DUN’S TRADE REVIEW. A. WobderfUl Showixur of Business xwr August. AU Prerloui Rwordi Broken -Lovw Failures and Smaller la Volume, with More Business ia Almost All Depart meats of Trade aud Manufacture. New York, Sept. 4.—R. G. Dau A Co.’s wtekiy review of trade says: Failures in August were in number not only *.7 percent, less than in August lH9d, but in amount of liabilities 70.8 per cent, smaller. July and August show a smaller average of liabilities per failure than has ever been known in any year or even in a quarter of the 33 years R. G. Dun & Co. have kept

quarterly records. The improvement is also well distributed, extending to nearly every important braneh of business. but in clothing, jewelry and unclassified trading only two mouths of the past 47 have shovtn smaller failures; in general stores and furniture only three; in groceries, hats and iron manufactures, only -four; in chemical manufactures, only five; and in clothing manufacture, only six months of the 47. The ratio of defaulted liabilities to payments at clearinghouses has been smaller in July and August than in any other month since early iu 1893. August was the first mouth in which the daily average of settlements through clearinghouses exceeded materially that of the corresponding month of 1892. the excess at the principal cities being 13.S per cent. Nor is this due, as might be supposed, to activity iu stock speculation, for the stock exchange clearinghouse now disposes of a very large share of transactions, so that tuey affect bauk exchanges far less than five years ago. The volume of business has been distinctly larger in speculative lines than it was then, and in textile goods phenomenally larger, though slackening this week, buyers having nearly completed their iuitial purchases. With an extraordinary movement in graiu. heavy real estate aud building transactions and increased, business in iron products, the month was clearly the busiest August ever known. Wheat continued its reaction until it had fallen four cents more, but then rose three cents with the first revival of foreign buying. Western receipts are very large, though not quite as large as a year ago, but Atlautic exports, flour included, rose to 5.534,758 bushels for the week, against 3.175,453 last year. The estimates which command confidence still indicate a yield of 550,000,000 to 580,000,000 bushels, winter wheat turning out so much beyond expectations as to balance much of the loss iu spring

wheat. Foreign accounts do not improve, and unless much more deceptive than usual, the demand for American wheat will far exceed the quantity which can be spared. Continued large exports of corn, and buying for export, show still more clearly the extent of deficiencies abroad. Western receipts for the week were 10,065,461) bushels, against 3,100,* SIS last year, and such a movement at this season implies a great export de* mand not yet reflected in outgo. Cotton speculation made" August deliveries eostly, spot rising to cents, but the market then drifted back quickly to 7.62. Conflicting new* doubtless reflects conflicting facts, but the opinion gains that the crop will be large, if by lateness not exposed to serious injury. The mills are now running and turning out great quantities of goods in respouse to heavy purchases recently made. Wool sells largely between speculators, 16,568.600 pounds for the week. Mills have been buying more freely to replace the wool rapidly consumed, and the goods market has been1 so large and strong that they are encouraged to purchese even after a rise of 50 per cent, in a year. The improvement in the iron and steel industry gatlMumomentum and a further advance in prices makes 4.5 per cent, fiom the lowest average. August 13. \ The demand increases for sheets and plates, especially for bridge and ship building, including 100,000 tons at Philadelphia in structural work, of which it is said that 70,000 tons have been placed at Chicago, in bars. and especially in wire and wire nails and all have advanced an average of SI per ton. Southern and western deale rs have united to advance prices of pig 35 cents. Bessemer, at Pittsburgh has risen ten cents, and eastern markets are stronger. The demand for cars is pressing, smd work for railways increases. The first shipment of steel rails from this country to Australis was of 2,000 tons by the Lackawanna compway. Tin is still slightly dower at 13.65 cents, but heaTy exports said to cover 15,000,000 pounds for the next three months, sustain copper at 113*'. and lead is strong at 4.10 Boot and shoe shipments, not quite five per cent smaller than last year in August nor four per cent smaller than in 1805, were 7){ per ceut smaller than in 1804, but were alittle larger than in 1803. Buying is still mostly for immediate needs, but sufficient to keep works well employed. Failures for the past week have been 191 in the United States, against 334 last year. SHOE AND LEATHER REVIEW ttsrtthsl Mcm u* Entirely Too Ulft AH though Slightly Lower. Chicago, Sept 4.—The Shoe and Leather Review of Sep^mber4 says: “The hide situation is a shade easier. It is beginning to be realised that prices ar^entirely too high,and decided advances'in leather must be established before permitting hides to be farther boomed. “It would seem idle to hold oat any hope of lower prices at present, bnt all the indications are that the market has reached the apex.**
