IS THE STRIKE WEAKENING?

Present appearances indicate that
the steel strike is likely to result in !
failure The officials of the Amalga- |
mated association are every day show
ing greater willingness to bring
about settlement of the differences,
while the corporation seems to be quite
content to let matters take their course
On one side anxiety and uneasiness are
everywhere apparent; on the other
there is every day greater show of
confidence.
No one will regret to see the strike
ended, though many will deplore the eff
feet complete victory by the trust
will have in lessening the strength of
organized labor. Yet from the first it
has been difficult to see how the strike
could have any other ending. In order
found it necessary to violate contracts
made in good faith. This in itself was
enough to make it impossible that the
strikers should attract sympathy from
that mitigated against the association
was that there was no claim that its
men were nnderpaid or overworked.
It asked for no increase of wages or
shortening of hours. The dispute
hinged solely on points of principle
that, from all that can be learned from
the meager reports given the public,
might have been brought up year
hence with q better show of success.
If the strike fails it will result in a
loss of prestige for the Amalgamated
association that it will not he easy for
it to survive. 1t will give the steel
trust far firmer grip on the labor sit.
uation, and at very small cost, for it
is more than probable that what the
officials back of the combine have los,
by the tie-up they have made by oper
ations on the stock market in anticipa
ton OF the trouble. But the struggle
will not be without its good results tt

FAILURES FOR JUNE.
Large I'm Number, But the Liabilities
Not EXcessfye.

Reports OF failures to r. c.. Dun & Co.
for the month of June have been some
what heavier than in the three preceding
months and the same month in the two
preceding years, but prior to 1899 last
months liabilities would have been con-
sidered extremely light.
In manufacturing the total was s. SIS, ,S17
larger than last year, but a few unusual
disasters account for the difference. De
preston in the cotton manufacture, due
to Overproduction of goods from high
priced raw material, had almost passed
away without bringing any serious fail
ures, and the fact had been IL entioned as
remarkable in connection with earlier re-
ports. One large concern, however. proved
unable to bear the strain quite long
enough and its debts account for prac-
tically all of the June figures, which ex-
ceed the same month of any recent year
In other textile lines also the months
record is not pleasing, but since the new
fiscal year has brought definite improve
ETent In these branches of manufacture
there is every reason to expect no fur
ther large assignments.
Few failures occurred among liquor and
cigar makers. but two large breweries
furnished liabilities of about S450,0o0 Lit
tie alteration appears in the trading losses
as compared with the two previous good
years. but defaults were much lighter
than IN any June prior to 1893.
Liabilities of failures in leading branch
es of business in June are compared be-
low with last year:

BRADsTREET's ON THE WEEK.
Business Affected by the UnfavOr-
able Crop Conditions.


NEW YORK, July 12.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow viii say:
Varying commercial and Industrial
conditions make it difficult to strike In
sentence the keynote of general trade for
the week. In the East business appears
to be of a midsummer character, while
in the Southwest conditions have been
adversely affected by drought ana hot
weather reports. which superinduced u
tendency on the part of many to cancel
orders previously given. In the North
west, on the contrary, business seems to
be quite active as the result of excellent
crop conditions, and credit is reported
being freely granted. but in the middle
West the tenor of trade is apparently
steady. while in the South ordinary con-
ditions are noted.
But for the week the more important
developments seem TO have been the
rampant speculation in corn and oats due
to reports OF exceedingly heavy damage
In the Mississippi Valley belt. the nerv-
BUSINESS of the stock market, and a some
what troubled railway rate situation. to-
gether with more favorable feeling in
labor circles. The crop reports to the
Agricultural Department point to d re-
duction of 10000 acres. or O.5 per cent,
with lowered condition as compared
with July year ago. and as a result
the statisticians are figuring on a crop of
only 2.G9S,GG300 bushels which may be re-
garded as somewhat above the probable
yield, If account be taken of the condi-
tion as compared with the average of the
season last year
The condition of Writer wheat SEEM
ingly improved during June and on July
l was well above that for the same date
last year. Spring wheat also shows an
improvement for June, and its condition
on July ! was much above that for the
corresponding date in 1900. For the wheat
crop as whole total of 704, ,3S0, go bush
els is fglred out.

crossing slowly, but other plants have

a similar state of affairs IN the market

very little demand for stocks. while on
the other hand there was strong pressure
brought to bear on certain issues. Chief
of these were American Can stocks. which

The Steel strike situation is one of the
least OF the bear arguments at present.
IT seems entirely probable that Mr. MOT
gan will settle with the strikers on thtlT
own terms or by a compromise in the
near future. He has too many irons IN
the fire at present to allow big strike
and when some of them are out or the
way he can lower wages and make other
economies. If he sees mt. with little refer
ence to what he does now. The Steel Sc
curities look fairly attractive at the mo
ment. The Iron Age comes out with
the opinion that iron and steel prices are
likely to recede gradually from their pres
ent level. Some. recession from the big
prosperity wave in the steel trade is no.
in the least improbable. especially if the
crops this year are not good. And il should
be borne in mind that the Steel Trust will
need prosperity all the time to continue
its dividend on the common stock. How
ever, the Steel stocks are selling at low
prices, and seem reasonably entitled 10
some rally. Careful people viii not sell
them short and some people undoubtedly
will be willing to gamble on the fair
chance that they may have a good ad-
vance from their present level
Louisville and Nashville was one of the
weak stocks yesterday for the two alleged
reasons that the cotton crop ia in danger
and that there was much disappointment
over the failure of the directors of the
company tC increase the dividend on the
stock. The directors are said to haV.
made the statement to friends that the
uncertainty Of the cotton croD caused
them to continue the old rate when there
has been much discussion OF a larger dis
bursement. Louisville looks to many 10
be a fair purchase around its present
level 1t touched 1901 Yesterday, and re-
covered well. The company is earning
much more than the dividend it is pay
ord for last year, and its outlook is good,
despite the cotton crop scare. The line
has diversified business in which cotton
freiSEts are only a small part. And,
moreover. the cotton crop scare is not
very good one on which to base anXi-
ton crop Is quite as good, II not better,
than a big one for the railways. as il
keeps up prices of cotton and makes the
farmers prosperous, whereas a big crop
is often little better than calamity
1t is said to be entirely probable that
the Big Four will be absorbed by the New
York Central. The increase of the divi-
dend rate on Big Four common stock to
per cent per annUm is a bullish argu-
ment
Sugar was one of the frmer stocks yes
terday. 1t sold off to 1876 and fraction
but later recovered fairly well. The
stock Is one of the few as to the future
OF which careful people express bullish
views. The company is earning more at
the present time than it ever did before.
