A Bore Hopeful Prospect in Manufactured Goods Is Keported. 1KDDSTEIAL AD MOXEI SITUATION. rsrsci.ii. telegbasi to the disfatcim XewIoek, May 8. Special telegrams to Bradtlrccl't as in preceding weeks, did not show a central growth in the volume of trade in staples, although there are in stances where business is reported qnite ac tive and equal to expectations, even exceed ing records of the like week a Tear ago. Minneapolis tells men a story, as does St. Paul, and, somewhat modified, the like is true of Omaha. There has been n prb aounced gain at Chicago. Nowhere else are announced expanding volumes of business and records in excess or 1890. Cold weather has interrupted buying of somo seasonable goods, but not seriously. "West and South the crop outlook is all that could bo desired. Sugar is sild to be a little late in St. Louis and spring wheat in the Northwest, but except tho probability of n smaller area planted to cotton this month, all acrlcultural staplft promise heavier yields than last ) esr. The Uencrnl Strike Situation. Industrial disturbances the first week in May have been numerous and costly. Nearly 2fi,000 coal miners struck for various causes, nltliougli n general eight-hour de. luaud was not made. Die building and nil led trades have been disturbed by the flxM'hour movement, and (he total niimbsr of Industrial workers uii strike Is not far fiom fiO.OOO, n eoiiipnrsit with M.OVOuiit year Ago.

Jsla reductions in bleached oottoiis have been met on several makes with an advance. lirjifoncli and Wool Markets. Boston reports an improvement In de mand. Announcements of the suspension of the usual flannel tales have lent strength 1 to the tone of the woolen goods market gen erally. Wool is dull, with low grade Aus t trallans in large supply and poor demand. Low grade dnmestlo wool is 1 cent lower. K Leather anil hides are dull without i chnnge. Timber, if quite variable, is in , disappointingly slow demand at Botton and ' Philadelphia, but in good demand at Minneapolis and St. Louis. Tobacco is somewhat more active and a shade higher at Cincinnati, but is blow of sale at Phila delphia. Live stock is firm and higher at Kansas City. At Omaha cattle are higher am a light supply, but hogs are 5 cents lower. Tin plate lis advancing in California on the prospect for avervlarge fruit crop there. Sugar is weak and c off on raw and re fined, on weakness abroad. Domestic de mand is still good, but prices promise to favor buyers till the June fruit-canning de mand sets in. Business Failures and Money Markets. Business failures in the United States number ICG, against 190 last week, and 152 this week last year. The total from January 1 to date is 4,439, against 4,290 last year. Money has been more sensitive during the week, owing to continued exports of gold, with a prospect of further disturbance in European money marKets.owing to Russia's demand for gold, Domestio funds are re turning to New York with freedom, but country collections, with exceptions, are not made so promptly as expected. Bank clearings at S8 cities for the week ended May 7 amount to 51,321,138,064. a de crease from tins week la-t vear of 17 per ceuu .am, cities jsct iorK a total ex cludeda gain ot 2 per cent is shown. Gold shipments, fears of tigbt money and uneasy conditions abroad have created a de pressed tendency in share speculation, al though the harmonious railroad meeting, the punishment of rate cutting and the adoption of plans to render the Western railroad agreement more stringent has a sustaining effect. Bonds are dull and steady. KiporU oftVhcnt nnd Flour. Exports of wheat, nnd of flour as wheat, from both coasts, increased again this week, equalling (from tho Unitcl States ex clusively) 2,273.174 bushels, nealnst 1,873, 270 bushels In tho first week of May, 1800; J.278,000 buhcls in 1889, nnd 1,4CS,000 bushels in 18HH The total from July 1 to Mny 7 is 84, "0.043 bushels.

U, 0, Pun ft Oo,'s weekly review aayn he strngcle to sustain liusslan seenritlas BRalnst the disfavor ol the Jtotbiobllds. the demand for paid by German bankers and tho threatened withdrawal of Kussfan gold from deposits In KncUnd, Franca and Germany, account for niuoh of tho unusual movement ni specie which lias heuu m progress. The advance of half of 1 per cent nt once in the rate charged by the Bank of England, is rightly regarded as a notifies tion that England means to fortify itself in the great struggle by drawing gold from New York. Comes nt tho Most Convenient Time. The sudden demand comes at the season when this market can spare gold with less Inconvenience than nt any other, and the continued issues cf silver notes make the withdrawal from circulation less felt. Though the fact that 47 per cent of customs receipts at New York are now in silver pa per, it shows that the remedy cannot last nlways. Mar starts off with the great plunge in speculative prices, which has for some 'Weeks been anticipated. Wheat fell IS cents in as many days. Sales here last. week were 65,000,000 bushels, with a net decline or t cents, and while corn has declined 2 cents in sympathy, and many speculators have suffered, the sales have been but 11,000,000 bushels. An element of great strength is the ac cumulator evidence that the wheat pros pect at the West is remarkably good, the acreage having increased heavily, a third in tTantai find II nntrtr tn WatlilhtrlAti tTUm unusually cold weather, while injuring fruit and vegetables at many points, does not ap pear to have seriously affected the larger crops, which promise exceptionally well. Hopeful for Manufactured Products. After such high prices as have been' realized, farmers are widely inclined to put in a greater acreage of wheat, oats and corn, especially as the foreign advices foreshadow a larger demand for wheat With such an agricultural outlook the demand for manu factured products of all kinds is likely to improve, and thns the great industries will be helped. Iron already feels the stiffening, influencerand some kinds and grades are a shade higher than a week ago, with a larger bnying of pig iron at unchanged prices. The demand for structural iron is, for the( time, lessened by the extensive strikes in building trades, but lor bar and plates there is more demand. Wool is scarce, and the manufacture not inclined to activity until the new clip comes forward freely. Returns from other points show a rather quiet trade: At Boston only fair, with com plaints in many quarters; at Philadelphia fine wool is 2 cents lower. Collections are, on the whole, somewhat improved, but there is yet much complaint At Hartford trade is picking up. and at Pittsburg light im provement is seen m Bessemer nnd some kinds of manufactured iron. Business nt Western Points. At Cleveland, trade is fairly good in hard, ware, shoes and groceries, but light in dry goods and clothing, and dull in iron. At Detroit cold weather makes trade slack. Lako freights arc lower than at the opening, and at Milwnukee building strlkss affect trade, but at St Paul trade is fair and crop prospects are excellent The extensive private advices received at Chicsgoas to crops have tho saino.tenor.and drygoods, trade Is better, with clothing, aud in shoes satisfactory. Hecclpti of cured nests and lard fall behind last year's, but is an Increase of 25 per oent In woo and 33 per oent lu obeess and butter.
