Rradstreet's Review.


New York. Sept. 5.-Bra dstreet's to-
day says:
Crop developments have mostly been
favorable, fan jobbing trade reports tn
dictate further improvement and anpne-
tary conditions show less tension. The
tone of general business Is conserva-
tive. and the tendency is to eliminate
anything in the nature Of speculation or
over-extension from general business.
Manufacturing industry shows contin-
ued activity except in such lines as cot
ton and silk production, which note the
influence of special conditions, and
some lines OF iron and steel. Evidence
OF an approaching slaekening in the
output Of anthracite coal Is to be seen.
Some Improvement is hoted in car
scarcity trouble and gross earnings OF
railroads continue large, but increased
cost of operations or heavy improve
ments limit net receipts Failures so
far as number and midsummer volume
are concerned are about usual. but Au-
gust suspensions foot up a larger total
of liabilities, particularly OF small
financial institutions and MANUFACTURE
ers. Collections are still rather back
ward, tho some Improvement Is noted
where backward crops have been real
ICED on.
The tobacco crop promises we'll In
Virginia, Connecticut and Ohio.
Dry goods are In better demand from
eastern jobbsrs, but business with first
hands Is limited by uncertainty as to
the outlook for raw cotton prices and
the small stocks Of goods now being
n n nj
for spring weights is noted, but
worsteds drag slightly. Wool Is firm on
demand sufficient to cover sales of
goods.
Lumber Is active and firm at the
west. but slow at the east. where labor
conditions are not altogether settled.
Solid jewelry manufacturers are busy
a the east. Boot andshoe shipments are
slim far ahead OF last year. Leather,
while in hand to mouth demand shows
a large aggregate business.
Wheat, including flour, exports for
the week ending Sept. 8, aggregate
3,131,S39 bushels, against 3,245,056 last
week and 6,276,299 the corresponding
week last year.
Corn exports for the week aggregate
s6s,741 bushels, against $500 last
week and a1,1e6 in the corresponding
week a year ago.
Business failures in the United States

A lively dog was he,
His tail was brown, his body black,
AS black as black could be.

And grayish lack and spotted legs,
And whitest of white tails,
He gave a bark a nimble jump,
And like a streak of blue,
Shot through the air. as al the cat,
