NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—Bradstreet's financial review to-morrow will say: This has been a week of active and excited speculation. The public has come into the market and buying, hich at times assumed an almost reckless appearance, has extended throughout the share list. Large professional interests have taken up varfous parts of the list in succes- sion and found the public ready to fojlow their lead. The conspicuous feature of the week was tho granger s and the most striking dend rate to 1% per cent quarterly, or 6 per cent per_annum. ut on Wednesday, when the market seemed ely to react under taking of profits by traders, kept up the excitement and advances for that day, while it resulted in dealings to the extent of 900,000 shares, one of the largest days the exchange has had In some time. On Thursday, however, thers was more or less reaction throughout the market, profits being taken freely, a falr amount of fresh buying. ket ten was On Friday the given by the large interests. and the close was in many near the highest level of the move- market s certainly a broader one for a long time past.

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW. 2.6 containing NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: Perhaps the most Interesting feature of the general business situation at present {s the air of confidence with which the mercantile community awaits the approach of the fall trade perlod. While of course based in some degree upon the favorable results al- ready achieved in many lines it is unquestion- ably true that the flattering crop outlook at home and the return of peace, with the ex- pectation of benefits to our export trade nat- urally expected to accrue therefrom, make up for much of the feeling thus expressed, | Reflection of the growth of the fall trade is found in the steady expaneion now going on in | bank clearings, the improved demand at higher prices for most makes of iron and steel, the generally favorable rallway earnings, which, in default of a large movement of crops to market, pofnt to a large return trade in manu- factured goods to the agricultural sections, and the reports of continued actlvity in distributive trade, West and South, with slgns of a mod- erate’ Increase in interest at leading Eastern markets, which hitherto have not shared largely in the trade improvement. The immense busi- ness doing In iron and steel products at ad- vanced prices calls attention to the proportion- ately less notable expansion of crude iron pro- duction. Pigiron statistics, in fact, point to an even smaller output for the éurrent month, some of which curtailment, of course, s nat- urally based upon midsummer conditions, Ad- Americans | | | logs control than | Prising gain in business than any other. usual accompaniments | and the | decre inclined to be- | tire de £ it does not become a boom the | Shenango and four Mahoning furnaces under & of Americans in London and | biggest works until' December. | advanced | and bars 10c at Pittsburg. | | the price to $10 40. and decrease, as compared with the correspond- | lake, |B | the demand. | regularity to-day, vances in many grades of iron, notably Besse- mer and Southern pig, are features of the week, as are also higher quotations for steel billets at nearly all markets, wire rods and a great many classes of finishing iron and steel, par- ticularly structural material, Advances in cop- per, on the strong statistical position, and lead are also among the interesting features in the metal trade. At the West iron and steel are particularly active, and the large number of or- Gers already booked make manufacturers fairly independent regarding prices and favor an ad- vance on future siness. The situation in cereals shows but little change. The balance established between phenomenally reduced Vi ible supplies, active milling demand at home and fair export inquiry on the one hand and the very promising crop outlook on the other hand tends to steadiness in prices, and other cereals sympathize with wheat. Reports as to collections the country over are very encouraging. From winter wheat sec- tions especlally reports are very good. Some slowness is noted in payments at the North- west, but this is expected to disappear when the spring wheat crop moves. Business failures are larger in number than last week, aggregating 1% agatnst 157 last week, as compared with 231 in this week a year ago, 264 in 1596, 192 in 1595 and 251 in 1804. Buyers are_appearing In increasing numbers at leading Western markets. Chicago reports increased activity in distributive trade on country demand, with dry goods shipments es- peclally large. Sales of iron and steel are re- stricted by inability to deliver. The short pack of canned salmon has advanced prices. South- ern and Western buyers are arriving at St. Louts, and dry goods, boots and shoes, hats and caps are all active. Advances In 'struc- tural iron are a_ feature, and tin plate and sheet mills are behind on orders. Kansas City, St. Paul., Omaha and Minneapolls report ac- tive trade. East of the Mississippl and north of the Ohio rivers In the West reports of trade are not so flattering, but a steady business is reported doing, with some slight improvement at a number of markets. At Memphis the outlook is for the heaviest business in the history of the city, but dam- age by cotton worms in Texas affects trade at Galveston. In the South Atlantic citles re- ports are of & perceptible improvement In trade. On the Pacific Coast, while business is quiet in California, large crops in Oregon and Washington are expected to make fall trade lively. Oregon fruitmen are doing a good busi- nese and are shipping to California points. At the East more is doing at Baltimore. South- ern buyers are increasing in number, and stocks are reported heavily reduced. Business is active at Pittsburg, iron and steel being es- pectaily so. At Boston and New York a moderate improvement s noted. In wool and woolen goods business is only moderate, and manufacturers buy for present requirements. Orders for men’s wear goods for the spring trade are coming in better. Wheat shipments for the week, including flour, aggregate 3,795,938 bushels, as against 28,606 bushels last week, and compared with 316,803 busheis in this week last year, 2,991.- 693 bushels in the corresponding week in 1896, 2,389,140 bushels in 1895, and 3,182,100 bushels in 1894. Since July 1 this year the experts of wheat aggregate 21,850,666 bushels, against 21,- 432,240 bushels last year.

There s a general advance in miners metals, copper to 1% for lead to $4 07%, and while tin and tin platés are unchanged, both are stronger. Shipments of boots and shoes in three weeks of August are the largest ever known, though but 1.4 per cent larger than in 1865, being 10 per cent larger than last year and 15 per cent larger than in 1892, In spite of the general refusal of buyers to pay advances asked pur- chases are continuous and keep works b many having orders for a month or two ahead.

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.—Liverpool sent higher quotations for Wheat, but it was supposed to be a mere reflection of yesterday's advance here and consequently did not Influence the trading at the start. The shorts were evidntly Jess anxlous than they were yesterday and ap- parently more confident that there would b» more Wheat before the last day of September than bulls would want for legitimate purposes. The weather in the Northwest was of the same favorable character for securing the fine orop of spring Wheat that has generally fa- vored the operation since cutting commenced. W ivemool - cablegram reported offerings of new crop Russian and Danublan Wheat at about the equivalent of from 2 to 4 cents a bushel below the present price —of —shipping parcels of No. 2 Kansas hard Wheat. The sta- Histics of the day's movement, however, were by no means all in favor of the bears. Re- celpts at primary Western markets amounted %o only 563,000 bushels, compared with 842,000 bushels a year ago. The clearances of Wheat ana Flour from Atlantic ports were equal to 77,000 bushels and it was calculated that the Yisible would show a decrease of 1,000,000 bushels. The close was at a loss of 1ic ror September_on the day and ¥c lower for De- cember. Perfect weather and large receipts depressed Corn.

DRIED FRUITS, NUTS, RAISINS, ETC. Apricots are higher again, but it does not make much difference, as there are very few in the State. Peaches and Pears continue firm. New Apples have not opened yet. Prunes ure a puzzle. Everybody seems to be afraid to touch them and no two persons have the same idea as to the size of the crop. Sales of the new crop are away below what they were at this time last year. This is a good thing, for it rather tends to make a firm and active market later on.

In 1870 the population of Russia in Eu- Tope was 65,700,559, or about 85 souls to the square mile of territory. If Poland and Finland be included, the total population will be increased to 73,504,562, but the dens- ity of population will not be changed, as the dense settlement of Poland s neutral- ized by the sparse population of Finland, | In 1897 the total population had increased | to 106,159,141, of which 94188750 were as- signed to Russia in Europe, and the dens- ity of the population had risen to 51 to the square mile. The returns of Russia in Asla are naturally imperfect, but the cen- sus of 1807 gave 23,032,000 souls, and the density of population about '4 to the square mile. or the whole empire the density is 15 to the square mile. This low figure is due to Siberia, where only 1.2 mark the population to the square | mile, ‘and to Central Asia, which gave | only 5.6 to the same territory. Poland is the most densely settled (192 to the square mile), and Caucasia does not greatly differ from the average for European Russia (53.3 to the square mile). If these figures be compared with the returns of the United States census it will be seen that Turopean Russia has more than twice the density of population of the United States (L9); that Poland is as thickly settled as ew Jersey (193.8), and that New Mexico equals Siberla in sparseness of inhabit- ants.—Popular Science Monthl.
