rerrciAii telegkasi to the dispatch.
Sew Yobk, Jan. 30. Special telegrams
to Bra&ttreet'i point out only a few in
stances where general trade has expanded
noticeably during the past week. In indus
trial lines, makers of seasonable dress goods
at Philadelphia are running their ma
chinery at full capacity, in some instances
being reported behind on orders. Cincin
nati wholesale clothiers hare distributed
' larce stocks, and look confidently ahead to a
profitable season. Safe, wagon ana baggy
makers and whisky merchants at that city
are meeting with a large demand. Jobbers
in boots and shoes, hats and caps, dry-goods
and rubber goods at leading interior cities
Chicago, Omaha, Kansas City and St Louis
report thote staples in fair demand, with
rather less activity in groceries, drugs and
hardware.
Bice is taken readily at advancing prices
at the South. Belays by Louisiana planters
in making contracts with factors has checked
general trade some at -New One ins.
The Trade In Cottons and Woolens.
The demand for general merchandise has
stimulated wholesale houses to extend their
territory, Omaha, particularly, haviDg felt
the need. Colder weather through the West
has stimulated general trade some. Southern
buyers ordrygopds appearbackward. Cotton
goods prices are firm, except as to print
cloths, which are weak.
The winter's trade in woolens lacks snap.
"Wool is in only fair demand, with steady
prices. Cotton is less active and one-sixteenth
of a cent lower on increasing pressure
of supplies. The crop movement continues
to favor maximum estimates.
Business failures reported to Bradstreet't
number 271 in the United States this week,
against 357 last week and 286 this week last
year. The total from January 1 to date is
1,531, against 1,023 last year.
Bank clearings at 55 cities in the "United
States for the week ended January 29, are
5991,028,003, a decrease from this week last
year of 12.7 per cent, pointing in part to the
effect on trade of the storm which wrecked
the telegraphic service at Eastern cities.
If ew York City's clearings, which consti
tute 58.3 per cent of the grand total, are 20.8
ner cent less than those for same period last
year, while at 54 other cities the gain is 2
per cent.
The Stock Ztlarkct Is Improving.
The stock market has been improved in
tone and temper by decreasing prospects of
disturbing financial or other legislation.
The slow progress of the Western Railroad
Association attracts unfavorable comment,
bnt the general share market is sustained
by the ease of money. Bonds are in good
demand. The money markets generally
throughout the country are exceptionally
easy. In fact, the heavy increase of surplus
reserves at New York points to a not alto
gether satisfactory demand for funds,
though at a few points West and South
there are proportionately far less surplus
iunds held by the banks.
Wheat opened the week by inclining to
Etrength on reported short export surplus after
which it weakened. Renewed strength was
tent on Wednesday by the 1,000,000 bnshels
available supply decrease, when a reaction
followed; but later, the market having been
oversold and exports increasing, prices
turned sharply upward and trading became
quite active. The gain on the week is lully
4c per bushel, while corn, on reduced
request, fell away ll4c and oats a per
bushel.
statistics of the Movements of Grain.
The decrease in available stocks in the
United States and Canada, both coasts, was
1,435,000 bushels, against 1,575,000 bushels
last week and 1,025,000 bushels iu the like
week of 1890. Exports of wheat and flour
from both coasts, including Montreal, re
ported to Bradstreet't, equal 2,093,145 bush
els, against 2,205,000 bushels last week and
1,613,854 bushels in the like week last year.
Total exports, both coasts, from July 1 to
date, equal 58,730,773 bushel, against 62,
601,726 bushels in 1889-90; 57,526,722
bushels in 1888-89, and 83,416,885 bnshels
in 1SS7-8& Our own estimates, added to
Beerbohm's totals, furnish a total of 350,
008,000 bushels available January 1, 1891,
in Australia, Europe and afloat fa Europe,
in the United States and in farmers' hands
in the United States and the United King
dom, as compared with 419,856,000 bushels
from January 1, 1890; 408,880,000 bushels
in 18S9, and 399.256,000 bushels January 1.
1888.
The value of the foreign trade of the
United States in 1890 was the heaviest on
record, the exports exceeding even those of
188L Gains over 18S9 and 1881, respect
ively, were 3.7 and 3 per cent,
Foreign Trade the HeaTiest on Record.
The value of imports was also the heaviest
on record, exceeding 1889, the next heaviest
year, by 7 per cent. Larger exports of
breadstufls and provisions offset smaller cot
ton and petroleum shipments, the combined
exports of those four great staples exceeding
those of 1889 more than 6 per cent.
In the Dominion of Canada the distribu
tion of staples appears to be relatively most
active in Ontario, where wholesalers report
larce sales of spring goods. In the province
of Quebec, trade is quite dull, though money
is easy and prospects are for improvement.
Collections generally are somewhat disap
pointing. Shoe manufacturers at Montreal
and Quebec City are busy on spring orders.
The Dominion of Canada had 59 failures
this m eek, against 5G last week, and 50 this
week last year. The total number from
January 1 to date h 235, against 210 last
year.
B. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review says
business continues unprecedented in volume
and satisfactory in character.
What the Clearing Honses Show.
Measured byClearingHousereturns, trade
exceeds that of a year ago by about 2i per
cent in amount, and that means a volume of
business larger than in any other year at
this season. The tone in commercial circles
throughout the country is hopeful, and the
money markets are now comparatively easy
at nearly all points.
The drygoods trade is, on the whole, very
satisfactory for the season. The increasing
demand for wool, though still confined to
actual needs for consumption, proves that
the current prices, low as they are, do not
arrest production. Trade in boots and shoes
and leather is somewhat retarded by mone
tary uncertainties, aud there is besides some
reason to suppose that consumption may
not be quite up to expectations. Sales in
the Northwest, judging from Chicago re
ports, appear to exceed last year's, but it is
doubtful whether Eastern sales are larger,
and from Philadelphia and Baltimore come
some indications that Southern sales may
not be as larce.
Tho Iron and Steel Trade.
In the manufacture aud sale of machinery,
implements and tools, business seems to be
larser than evr, and while copper, tin and
lead are all a shade lower for the week, the
consumption of each is very heavy.
The embarrassment in iron aud steel man
ufacture and trade is now clearly perceived
to be the result of a marked shrinkage in
'demands for consumption. Bar iron is very
tttk - 1 1 TiMftm-'.ii vmtii , 'rTr -f- - -Vi '-'-'- -- .v ..,.. .MrT,tr . ... . , . . amn
dull. The demand for plates is very much
smaller than was expected, and for sheets
irregular and unsatisfying, while structural
iron is dull and lower. There is very little
doing in rails.
Accounts from Southern cities indicate
only a fair trade, with improvement at At
lanta and slight improvement at Jackson
ville, but increasing receipts and lower
prices for cotton at New Orleans.
At St Louis business is apparently strong,
and buildinc promises to begin earlier than
usual. At Kansas City and Denver trade
is fair; at Omaha dull, but at St. Paul ex
cellent, snow having helped, aud the flour
trade at Minneapolis is aided by the rise in
wheat
Reports From Various Cities.
The lumber trade is good. At Cin
cinnati manufacturers are active, especially
in machinery. At Detroit iron is weak, but
at Cleveland in good demand, and at Pitts
burg there is no especial change, though the
glass trade is rather dull. Chicago notes
larger trade than a year ago in nearly every
thing excepting dressed beef, the gains in
hides and wool being especially heavy, and
in drygoods and clothing sales are increased,
with better collections. Throughout the
Northwest it is noteworthy that country
banks are well supplied with money, and
while the demand is brisk at Chicago, the
market is easier.
Philadelphia reports a good demand for
combing wool, encouragement in the dry
goods aud shoe trades, and improvement in
paper because of the governmental award to
Pennsylvania makers.
The startling death of Secretary "Windom
caused a sudden fall in the price of bar sil
ver from 47Wd to 46d in London it is
stated in dispatches; but no change what
ever in the financial policy of the Govern
ment is likely to result, though it may easily
happen that a successor, however able, may
not possess the fertility of resources which
Mr. Windom has shown in meeting
emergencies. The operations of the Treasury
during the week have in no way affected the
money market, which is well supplied.

The Correspondence Between Blaine and
Baker on the Reciprocity Question
Blaine Is for Unrestricted Free Trade
With Canada and Partial Reciprocity.
Toeokto, Jan. 30. The Globe to-day
publishes correspondence on the reciprocity
question between Secretary Blaine and Mr.
Baker, and in an article on the subject says:
"Beports set afloat from Ottawa to the effect
that the United States Government had
made a trade proposal, and that the alleged
proposal was only confined to reciprocity in
natural products, have received an effectual
quietus.
"Our Washington correspondent, speak
ing on good authority, states this morning
that a short time ago Sir Julien Paunce
fote, acting, as was believed, at theinstance
of Sir John MacDonald, began to throw out
feelers to the department at Washington for
a reciprocity treaty of some sort. In a
purely informal manner, Mr. Blaine stated
that the United States Government was pre
pared to treat with Great Britain for a
treaty with Canada on the basis of unre
stricted trade, but that it was not ready to
discuss any proposition which fell short of
that. This is the whole history of the trade
proposal said to have been made by the
United States Government, and which the
Canadian Ministerial journals annouueed
had been referred to England.
"Mr. Blaine's letter to Mr. Baker em
phasizes the fact that nothing whatever,
formal or informal, is now in progress be
tween the two' Governments relating to any
trade relations with us, and none will be en
tertained by the authorities at Washington
unless it goes beyond natural products.
"Our Washington correspondent has Mr.
McKinley's authority for denying in toto
Sir John MacDonald's allegation that hints
or suggestions had been given or sent to the
Committee on Ways and Means at Wash
ington relative to duties affecting Canadian
products, but that was an ordinary campaign
roorback in comparison with the elaborate
fiction punctured by Mr. Blaine. The people
of Canada now know exactly where they
stand on this matter. Sir John MacDonald
has simply been humbugging them, and
but for Mr. Blaine's denial, he would
probably have gone on humbugging them
with fables about partial reciprocity until
after the elections. The plain speaking or
Mr. Blaine compels him to face a square
issue, which is whether we shall have abso
lute free trade with our neighbors, or
whether we shall perpetrate the wretched
policy of restriction that injures both us and
them."

156 ?W?ll
Will Receive Their Purchases
FREE
We say 156, because, as usual on Saturdays, the store
will be open till 10 o'clock at night, and, as the free dis
tribution commences at 9 o'clock in the morning-, this will
make 13 hours. Each hour twelve customers receive
their purchases free of charge, so you can readily see that
156 is the total number. Figures don't lie.
At 9:05 the first purchase will be given away; at '9:10
the second; at 9:15 the third, and so on, through the en
tire day until 10 o'clock at night Whichever amount of
money first reaches the cashier after the expiration of
every five minutes will be immediately handed back to
the customer who paid it, whether amount be $50 or 50
cents. Everything is open and above board, and the
fairness of this distribution beyond question.
Patronize any department in the house, make any
purchase, .large or small, and if your money'is first to be
received by the cashier ifter the expiration of one of the
five-minute lapses, you will be promptly called to the
cashier's office and then and there get back all the money
you paid. Among the purchases given away during this
week were Suits and Overcoats of finest make, Wraps
and Jackets of best quality, as well as Shoes, Hats, Fur
nishing Goods, Trunks, Chinaware, etc., etc.
A FEW WORDS ABOUT
MATCHLESS INVENTORY REDUCTIONS,
All canijpt get their goods for nothing those who don'8
can rest assured of paying less for what they buy than
they wjjuld have to pay at any other house in either city.
Our. Inventory Reductions ex'tend to every department,
but (remember this) they will be in force until to-night
only.
