TRADE SHOWS A MORE HEALTHY TONE

The Coining or Gold and the Bfeetlng of Congress Brings a Feeling of Relief to Monetary Circles—Business Situation Reviewed.

IMPROVEMENT SHOWN.

NEW YOHK, Aug. 5.—R. G. Dun's review of trade says: "Demoralization in the speculative markets lias been followed by a more healthy tone, and heavy Imports of gold Inspire hope that the monetary troubles may abate. The week has been one of surprises. Enormous liquid** tlon In wheat brought the lowest prices ever kuown Tuesday. The crash of the pork ring took nearly 110 from the nominal prlc* of that produot In an hour and oaused several failures for millions eaoh. Extraordinary depression In stocks and a slaughter which Included some of the best were quickly followed by a bear panic and sensational advances.

Money Market Relieved.

'Meanwhile in tho money markets there has come a singular sense of relief, notwithstanding an actual increase in present embarrass* ments, almost amounting to a paralysis of ex* •hange between tbe chief oommerclal citlcp and of many industrial works because per oent. for currenoy falls to secure what is needed for the payment of wages. Hopes are nev* ertheless fixed on the ships bringing over 111,* 000,000 gold across the sea and on the extra session of congress, which will begin Monday.

Had Its Bright Side.

"Several of tho largest and boldest operators at Chicago have been crushed under pork barrels, but tbe instant increase of foreign purchases convinces the market that the disaster has brought a certain measure of relief. Tbe monetary stringency which at last crushed speculation In wheat and hog produots had been caused in part by their prevention of exports and their absorption of enormous capital In carrying unprecedented stocks of production which, if sold in time to foreign consumers, would have brought gold enough to avert much evil

Wheat and Pork Higher.

"Wheat has recovered about four cents and pork two dollars or more at Cbloago, and or* ders for exports have caused a sudden advance in ocean freights. With a great surplus of wheat brought over from previous years, the oountry will be able to meet all demands, even though the crops prove small enough to justify a considerable advance from previous prices. With a great crop of corn almost assured, unusual accumulation of pork and hog products would be safer on tho occan than In Chicago warehouses and more healthful to the country.

In the Stock Market*

"Stocks at the lowest point of tho week averaged a little more than Nl per share, but is yet along way down to the prices of 1877, averaging at tl*e lowest 123 per share, and the contrast between tbe condition and earnings of ruilroada now and then ls«greater than the difference in price. Railroad earnings continue fairly satisfactory, though they show a recent doorcase and a reduction Jf rates for world's fair travel. For good stocks some recovery from such a fall as that of last week was inevitable, and its rapidity indicated how many stocks had been absorbed by investors here and abroad.

Financial Disasters.

"Bank failures have been almost as numerous this week as for either of the two preceding weeks, but fewer have been of more than local importance, The western states show greater distrust or weakness than, other sections. Out of 169 banks failed sinoe March 5 wer* In eastern cities, 48 in soothern and 151 in western states. The failures of national banks numbered 58 of state banks, 79, and of private banks 07. In anxious «fforts to fortify themselves banks throughout the country have locked up a large amount of currenoy and the depositors who have drawn their accounts are also keeping out of use many millions. As the entire circulation of bills of less than (5 each is but £71,000,000. while the depositors in savings banks number nearly 5,000,000^ tbe with* drawal, or the mere withholding of accustomed deposit by a considerable proportion of them would put out of the market muoh of the small notes. The demand for these has been so great that shipments of silver In many oases have been gladly received* and the difficulty of getting currency for paying employes causes a premium for currency, in many cases ranging as high as 8 per cent

Only Temporarily Closed.

"Closing of shops and works for lack of orders is the overshadowing fact Yet many stoppages are only for a few weeks, unless clroum* stanoes should lead managers to extend them, and It Is believed that the consuming demand has not been reduced in proportion to the present decrease of production, so that better orders may presently enable many works to resume. Most of the large carpet mills have closed so have a large share of works producing men's woolens, and many of those producing dress goods, flannels and knit goods. Prices are weak and yet so low that muoh decline seems unlikely.

Iron Works Cease Operations. •The Carnegie and some other iron works have almost ceased produclnc, and yet the demand brings no further stimulus, though prices in this lino also are so low that most makers prefer to stop than to make lower. In boot and shoe shops the situation is nearly the same, eastern shipments falling off about a quarter.

Stand the Strain Well.

"Full accounts from many plaoes show how well banking and mercantile Interests are sustaining the extraordinary strain and prove that the volume of retail business is nowhere restrained as yet in proportionmeht to the curtailment of wholesale trade. Gold imports may help to revive tbe credits upon which a great share of business depends. The volume of domestic trade, indicated by railway earnings. is but 5 per cent, smaller than last year, and cleariugs at the cb'.M cities show a decrease of 10 per cent outside New York.

The Failure Record.

"While the failures of the week number 496 against 100 last year, a great proportion of them are at the west, and it Is cheering to note that comparatively few of importance occur except In connection with speculative operations. The west contributed most largely to the number of failures, 237 being reported from that section. In the cast thcro were 153 and in tbe south forty-six. There were three failures •f a million or more—two at Chicago, due to the break in the pork deal, and one in New York olty."

Financial Crisis In Costa Rica. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5.—Mailadvices from San Jose de Costa Rica, Central America, report a disastrous state of affairs there.

BESIEGE THE TRAINS.

Eiodas From Colorado a Heavy Burden for Farmers and Railroads. TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 5.—The exodus of Colorado miners continues through Kansas, proving a heavy burden to the western farmers and a source of great annoyance to the railroads. The tramp trains carry from 200 to 400 each day going east, and the regular trains are still besieged by idle and destitute miners who are determined to get out of the country. The crowds are so great in Denver that the first-class passenger trains frequently back away from the depot and then run through the station at full speed In order to prevent the men from jumping on. Trains that refuse to stop are pelted with rooks and clubs. In some instances the trains are accompanied through Kansas by guards of soldier® to avoid any interference with regular travel by these flying laborers. The Kansas farmers are feeding them along the route whenever they are able to do so, and many of the men have accepted work on the farms.
