Appearances Indicate That Bedrock Has Been Touched. The New York circular of Henry Clews says: «In the general situation there is & biending of ditions that are distinctly hopetul with others urbing. It seems to be a broad rule of al condition that while the raw mate- rial of prosperity Is ready to hand and waiting utilization, the mechanism for convertiug it {nto wealth is deranged and distrusted. We have really no seriously unsound conditions of trade to contend with, Having undergone three years of widespread liquidation, credit, though suspected in some quarters, shonld be in a generally sate and solvent condliion. There. is no infiation of values in any department of either trade or finauce. In & few branches of indusiry there may have been a brief oversupply of goods, but production and importation have been and are now being very sharply contracted, and the country is fast moving toward a state of underproduction and of meager stocks of merchandise. Certainly, 100, there is nowbers any inflation of prices. All the rise that ocenrred in’ the hopefal spurt of 1895 has since n lost, and the current level of commercial o vas low as at any time within cars, and on_many important lines In certain important branches roduction, there is a very large reduction from e of previous vears.

Saturday; r NFW YORK, N. Y., May 15.—The factors in to- limited speculation at the Stock Exchange were the attitude of the London operators who turned up as sellers of our securities, the cool re- ception given the New York City loan by the Lon- at Washington and at Madrid, and the engagement of & million zold for export to Europe to-morrow. The fact that London changed its position on the market was a distinct disappointment. ) esterday the foreigners hought fairly larze amounts of St. Paui and Louisville and Nashville and some of the | low-jriced bonds, and indications po nted to a still furtier buying for that account. Ihe reverse proved true, and 10cal operators who are of the opinion that a reaction is overdue took advantage of this opportunity to bring abouta | lower rangeof prices.

CHICAGO MARKETS. 10@12; do un- CHICAGO, Iii., May 15.—As far as was con- sistent with a dull and inactive market, wheat was | firm this morning. The tone was derived from re- ports of damage by bugs. Somebody exhibited a few samples of the growing wheat from Indiana and Ohio which were infested with chinch bugs, but whether the samples represented the general condition or only isolated parts was a matter for { the observer to exercise his imagination on. The ‘weather was favoraple throughout the West, that | being a check on the bull endeavor. Liverpool ca- bles were firm and 144 higher. Receipts at Chicago were five cars and 25,110 bushels were Laken from store. i The Northwest had 274 cars against 351 last | Friday and 142 a year ago. Export clearances ' were fair at 873,640 busheis. The market. was sold off after noou on a rumor that Thoman had issued a bearlsh report, but if he did the fizures | were caret illy guarded. 'Closing continental cabies were lower. A drought which has been prevailing | in France was broken to-day, New York reporting foreign selling orders on the news and sending in | turn commissions for a Iike action in this market. | July wheat opened from 635@63%ac, sold be- | tween 6334c and 6214@62%. closing at the inside | 1@1%jc uder yesterday.

DUN’S REVIEW OF TRADE. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 15.—R. G. Dun & Co. 1n their weekly review of trade to-morrow will say: Failures for the week have been 224 in the United States, against 211 last year, and 83 In Canada, against 37 last vear. It is now the midale of Mav, 100 Iate for business to change materially until the Prospects of coming crops are assured and definite ape has been given to the Presidential contest by the conventions. Until the future is more clesr | there isa prudent disinclina:ion to Jproduce much beyond orders or to order beyond immediate and cerialn needs. If this waiting spirit prevails two months longer it will crowd into the last half of the year an enormous businessif the outlook then 18 good. For the present there Is less business than & year ago, though in some branches more, and the delay following months of depression is to many trying and cansed numerous failures. Speculative markets are com parstively Inactive, but the stock market Is stagnant, and the average prive of railroad stocks has declined less than 1 per cent for the week and the average of trust stocks only about half of 1 per cent. An attempt was made Lo manufacture excitement in cotton out of the Government report, but the price ciosed exacily as it began the week, and the port receip have been actually larger than last year. All cur- rent arguments based on the assumption that the quantity used in manufacture had been or is now at 8 maximum rate are disproved by the closing of mauy mills for want of demand and the general efiort to reduce weges, which have caused some strikes. Wheat Is unchanged in spite of all rumors. ‘The volume of domestic business, though large in rome brunches, is represented by payments through clearing-houses I8.3 per cent smalier than last year. The railroad carnings have been for the first week of May 3.8 per cent larger than last vear, showing a trifle betier than the returns for April. The most fortunate of the chief indus- tries at present is the boot and shoe manufacture, which is not only shipping to customers within 6 | per cent of the largest number of cases ever for- warded in the first half of May, but is getting many new orders and there are many urgent re- uests o anticipate orders for June and July de- livery, indicating that distribution to consumers has outrun executions. Frices are unchanged at the lowest averaze vet reached, but there is a rather rapid advance in bides st Chicago and leather begins to stiften a liitle. The iron and steel industry, on the other hand, is pronounced as dull as it ever has been at Pitts: ‘burz, in part because of doubt about the mainten- | ance of prices recently advanced. and the demand | | 18 50 small that in spite of such advances pric | average 1.2 per cent lower for the week, Bessemer | pig being 1o higher than it was three months ago, | and No. 1 anthracite is lower. The attempt to hold common_ bar at 1.2¢ leads many large con- sumers to prefer steel bars, which sell at 1.1c, and prices of nails are expected to be reduced because of scanty demand. There is much promise for tuture structural work, but _orders are deferred. Textile mills are not yet galning. Enormous bargain sales of cotton dress goods and of ready- made woolen clothing have hindered orders at any price which the mills can afford to take, and most have partly supplied the needs of consumers. For some cotton goods a more active demand appears, and low-grade bleached are an eighth higher, but Lonsdale ana Fruit of Loom 4x4 goods are cut to 614c and unsold stocks of many kinds are heavy. Curtallment of production, partly by inteniion a partly by differences about wages, has not brought the improvement hoped for. t Sales” of The large drives in clothing have cleared out stocks of some ready-made concerns, but check new busi- ness, and the general disposition is to postpone or- ders as far as possible.

In w small way there have been a 5000 many lots of Wool s0id to the general trade. Kastern manufacturers’ agents bave not received orders for scoured Wool, ai though they worked hard sending samples at what I8 considered a very low price. The London sales ATe now in progress, but are not tisfactory and 80 will close two weeks sooner than anticipated at the opening. Americans have so {ar taken 1o Wools from ihat source. The Easiern markets are re- poried dull, with larke holders selling from 2c to Sclower than they beld two months #g0. Un the 9th inat. sales commenced ai Stockton with 1200 bales Cainveras, Livermore and footbill Wools. This is a new departure in that section and I am | £0rTy 10 Say that I must be rather disappointing to growers and promoters of this sale, as the Wools were mostly in poor condition, having a great deal ot dirt and were mostly defective. On the opening day, although nine buyers were present, only one buyer took about 200 bales. Another buyer the following day took about 150 baies. Prices ranged from de (0 9c, but very little was sold at the latter price. The sales were finally postponed until the 20th fost. On the 8th inst. the sales opened ut Red Bluft with 2500 bales Wool, which were disposed of by the 1ith inst. The Wools were in splendid condition, in fact better than they have been since 1887. The prices realized were about Zc lower than last year. Still the growers were all satisfied, as the prices paid were higher than anticipated, as at present those Wools cannot be shipped to the Eustern markets and realize their cost.
