NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 3—It was evident from the action of to day’s wheat market that the bull element is still lacking in aggressive courage. They had the market in their grasp all the morn- ing, except for a weak spot at the opesing, but threw up their hands in the las® hour. despite the fact tnat exporters picked up about sixty loads of wheat &t New York and outports. The Chicago Ppool, after giving the market some assistance early in the day, mysteriously withdrew its sup- December had been carried up to 9874, storm of sei ing orders struck the market, bearing It down to 96%4c, whence it rallied 10 976 at the close- Sellers were aided by cables, porticnlarly the French markets, whica, although opening steadier than expecied, weakened sharpiy during the day aud cosed 30 to 35 poinis off on wheatand 70 points lower on flour. The Liverpool decline was 185@1%, for the day, atter having at one time been 115@21d lower than last night.

The total this week, according to offi- cizl exchange reporis, is aiready 1,000,008 bushels ahead of the sauie period one week ago.

The opening prices at Liverpool wers at a decline of 134d, and the start here was in accordance with the bearishness denoted at the English market. December was ofterea at the opening av from 93¢ 10 9334c, or lc 1o 134c under yesterday’s close. The bulk of the first transactions were at irom 93%4c 10 9314c, and fluctuations were close around the opening figures for three or four mimutes. Following that for half an hour there was & sradual improvement until 943/, or within 340 of yesterday's closing price, was reached. A dis paich from New York reporting 470,000 bushels 0! wheat (nken for export was civen as the reason for the fi mness shown inthe r covery. Ihe very siigh addition 10 the contract wheat here, out of 278 cars Inspected into store since yesterday morning, was, perhaps, in the minds of speculators. Only six cars were contract, and of these five were No. 2 soring, a grade that'cannot be delivered on contracts made 10-day for any de- livery bevond the present month. ‘The advance reached 947 and then one cent ©of it was dropped in & few minutes, 937 veing the nextstage of he fluc.uations; theu up again to 9455 iu an equaily sudden manner and back once more—siowly this time—to 93% The fluc- tuations, although s dden, were not accom panied by much traiing. Scalpers were startied by the sudaen chauges and withdrew from the market, and their absence ad fed to the difficulty commi: 8100 houses experienced in finding buyers or sel ers when ihey had orders 10 execute. New York wired early in the ay thatthe for- eig demand was renswed and fiteen loads taken by 10 o'ciock. The Auuntic pore clearances of wheat afid flaur were ‘once more very heavy, the total beinz 866,000 bushels in wheat ana fiour, 681,700 bushes of it bewg in shape of Wheat. The murket Lecame very weak near ihe close. and while the scalpers would not touch it eariier in the clearances of wheat were again b avy to-day from | day, except in the most timid and_gingerly man- ner, thev quickly caught on to the fuct that it was not being sdequately supported near the end and sold freery. Lecember declined to 9254, and closed at 9234 The closinz cables had much 10 do with the w ness display ed iate in the session, Liverpool clos- ing 1@13d lower and Paris theequivalent of 134 ‘ @17 aniwerp was unchanged. Trude in corn was less active, and the volume of business much smaller. 1'he marke: eased off near the close on expectations of heavy recelpis ump in wheat. o sins the oats market was weak, fn common with corn. ‘I'nis iing was changed to | ficmness later, only to grow weak again toward the close. Irude was quite active in provisious duriug the carly parc of theday. Aneasy teeling preval ed, and prices ru_ed lower arouna the openi.g. Later the demand became more active, and an improve- ment fol owed, which was lost when wheat ana corn weat down. The ieading futures ranged s follows: ARTICLES. flopea High.| Low.

Y., Sept. 3.—Bradstreet's to- morrow will say: Previous activity in all lines of trade is mointained. There is a better tone to de- mand of jobbers, and the volume of business in wool, leather, clothing, hats, groceries and light hardware has increassd. There 1s a be ter re- aquest for woolen and cotton goods. jewelry and rubber goods aud for boots and shoes. Some wholesale merchants at Western centers report the lurgest volume of August trade on record. There has peen an Increase in the consumption of cotton by southern miils. Western iron &nd steei mills have orders to keep them busy until January 1. In the Central Wesi- ern States the bituminous coal strike has had a jurther depressing effect,on the general industrial situation. At the Northwesiisome commercial houses have hatto work overtime to meet the demand for goods, and the warm weather 13 reported to have praciically assured tue Indian corn crop. On the Pacific Coast wheat exports have been siacked by inabllity to secure crews for vessals. Mercantile collections have greatly Improved in some sections. Last week’s general and unprece- dented expansion of prices for staples is contin- ued, wool, cotton and woolen goods, hides, leather, white pine lumber, snshes and aoors, iron and steel bars, billets and rods, wire nails, barbed wire and Southern foundry iron, wheat, corn, iard aud sugar having advanced, and higher prices being ex; ected for boots and shoes. Lower prices are re- corded for cotion, wheat, flour ani coffee. while those for oats, pork, print cio.ns, peiroleum and cont are unchanged. This week’s exports of wheat are the largest with Lwo exceptions—the second week of Septem- ber and the fourth weex of August, 1891 Total shipments amount to 6,268,247 busheis, against 5.149.653 bushels last weex, 3,569 853 bushels 1ast year, 2,260.261 busheis in 1895, 3,207, bushels in 1»94 and 4,902,000 bushels'in 1593 There are ouly 198 business failures reported ! througucnt the Unfted States this week, agalnst 210 last week, 536 in the week one yenr ago, 154 L0 years ago, 207 three years a0 and 379 in the lie week of 1893, There are thirty business fail- ures reported from the Cauadian Dominion this week. Last week the total was thirty-nine and a year ago Iu was thirty. DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 3—R. G. Dyn & Co. in their Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow *will say: Failures during August were jio number not 17 per cent less than in August, 1896, but in amount of liabilities 70.8 smaile: July and Au- gust show a lower average of liabllities per failure than has ever been known in any year, or even in a quarter, of the twenty-three years R. G. Dun & Co. have kept quarteriy records. ‘The improve- ment is also well Jistributed, extending to nearly every important branch of business, but in clott- ing, jewelry and unclassified trading ouly two months of the past forty-seven have shown smaller failures; in seneral stores and furniture only three: in groceries. hats and iron manufactures, ouly four; in chemical manufactures. ouly five, and in clothing manufacture only six months of the forty-seven. The ratio of .defaulted liabilitles to payments at clear ng-houses has been -maliler in July and Au- gust than in any other month since early in 1893, August was ilie first month in which the daily aversge of settlements through clearng-houses exceed-d muterially that of the corresponding month of 1892, the excess at the priucipal citles belug 12.3 per cént.
