TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report of trade for last
week follows
Hot weather, holidays and stock TAX
ing, the first named in particular, have
limited trade in the period under re-
view and caused a practical suspension
in industrial activity in many cities.
Against this seemingly unfavorable
feature, however, is to be noted the
fact that a good business has been done
in all kinds of seasonable products at
retail, and the check to trade at whole
sale has been largely a postponement,
rather than actual elimination of posi-
BILE business. The crop situation has on
the whole improved, and corn and cot
ton, the two leading crops most in ques-
tion at present have gained some of
the ground lost early in the season by
cold weather. The wheat crop is GER
tainly in a favorable condition, because
harvesting has gone forward rapidly.
and prices on the whole have been quite
satisfactory.
Corn shows the heaviest advance for
many weeks or for years past on re-
ports of dry, hot weather damage, aid
ed, however by speculative manipula-
ton and a fairly good export business.
Wheat is lower on liquidation, induced
by good crop reports, and despite con-
firmation of the heavy deficit in the
German crop, the poor French crop and
of the short yield in other countries in
Europe. Oats are higher owing to the
reports for domestic crop prospects.
Hog products were strong earlier, but
broke and finished lower on the week
on liquidation, caused by bear raids.
The feature in the retail trade last
week has been the very large distribu-
ton in all classes of summer goods,
induced by the hot spell. Wholesale
distribution has been comparatively
limited, but it is to be noted that west
ern jobbers have experienced good
reasserting demand, based on hot
weather conditions. The textile situa-
tion is fully as favorable as a week ago.
The boot and shoe trade is in good
shape.
June failures were the smallest of
any this year, but liabilities were
swelled by a few heavy suspensions of
banks, and were the heaviest for more
I1dn q yCdl past IlO III
creased volume of business in the past
two years the six months record is a
favorable one, as the total number of
failures for the year was 4,465, with
liabilities of $50, 1873, 1862 and assets of a
little less than one-half this amount.
Wheat (including -four shipments
for the week aggregated 1881, 639 bush
els.

worlds Gold Output.

Regarding the worlds output and
Engineering and Mining Journal OBJ
serves:
The unfavorable result was due to
the small contribution made by the
Transvaal mines, a few only of which
were operated during the early months
of the year. Deducting the Transvaal
output from the grand totals for 1899
and 1900 the statistics show an in
crease in the other gold-producing
countries of $10,717000. The largest
gains were made by United States, Can
ada, Rhodesia and Brazil, while in
Australia and China there were import
ant decreases.
''In one respect the gold situation in
1900 was unprecedented 1t has never
before happened that the output of a
great gold producing country has been
suddenly cut off entirely, or almost en-
tirely. The Transvaal which produced
$7S,070,761 in gold in 1898, was expect.
ed to yield over $4,000. 900 in 1899 and
$110, 100000 in 1900. The war broke
out in October 1899, and the total for
that year was $72,961 sol, while in 1900
the only production was from the two
mines which were operated by the gov
eminent in the opening months of the
year, and this work was stopped when
the British armies reached Johannes
burg Instead of $110000,0O0 the
Transvaal appears in our table for only
s7,20S, 1863
"The United States, which in 1895
ranked third among the great gold-pro
ducing countries. in 1900 showed G
substantial increase, which with the
limitation of the Transvaal, put it in
first place in 1900. Australia dropped
from first place to second place, while
Canada took the third rank, though a.
long interval, and Russia the fourth
place. These four countries produced
1872 per cent of the total"

DIR. j. w. watt Is Dead.

Portland, July DIR. j. w. Watt,
who was a presidential eleetor of the re-
publican ticket in 1876, died at his home
in Lafayette. DR.. Watt came into great
prominence from the fact that Governor
Grover of Oregon, a democrat, refused to
issue a certificate to him on the ground
that he was a fourth class postmaster at
the time of his election. For a time it
was thought that the election of president
of the United States hinged on Watts
vote.
