Dun's review shows that there has
been a striking improvement in the
record of the business failures for
July 1901, as compared with those of
the same month in 1900. There were
697 failures in the month this year,
with liabilities in the aggregate
amounting to $7,O35,933 as against 1893
with an Indebtedness of $9,771,775 in
the month a year ago. This is fair
indication of the general betterment
in business conditions. Trade was &C
tive last year, but it Is still more -four
ishing this year, and it is on a more
solid basis. The country never was in
a more prosperous condition than that
in which it finds itself at this moment.

The stock of gold in the United
States treasury is now the largest in
the history of the government, being
$5O4, 354,297, an increase since July 1
year ago of $S1 100000. This is a
strong contrast with the condition of
the treasury only about seven years
ago, when it was about at the vanish
ing point. AS matter of fact at that
critical moment a number of sub
treasures were hastily called upon to
remit by express what gold they had
to New York, resulting in $12,0O0,00O
being forwarded. If any considerable
part of this amount had miscarried or
been delayed twentyfour hours the
government would have been COMPEL
ed to have defaulted in it's demand
gold payments for the time being at
least.

Street Car Traffic Interfered with by
Settling Near Mayfield Yard.

There was quite a spread yesterday
OF the cavc-in. near Maytield yard,
which was reported in The Tribune of
Saturday.
The settling is about 1900 feet north
of the curve at Mayfield yard. 1t runs
along under the tracks for about forty
feet. and yesterday it extended to the
roadway, involving about ten feet for
the whole distance. When the first ear
was run to this city Yesterday, the hole
was found to have increased so since
saturday that the rails sagged to such
an extent as to prevent the passage of
the car. The hole was about twenty
feet deep, and required between sixty
and seventy tons of dirt and stone to
I'LL il. After n half days work the road
bed was placed in shape for travel.
The workings underlying the cave-in
are part Of the Erie mine openings and
have been abandoned some time The
robbing of pillars is attributed as the
cause of the settling,

Councils in joint session last night,
dispoScd of two important contracts.
The contract for supplying coal to tn"
city for the coming year was given to
John Booth, who, however. was not
the lowest bidder.
y. q. Moran. whose bid for coal was
apparent though it was the lowest.
was considered responsible enough by
the same Councilmcn who voted
against him earlier in the session. to
undertake q sewer contract, which in
VOWED work and was given the work
OF constructing the sewer on seventh
ay"nuc. from High street to Wayne
street. His bid was Az cents per lincal
foot.
NJ T. Glnartn was awarded the
contract for building II short sewer on
Ninth avenue, near South Main street.
His bid was considerably lower than
the others. Al. cents per lineal foot.
The bids on the sewers were:
Seventh avenue--P. q. Moran. AZ
cents per liueul foot; Thomas l>illeen,
9J cents.
Ninth aNcnuc--P. e.. Moran. 7iia
cents: Thomas kiilcen, 50 cents; NJ. r..
Glmartin. 47 cents.
Coal Bids Warmly Discussed.
There was Il warm discussion follow"
ing the committees report ON the coal
bids. which was in favor of John
Booth
tn" bids WerN as follows:
Delaware and Hudson company
it%g, stove or chestnut. S2.75: pea coal.
80. This was the price per ton at the
chutCS. delivered. the price was 80
'"nts more per ton for either size.
John Booth--Snme price as the Della
ware ana Hudson. delivered
T. G. Moran-- Stove, egg or chestnut,
S3.lS, pea coal. $2.3t delivered.
AS WI! hc readily observed. Moran :
bid was cents lower than Booths on
pea coal ana cents lower on the larg-
er sizes. The building committee how
ever. recommended in favor OF Booth.
When Mr. Nealon pointed out that it
seemed an injustice to make the city
pay six cents more ON one size and
seven cents on the other for identically
the same kind of coal. Mr. stone of the
committee, and Mr. Fletcher later indi-
Gated that in their opinion Mr.. Booth
WAS the more responsible of the two
or AT least thnt they did not care TO
take chances with amy party outside
of him.
Mr., Nealon moved to reject the COM
mlttec'S recommendation, but it was
defeated by AN overwhelming vote. /.
TO I. Messrs. Barrett, Mannlon. Neal
Ion. LOTUS and Kennedy voted in favor
OF Moran.
Later, half hour afterwards, when
