TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report on last weeks
business Is as follows:
One looks in vain at this writing for
any evidence that the general business
of the country had been in any way
interfered with by the-for the time
involved-severest fail in prices in the
history OF the New York stock ex-
change. The general conclusion reach
ed is that, indeed, the conclusion is
purely stock panic" not involving
or connected with the general indus
tries of the country in any way. There
will not, in fact, be bushel of wheat
or ton of coal less in the country as
result of this convulsion. Specula-
tion in grain and other staples has,
however, been checked by the concen-
tration Of interest upon the stock mar
ket.
General trade advices this week are
in the main rather more favorable than
those of last week, mainly because of
the improvement in crop prospects, due
to seasonable rains following planting.
The lull in the active buying demand
for iron and steel noted last week is
mainly because mills and furnaces are
already heavily sold ahead, and large
consumers. having placed orders, are
| now awaiting delivery Bank clear
ings, swelled by enormous stock earn
| ings continue to show satisfactory in
creases, and failures are down to a
| normal minimum. The textiles are
still the soft spot in the general situa-
| ton and are still dull
The feature of the week in the crop
| situation is the arrival of rains
throughout the northwest, which has
placed the spring wheat crop, now
nearly all planted, in excellent condi-
| ton.
] In the southwest and central west
crop reports are generally good
Weather conditions on the Pacific coast
are most favorable for crops. and a
good yield Of grain Is indicated.
Failures for the week number 1873
compared with 163 last week, 1s4 in
this week a year ago, 164 in 1899 and
250 in 1898.
| Canadian failures for the week mum
Der 26, against II last week, 10 in this
week year ago, 81 in 1899, 25 in 1895
