-n ir 4V THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1889, 8 ' . WW. FAVORABLE FUTURE Bradstreet's Beview Shows an Un usual Yolnme of Business, TTCTH A TEBT PROMISING OUTLOOK Bate Wars Have a Depressing Tendency on Railroad Stocks. DICEEASE IN KUMBEE OF FAILUSES. Das'! Eeport Also Takes a Hopeful View or the General Situation. Bradstreet's report shows tnat the holi days and mild weather hare had an adverse effect on trade. Nevertheless the volume of business has been unusually large. The out look for the future is regarded as promising. B. G. Dun & Co. also report a favorable Iprotpect rerxcru. tiled rak to the DisriTCH.l UEW YORK, January 4. The special tel egraphic reports to Bradstreet's this week ihow less activity in trade eenerally than in the preceding weeks. The movement of staple merchandise has been adversely af fected by the New Year's holiday and the mild weather. The volume of business has, however, been exceptionally large for the season, and the feeling is very hopeful in oil lines of trade. Cotton receipts have been very heavy in Louisiana, but lighter an Texas. Later news tells of a heavy drop in cotton receipts at interior towns. The industrial situation is more promis ing, and there have been fewer disturbances between employers and employes than for any preceding week for several years. Gro ceries, drygoods and drugs are relatively the most active, while lumber, leather and hardware are not in specially active request. Collections generally have not improved. Funds, while not actually easier at several sf the larger money centers, are rapidly be coming so since the heavy disbursement for interest, dividends and other settlements on January 1. Stock speculation at New York has been dull and depressed on doubts of the ability or willingness of Western railroad officials to maintain rates. A slight diffi culty between the Rock Island and other companies regarding passenger rates in creased this disposition. Stockholders ap pear to be moving to exercise more decided control over railroad corporations. Bonds are dull and strong under a good invest ment demand. Money at New York has been firm under the January disbursements but is now easier. Call loans 4J5 per cent. During the week 6 per cent was quoted. Foreign exchange is weaker on a supply ot cotton Dills ana lower money a; London. Demand sterling, $4 884 SS; DECREASED LIABILITIES. The bank clearings at 37 cities for 12 months of 18S8 aggregated about 519,191, jOO.OOO, a decline of 4 per cent. The decline is due solely to the heavy decrease in New York City's aggregate of bank clearings, in asmuch as the total for the cities referred to, exclusive of New York, show a net increase over 1887 of L8 per cent The total number of mercantile failures reported to Brad street's daring 1888 is 10,587, abont the same number as were reported in 1880, but 9.7 per cent more than were reported in 18S7. There has, however, been a decrease of 10 per cent in the aggregate of liabilities of failing traders, while the decrease in assets has been but 4 per cent, thus raising the ratio of as sets to liabilities of the failures during 1888 to 52 per cent, as compared with 49) per cent in 1687. Domestic wheat markets are irregular, and close ii lower for cash. Exports have declined, aggregating from both coasts this week but 1,086,369 bushels (wheat and flour as wheat), against 1,229,141 bushels last week. San Francisco exported B1L,000; New York, 65,000; Philadelphia, 14,000,and Baltimore and Montreal each 5,000 bushels of wheat this week. Total exports of wheat (and flour as wheat) both coasts, from July 1 to date, are 52,300,000 bushels, against 76,000,000 in the like portion of 1887-88. Stocks of wheat out of farmers' hands, spe cially reported to Bradstreet's, aggregated 52,740,000 January 1, 1889, a decline of 24 per cent compared with January 1, 1887, when stocks were the heaviest on record. Stocks of wheat have increased but 1,340, 00 (at nearly 1,000 points of accumulation) since December 1, 1888, notwithstanding official visible supply reports, which show an increase of 2.219,000 bushels of wheat to visible stocks at 20 points since December 1 last. Stocks of flour in firpt and second hands are the largest reported, having in creased 191,000 barrels since December 1, 1888, notably at Omaha, Cincinnati, New York City and Boston. There are 65,700 barrels more in stock than one year ago, and 77,440 barrels more than on January 1, 1887, when the stock aggregated 2,024,695. PROMISING OUTLOOK. Drygoods agents and jobbers are arrang ing for spring trade. New business is of strictly moderate proportions. The higher prices demanded for woolen goods make buyers slow. Cotton goods are firm, with fair orders from agents for prints and ging hams. The advance in raw silk last year in 'duces confidence in higher prices for foreign goods. The outlook is promising. Baw wools are strong in price and moderate in demand. The world's visible supply, not including wool in bond in the United States, is estimated at 80,189,157 pounds, against 124,995,096 pounds a year ago. Manufact urers stocks are larger than a year ago. Raw cotton is speculatively higher at New York, 21 to 22 points and spots 1-16 cent, owing to lighter crop movement and better trade at Liverpool. Baw sugars have declined again cent on lower cables and oa'erially weakened demand, in part due to holiday observances. Kenned sugars, though 4 to cent lower at all markets, continued to rule quiet Speculation in coffee at New York has been more confident both here and abroad, in good part to pro tect outstanding speculative contract and the market has been excited, with a gain on the week of 80 to 90 points. Dealings abroad have been relatively lighter, but prices have been firmer. It is stated that a 10-year or 12-year con tract for the copper output at 14c per pound has been virtually concluded between the foreign syndicate and American producers. The dividends of eight leading companies for 1888 are given at $3,940,000, as compared with $1,460,000 the year before. No change in prices. Business failures reported to Bradstreet's number 286 in the United States this week, Against 334 last week and 293 this week last year. Canada had 22 this week, against 30 last week. ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK. H. G. Dnn cfc Co. Report a Blare Hopeful Feeling nt All Points. Kkw Tobk, January 4. R. G. Dnn A Co.' weekly review of trade says a hopeful feeling everywhere prevails. In spite of retarding in fluences, reports of the condition of business are generally favorable. The growth of manu facturing at many Western points is a notable feature, especially in the gas regions, and at points in Northern Illinois and Iowa. Mer chants generally reckon up a large increase in amount of business last year. The tardiness of collections, doe in different sections to short or late crops, to yellow lever, to mild weather, or to retarded distribution or marketing, is a matter of general complaint. At many cities the record of building shows a snrppjing increase, especiaUy at the West. The money markets, thongh usually well sup plied, have a better demand at Philadelphia, Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, Omaha and Sioux City. The volume of currency, practi callr unchanged during December, is now Mte,000,OUO,only$1.500.000belowtholargestever recorded, that of November. A vear aco it was JL3StOOO,000:in July, 1887, only SL3-J0.000.000 and in July, 1SSS, only iL250.0O0,. During; the past week the Treasury has taken in 600,000 more than it has paid out, and the Bank of England statement leads to the be lief that mors money may bs drawn from this eiile. But the merchandise exports for the past month from New York have exceeded those of the previous year L6 per cent, against an in crease of 2.5 per cent in imports, which would indicate an excess of $20,000,000 in exports over imports for the month. The course of the stock market thus far has disappointed those who looked for rapid advance, lleports of rate cut ting have a bad influence. Speculative markets have not been active, excepting for lard, which has declined over He Coflee is Jfc higher, with sales of 263,000. bags; cotton steady, with sales of 368.000 bales, and wheat unchanged, with sales of 20,000,000 bush els for the week. Corn is K lower, and oats nearly lc higher. Crude oil is nearly 1c lower, and refined 2o per gallon lower. While the production last year is believed to have been 5,970,000 cross tons, the deliveries of steel rails cro probably 500,000 tons less than In 1SS7, and about 1,100,000 tons less than the capacity of milK The annual statement of failures, showing that 10,679 firms, or a trifle more than 1 in 10A went into bankruptcy in 18SS. is on the whole especially encouraginc, because the average of liabilities was only $11,595 for the year and 110,738 for tho last quarter. This indicates that a remarkably largo proportion of the failures reported was of concerns doing a small busi ness. Itmavbe noticed that throughout the Western and Southern States, Texas included, the failures were both more numerous and larger in aggregate of liabilities than in tho year preceding, while In Eastern, Middle and Pacflc States an important decrease, in amount of liabilities appears, and also in Texas. The business failures for the week were 387. WHERE LAWYERS THRIVE. Court Calling and Items of News From tho Countv Officials. Court officials have been searching for John K.

EVERY NIGHT I SCRATCHED UNTIL THE SKIN WAS RAW. BODY COV ERED WITH SCALES LIKE SPOTS OF MORTAR. CURED BY THE CUTICURA REMEDIES. I am going to tell you of the extraordinary change your CtrxicURA Remedies performed on me. About the 1st or April last I noticed some red pimples like coming out all over my body, but thought nothing of it until some time later on, when it began to look like spoU of mortar spotted on, and which came off in layers, accompanied with itching. I would scratch every night until I was raw, then the next night the scales, being formed meanwhile, were scratched off again. In vain did I consult all the doctors In the country, but without aid. After giving up all hopes of recovery, I hap pened to see an advertisement in the news paper about your Cuticuka Remedies, and purchased them from my druggist and ob tained almost immediate relief. I began to notice that tho scaly eruptions gradually dropped off and disappeared obo by one, and have been fully cured. I had tho disease thir teen months before I began taking the Cuti cuka Remedies, and in four or five weeks was entirely cured. My disease was eczema and psoriasis. I recommended the Cuticura Remedies to all in my vicinity, and I know of a great many who have taken-them, and thank me for tho knowledge of them, especially mothers who have babes with scaly eruptions on their heads and bodies. I cannot express in words tho thanks to you for what the Cnn curu Remedies have been to me. My body was covered with scales and I was an awful spectacle to behold. Now my skin is as nice and clear as a baby's. GEO. COTEY, Sept. 21. 1S87. Merrill, Wis. Feb. 7, IS83.-Not a trace whatsoever of the disease from which I suffered has shown itself since my cure. GEO.
