, have apparently
worked some Improvement, judging from
the more cheerful tone OF advices received
thence this week. These reports and the
feeling that the crop damages stories have
been overdone slightly, coupled with
liquidation. is responsible for the lower
range of values this week.
Raw cotton has been rather irregular
this week Some improvement in crop ad
vices is to be noted, but the main interest
centres in the efforts of the overgrown
shortage to cover on the old crop deliv-
cries. Present prices for the raw cotton
are not attractive, in view of the reduced
quotations for cotton goods, and shut
down of the Fall River print cloth industry
has been recommended by the manufac-
turers committee. Wool is dull.
I'm manufacturing lines dizziness and
weakness are most marked in products OF
iron and steel. Talk of an effort by the
great combinations to control prices in the
latter industry is heard, but In the almost
total lack of new business the basic ma
terial, pig iron, weakens steadily, with
some authorities predicting 25 per cent re-
duction from present purely nominal
prices, which are not attracting buyers.

calculations In this respect for the future.
Stocks have been growing a little
stronger, and for good reasons. Men have
been observing the steadiness and the large
increase in the earning power OF railroads.
The earnings thus far reported on United
States roads alone in half of 1900 have been
$685., 254 $50. which is 1873 per cent more
than the same roads earned last year, and
EOS per cent more than they earned the
year before. The average gain in prices
of railroad stocks last week was II cents

NEW YORK, July Notwithstanding
the influence exer;ed against today's stock
market by the unsettled conditions pre-

vices, appeared 10 be no less disquetiug
than heretofore.
The local market, however. appeared to
be again governed by the satisfactory re-
suits of yesterdays proceedings in the
Democratic Convention, that is, from Wall
Streets political viewpoint. In addition,
the measures being taken looking toward
a better organization in the iron and steel
trades carried their logical influence. and
the several gratifying statements of rail-
way traffic submitted were to the same eff
feet.
the market underwent general and sud
den reaction. probably on account of tech
nical trading conditions and also by rea-
son of the uneasiness excited by the pros
poets Cor the nomination of a Vice Presi-
dental candidate of less radical proclivi-
ties than was accounted desirable. Ihis
contingency put something of a quie;us
upon the trading, both in respect 10

was virtual suspension of activity pend

the situation in Kansas City.
The market continued dull and with
sagging tendency throughout the afternoon.
The sharp advance in wheat toward the
close was attended by unfavorabie weather
news from the West, and also by heavy
selling particularly in the granger stocks
ana that quarter. The reactions-y tendency
OF the market was general, although the
declines scored outside of few instances
were not particularly severe.

DuN's REVIEW OF TRADE.
aggregate Liabilities in Iron Fail
ures Surprisingly Small.

NEW YORK. July 6.-Dun's tomorrow
will say:
Failures in the first half of 1860 were
1852, with liabilities of s100,57O,13 There
were 80 failures OF banks and financial
corporations for SIS, 800, es2, leaving 1892
commercial failures, with liabilities of s74,-
74T, 457
Had it been predicted that the vast iron
industry would be thrown from unprece-
dented activity into great depression, with
many works closed ana prices reduced
fully a quarter with failures amounting
in all TO but 100000. 1t would have been
thought impossible Yet the six failures in
that department for the last quarter were
in all for SOS, 935, though Bessemer pig
has fallen from SIS to SIS. and plates from
81 TO Is cents, and the average for iron
and steel products 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 to arrange wages
are progressing. Similar difficulties occur
at this season In other industries, but with
email prospect now Of serious embsrrass.

There was an irregular time In oats, a

alarmed by the corn experience. There

under corn is SO large that in any corn

in saying the foreign demand for lard was
