LACK OF CAPITAL IS THE FIRST. The State of Trada Still Shows Only a Moderate Improvement, and Bank Clearings Decrease. THEIE05 TEADE IS STILL KO BL11EK The Ixfiettd Ccznellmlle Elrftt Next Week Ets & Btd Effect on Inspects. lErtCIALTELEGtlAJl TO THE DIrATCn.l Xnv York, Feb. 6. Special telegrams to Bradstreet's show only a moderate im provement in the state of general trade. Recent ill-founded reports of a much I:rer volume of trade last month than in January, 1690, are best answered with our report of bank clearings for Januarv, 1S91, winch Fhows a decrease as compared with the like month a year ago. The decrease at .New York and other Eastern cities is due to a reduced railway share speculation, interrupted telegraphic communication, and only a moderate volume of ceneral trade. Ueports from 55 cities fur nish a total of Sl.yo9.ai5.421, or C per cent less than in January, lS'JJ, and only a little more than in Januarv, 18S9. Xcw York City's clearings were f J,95G,999.3G6, showing a decline, compared with the like month a year ago, ol 9.7 per cent, and totals at 54 re maining cities, which have been increasing each month relatively much faster than at 2Cew York, for last month amount to $2,003. 916,053. a gain of less than 51,300,000 only 7-100 ot 1 per cent. The Stock Market Hull and strong. Share speculations thoueh very dull, show strength and advancing tendencies, due to the case of monev, anticipated im provement in railroad earnings and the bullish position of leading onerators. The money market continues particularly easy, and rates for funds both at Xeir York and generally elewhere throughout the country are practically unchanged. There is a better demand at a lew points West, but the banks appear to be supplied. Mercantile Collec tions are onl fainy prompt. The iron industry shows no improve ment, beyond the lact that it is no worse. Consumers arc not anticipating wants, and Jinces, while unchanged, tcnd.to weakness. Anthracite coal is rather more unfavorably tituated. Leading producers exceeded the allotted output in Januarv, and arc re stricted to producing 2,000,009 tons in Feb ruary. Meanwhile cold weather appears to lack staying quilities, and the maikct is .dull and weaU, except at the Xorihwet Copper is form and unchanged, and lum ber and leather are in only steady demand nt former prices. Gains in the distribution of general merchandise are noticeable at Chicago, St, Paul, Dulutb, Omaha and Kansas City, drygood, clothing, boots and ehoes being first in request. There are also jrtins in hardware, drugs, paints and grocery staples, St. Louis reporting them conspicu ous. Canses of Business Failures Analyzed Btads'rcet's analysis of the causes of 10,173 business lailurcs in the United States in 1890, shows that 40 per cent of thcni. with 2G per cent ol the aggresate 5175,000.000 liabilities, were due primarily to lack or capital or to trying to lo too much business with the capital available; and that Yli per cent ol them, with 24 per cent of the liabili ties, were caused by disaster or the late financial strinscncy; that 19 per cent of them, with 12 per cent of the total liabili ties, were due to incompetency, and that 4 per cent of them, with a like proportion ot liabilities, were due in the first instance to fraudulent disposition of property. Business failures In the United States this week number 270, against 271 last week, and 259 this week last jcar. The total fioni January to date is l.feOl, against 1,887 last year. Drygoods are in improved demand, but the movement still lacks snap. Trade at the East, as a who!", is fair. Boston job ber's sales are ahead of those for the same five weeks of last year. Ginghams and wash fabrics and woolen dress goods are generally most active. Brown and bleached sheetings move freely. Prices are firm and unchanged. IJuslness In 'Wool and Cotton. "Wool is in fair demaud East and "West, and is quoted firm. Carpet wool grades are more active. Cotton continues weak and is 1-16 cent lower on improved prospects for a large crop. "With cotton receipts lrom this time tn September 1 equal to those for a like period in 1890, the crop would amount to 7,833,000 bales; but January receipts were 25 per cent heavier than in 1890. "Wheat has been nervous and excited dur ing the w eek.declimng on a moderate official Visible supply decrease and increased sup plies aflo it, and advancing ou a heavy in crease in available domestic stocks, after which weakness again appeared. The ad vance is 1 cents on the week, corn ad vancing 1 cents also, while oats went off half a cent. The stocks available fell away over 2,000,000 bushels last week, less than in the like week, 1890, but more than in the preceding week this year. Exports of wheat (and flour as wheat), both coasts, as reported to liraditreel's, equal 1,3GG.G28 bushels, iigainst 2,214,000 bushels in the like week of 1890, and 2,093,000 bushels in the pre ceding week o. 18'JL Grain Exported and on Hand. Total exports both coasts (including Montreal) from Julyl to date, equal 60,097, 401 bushels, against 65,000,000 bushels in a like portion of 18S9-y0, 59,000,000 bushels the previous cereal year, and 86,000,000 bushels in 1887-88. Beerbohm's total of stocks of wheat at principal storage points in Europe, aud rlioat for Europe, ah our totals oi avail able United States and Cm ida, on Febru ary 1. 1891, equal 105,000,000 by not quite 500,000 bushels less than were so held one year ago. but 6,400,000 bushels less than on January 1. 1891. Our Saa Francisco cor respondent wired February 5, after personal investigation, that San Joaquin Valley was still in great need oi raiu. ' At the principal cities in the Province of Quebec, general trade is ot moderate volume and promises to remain so until navigation opens. There is .i lair ohm col business in Ontario, m some instances in excessof the totals lor Jauury, 1890. Interest in the Dominion elections tends to interrupt busi ness some. In Manitoba the wheat move ment continuous slow, and the tendency is to light purchases of spring goods. Business Failures In Canada. The Dominion of Canada reports 58 fail ures this week, cgainst 59 last week, and 57 this week last year. The total number from January 1, to date, is L93, against 2G7 last jear. The most conspicuous cause ol busi ness failures in the Dominion m 1S90 was lack ot capital, incompetency ranking sec ond, disaster or financial stringency third. It. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review says t Though at a higher level of prices, business continues to exceed last year's on the whole, and is in character more healthy and con servative than usual. The disposition in creases to count upon the future, for this year at least, with confidence, but specula tive tendencies are in most directions held in check by the conviction that consumers' demands may not prove quite equal to last j ear's on accouut of short crop. The avir nge prices o .omii:(idiiics advance nearly half of 1 per cent for the past wees., but the advance is almost exclusively iu products of which crops were short. Trade Generally Fair for tho Season. Reports this week from all parts of the . - country indicate a fair volume of trade for the season, easy money, and collections gen ially fair, though at a few Western points, and in the grocery trade at Philadelphia, rather slow. The South has the embarrass ment of a further decline in the price of cotton, but receipts are large, and general trade is somewhat better at New Orleans, though receipts of sugar are light. Trade is improved at Atlanta, fair in volume, but quite cautious at Memphis, and dull at present, but with bright prospects at Savan nah. Business at St Louis is of fair volume, but not so well sustained as before; at Kansas City a fair average for the season; at Denver improving, and at Omaha and Milwaukee quiet. Chicago notes a slight increase over last jear iu all grain, and good increase in cured meats, hides and oil, heavy decrease in dressed beef, lard and butter, larger sales of drj coods, clothing and shoes, and an enormous cattle trade, 10 per Cent greater than a year ago, and the largest ever re corded in any mouth. Trade in the Eastern Interior. Detroit notes fair trade and orders, while Cleveland has good trade in hardware and drvgoods, though country merchants are unusually conservative. At Cincinnati general trade is quiet, bat in tropical fruits there is much activity. At Pittsburg iron is quieter, though a better demand lor rails is seeu, but a great strike of Connellsville coke workers is ex pected Tuesday. Philadelphia notes a prosperous spring business in shoes and leather and in drjgoods, with the clothing trade healthier than for years, and a lairly satisfactory trade in groceries and chemicals, with liquors and tobacco quiet. At Boston the feature is the good trade in wool, ex ceeding last year's, and leather and hides are firm, but many shoe factories are on short time, spring business being backward aud buyers cautious. Xo Change In Iron and Steel. No especial change is seen in iron and steel, but the resumption of work by some Alabama furnaces increases the excess of production over present consumption. At many bur mills scarcity of orders is felt, and structural and plate iron are irregular. Heavy exports of copperare reported, 8,000, 000 pounds of lake and 2.000,000 Montana, nut domestic cousumers hold oil. Tin is lower at 20.1 cents; lead steady. The coal trade is still congested, the Jauuary output having been 2,525,000 tons, a quarter more than last year, and some mines are cttoDDintr. The cotton manufacture shows no material change, though the trade in goods continues fair for the season. In the woolen manu facture signs of improvement multiply, and while trade in goods is cautious it is steady and large. The demand for wool of all kinds lifts the price a little, but especially for the coarser and worsted grades. "Wheat has advanced 1 cents, and corn and oats nearly 1 cent on moderate sales, lard and hogs being also 10 cents jj4 100 pounds stronger, and oil 2 cents, but cot ton is a sixteenth lower. The exports from Xcw York are now falling below last year's, especially in breadstuffs. But there is no present reason to apprehend anyunfavorable influence from foreign trade, and the treas ury has iu no way disturbed finances.

A STKO"G INDORSEMENT IS tho Building Trades Council. At a meeting of the Building Trades Council of Western Pennsylvania, held January 24, 1891, the following resolutions were carried: "Whereas, The hat and furnishing house of Ituben, on Smithfield street, employs salesmen belonging to the Ketail Clerks' National Protective Association, Local Union Xo. 8, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, and "Whereas, A rival clerks' organization is attempting to unjustly declare the above firm non-union, though the hours and wages do not conflict; there. ore Itesolved. That we, the Building Trades Council of Allegheny county, do hereby sustain and indorse the above firm as strictly union in every respect, and Eesolved, That we earnestly recommend the Buben store to the good will, support and patronage of all labor organizations.

The popular poem is authority for the statement that "A soldier of the legion lay dying at Algiers." The chances are tha't the poem is correct, but it is quite probable that even with the "lack of patient nursing and the dearth of woman's tears," the sol dier aforesaid would have recovered if he nad had a good supply of Marvin's Algiers biscuits, one of the best and most healthful cakes on the market. ja28,31fe3,7 HOWARD FIELDING falls In love with athletics and takes to betting on prize fights.

LAST KAUFMANNQ' FREE DISTRIBUTION MERCHANDISE. When the doors will close at io o'clock to-night the last lucky patron will have received his (or her") purchase free of charge, and one of the most memorable, liberal and exciting enterprises in the commercial annals of Pittsburg will be a thing of the past- We have received hundreds of letters from contemplating purchasers praying for a brief respite, but, much as we would like to accommodate these people, we cannot- in justice to ourselves, grant their request. The expense is too heavy. Even now it has cost us a small fortune. But for the fact that we have given our pledge and promise to keep up this free distribution till to-night we should have discontinued it ere this. Now, then, let all who don't want to miss this chance to get a Suit or Overcoat, Cloak or Wrap, a Hat or Pair of Shoes.etc., gratis, COME IN TO-DAY. Precisely at 9 o'clock this morning the distribu tion will begin, and after every lapse of 5 minutes, until 10 o'clock to-night; a purchase will be given away. Whatever amount of money, large or small, whether 50c or S50, is first received by the cashier after each such 5 minutes lapse, will be promptly handed back to the customer who paid it. 156 purchases in all will (must) thus be given away to-day, and why can't you be one of the lucky recipients? You may if you buy. Why not try ? You risk nothing. If you don't get your purchase free, you certainly will have the satisfaction of having paid less for it than the goods could possibly have been got for elsewhere. Our present reductions, all over the store, have never before been equaled not even by ourselves. So, whether you'll be one of the 156 lucky ones or not, you're bound to do well, if you make your purchase to-day.
