and cotton. enlargement of trade in
summer goods and, which is most i'm
portant Of all, bringing about a much
outlook for business generally. Addi-
tiOnal reports as to six months trade
are more favorable despite earlier un-
favorable conditions. Bank clearings,
though aided by stock, grain and cot
ton speculation, large semiannual dis
bursements and the pulling through Of
large dealings. have not been wholly
dependent thereon for the marked ex-
panslon shown over last year. Fail
ure returns are likewise favorable, in
that six months embarrassments were
the smallest in number reported In 20
years, though a comparatively few
large suspensions, widely separated
and generally unrelated to each other,
swelled liabilities per cent above
those Of last year.
Generally speaking the second half
OF the year opens auspiciously. A
slight decrease in sugar. designed to
encourage the backward demand, is
noted.
