OF commercial failures thus far reported
for May are sl1.392.3S2, against $s.l46, ,S97
for the same period the previous year"
New York. May 29.-Bradstreet's review
Of the state of trade tomorrow will say:
Weather. crop. and trade reports are
irregular. There are some rather less re-
assuring advices from some sections as
to leading crops. due mainly to excessive
rainfall In wide areas; bad roads are a
necessary result Of this, and trade in af-
fected sections naturally has suffered
In other places. where a few days Of
warm, forcing weather have intervened
trade is better. this in many instances be-
ing due to reductions which have resulted
In large stocks Of goods being cleaned UP.
There is feeling that retailers stocks
are pretty well reduced. and that the fall
season will start in with pretty clear
shelves. Taken as a whole the Eastern
and Central Western sections send best
reports as to final distributions.
Very poor reports come from Texas.
where much damage has been done 10
crops and railroads; Southern reports are
OF dull trade as a whole, and heavy rains
nave eNokeu Ialher less satisfactory ad-
vices from the Northwest
In some primary lines OF distribution
the better feeling noted some time ago
has become more widespread In some
lines Of industry. particularly the textile
branches, there is a disposition to put
more people and machinery to work or TO
run longer time. but whether this is a
merely temporary reaction from earlier
intense dullness. or whether II is a def
mite turn for the better. is debated by some
observers. That business is much less
active In many lines than year ago is
without question"

Morning Prices Firm.

During the forenoon prices were firm.
Northern Pacific being an exceptionally
strong feature. but in the early after
noon trading dwihdled TO very small pro-
portions, until at about the beginning Of
the last hour there was revival OF ac-
tivity, which became decidedly pro-
nounced at the end OF the session. prices
OF most of the active stocks rising
sharply, so that final quotations were. as
rule, at or near the best of the day.
Union Pacific moved contrary 10 the other
active issues in the last hour, the traders
who had gone long of this stock early in
the day becoming sellers when 1t was
announced that the directors had de-
clared only the regular dividend, con-
trary 10 the expectations in speculative
quarters of a large extra dividend. Else
where in the market there was consid-
erable recovering of shorts. a good deal

Expenses Balance Earnings.

The April statement Of the Atlantic
Coast Line presented the same character
istics as that Of the Southern Railway.
published on Thursday. a decrease OF
S177.S75 in gross earnings being more than
Offset by reduction in operating ex-
penses. so that the net returns were larger
by Al,622 than those for the correspond
ing month last year. The similarity in
the returns Of the two roads makes It
appear as If the railroads Of the South
the first to show heavy losses in net, have
taken the lead in establishing control over
the operating expenses, a natural out
come OF the fact that the problem was
forced upon their attention earlier than
upon lines located in other sections of the
country.
The Washington herald., 1908-05-30

The bank statement, published after the
close Of the market. coincided pretty
closely with the forecasts made Of II.
the surplus showing a decrease Of $3.50,
S75, as compared with last week. There
was a loss in cash Of S1l. $4,000 and de-
crease in deposits Of almost exactly the
same amount, but what the State banks
and trust companies gained in deposits
was not as much as the clearing house
members lost. AS was expected, no
engagements Of gold were made for ex-
port. although the exchange market was
steady. and the belief gained ground that
for the present the movement was about
over.
About the only interest taken in the
debate on the currency bill was in the
bearing which II had on the date of the
adjournment OF Congress, an event which
