CHICAGO, May 20.—Wheat was helped chief- Iy by Paris gossip of cold wet weather and estimated Continental requirements, ~which were reported to be 50,000,000 bushels for the next ten weeks.

Statements on this point have been conflicting, some apparently be- lieving that an extension to August or Septem- ber 1 is possible. Liverpool cables were %@ 25,a lower.

NEW YORK, May 20.—Bradstreet's to-morrow | will say: The excellent forelgn demand at good prices for most products of American ag- riculture constitutes as for some time past the leading feature of the country’s trade. Second only to this and of necessity forming an im- portant link in the chain of good trade may be mentioned the almost uniformly good crop situ- ation, furnishing the best evidence that forelgn demands now and in the future will be ade- quately met. The immense balance of trade already piled up in this country’s favor con- - | stitutes an element of strength which, in its effect on the money market, can hardly be ex- aggerated. Naturally dependent upon and mere- 1y a phase of the forcing demand is the activ- ity visible in nearly all lines of transportation, | showing tbat this industry, like othe s sharing to the full In the preparation of busi- ness having its rise in our heavy export trade. | ‘An increased willingness to regard the exlst- ing war as merely an incident in the country's business seems evident in the trade reports ceived this week. The volume of bank clear- ings, reports of railroad earnings, the move- | ment of prices and the reports received from | the iron and steel trades all seem to concur in indicating a maximum volume of business for the period of the vear, with even greater hope- fulness manifested than for some time past as to a continuance of favorable conditions. There are, it {8 true, some features indicating that the present trade conditions are not uni- versally favorable. While the reports as to the winter and spring wheat crops, both as regards acreage conditions and prospects, seem to favor unprecedented ylelds, advices from the forelgn crops are hardly as favorable, ow- 2 | ing to continued wet and cold weather tend- | ing to check germination. There seems little ‘dnuhl. however, that the acreage in corn will be very large this vear, and that its increased value as a food product will be more -univer- sally recognized both at home and abroad. In manufacturing lines the reports from the wool- en goods trades are mo more favorable, except where the stimulus of army orders imparts ac- tivity to some lines of manufactured products and raw materfals. Business fallures for the week number 211, & falling oft of 3 from last week and compared %’5": ‘;;1 in this week a year ago, 214 In 1896 and n 1895 Business faflures in the Dominion of Canada aggregate 36 against 2 last week, 21 in this week a year ago, 28 in 1896, and 2 in 15%. DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE. NEW YORK, May 20.—R. G. Dun & Co. weekly review of trade to-morrow will say. Growing accustomed to war possibilities, which are mostly far from probabilities of evil and finding the country moving along steadily in its industries, people arefgrasping the idea that it is throwing away some months of ac- tive and profitable life to wait until the war clouds have passed. Western prosperity has s0 greatly overbalanced the timidity of Eastern capital that the actual business done in- creases; railroad earnings promige better for May than & month ago for April, and pay- ments through clearing-houses for the week in May show a gain of 36.0 per cent over last year and 7.5 per cent over 1892, while a month ago the increase over last year was 33.6 per cent, and, compared with 1882, there was & decrease Of 7.2 per cent. Several large con- tracts, kept back for some weeks because of hostilities, have now been placed, and instead of works closing or reducing force returns show the starting of some works long idle, and increase of force and of hours at others. 'Gov- ernment work occupies many establishments, but it counts for little compared with other demands. The key of the situation s the pros- perity of the West, which the altogether u; precedented marketing of breadstuffs has caused, with the prospect of good crops to come. 'These prospects and actual receipts of wheat, amounting to 5,876,716 bushels for the week, against 2,489,160 bushels last year, with advances also in other grain and cattle, have produced a demand for ralls, cars, car ma terials, agricultural implements, boots and shoes and all textile goods which was not anticipated from Eestern indications. Exports of wheat do mot diminish, but in three weeks, from Atlantic ports, flour included, have been 7,955,688 bushels, against 4,775,742 bushels last Year, and from Pacific ports 1,738,123 bushels, against 610,637 bushels last year. The price of May wheat fell 4% cents on Saturday, rose To fo_ Tuesday and ‘closed S¥c higher 'for the week. In iron, notwithstanding the greatest cutput ever known, the demand has caused some Ad- vance in Béssemer plg with only a slight de- cline in the price o forge at Pit s but full quotations are obtained at and Pailadelphia. In bars and sheets markets are dull, but at the West are strongly Sustained by Aemands for car bullding, tin plate_manufacture, and other uses. In plates and structural forms all the worke are fully employed and generally crowded for months ahead. One contract for 6000 tons of armor plate for Great Britain has been taken by works far inland, with another of smaller quantity, showing that the export demand, in spite of higher ocean freights, is not vet ar- rested. Tin fs sustained at 14.50c by large consumption and lake copper at 12 in spite of American production amounting to 22,309 tons for the month, 10 per cent larger than last vear, with a siight decrease in the pro- duction of foreign mines. The textile works are doing rather” better even than the cotton mills in spite of their over production, for some of large importance have recently started again and print cloths are a sixteenth higher. Numerous woolen mills have been pushed to new activity by Government orders, and prices for a few grades of goods are better with & stronger tone in, the market generally, although some mills of importance have stopped as_their or- ders for the season have run out. While sales ot oo 1 are small, 6,338,900 pounds ;m—lm: three weeks past, against 27,963,700 pounds last year, the manufacturers have ample stocks although some are obliged by Government orders to seek in the market grades of wool which they had not expected to require. Faflures for the week have been 250 in the United States against 263 last year, and 19 in Canada against 35 last year. BRADSTREET'S FI NEW YORK, May 20.—Bradstreet's Financial Review will say: Waiting for & decisive action between the hostile fleets in the West Indies has had a tendency to restrict speculation and keep_the public out of the stock market. Lon- don has been g falrly constant seller of stocks here, and the market at times has appeared weary and overbought: yet the undertone has been” strong, the bear element cautlous, and the tendency of prices was in the main toward a higher level. The professionals, which for the time being control the speculation, are in- fluenced more or *--- by a bellef that a vic- tory of any deci'-» character would result in a sharp advance, and the London selling s un- derstood to proceed from a speculative uneasi- ness due to fears about the general state of European politics and not to a distrust of the position here or the _chances of | the - nited tates in the war. Spain’ securities, it may be observed, show renewhd weakness, ~the Spanish fours fn London falling from 3% to 324, while the gold premium at Madrid after dropping to 74 has risen to 89.
