the week covered by the
above statement will be given next Saturday. We cannot,
of course, furnish them to-day, bank clearings being made
up by the various clearing houses at noon on Saturday, and
hence in the above the last twenty-four hours of the week
have to be in all cases estimated, as we go to press Friday night.
We present below our usual detailed figures for the previous week, covering the returns for the period ending with
Saturday noon, August 11, and the results for the corresponding week in 1899, 1898 and 1897 are also given. In
comparison with the preceding week there is a decrease
in the aggregate exchanges of one hundred and sixty -two
million dollars, the loss at New York being one hundred and
fifteen millions.
Contrasted with the week of 1899 the total
for the whole country shows a decline of 17*3 per cent.
Compared with the week of 1898 the current returns record
a decrease of 1-0 per cent, and the excess over 1897 is 4-2
per cent. Outside of New York the decrease from 1899 is 3-4
per cent. The excess over 1898 reaches 21-3 per cent, and
making comparison with 1897 the gain is seen to be 27'6 p. c.

ENLARGING THE FUNCTIONS OF THE
NATIONAL GOVERNMENT.
In an address before the graduating class of the
College of Law at the University of Wisconsin, Justice David J. Brewer, of the United States Supreme
Court, expressed some wholesome views a short time
ago bearing on the question of the enlargement of the
functions of the National Government. His remarks

question as to which of these ways Mr. Huntington attained his distinction. It is to be noted
that he was of New England ancestry, having
been born in Harwinton, Litchfield County, Conn.

He makes a strong, lucid argument against the
theory that the powers of the National Government
should be enlarged in the particular referred to. Local
control is of the highest importance. Indeed, on it
depends largely the continuance of government by the
people.
So far as is consistent with the welfare of the
nation as a whole, it is better that each locality should
regulate its own affairs. He would not detract from
the powers of the National Government as they now
exist, but he asks, "Is not the present national con-

was the consideration of these various characteristics that led us to remark at the outset that in

—All the Clearing House certificates issued last
December
by the Boston Clearing House at the time of the failure of
the Globe National Bank of that city have now been retired,
the last $100,000 having been paid yesterday. The Globe
National, it will be remembered, became involved by reason
of loans on United States Oil Company and United States
Mining Company securities, and the Clearing House voted to
issue $3,500,000 certificates. The assets deposited with the
Clearing House to secure these certificates have proved more
than sufficient for the purpose, and it is stated that the Clearing House Committee will be able to return to Receiver
Wing about $750,000 face value of securities, estimated to
have a real value, however, of only $300,000, to apply for the
benefit of depositors of the bank and the unsecured creditors.

National Bank of La Crosse, La Crosse, Wis., had for his
theme " Further Financial Legislation."
Mr. Hayes in his address adverted to the evils connected
with the collection of out-of-town checks free of cost and
said that these evils could only be overcome through the
agency of the clearing houses of the country working in concert.
He declared in favor of making a charge on every

to the State Constitution permitting the Legislature alone to alter the banking laws. At present any changes in the law made by the

that the prospects in the United States are so very promising
just now that there ought to be a very considerable advance
in American railroad securities. As already said, the general public is holding alcof and large numbers of professional
operators are away holiday-making. Still there has been for
the last day or so decidedly more buying of American securi-
than for a long time past.
to China, the hope is entertained that a relief
force will advance immediately upon Pekin and will be successful. The "Times" correspondent mentions that as long
as the Chinese troops were able to hold Tientsin the operations against the legations were pushed forward actively,
but that the instant Tientsin was taken there was a complete
change. Military operations were suspended, and an edict
was issued promising protection to the legations and all
foreigners connected with them. From this it is inferred
that the authorities in Pekin have lost' hope to resist the foreign troops in Pekin. With regard to South Africa the impression is general that the war is now very nearly at an
end. A small force that had been under the command of
General Prinsloo has escaped but it is hoped that it will be
rapidly followed up and compelled to surrender; and little
doubt is entertained that De Wet likewise will before long
be compelled to surrender. If so, the pacification of the
Orange River Colony will be completed in a very short time,
and then it will be possible for the mine-owners and all employed by them to go back to Johannesburg and to resume
work. Until the Orange River Colony is pacified unarmed
civilians would of course be unsafe, and it is not probable
that native laborers would be attracted in large numbers; but
as soon as the pacification is effected little doubt is entertained that a sufficiency of labor will be got together.
As yet there has not been any very marked buying of
South African securities. Indeed, the general public is, as
already said, holding aloof from all markets; but it is noteworthy that for the last day or two buving on Continental
account, and especially on French and German account, has
been larger than for several months past. The German buying has been chiefly in American and copper shares, the
French buying has been in both Chinese and South African
securities, and there has been a certain amount of British
buying in all classes; but while there has been this general
recovery in so many departments of the Stock Exchange,
British Government securities and British railway stocks
continue dull. The weakness of Government securities is of
course due to the fact that the Government will have to
borrow further sums, and that nobody knows what the expenditure in China may be; while the weakness in British
railway stocks is traceable to the extreme dearness of coal.
The price of coal has been rising again all through the week,
and every advance in coal of course is detrimental to the
railway and it is likely to lessen dividends.
Money in London is very scarce and dear, and already
people are beginning to expect an advance in the Bank rate
to 5 per cent. Whether it will take place depends firstly
upon whether the outflow of coin and notes to the interior is
very large, and, secondly, upon whether gold is received from
abroad, and more particmlarly from Russia and the United
States. Nobody fears now gold withdrawals from the Bank,
for the exchanges are in favor of this country. This week
the Russian Government has had to send a large amount of
gold to Paris, and it is expected that it will have to send
considerable sums to London likewise. In the present condition of things it would be impossible for the Russian Government to borrow large amounts in Paris; and as Russia is
spending immense sums on account of her preparations for
Chinese eventualities, she will have to draw upon her gold
reserve, and therefore she will probably have to send a good
deal of gold to London so as to be able to remit freely and

and exports of gold and silver through that port for the
month of July, and they are given below in conjunction
with the figures for preceding months, thus completing the
results for the seven months of the calender year 1900. The
imports of gold were the largest in amount for many months,
reaching $3,500,693, of which $3,462,225 was in coin. Of
silver there came in $219,058, of which $141,904 was bullion.
During the seven months there has been received a total
of $8,973,779 gold and $1,448,349 silver, which compares with

[From our own correspondent.]
London, Saturday, August 4, 1900.
Business has teen very slack all the week owing to the
protraction of the war in South Africa, the troubles in

today the Stock Exchange is closed, and that Monday next
will be a Bank Holiday, when
business everywhere will be
suspended. Very large numbers of people have in consequence left the city, and business up to Thursday morning
was exceedingly dull and scarce. On Thursday morning,

In Paris money is very abundant and cheap, and daring
the past week or ten days the leading French banks have
been buying British bills on a very great scale, thus stopping
the shipments of gold from London to Paris. In Berlin the
Imperial Bank has grown very much stronger than for a
considerable time past, and money in the outside market is
abundant and cheap. This is due to the slackness of business brought about, firstly, by the war scares; secondly, by
the liquidation in the industrial department, and, thirdly, by
the alarm that has been caused by a small bank in Cologne
taking advantage of the Bourse laws to repudiate its StockExchange liabilities. Private speculators from time to time
have done the same thing; but their action was not resity for

Gold.—The dearness of money has had the effect of sending all arrivals of gold Into the Bank, with the exception of some yen taken for
Paris. The Bank has bought £50,000 in bar gold. Arrivals: Australia. £54 000; India, £5,000; West Indies, £12,000.
Silver.—The upward movement last week was largely helped by the
French Mint requirements being made known, viz.: 50,000 kilos for
delivery in August, and the prioe rose as high as 283 16 d., but at this
level large realizations were effected both here and in India and the
Mint order being filled the market has dropped to 2715, „d., the cash
price being ked. under the forward price on the dearness of money.
Chile, £7,000.
Arrivals : New York, £203,000
Total, £21o,000.
Shipments : Bombay. £79.00 3: China. £72,000. Total, £151,000.
Mexican Dollars.— Business in dollars has been at a standstill and
the price is nominally kd. under that of silver. Arrivals: New York,
£9,600. Shipments: China, £33,000; Straits, £39,000. Total, £72,000.

The Honey Market and Financial Situation. Operations
in Wall Street have been on a somewhat broader scale than
for some time past. During the early part of the week the
prevailing tendency was towards enlargement of volume
and higher prices for stocks, but as the public is still out of
the market this tendency could not long continue, and a
reaction

>10O
-10914 *109i4 '109
*109i4 IO914 109
*103i4 *103i4 *104
in progress.
There has been very little change in the conditions that
have a direct effect upon local financial affairs, but if a
broader view is taken, including C bin a, South Africa and
the financial situation in Europe, the outlook is more
encouraging.
Gold exports have been heavy again thi* week, made
chiefly by the syndicate that received subscriptions to the
British war loan, and presumably on that account. The
amount shipped on Wednesday was over $S,000,«>00, reported
to be the largest shipment ever made in one day from this
port, and for the week the amount is $8,744,388.
An illustration of the abundant supply of funds in the
local money market is seen in the fact that notwithstanding
the export of $17,383,906 of gold during the last two weeks,
the market is undisturbed and rates have not advanced.
The open market rates for call loans on the Stock Exchange
during the week on stock and bond collaterals have ranged
from 1 to 2 per cent. To-day's rates on call were il^to
\% per cent. Prime commercial paper 4 to 5 per cent.

State and Railroad Bonds. Sales of State bonds at the
Board are limited to $1,000 Tennessee settlement 3s at 94,
$5,000 Virginia 6s deferred trust receipts at Q% and $1,000
Louisiana consol. 4s at 108.
Interest at the Stock Exchange has centered largely in
the. shares department, and the market for railway bonds
has been almost as dull and neglected as for some time
past, the daily transactions averaging only about $750,000
par value.
There were a few strong features, including St. Louis
Southwestern issues, the 2ds of which advanced 2 points,
Wabash debenture series B, which advanced 13^ points,
Western 4s, Colorado & Southern 4s and
Reading, Norfolk
Atchison adjustment 4s, the last-named having advanced
nearly 2 points. The active list was generally steady to
firm and includes, besides the above-mentioned special
features, Baltimore & Ohio, St. Louis & Iron Mountain,
Union Pacific and Wisconsin Central bonds.

and Miscellaneous Stocks.— There has been
considerable more activity in the stock market this week
than for several weeks past, although the trading seemed to
be largely professional in character, and the larger voluma
of business was accompanied by a liberal advance in prices.
The upward movement was led by the anthracite coal stocks,
and averaged about 2 points. Central of New Jersey represented the maximum in a gain of 53^ points, and LackaRailroad
wanna followed with a gain
of A.% points, while St. Paul
North West, advanced %% arm 3 points respectively.
Naturally this development led to liberal profit-taking and
the reaction that followed leaves net changes somewhat
smaller than the above.
&
The miscellaneous list contains some erratic features.
Consolidated Gas fluctuated over a range of nearly 6 points.
United States Rubber advanced over 3 points and Pullman
Company 3 points. The iron and steel stocks and tobacco
shares were strong. American Sugar Refining steady and
United States Leather unusually active.

Net Earnings Monthly to Latest Dates.— The following
shows the gross and net earnings to latest dates of all Steam
railroads furnishing monthly statements. The compilation
includes every road from which we can get returns of this
character, and in that form is given once a month. Early returns are published from week to week, as soon as issued, but
for the convenience of our readers all the roads making returns are brought together here in the week in which we publish out monthly article on net earning?— say on or about the
20th of the month. Besides the roads »urnishing monthly
returns, we have added the roads this time which make
quarterly returns.
The returns of the street railways we give by themselves
wider a separate head at the extreme end of these tabulations

President Arthur W. Foster says in substance:
The surplus earnings over expenses and fixed oharges are $3,161 in
excess of those for the preceding year. The demand for increased
service and greater conveniences compels the company to keep the
physioal oondltion of the road to the highest standard.
Much
work has been done in Improving the general condition of the property.
The equipment has been increased by the addition of a new 65 ton
Kaldwin locomotive and a small logging engine; ten new box and ten
flat care, and new pile driver; and the freight equipment is being Improved by putting in Janney couplers. During the year, 175 tons of
new 651b. steel rail, 119 tons of 56-lb. steel rail, have been plaoed on
main line, and 72 tons of Iron relald on branches and sidings; 23,685
cross ties laid on main line and sidings, and 5,043 Servis tie plates

rich pasture land oovered with grama and other nutritious grasses,
which until recently was occupied by the large oattle oompanies
solely for grazing purposes. Since the building of the road, the lands,
both in Texas and New Mexico are being acquired for farming and for
raising cattle. In many places excellent water in abundant quantities is found from twelve to twenty feet below the surfaoe. The general elevation of the country is from S.700 to 4,400 feet above the sea
level, and the rainfall is sufficient for the successful raising, without
irrigation, of Indian corn, Kaffir corn, millet, sorghum, and other food
for the winter feeding of oattle. Most of the vegetables raised in the
South and Middle States are produoed successfully.
Sinoe the completion of the road to a northeastern connection, the
irrigable portion of the Pecos Valley has improved iapidly. The land
is being bought by people who are able to improve and make profitable use of it. The largest item of traflio on the road is live stock; in

the mounttion. We decided to reverse toe proposition and conduct
anove
ain water to the upper lands at an elevation of about 180 feet
pumpthe sea level, and pump It to the lands below, where the cost of
pipe
ing is comparatively small. The necessary ditch, tunnel ana
*^»u,line are now nearly completed; their total cost will not exceed
000. The new ditch will carry easily 60.000,000 gallons of water in
twenty-four hours, raising the ditoh capacity on the plantation to
135,000,000 gallons in twenty -four hours. The surplus water will be
stored in reservoirs. One of the pumps was sold to the McBryae
plantation on Kaui and another, which has not as yet been completed, will be taken by the Kihei plantation.
Grinding Contract.—The directors have entered into a ten year
contract with the Kihei plantation Co. for grinding their cane. The
Kihei crops will probably be, for 1901, 6,000 to 6,500 tons; lor 1902,
11,000 to 11,400 tons. The cost of hauling the cane and manufacturing the same into sugar, including mill repairs at our new works, win
probably not exceed $4 50 per ton, leaving us a profit of $8 per ton.
New sugar Factory.— The directors have deoided to ereot a new
sugar factory to be located in a central position on the plantation
about Ha miles back of Kahului. We have in round figures 20,000
acres of sugar lands and should produce, when the water supply is
fully developed, an annual output of at least 50.000 tons of sugar.
This would be fully 20,000 tons more than can be taken oare of at the
present works, and with the Kihei crop 30,000 to 35,000 tons more
than the capacity of the present works, which, moreover, are largely
old-fashioned, the cost of manufacture being at least $2 per ton of
sugar more than it should be.
The steel building for the new factory, which has been ordered
large enough for a 550-ton plant, has been already contracted for
and will cost ereoted on the ground $241,046. We advise putting in
two-thirds of the machinery to handle the crop of 1902 and then the
following year the balance of the machinery, thus bringing the plant
up to 500 tons capacity. The oost of the new works erected for the
350 tons capacity will probably be about S700.C00; for 500 tons capacity about $900,000. The new works when fully equipped will be
the largest and most complete cane sugar factory in the world.
Purchase of Railroads.—The company has purchased the entire
capital stook of the Maui RR. & 88. Co. for $98,834, the cost of the
settlement being only $43,000, after allowing for $55,834 oash In
treasury of the Maul Company. We have also bought out the Kahului RR. Co., paying $66,032 for their railroal property, and for the

Extensions.— General Counsel N. M. Hubbard says:
During the
last ten years
our company has been developing
its sys-
tem by building connections and branches. We have that work fairly
well completed, and attention is now being turned to the Northwest.
We are reaohing out after Oriental traffic. Our associations with the
Union Pacific are very close. Mr. Harriman is beooming the leading
railroad man of the West. The railroad situation Is reaohing the
point where there will be a few great systems, and they with connections from the Atlantio to the Paoitlo. Our road is In good shape to
protect its interests. It was the fact that we were far out Into Wyoming with our line and in oontrol of a low pass over the Rocky
Mountains that gave us our present contract with the Union Pacific
We were Independent, and we propose to remain so, and the time may
be close at hand when our line may go toward the Paolflo Coast.— V.

Dulnt h-Superior Traction Co.
Consolidation
Official
Statement.—The street railway systems of the cities of Duluth, Minn., and Superior, Wis,, comprising about 73 miles of
track, have been consolidated under the title of the Duluth-,
Superior Traction Co., incorporated under the laws of Con-'
necticut, with a capital stock of $5,000,000, divided into $1,500,000 4 per cent preferred stock and $3,500,000 common
stock. Both properties have been in the hands of receivers,
but the receiverships have now been discharged. The property of the Superior Rapid Transit Co. has been conveyed to
the Duluth Street Railway Co., which company has authorized an issue of $2,500,000 first mortgage and collateral trust
5 per cent 30-year bonds, of
which amount $500,000 are
to
remain in the treasury for future improvements, etc. The
holders of old first mortgage bonds upon each property were
offered the opportunity of even exchange for the new bonds,
and the larger part of them have accepted the offer. The
consolidated bonds upon the Duluth property were all deposited with Brown Bros. & Co. under an agreement to receive in exchange therefor 110 per cent in new preferred
stock and 90 per cent in new common stock. The Central
Trust Co. of New York is trustee under the mortgage securing the new bonds and also registrar of the stock. The
Farmers' Loan & Trust Co. of New York is transfer agent
for the stock.
The consolidated company embraces all the street railway
mileage of the two cities, which are connected by anew steel
bridge oyer which the inter- urban traffic is conducted. The
net earnings of the combined properties are estimated at
considerably in excess of the interest upon the bonds and
dividends upon the preferred stock.
The new company
starts with no floating debt and with cash in hand for immediate improvements.

and had that been possible It no doubt would have been done.
There Is no secret In the fact that the Northern Pacific has terminated Its traffio agreement with the Oregon Railway & Navigation
Co. relative to he shipment of grain from Wallula to Portland. The
Northern Pacific has for several years given to the Oregon Company
an immense volume of business arid has not received a dollar's worth
in return. We have our own line into Portland, and if we deoide to
carry this business at the same rate it certainly can injure no one. It
Is true that It will be a much longer haul, but if we are willing to take
the risk and even lose money in the operation it is nobody's business
other than that of the Northern Pacific.
Our engineers have made surveys for the Lind-Ellensburg out off,
which will shorten the distance from St Paul to the coast about 90
miles, but this work was done merely to gather data for future use.—

The company was formed to acquire the property and the buildings,
plant and machinery recently erected at Niagara Falls and the Castner patents for the United States and Canada, and to carry on the
business of manufacturers of caustic soda and bleaching powder
under the Castner eleotrolytlo process. The purchase price to be
paid by the company to the Mathieson Alkali Works (the vendors) is
$2,000,000, to be satisfied by the allotment of the whole of the ordinary share capital. The present issue is to provide funds to ereot further plant and increase the works from their present capacity of 2,000 E H. P. to at least 6,000 E. H. P.. which, it is estimated, will cost
£150,000, leaving a margin for ample working capital. Th>- money
required for the new plant will only be advanced to the company by
the trustees as the new works proceed on certificates furnished by an
engineer to be appointed by them.

rain.
Louisiana.— Showers less frequent: general conditions Inmroved;
cotton slightly improved, but still suffers from excess of moisture,
lack of cultivation, and, in places, rust, boll worms or caterpillars.
Texas —Favorable weather in northwestern portion, showery in
southeast; very unfavorable; cotton generally doing well in northwest portion, elsewhere crop needs dry weath«r, plant growing too
rank, not fruiting well except in scattered localities, rust and insects
damaging crop in many places, some bolls rotting in south portion,
early cotton opening in southwest portion, but picking will not become general for two or three weeks.
Arkans « s.— Light looal sHo wers, rain badly needed in most seotions;
cotton beginning to wilt and shed rapidly.
Tennes.-»ek.— Continued warm, dry weather ; early ootton developing well cotton shedding.
Missouri.— Another hot, dry week, with light scattered showers at
close ; ootton doing well.
Oklahoma and Indian Territory.— Cotton boiling and early bolls
opening; orop in fine condition, but needing rain.
;
Over portions of the central belt ootton has Improved slightly, although rust and shedding are generally reported and the crop needs
rain in portions of Mississippi, while suffering from exoessive moisture and lack of cultivation in parts of Louisiana. In the Carolina*,
Georgia and Arkansas the condition of co ton has deteriorated materially, premature opening being extensively reported from the Carollnas. In Northern Texas ootton has made favorable progress, but
elsewhere in that State it needs dry weather and is making too rank
growth. Some picking ln,e been done over the southeastern portion of
the ootton belt, and while ootron is opening in Southwestern Texas,
picking will not be general in that State for two or three weeks.
Averages of Temperature.— As of interest in connection
with our monthly weather record, we have prepared the
subjoined table, which shows the State averages of thermometer, for April, May, June and July for six years,
1895 to 1900.

Norfolk's Fibst Bale.—The first bale of new cotton at
Norfolk, Va., arrived Saturday, Aug. 11, or three days earlier
than last year. The bale was classed as full style middling
and came from Marlboro County, South Carolina, to Messrs.
Enre, Gregory & Co., who also received the first bale in
1899.

Mississippi Cotton. Our correspondent at Helena,
Ark., telegraphs us that one bale was received at that point
to-day from Mississippi. The bale classed strict middling.

Speculation in wheat for future delivery has been quiet
and prices have gradually weakened, the absence of speculative interest in the market being an important factor
against values. Foreign advices have been inclined to be

Reports from the Northwest have been decidedly conflicting,
although having a tendency to be more favorable than many
expected. On Thursday a well-known authority estimated
the yield of the present crop at 555,000,000 bushels, including 215,000,000 bushels spring wheat and 340,000,000
bushels winter wheat, and this had its influence against
the market. The reports from the winter-wheat belt

Government Weekly Grain Report. Mr. James Berry,
Chief of the Climate and Crop Division of the U. S. Weather
Bureau, made public on Tuesday the telegraphic reports on
the grain crops in the various States for the week ending
August 13 as follows
Weather.— The week has been Intensely hot from the Missouri Val:
ley eastward to the Atlantic coast, including the South Atlantic States,
with practically no rain over a large part of this area although heavy
rains oocurred over the Missouri, upper Mississippi and Red River of
the North valleys and Lake region The week was unseasonably cool in
the Plateau and Paolflc Coast regions except on the immediate northern coast, frosts occurring on the &th and 9th in Nevada. In the West
Gulf States the temperature averaged below normal and very heavy
rains fell, more than 18 inches being reported from Beeville, Tex.
Owing to the extreme conditions of heat and dryness and excessive
rains in certain districts, the week as a whole was unfavorable to
agricultural interests in the districts east of the Rocky Mountains, but
on the Pacific Coast it was very favorab'e.
Corn —In portions of Missouri and Kansas corn, more especially
the late-planted, has been materially injured, and the orop has sustained damage in Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois, although In Iowa the
bulk is unharmed and well advanced toward maturity, while in Illinois
a large yield is still promised. The outlook in Indiana and Western
Ohio continues very promising, but In Central and Southeastern Ohio
and throughout the Middle Atlantio States corn has sustained serious
injury as a result of drought and the intense heat. In the principal
states of the corn belt the reports indicate that the bulk of the crop
will be safe from frost by September 1 to 10 and that the late crop will
be matured one to two weeks
later.
Spring Wheat.— Heavy rains in the prlnoipal spring-wheat States
prevented the completion of the spring wheat harvest and caused injury to the over-ripe standing grain, as well as to that in shock and
stack.
Tobacco.— In the Middle Atlantio States, including North Carolina
and Ohio and portions of Kentucky, tobacco has suffered much from
drought and heat, but in the last-mentioned State the general condition of the orop Is promising. Some cutting has been done as far
north as Maryland and Ohio.
Apples.— The intense heat of the past week has not been favorable
to apples in the central valleys and Middle Atlantio States, but an
abundant orop is promised in New York and N6W England.
Plowing.— Very little plowing for fall seeding has bean done during
the week.
Exports op Breadstupfs, Provisions, Cotton and
Pktroleum. The exports of these articles during the month
of July, and the seven
months, for the past three
years have been as follows:
—
73%
Indian corn futures have been fairly active and irregular.
The near-by deliveries have been firm and prices have advanced. The statistical position of corn is decidedly strong,

The value of the New York exports for the year to date has
been $10,248,381 in 1900, against $9,936,593 In 1899.
There has been only a slow home demand for heavy sheetings and drills and little doing for export. The tone of the
market is easy and prices irregular. Ducks and brown osnaburgs have been in limited request without quotable change.
Wide sheetings are steady at recent reduction in price, but
sales moderate.
Bleached cottons in demand for small lots
only in any grade; low and medium qualities steady, but
some irregularity in finest counts. Cotton flannels and
blankets featureless. Denims in limited request and irreguOther coarse, colored cottons dull and easy to
lar in price.
buy. Fancy calicoes are dull, with some sellers making concessions. In staple lines, such as indigo blues, Turkey reds
and mournings, there has bsen a fair business at steady
prices.
Fine printed fabrics in moderate request for next
Ginghams are without change, a quiet demand coming forward at unchanged prices. Print cloths are steady at
2%o. for regulars, with no business doing. Narrow odds
steady but wide odds slightly easier.

The business doing in the market from day to day during
the past week has shown little variation in eharacter. In no
department have buyers operated with any degree of freedom, a steady adherence to a hand- to mouth policy mark-
men's wear woolens and worsteds has been irregular this
week and disappointing in the aggregate. Buyers generally
show a lack of confidence in the situation and most orders
are for small quantities only. Pieced dyes in serges, cheviots, etc., are meeting
with less success relatively than fancies, and prices show
considerable irregularity. There have
been declines in a number of quarters from opening prices,
ranging from 5 to 12}£ per cent, and the market does not yet
wear a settled appearance.
Some lines of fancy woolens

such as heavy staple lines in cotton and
piece dyes in woolen goods.
Curtailment of production
promises to be a prominent feature in the situation shortly.
Some large cotton and woolen mills are reported to be on
the eve of shotting down in the North and in the South.
Although no specific announcements have been made, a number of looms have been laid off with more to follow. Fall
River mills are still carrying-out their short-time arrangement.
