MONEY AMD BUSINESS. n» Condition of Trail® and Finance Throughout the Country as Reflected Through R. G. Dan * Co.’* Weekly Re-view-Recent Events Make It Extremely Difficult to Forecast the Money Market— Trade is Generally Quiet in Sympathy with the Monetary Uncertainty—Business Failures, Etc. New Yoke, July 1.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade, published this morninsr, savs:

The closing of the Indian m ints against silrer, the fall in silver bullion to (12 cents in New York and 22^4 pence in iLondon on Thursday, the fall in wheat to S2& cents at Chicago and 70 cents in New York, and the suspension of operations by miners and smelters in Colorado have made the past week one of unusual interest. although it is officially stated that it is not intended by the Indian government to substitute gold for silver for India and England. Its action is commonly interpreted as throwing on other markets the 4^000.000 ounces of silver which India absorbed last yeat and as insuring the stoppage of silver purchases by the United States when congress meets. Later information has brought to light the fact that this step will be desperately resisted, but greater confidence of bankers in the financial future was expected in lower rates for foreign exchange, which was low eritough to encourage gold imports. It is believed by many bankers that serious disturbance in the stock market was averted by the action of five banks which agreed to take 16.000,000 clearing-house certificates and promptly loaned $5,000,003. breaking the rate from 73 to 66 per cent, in the afternoon. But the events of the week have rendered it unusually difficult to forecast the money market. At Boston business is very quiet and conservative, seasonable dry goods are in small demand and future contracts curtailed by financial difficulties. Cotton goods are well sold, but shoe shops are quiet, and many are getting ready to shut down, while In woolens there is little business. Philadelphia reports manufacturer? unwilling to accent time contracts, but the retail trade have improved in most lines, and in dress goods trade is satisf^ory but in groceries quiet. Good fall order* ^ received at Baltimore for clothing woolens and ha^t tte strlngeac, -‘ZeyTserTc “y felt. Pjttsvurnh *^rts lncreased weakness in iron, tv. . ig foeiieve<i the wage controversy will be settled without a strike &lass factories have closed for the summer, and coal mining is dull. At Cincinnati wholesale trade is larger than a year ago, but collections slow, money close, banks cautious. At Cleveland there is no improvement in iron ore and lake freights are depressed. At Detroit business is fair. Chicago reports large accommodations for merchants, and although business is still somewhat restricted, collections are less difficult. Provisions are steady, but wheat is at the lowest price for forty years, though now held by strong parties. The retail trade has been much enlarged by the World s fair. Receipts of products are generally smaller than a year ago and a decrease appears in clearings and sale of real estate and securities. At Milwaukee the irbn mining trade is much depressed, dealings are slow and many extensions are asked. Sk JPaul reports crop nrospects good and trace quiet. St Louis notes fairly active wholesale trade, some decrease in collections and money in only moderate demand. Business at Kansas City is only fair, but grain receipts very light. Omaha reports good trade: in groceries fair, and at Denver business is fair and collections slow. At New Orleans trade is very dull, money light and collections slow, with tanks very conservative.9 The supply of money at Mobile is ample for business, and Atlanta reports trade generally satifactory but money tight. Savannah notes larger trade than usual in dry goods, hardware and shoes, with poor collections. Throughout the country, while collections are slow and failures numerous, the condition of legitimate business is regarded as healthy, and hopes are entertained that the worst has passed. The hopes are mainly based on the belief that the silver law will be repealed, and the certainty of its repeal will entourage foreign investments here. Lower prices of products also tend to increase merchandise exports. Wheat has reach^cl prices regarded as out of the question a month~~ago. and yet the supply in sight is very large and returns from the northwest as to the coming harvest are most favorable. Corn is lower, with very good prospects, and oats about 2 cents lower. Hog products have declined about 65 per cent, for pork per barrel and 15 cents for lard per 100 pounds, with increasing receipts of hogs. Cotton. though most stubbornly supported, is an eighth lower, the stocks of American being nearly $2,500,000 bales. The stock market has been greatly depressed by the stringency of , mosey, and the average decline in aotive stocks has been nearly $2 per share, although railroad earnings for half of June are nearly 5 per cent, larger than last year. Merchandise imports continue heavy, while exports thus far in June fall about | $4,000,000 behind the same month last j year. The volume of domestic trade ! shrinks considerably, and especially at i the west. Clearings in June are about 10 per cent, smaller than last year, the decrease *t the west being nearly 20 per cent Business in iron and steel products is remarkably depressed. The volume of business is quite large, but at the lowest prices on record. : Trarte in womens is much restricted and waiting for future developments, neither manufac- ; turers nor merchants caring to take contracts which they can avoid. In boots and shoes a somewhat general suspension of manufacture is foreshadowed, and while cotton is in good shape, there is much reluctance to enter into th*e regular engagements for the future. The business failures for the last seven days number for the United States, 237; Canada. 27, or a total of 231.

The Foster Failure. Tiffin, 0., July 1.—The failure of Charles Foster ana his business associates in the city of Fostoria has assumed proportions which are astounding. J. 1$. Gorinley, the assignee, has filed a partial report with the probate court, from which the startling information is gleaned. The failure will in all probability approximate, if not exceed, $1,000,000. Gorinley is the assignee of Charles Foster, and John W. Davis individually of Davis & Foster and Foster & Co. The assets of Davis are $16,150 and liabilities $144,750.85. Davis & Foster’s assets, $181,555.61, liabilities $918,855.75; Foster & Co.’s bank assets, $70,986.27, liabilities, $996,089.49. The papers in the assignment of Mr. Foster individually have not been filed, but enough has been ascertained to show that the shortage is even greater than in the otBer firms. These figures do not include the $280,000 for which Foster & Co., have indorsed for the three glass works, brass and iron works and Fostoria Electric Light & Power Co., Nor Foster’s individual liabilities on his stock in these several enterprises. The figures astonish everybody, and none more so than Foster himself. German; Will Prohibit the Exportation of Fodder. Berlin, July 1.—The report that the goverment was about to stop the export of hay and other fodder which was current yesterday proves to have been well founded. The federal council at its meeting Thursday decided to prohibit the export of fodder. The step is intended to prevent the execution of large orders of hay from France. The liberal newspapers criticize the matter as a sop to the agrarian interests, and' blame the government for not at the same time suspending the import duties cn fodder and cereals. --
