DUN'S REVIEW.
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press.
New York, Aug. 31.-Dun says;
Even in cotton goods, the slowcst to
respond to the vigorous tone of do
nestle trade, the past week brought
distinct improvement. Evidences of
better things in the market for goods
naturally gave firmcr tone TO raw
material which was further supported
by unsatisfactory weather in Texas.
The somewhat lower quotations for
wheat had a weakening influence and
Il tendency to increase estimates of the
crop and a slight decline in exports.
Corn is firm.
August opened with the CONNER
cial sky overcast by storm clouds thai
threatened serious injury to the steel
industry, while the drOuth i'll the
southwest aroused pessimistic predic-
tions that business was on the verge
of a serious set back. Instead of these
calamitics, however. the month ends
with the horizon almost clear and
each day the resumption of work at
idle mills adds to the productive ca
pacity, while cancelled orders for mer-
chandisc from dealers in the drouth
section are rapidly reinstated. After
many years of steadily increasing
prosperity the farming population can
face moderate losses with oquanimity.
Jobbers and manufacturers report
that orders for fall goods have eX-
ccedcd and previous year, with a not
iccable demand for better grades.
Quotations Of steel products are still
nominal owing to the difficulty eXper-
fenced in securing prompt delivery.
IT is estimated thaC not more than
twenty per cent Of tho steel compan-
les capacity has been stopped by the
strike and this proportion daily de-
creases. Consumers of tin plate have
secured supplies abroad so that their
work will not be badly handicapped.
Footwear shops continue in splen-
did position and the demand for leath-
er is large at well maintained prices
Hides are sharing the Improvement
/ Wooden mills are crowded with orders
The wool market is steady despite the
weakness abroad. Both rubber and
/ silk are strong.

REVIEW
OF the Nations Business by
BradStreet and Dun.
DRADsTREETS REPORT.
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
New York. Aug. 31.-Bradstreet's
says: Further improvemnt, in corn
crop advices. confidence in an early
ending of the steel strike, further
advance in cotton, better tone in dry
goods trade advices and the advent
of cooler weather are unitedly respon
sible for still further enlargement
of the general trade distribution and
perceptibly better and more cheer
full tone of business generally.
The strength of cotton is the feat
uro of staple prices this week, based
originally upon poor crop reports but
is helped now by better reports from
the dry goods trade and the higher
prices paid for cotton goods. Print
cloths are one eighth higher, while
raw material is a quarter higher ON
the week. Receipts are large and
wool is moving actively on a good
manufacturing demand but is no high
en- in price. The woolen goods market
continues favorable.
Aside from the strength in textiles
the feature in prices in the lower
range for cereals and farm products
generally. Wheat is off little on
liquidation. Corn is lower on good
crop reports, including long to un-
load. Other cereals sympathize and
country products are weaker on in
crcasing supplies.
Ocean froights are only one-half to
one-rifth what they were one year
ago and the situation is much depress-
ed.
With the exception of cheaper
grades shoes are not in active request,
this trade is in active shape.
The air of patient serenity with
which the iron and steel trades view
the trades and strikes situation is
significant on confidence growing that
Leaving out this matter the trade is
in good shape and the consumption is
large. Finished products, such as
hoops, tubes, sheets and tinplates are
still bringing high prices. Structural
material plate and bar mills have or
dcrs for months ahead. Wire is scare.
At Pittsburg merchant furnaces are at
the end of their orders and must pile
stocks next month il the strike lasts.
Failures for the week were 1SS
against 1S1 last week, and 1G5 this
week a year ago. Canadian failures

The Amazon is in every respect but
length the greatest river in the
world. At many points in its lower
course SO vast is its tide that one
shore is invisible from the other, the
observer seeming to look out into a
rolling sea of turbid water, 1t has
over 400 tributaries, great and small,
which rise in so many different eli
mates that when one set is at food
height the other is at ebb, and vice
versa, so that the bulk of the great
river remains unchanged the whole
year around. At one thousand miles

State Fish commissioner S. p. Bart
lett of Illinois, says that enough fish
have perished during the recent heat
ed season to have stocked the streams
of the United States. In the ponds
and lakes in the Illinois river bottoms
there were acres of dead fish lying on
the surface of the water. In one pond
where the water averages one foot
in depth there were 10000 dead black
bass lying ON the surface, and most
of them died in one day.

Bank Failures.

The New York Sun sounds a note Of
failures in the east. Speculation seems
to have run wild, not only among men
accustomed to take chances with their
money, but among bankers, who, above
all others, should be conservative in
times of great excitement. Fortunately
the banks which closed recently We're
isolated concerns whose failure was not
sufficient to precipitate general trouble
in money circles, but the reasons given
for their collapse afford the officials no
justification. They We're simply gam
bling with other peoples money, and
lost. That is the plain English Of it..
The Seventh National of New York was
allowed by the other banks to go to the
when warned by them of its danger,
so that it's misfortunes in no sense re-
fleet the condition of other concerns.
The failure, however, was sufficiently
serious to serve as lesson in financial
circles. The Sun intimates very plainly
that something besides misfortune was
at the bottom of the Seventh National
failure. 1t says:
Nevertheless, these continued evidences
of unsoundness in the banking command
ty are extremely disturbing. In each of
the instances noted the cause of the
collapse was the same, namely, loans
made upon poor security. The recent
rapid increase Of the countrys wealth
and the large fortunes suddenly won
in speculative enterprises, seem to have
warped the minds of sober financiers as
much as: it has those of comparatively
ignorant and reckless people: and in at
least one Of the recent failures there is
a strong suspicion of something darker
in the situation than mere carelessness
or undue optimism on the part Of bank
officers. We are very sure that one need
not incur the accusation of timorousness
in wondering whether the worst Of the
present situation has been experienced.
Are there other banks that are shaking
over their bad loans? Has the exploit
ing Of railway mortgaging and the 9TH
er myriad corporate projects Of the last
few yeads been carried too far, 50 that
banks and trust companies who have
been sponsors for these schemes are now
in a more perilous place than is COM
monty believed?
that of the most searching character,
are the qualities whose exercise is now
most desirable in the financial world.

The Hot Wave.

Few people living in Montana fully
comprehend the steady suffering which
humanity endures during hot spell
such as the east has experienced for the
past ten days. This paragraph from the
New York Tribune gives a faint idea Of
the terrors of hot wave:
The present spell of hot weather is
undoubtedly one of the most severe ever
experienced in this part of the world.
AS our special reports show it prevails
over an unusually wide area, involving
many places which are commonly re-
garded as refugees from summer heat.
Moreover, it remains unbroken, almost
without f1uctuation. The going down o.
the sun gives little relief. Midnight is
so hot that it would be regarded as hot
for monday at any other time than this
When the heat began to develop, ten
days ago or more, men thought it Nigh t
last for three or four days and then
there would be a change. But still 1t en-
dures, growing hotter and hotter with
each new day. and the death list grow
ing longer and longer, and still there is
no relief in sight. Yesterday was de-
clared to be the hottest ever known in
this city since records of weather have
will not be hotter still. And before the
awful infliction all the resources of sell
ence and all the strength of the human
race stand more helpless than a pigmy
before a giant.
