2? ew York, June 19 SpeciaJ reports to
Brtuhtreet's indicate that at mot of the larger
trade centers, notably Xew York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Memphis, Xew Orleans, St.
Louis and San Francisco, trade is no more
active than has previously been reported;
that it is, in fact, quite as dull as at any
time ithin the current year. On the other
hand, jobbers at such cities as Cleveland,,
Cincinnati, Chicago, Duluth, Minneapolis,
St. Paul and Kansas City in many instances
report signs of an awakening autumn de
mand, and commercial travelers have been
sent out on the road from Omaha in expecta
tion of a-pood trade except in regions here
the corn crop has been damaged.
"Wheat crop advices from the Pacific
coast, from the spring wheat region east of
the Eocky Mountains and from the Central,
"Vetern and Southwestern States, continue
exceptionally favorable, and farmers and in
terior storekeepers aro -confident ot a pros
perous season.
2ho Improvement In Iarge Industries,
In industrial lines there is no-improve-
ment, unless furthw inquiries for iron with
out more buying is construed as an improve
ment. The output of pig iron is increasing,
and the question arises whether it or the de
mand is growing faster. Coal is in slack de
mand, with the large producers taking out!
all thev can mine in a race with the Bead
ing. The restricted output rule is still in-i
force.
Textile manufacturers are not buying
wool freelv. Silk mills report only a
moderate demand. Bleached shirtings areJ
i cent lower, but the demand is less than
anticipated. Woolen goods move slowly.
Operation in new season's cassimeres are
lilit Print cloths continne dull but steadv.
Cotton is 3-1G cent lower on pressure of
supplies. Wool is dull and 1 cent lower on
low grades.
Drvgoods are in quiet midsummer de
mand. Hides, generally, are weaker and
lower, aud at some centers lumber is in
slack demand, with a downward tendency.
Groceries are flat, though sugar is in a little
better demand, which has chocked the down
ward tendency of prices. The Sugar Trust
is selling sugar outside of New York and
2s ew England at J i cent less a pound than
in the region named to meet competition.
Live cattle are in poor demand and 5 and 10
cents lower, but hogs are firmer.
llnsiness failures and Bank Clearings.
Business failures in the United States
number 230, against 22S last week and Hi
this week last year. The total from Janu
ary 1 to date" is 5,730, against 5,235 last
year.
Bank clearings at 53 cities for the week
ended June 18 amount to 1,103,G78,G9S, a
decrease from this week last year of 13.3 per
cent. At 57 cities (Xew York's total ex
cluded), a decrease of 8.3 per cent is shown.
The heavy decline, as compared with the
week last vear, is due to a decrea-e at 2Jew
York of $118,968,000; at Boston ot ?1!),000,
000, and at Philadelphia of 11,700,000.
Although very dull th! specufitive share
market wa fairly stioig until the close of
the week, when the unexpected announce
ment that ?2,750,000 gold was shipped to
Europe caused a general decline. Sugar
Trust and Chicago Gas have been the objects
of characteristic manipulative breaks, and
silver has enjoyed an unexpected advance
with considerable activity in the buUion
certificates.
Tlie Itallroad Situation Improved.
Bailway operating expenses having been
reduced in April enabled the railroads to
show a satistactory gain in net earnings
over April lat year on practically identical
gross receipts for those months. The
Southern roads did best, but the Granger
and Southwestern roads materially im
proved their net earning reports. Tlie Coal
roads lost ground. The total of net earn
incs of 113 companies for April was 15,
541.C38, a gain over April, 1800, of 3.1 per
cent. Xct earnings in April, 1890, showed
a gain over that for April, 18S9, of 14 per
cent, l'or four months of 1891 net railway
earnings amounted to 58,14G,43S, a gain of
5.4 per cent, lollowing a gain of nearly 12
per cent over 1889. In this comparisonthe
Pacific roads make by far the best showing.
The Granger, Central, Western and Trunk
Line aud Southwestern groups all 6how de
creased net receipts.
Available stocks of wheat decreased
2,157,000 bushels last week, against 1, 432,
1)00 bushels the week before, and as com
pared with 458,000 bushels in the second
week of June, 1890. Exports of wheat, and
Hour as wheat, this week amounted to about
2,400,000 bushels, or a little in excess of the
total the week before. In the second week
of June, 1690, 1RS9 and 1888, like exports
were about 1,200,000 bushels each.
The Wheat Shipped Abroad.
Foreign shipments of wheat from the
United States reported since June 27, 1890,
equal 90,079,474 bushels, against 104,033,GS7
bushels in a like portion of 18S9-90. The
price of wheat this week has tended down
ward. Telegrams from the Canadian Dominion
show tliat the late rains have greatly im
proved the crop outlook in Ontario, and
that trade prospects thijre are, therefore,
brighter. In Quebec less buyaoncy is re
ported, interior traders buying very cau
tiously. The boot and shoe industry is de
moralized by the shoe lasters' strike. The
Dominion reports 27 business failures this
week, against 32 last week and IS this week
last year. The total number from January
1 to date is 9JS, against 843 last year.
It. G. Dun & Co.'s review will
soy: While crop reports continue
remarkably favorable, the volume- of
business at present transacted is
not as large as it lus been in other years at
this time. This is in part because ex
"ceptionally hot weather at many points has
induced something like midsummer dull
ness, but the more important cause, un
doubtedly, is that trade in many branches
Las been waiting, for a certainty of improve
ment and definite ordeis before undertaking
new risks.
" lSad Effects of Kceont Tallorcs.
There is aKo some hesitation owing to
recent failures, particularly in Philadelphia.
Credit have been more cautiously given in
the woolen and boot nd shoe trade, and
this has lessened the volume of transactions.
Hence, it is encouraging to find that there
is actual improvement in the demand for
consumption in several of the more impor
tant trades, and manufacturers already be
gin to feel the effects. At Boston more
disposition to buy is noticed in the leather
trade, and steadv orders for boots and shoes,
though mi.tll, give encouragement.
At Philadelplra the w ool trade is waiting,
holders asking more than buyers wish to
give; but the leather trade is healthy with
better prospects. In building much dc-
Jiretsion results from recent failures. Pitts
mrg notes belter demand for manufactured
iron, and Cleveland more demand for pig.
At Cincinnati trade is picking up, and
at Detroit increased in sonic lines, wool
moving at 2 or 3 cents lower prices than a
year ago. Chicago notes wool receipts
double last year's, with an increase of oue
lmlf in theat aud dressed beet, and more
increase in hides, but decrease in flour, corn
and lard.
Trade in Sonio Mercantile Lines.
Sales of drygoods aud shoes continue to
exceed last year's. St. Louis notes some
change by frequent rains, and while lumber,
building, hardware, paint and oil trades are
especially acti e, the general aggregate is
rather less than a year ago, though of fair
volume.
It is important that all Northern and
Southwestern reports mention rain and
'brighter crop prospects. Crop prospects
strengthen confidence at Kansas City, aud
business is improved atLouisville, decidedly
at Montgomery and slightly at .New
Orleans. Trade is small at Memphis; quiet
-at Little Bock; dull at Nashville; better
than usual for the season at Atlanta, and
.better than last year at Jacksonville.
Exports from all quarters indicate little
complaint as to collections. Begarding
money, tney snow almost everywhere au
ample supply for legitimate and safe busi
ness, but it is frequently mentioned that
there is no supply for speculation, and at
St. Louis the market is stiffer at 7 and 8 per
cent; at Kansas City, firm at 8 to 10 per
cent, and at Detroit strong at 7 per cent;
rather stringentat Cleveland, tight at Little
Eock and Atlanta, -close at Nashville, and
in pood demand with firm rates at New Or
leans. From all other points reports indi
cate comparative ease.
An Improvement in Iron and Steel.
It is another hopeful indication that the
demand for iron and steel improves. For
structural iron there is a rush of orders,
though bar iron is only fairly active, but
plates are in good demand. The stagnation
produced in rails by the combination to
hold up prices is shown by the official re
port that sales to June 1 this vear were but
725,370 tons, against 1,080,000 at the same
date last vear, and deliveries but 437,000
tons, against 593,000 last year.
The wool market at New York shows im
provement, and a larger demand by manu
facturers. In woolen goods there is a large
resume of business, and the orders received
show a gain in the consuming de
mand. The orders for foreign goods are
said to be 50 per cent less than a year ago,
but the domestio trade gains. In hides,
large receipts at the West have broken the
combination to lift prices, and breadstuffs,
after risine from5Jfc to 7c in March, sell at-
&c again. Coal is very dull; copper and.
.lead unchanged: tin a shade lower.
Speculation In ureadstnns nas oeen more'
-active, ana wneat is aoont ic nigner, m
spite of the prospect that the yield will be
the largest ever known. Corn is weak and
lower, and oats 4o lower. Cottcm has
fallen 3-lCc, and the prices are the lowest
since 1854, receipts continuing heavy. Cof
fee is a quarter lower, and oil lc lower,,
but pork products a 6hade stronger.

The Mining Institute Roasts the
legislature, hut Refuses
.-TO SAY AS MUCH IS RESOLUTIONS.
Ail' Interesting Session of the Organization
to Wind Up With.
NOT TO MEET AGAIN TILL SEPTEMBER
Tlie Mining Institute people fortunately
talked themselves into better humor as the
session progressed yesterday or certain legis
lators' ears would be by this time burning.
The discussion was anent the proposed
mining law, on which the Legislature au
thorized the expenditure of 5,000 or there
abouts and ended by killing the
measure in the Senate after it had
passed the House. After President
Hugh McMurray had gotten the body in
working order August Steiner read a paper
on the subject of the proposed mining law.
He urged the use of incombustible over
coats in the main haulage ways; also, safetv
lamps, stating that many accidents of late
had been directly traceable to the neglect
to use them. He pronounced absurd the
provision in the mining law allowing man
agers of mines five days' grace after being
notified by the inspectors of the necessity
of ventilation.
Hinted at Crooked Work.
' He thought the Senate might have
amended the law by adding this provision
and another preventing the storage of
quantities of combustibles in mines, instead
of slaughtering everything. He hinted at
crooked work in the Legislature. He urged
that fire bosses should be made to pass ex
amination before getting their appointment.
Mr. Steiner told of a little legerdemain
used in 1881. A bill had been passed in the
.House and the Senate passed it with some
immaterial amendments, aud on its way
back to the House for concurrence
it mysteriously disappeared. He, Steiner,
made a -kick, but was told by one of the
legislative House bosses that he needn't
waste his effort, as had they known in the
House that the bill would pass the Senate
it would never have reached there. Mr.
Steiner thought the bill last winter came to
grief by some such arrangement.
Mr. v andusen, of -Uniontown, wanted to
know why Steiner hadn't prosecuted some
one, but Steiner had an excuse.
Inspector Jam-;s BlicE explained how the
opponents of last winter's bill had emascu
lated the act by slight changes in verbiage.
For instance, "the provision that a fire boss
should thoroughly examine every morning
was made to read, "in every mine which
generates fire damp," so that no examina
tion could have been obligatory on opera
tors until there had probably been great loss
of life.
An Editor Very Roughly Handled.
While on the subject of ventilation, Mr.
Blick picked up the editor of the Colliery
Engineer and spanked him very thoroughly
for siding with and acting as spokesman of
the opponents of the bill. Under the pres
ent law the speaker said the use of locked
safety lamps could not be compelled. In
England the use of such lamps has reduced
the death rate in mines from 1 in 233 per
sons in 1855 to 1 in 553 at present. Mr.
Blick opposed the idea of a new commis
sion and held that all that could be secured
would be the more rigid enforcement of the
present law.
It was evident by the time Mr. Blick got
through that the institute would devote the
day to the discussion, and it did, with an oc
casional tilt with Mr. Hartley, an operator
and also a member of the late commission.
In the afternoon almost all present had a
shy at the matter, and the interest appeared
to grow as the debate progressed.
Mr. Jenkins held that the Legislative
Committee didn't want to hear anything on
the subject, and treated the mine inspectors
as though they had no rights that Legis
latsrs were bound to respect, and Mr. Hart
ley agreed with him on this point, if not on
the general issue.
Indifference or Criminal Neglect.
Mr. Adams deprecated the indifference of
the people in the anthracite region. He
doubted whether indifl'erence was a strong
enough term to apply to the case where hu
man life was in danger. He said the Mine
Commissions wort was well done,
but ,done for naught. The objec
tions ' now made by operators were
not the same they had made. Mr. Adams
had favored giving mules, as well as men,
more air. Now the operators are objecting
to what they once found no fault witn. The
reason given for the minority report was
that Pittsburg men didn't want it. Mr.
Adams said the operators could get a meet
ing whenever they wanted "a hearing, but
the operatives' representatives could not.
Seven-twelfths of the blame rested with tlie
Eepublicau party, as the Legislative Com
mittee was ot that proportion.
Operator Hartley comhattedMr. Adams
from time to time, but the latter drove
straight ahead. Mr. Adams chaiged that
the operators had so arranged that the only
way to get at them was to take the cases
into court, which did not suit him, as he
hadn't time to attend court. The operators
contend that miners can get along comfort
ably with 100 cubic feet of air per minute,
while miners contend that they need 150
feet per minute.
Mr. Adams said miners must pay more at
tention to the personnel of the men they send
toHarrisburg. Men who know nothing of
mines are controlled by influences that
miners know nothing of, "and are furnished
with data or ammunition to fight miners.
Composition of the Committee.
He said the Committee on Mines and
3Iining was picked from counties generally
without interest in mining. He read the
list. Thompson, of Dauphin, once a miner,
but for years a corporation lawyer; Bates, of
Union countv, a manufacturer, who was in
imical; Keiffer, of Schuylkill; Newell, of
Bradford, a dentist; Becker, of Philadel
phia; Crawford, iu whose district there is
not a mine; Heinz, of Luzerne, who voted
right; McDonald, of Scranton, ditto; Mona
ghan, ditto.
Secretary Seddon offered a resolution
censuring the Senate Committee for its
action. Mr. Yandusen demanded if a vote
were taken that a record be made, as he
contended it wasn't good politics.
Messrs. Steiner and Jenkinsdid not care if
their names were paraded as censurers to
the committee. The latter referred to the
"junketing" which investigated mining dis
asters as a drunken committee. He said
they were no better than he and had no more
rights, though they were members of the
Legislature. Steiner and Jenkins didn't
care a continental for being spotted.
Mr. Hartley insisted that the committee

could not serve' both sides and that it had
just as much right to favor the operators as
it would have to favor the miners. He said
he had endeavored to do his duty and had
worked hard for what he thought was right.
The Resolution Withdrawn.
Mr. Blick thought the resolution
of censure was deserved, but im
politic. Finally it was withdrawn
and a substitute offered by Mr. Adams was
adopted. It expresses disappointment in
the Senate Committee on Mines and Mining
not favorably reporting the majority re
port. ...

BLOOD
Experience is a dear teacher, but some people won't even profit from experience. There is a clothing manufacturer in New
York City who more than once has had his financial fingers burned on account of his proclivities for producing more goods than
he can sell. But the law of supply and demand seems to have no terrors for this enterprising (?) firm, as the following telegram
received by us last Monday would plainly indicate:
J. -KAUFMANN & BROS., Pittsburg, Pa.:
Have 670 more Men's Cheviot and Homespun Suits, same as those for which you paid $13 at start of season. They cost
$12 to manufacture. What is your best spot cash offer for balance? Wire answer at our expense. S. L. & CO.
As we were' not in need of any goods-we hesitated as to the advisability of making any offer at all. On second
thought, however, we concluded that if we could buy the goods at OUR OWN PRICE we would take them, Accordingly we
replied that we were ready to close out the lot at $8, little thinking, however, that our offer would be accepted. In this we were
mistaken, however, for on the same afternoon the wires flashed back to us the following reply:
y. KAUFMANN & BROS.,
Your offer of eight dollars
The rest is easily told. The 670 Suits thus closed out were received by us yesterday afternoon. We have concluded not
to put them into our regular stock, but put them on two special tables and to offer them to our customers to-day at a profit of $1
per suit. This will be a nice turn for us and mighty cheap suits for you. Just think! Only $9 for the very same suits which we
sold at the beginning of the season for $15. Yes, and there's more than one clothing house in- town that asks from $16 to $18
for the identical goods, bought from the same manufacturer.
But no further talk is necessary. 670 wise men will purchase these 670 suits to-day. Will you be one of them?
