-IHE SITUATION. .PAsl AND PRIsENI

The situation Is briefly this. In 1895
the term of Anthony Higgins expired
and for two years the State Legisla-
ture failed to elect. Finally, in 1897

fourth of March next In 1899 the
term Of George Gray expired, and
again the Legislature failed to "a act.

DISTRIBUTION is GOOD
WHOLESALE AND RETAIL BUSINESS
ARE ALIKE ACTIVE.
Efec of the Strike ON Prices
and FoOtwcar-SOuthern Finances.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1G.-R. G. Dun *
will say:
The distribution OF merchandise has pro-
ceeded this week on a steady and salts
factory scale throughout the East, and iii
the West and Southwest the relief from
the long drought and heat Is beginning to
be reflected in a larger retail trade, SO
tina for the quarter promise is held out
of a larger business than last year. Crop
conditions in the territory most affected
by the recent drought are improving. and
the weather has been highly favorable in
nearly all districts east of the Missouri
river. though rains have interrupted the
spring wheat harvest.
The steel strike has affected prices ex-
tensively. particularly on sales for imme-
date delivery: In tin plates the advance
skelp and billets are sold at premiums.
Quotations are too cratic for accurate
record, and in many cases sales are at
private terms. Confidence Is steadily
shown by placing of distant deliveries at
regular prices. Consumption has un-
doubtedly been further curtailed this
months, but a revival of exports tends TO
prevent accumulation.
New England boot and shoe factories
are still actively engaged. and the stabil-
York and Western shops are equally busy,
jobbers complaining OF slow deliveries.
This is the season OF greatest demand for
boots, and there is a fair volume of bust
ness. but each year a decrease in output
appears. Leather sells freely. but without
change in price, while slightly lower bids
for hides probably will secure large lots.
Wooden mills have full employment as a
rule and the increased consumption Of
raw material tends TO harden the tone of
the wool market. although no quotable
change Is possible.
Official figures of conditions were far
more hopeless than even the most pessim-
istic anticipations. indicating only about
two billion bushels of wheat and corn to-
gether. Inflated prices brought out re-
ceipts for the week of 2.359. 705 Blu. against
2.C52, 1893 last year. and reduced Atlantic
exports TO 631 SOC bu. compared with 1882, 1856
a year ago and 4.O34, 32 in 1899. Wheat also
advanced sharply, but there is sound argu-
ment for strength in Atlantic exports dur
ing the last two W aeks of 13.519,034 bu,
against 4.37S,9O1 in 1900 and 1866, $40 two
weeks ago. Cotton prospects have materi-
ally improved. and with average weather
during the next few weeks there is reason
to expect a yield equal TO, il not larger,
than the one preceding. Picking will be
about three weeks later than usual. and
the high wage and scarcity OF labor may
cause some loss. Financially the South is
in "A better position than ever before.
Failures for the week numbered 1853 in
the United States, against 16l last year,
and 10 in Canada. against "a last year.

CANNED GOODS SITUATION
Rendered Uncomfortable by the
Scarcity of Tin Plates.

NEW YORK, Aug. Is. - Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: "A Improvement alike
in tone and in demand is noted in trade cir
cles this week, and fall trade may be said
to have opened actively. While the most
optimistic reports come from the North
west, several large markets in the corn
belt send more cheerful reports, based
partly on a stnl further Improvement in
crop conditions, but likewise the result of
the growth of feeling that while the yields
of most crops will be smaller than last
year the prices paid for the same will be
higher and purchasing power of the agri-
cultural community, as a whole. VIII be
~unimpaired. Advances In wheat, corn,
oats and hog products support this view.
Weather and crop conditions In the North
west combine to give that section especially
generous yields and to stimulate Jobbing
demand in nearly all lines. Good crops in
the Pacific Northwest are also reported,
and the outlook for fall trade In that sec
ton is a cheerful one, the only flaw at
present being the strike confronting the
shipping interests at San Francisco. Fresh
vegetables and fruits and country products
are scarce and high in price. and canned
goods also tend higher. Southern trade
advices are marred by damage inflicted by
the severe storm of Wednesday and Thurs
Louisiana rice crop severely, but il is not
thought TO have hurt sugar or cotton very
much. Timely rains have improved cotton
in the Mississippi valley, and advices from
the South Atlantic States are of a heavy
yield.
In textiles il is to be noted that the
talk of a strike, with the necessarily cur
tailed production, has not strengthened
prints cloths. which are 3-16c lower on the
week. Wooden goods appear to be better
situated than those of cotton. and in raw
products the low and fine grades Of wool
are firm. with some tending upward. The
iron and steel strike shows little change.
but an interesting fact is that. despite the
lowered consumption growing out of the
strike, stocks Of pig iron are smaller than
they were a month ago on q comparatively
trifing decrease in production. Chicag go
iron interests are getting much business
diverted from Eastern markets by the
strike. Finished products affected by the
strike are very high, and the position of
canned-goods manufacturers, demand from
whom Is active. is rendered uncomfortable
by the scarcity of tin plates.
Wheat exports. including -four, for the
week aggregate 1904, 761 bu, as against
1882, 1919 bu last week and BIB, GAL bu i'm the
same week last year. Wheat exports from
July ] TO date aggregate 4.072, 1872 bu. as
against IL, 444. 946 bu last year. Corn exports
aggregate 50S, SO7 Blu. as against 800, ia bu
