Bradstreet's Financial Review. l NEW YORK, June 1.—Bradstreet's Financlal Review will say to-morrow: Speculative deal- ings have aga{n been of a restricted kind and the public appear to develop no real Interest In the stock market. The Investment demand for bonds and dividend-paying stocks continues to be exceilent and it is apparent that the floating supply of such securities is consider- -ably smaller than in recent years. The de- velopments of the week have in the main been of a favorable character. London has reopened to the successful outcome of the war in South Africa and the assurances that the gold mines of the Rand are safe in an advance in which | American stocks have participated to a_cer- | taln extent. The buying of our securities for foreign account has not, however, been on a sufficiently large scale to have much practical influence upon the tone of the market here or upon current quotations for speculative shares. Another development is the decline of exchange rates to a level which puts an end to any apprehension as to shipments of gold. Early this week it became apparent that no further withdrawals ‘of specie either from London or Paris would be made and the situation in this respect hos shaped ltself so that the gold outflow is over for the season. Money is be- coming decldedly easjer in London and the other foreign financial centers, open discount at the British capital being down to 2% cent, a drop of 1ia per cent in a month.

In textiles the situation is rather de- pressed, although some improvement in re- orders for dry goods s noted at leading job- bing centers. Print cloths have been marked down by the Fall River committee, but this is a tardy recognition of hitherto known facts. Manufacturers of woolen goods are out of the market for raw wool and the outlook at pres- nt favors the lightweight woolens upon open- ng at lower values. Boots and shoes are dull nd a number of Eastern factories are short of orders. The hand-to-mouth domestic de- mand for iron and steel continues, but the number of small orders received Is taken to indicate that consumers are practically bare of stocks and any general shut-down for a month’s time, such as s supposed, might lead to a scramble for supplies. Export business continues good, though limited by the scarcity of freight room. Southern pig iron and steel rails noting mcst inquiry. The situation in the pipe market is no better and plates are also weaker. Concessions of fractions of a dollar are apparently easily obtained for pig iron, but throughout the trade the feeling is rather more cheerful, the feeling being that lower prices will on the one hand encourage consumptive demand and on the other hand tend to restrict production by less economical plants. * The settlement of the wage situation this vear might also be a possible source of restriction of prdduction.

Dun’s Review of Trade. PR B S E L R S E VER P NEW YORK, June 1—R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade to-morrow will sa; While returns of fallures in May by branches of business cannot be given until next week, it can be stated that not over six months in more than six years have shown as large de- feulted llabilities as May will show, owing to the fallure of a firm principally engaged in cotton brokerage. The reported llabilities of this one firm exceed those of all firms failing in every menth but cne last year, and in every month but three in 1§%. Manufacturing fail- urgg in four weeks of May were only $2,45, 53 and trading fallures $4,720,301, while urés In brokerage and “other commerck lines amounted to $13,928,522., The decline in cotton to 9 cents and the rediction of regular print_cloths to 3% cents at Fall River, with outside sales at 3 cents, indicate that specula- tion in this case may have somewhat checked business and industry. The rapid progress of events In Africa, with | propects that the war will enl soon and the gold supply from that region will be resumed, has naturally affected business and security markets on both sides of the ocean.

July opened %c higher at 67%@67%c. and while the mood was on advanced to 67% 67%c. This was in spite of rams in the North- west. There were reports early that the rains were not general, but the impression grew de- spite the conflicting reports that the breaking of the drought was accomplished. This drove July wheat back to 68%c, where the market steadled, and after fluctuating drowsily above that figire closed steady at 86%@dic, only ¥%e under yesterday. Trade was quiet. The corn market was firm on buying by some of the old bull crowd, light receipts and a fair | cash demand. Trade was quiet. July closed | fiem, %@%e higher. Oa'ts were dull. July closed a shade down.
