BRADSTREET'S
TRADE REVIEW
House Trade in Large Cen
ters Has Been Improved by
Visiting Buyers

New York, Aug 28--Bradstreet's
today gays: House trade at many of
the large centers has been improved
to q considerable extent by the pres
ence OF numerous visiting buyers.
Staple commodities, such as dry
goods. wool, print cloths and cloth
ing, show the effects of the better
buying movement. Withal, there is
no disposition to load up or to specu-
late as to the future. In fact, the
await developments. Under the cir
cumstances trade may be termed dis
appointing, but there is a tendency to
look for better things, now that con-
grcss has adjourned and that one dis
turbing feature.a tariff legislation, is
temporarily at least, relegated to the
more or less distant future. Cooler
weather has improved retail trade to
moderate degree, but developments
in this, as in other lines, are not sat
isfactory and current clearance sales
with marked reductions In prices evil
IDENTIFY leave little room for profits.
Crop reports show little significant
change, while commodity prices do
not display any material difference,
the undertone Of the latter on the
whole being firm. Operations in in
dustrial lines are repressed, curtail-
ment being still general in textile
lines, while there is talk of retrench-
ment and reduction in working forces
on some of the country's railway
lines.
Incidentally there seems to be
more indications of strikes among
shop men for higher wages and the
enforcement Of other conditions.
However, traffic Is increasing and
the number Of idle cars is now
smaller than it has been during the
past eight months.
In the iron and steel line, new or
ders are disappointingly light and
the output exceeds the intake Of new
business. Iron ore mining is restrict
ed and short season of shipping is
in prospect on the lakes. Operations
in the stock market are marked by
light demand for bonds. by falling
prices for stocks and considerable
bearish sentiment, though liquidation
Is not SO marked as In recent weeks.
Money is firmer and funds are in de-
mand for crop moving purposes, mer-
camille collections are slow to fair.
Somewhat less favorable reports
come from the iron and steel lines.
Price concessions, which have been in
evidence for some weeks past, but
which received scant consideration,
are now being given more attention.
Competition for what Is going is keen
er and In short, the mills are produc-
ing and shipping at greater rate
than new orders are coming in.
Collections show some improve
mont. Business failures in the Unit
ed States for the week ending Aug
ust 81 were 1893 against 215 last week.

HAMLIN ON THE JOB
Rises to Ask Why Secret Fund Has
Been OverdraWn.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Representa-
tive Hamlin of Missouri, chairman of
the committee on expenditures in the
state department, who unearthed the
DAY portrait scandal at the special
session of congress, arose in the house
with reminder that he is still on the
Job. He declared that by diligent =
quiry during the past few weeks, he
had found that, although the secret
fund of the state department is only
100000 year, the department had eX-
pended secretly under blanket vouch-
ers $732,9S1 in the past six years, or
an average of $122,163 a year. Mr..
Hamlin charged that in defiance of
law other funds had been tapped and
treated in the same way as the secret
fund.
The Ham1in speech is the first re-
minder that this is to be a session of
congress for politics only.
