The upward tendency was sus- 8 | tained by reports from Kansas City of con- % | siderable dmmage to the Kansas Wheat crop by bugs, rust and rank growth. Cash Wheat everywhere was scarce, and the bulk of it ap- peared to be under Lefter's control. This, to- gether with the fact that Lelter sold 1,400,000 bushels of cash Wheat to British millers yes- terday created a good buylng sentiment. Shorts who had & profit scemed disposed to cover and secure it, while other shorts bought to stop turther losses. On the bulges, however, new shorts were quickly created, and this selling and profit taking by the fortunate longs led to frequent breaks.

NEW YORK, June 8.—The Journal of Com- merce says: The demand for California Dried | Fruits from consumers was light and no specu- | lative interest whatever was manifested. How- ever, as spot stocks of all descriptions in the first hands are light and jobbers are said to be carrying small supplies even at this season a | eteady feeling prevails. Stocks of California Prunes in first hands con- sist almost entirely of §0@70's and 70@80's, but | these sizes do not seem to be wanted. Jobbers are carrying very small supplies of 40@50's and §0@60'e, and of sizes below 90's they are re- ported to have little. There is, howaver, little consuming demand at present and prices are nominal. Apricots are quiet, but offerings Iimited and prices firm with an upward ten- dency. General quotations are 9@12c in boxes, but for some extra fancy fruit up to M%c is demanded. der small supplies of desirable goods the mar- ket is firm. California loose Muscatel Raisins are quiet, but there is little offered, spot or to arrive. The market remains firm. California seedless are limited In stock and firm, but we hear of little demand. Foreign Ralsins are scarce. There Is, however, little demand and prices nominal. Currants are firm, though the inquiry is light. Dates and Figs remain quiet, with prices nominal and unchanged.

NEW YORK, June 3.—Bradstreet’s to-morow will say: The general business situation might well be expressed by the. single word “crops.” Certainly the very flattering outlook reported in nearly all the grain-growing sections of the country, and particularly as regards the grow- ing wheat, has been of a nature to dominate the entire trade situation. From all of the surplus wheat-growing States there comes but one report, that of a large acreage, extremely good weather and crop conditions already fore- shadowing an unprecedented production of the king of cereals. With the steady and favor- able progress making toward a large wheat yield has come the final elimination of the May wheat deal and a considerable quieting down of speculative fever and prices. The close of the week witnesses an immense shrinkage mmvfluw;!umh'hm- ‘with a short 2g0, partly the G.Dll Peaches are slow of sale, but un- | course, of former higher prices, inducing a freer movement of reserve wheat stocks Into sight, not only at home, but abroad. That the ultimate effect of declines has been beneflcial rather than otherwise, however, is evidenced by the increased inquiry of exporters for wheat and corn and the total movement for the week is a record-breaking one for this period of the year. Accompanying the decline in wheat, however, is the sympathetic fall in oats and flour, but corn s higher on crop news and in- creased export demand. Reports as to distributive trade are encour- aging and weak in spite of the vague season. A hopeful feature is the generally reported go0d trade at retail, not only at the West, but @lso East, where unfavorable weather condi- tions have heretofore checked the demand greatly. The volume of orders already —re- ceived for fall delivery by wholesalers is, how- ever, of such satisfactory Pproportions as to lead to the Impression that the fall demand, when it actually materializes, will be the best seen for years. Reports from other industries cogtinue, on the Whole, quite good. The movement of iron and gteel ‘is still of an jmmense volume and the demand for agricultural implements has never been exceeded. The rather better tone reported In some branches of the cotton and wool goods Indus- tries of late remains unimpaired, print cloths having advanced again, while Wool remains rm. Wheat exports for the week reflect a better export inquiry and larger shipments, aggre- gating 5,248,086 bushels, against 4,309,000 bush. els last week, 2,620,000 bushels in this week a year ago, 3,209,000 bushels in 1586, 2,991,000 bush- els in 18% and 2,742,000 bushels in 1504, Business failures in the United States this week show a sharp falling off, numbering only 178, against 231 last week, 162 In 1597, 23 in 1896 and 1895 and 207 in 1894.

Weekly Review of Trade will say to-morro May having been the first full month of actual war the fact that failures in that month were smaller, even though but little, than in the corresponding month last year and nearly 10 per cent smaller than in May, 1595, is some- what encouraging, the more because a year ago the remarkable decrease in May gave proof of the heavy improvement in business which made the year so gratifying in general resuits. Large failures were eight in manufacturing for $2,385,000 this year, against thirteen for $2,965,- 000 last year, and in trading five for $690,000, against ten for §1,572,077 in 1897. Hesitation in extending usual credits soon after the war began naturally affected weak more than strong concerns, but It soon gave place to steady and increasing confidence. Wheat dropped 74 cents {rom the highest point after the May deal culminated and has since been weaker for July because of accounts promising an enormous yield. Those who were nearest the truth last year now predict about 700,000,000 bushels for 1598 and ail accounts make acreage much larger and conditions much better than a_year ago. But with $1 15 still paid for No. 2 red in elevator and a forelgn demand taking 6,204,498 bushels, flour included, from Atlantic ports for the week against 2,165,- 787 last year, and 385,439 from Pacific ports against 74,929 last year, the decline evidently hastens the marketing of surplus and gives the new crop a better chance. It is not less surprising that Western recelpts for the week were 4,263,520 bushels against 2,099,795 last vear, although the crop has been by some supposed to be almost exhausted and Corn receipts were also 7,076,491 bushels, against 6,116,523 last year. Exports of Corn for the week have been 4,881,- 8§21 bushels, against 1,926,566 last vear, and for the first time in their history exports of each grain nave about reached 200,000,000 bushels in the same year. ‘Woolen mills are encouraged by & somewhat larger demand for goods, in part from Govern- ment orders and are averaging about 1 per cent better prices for goods than a month ago. There is not much demand for Wool, which is still held in the main above the views of manufacturers and prices have declined an average of % cent for the month. The Iron and Steel manufacture leads all others in gain over previous years, its con- sumption of pig iron being apparently more than a million tons per month, or 228,000 tons each week, inst 170,780 tons per week in May, 1892, an fncrease of 33.6 per cent. Works beyond the Alleghanies are crowded with busi ness and while some Eastern concerns are ru; ning part time, mostly bar mills, the Govern- ment demand is felt most In this section. Above all others in significance is the wholly unprecedented demand from agricultural fms plement works, which throw in the shade all their past orders, while the plate and rail manufacturers are beating all records, partly with foreign orders, one for Canada’ having been placed at Chicago for 12,000 tons. Struet- ural work is very heavy, the West furnishing a large share of it, and in sheet bars and rods for fencing the orders are large. Prices of pig have been somewhat strengthened by the enor- mous buying orders for Bessemer and basic at_Pittsburg and of charcoal at Chicago. Failures for the week have been 222 in the United States, against 241 last year, and 16 in Canada, against 32 last vear. “TNANCIAL REVIEW. | NEW YORK, June 3.—Bradstreet's Financial A strong tone has been shown in last week's speculation, and generally advancing tendencies In prices have been accompanied by increased activity, though a sharp reaction on Friday followed the news that the United States Senate had adopted the measure for the coinage of the silver seignior- age. The upward movement in prices has at- tracted considerable outside interest, but in the more prominent stocks manipulative (nfluences and the work of bull ciiques can be detected. The strength of Government bonds (the new fours advencing from 121% bid to 123); the fm- provement in rallroad bonds indicating renew- ed activity on the part of the Investors, and more or less buying by London have all’ been sustaining factors, while in this connection the ease of money must not be forgotten. The principal influence continues to be the war, and the street this week has been favorably in- fluenced by expectations that the biockadin of the Spanish squadron at Santiago will en in its destruction and capture, and bring about a restoration of neace. Rumors of an actual Yictory in the same quarter had naturally a decided bullish effect on Wednesday's and though the alleged news was never veri- fled, the market did not exhibit gny decided re- actionary tendency. In fact, holders have been averse to selling stocks even to realize profits, and the professional bears are timid about putting out shorts, doubtless because a victory would result in an immedlate and sharp appre- ciation of prices. The attention is given to the indications of an impending break down of Spain’s chief and only financlal support—the Bank of Spain—and the ease of the London money market has also been to a certain ex- tent an element in connection with the exist- ing bullish speculative ‘sentiment.

For this pur- 0se a peculiarly-shap drum is used. he surface of the head is divided into two unequal parts. In this way the in- strument is made to yield two distinct notes. By varying the intervals between the notes a complete code of signals for every syllable in the larfguage is pro- duced. All the natives understand the code, and by means of it messages can be sent quickly from one village to an- other. The‘drummer in one village sends on to the next the signals which he hears, and so on until the message is delivered. | City Puebla | Branch H; | land, via Asto; . may, hence' De THN CALL CALENDAR. © June, 1880 - NOTICE TO MARINEKS.
