CLEASIXGS AND BUSINESS FAILURES
fpriCIAt. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
XewVokk, March 18. Rain and cold
weather in the South and Southwest, a low
range of temperature, with snow "West and
Korthwest, and the bad condition of coun
try roads in the same range of territory, as
per special telegrams to Brcdstreei's, have
checked, to some extent, shipments of
seasonable goods, prevented the free mar
keting of farm products and resulted in
further delay of mercantile collections.
The most active general trade, relatively,
Sb reported from Omaha, Chicago aud Kan
sas City. Sew Orleans sends word that
interior buyers are not anticipating wants
much. Baltimore is pushing trade less in
the South and more in fields not hitherto
sought by travelers from that city. Most
( other centers of Southern trade report busi
ness quite dull or only moderately active.
Pittsburg reports increased demand from
country merchants, but no improvement in
iron. Cincinnati reports business very dull
in some lines, but a fair trade in clothing,
shoes, groceries and provisionx
Unfavorable Iron Markets Continue.
The latter feature is true at most of the
larger cities if orth and "West. Many Ohio
pig iron furnaces are planning to go out of
blast by the end of March. Philadelphia
admits lower prices for iron, a fair demaud
but low prices for knit goods and increased
interest in leather. Xew England shoe
factories are quite active, and rubber prices
have advanced.
Live stock at Western centers are 510c
lower. Chestnut coal is 25c higher per ton.
Reports of January net earnings of 108
railway companies show a decrease of 7.4
per cent, contrasted with January a year
ago. In December, IS91, the increase of net
over the total in that month in 1890 was 15
per cent, and in .November 13 per cent The
Pennsylvania anil Northern and Southern
Pacific systems, Xew York, Lake Erie and
Western', East Tennessee andLouisvilleand
Nashville show heavier declines in net
earnings for January.
Woolen goods have not been strong, but
manufacturers evidently resard present
prices for raw wools as low, having bought
lrcely at some concessions as to price dur
ing the week. Carpets are in improved re
quest. The State or the Cotton Trade.
Raw cotton loses Jc after fluctuating
with foreign coal strike prospects and re-.
duced home receipts. Cotton goods ship
ments from Eastern mills aud jobbers con
tinue heavy. Exports to China are in
creased. Print cloths are firm and higher.
Speculation in the stock market-is ex
cessively dull and narrow, but prices arc
comparatively well sustained, and even
strong in some instances. The expectation
of a "spring rise" seems to influence the
disposition of operators, while, in spite of
a banking lailure at St. Petersburg, the
passage iuto liquidation of a house which
has been in difficulties for over a year and
the announcement that Baring's assets will
remain with the Bank of England, appear
to create a better prospect lor foreign buy
ing of "Americans" The Richmond Ter
minal reorganization plan was the chief
financial event of the week, although the
magnitude of the task thus undertaken
seems to create some doubt in Wall street
about its success.
The bond market has been lifeless. For
eign exchange is inactive at a slight decline.
The absence of foreign participation in the
securities makes the cutting off one of the
usual sources of activity. So narrow is the
market that sales of bills against gold ship
ments have been impossible.
The Export Movements of Wheat.
Considerable dissatisfaction is heard at
the refusal of prices of wheat to advance,
thouzh the statistical basis for materially
higher quotations is not apparent. Ex
ports, including flour, both coasts, this
week, equal 3,818,000 bushels, a little in ex
cess of the week before, a gain of 40 per
CPUt over the total shipped in the like week
la-t year, and more than twice as much as
in the week two year ago.
Bank clearings" at 58 cities in the TJnited
States for the past seven davs aggregate
51.200,000,000, about 4.7 per cent less than
last week, but 15.2 per cent more than in
the third week of March, 189L
Iherc were 21U failures in the united
States this week, against 251 a neek ago.
The total from January 1 to date is almost
equal to that in like portions of last year
and the year before, but is 300 less than in
12 weeks of 1889. About 84 per cent of
this week's failures were of concerns hav
ing J5,000 capital or less, while 9 per cent
f 'them had between ?5,000 and ?20,000.
There were only five failures of enterprises
employing ?20,000 or more capital eacli.
K. G. Dnn's Complaint of the Weather.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review will
say:
Storms, bad weather and bad roads have
niucn retarded trade during the past week,
reducing the movement of grain and cur
tailing retail trade in many cities; but;
nevertheless, reports indicate, on the whole,
an improvement in the distribution of goods
End a fairly sustained demand, in some
branches increasing; for manufactured
products.
There is no trouble anywhere about
money, even the Southern mailrets beinir
fairly supplied, with a light but rather bet
tor demana, while at the West the demand
if. still met bv an ample supply. While im
ports of merchandise show a larce increase
over last vcar lor half ot March, 10.4 per
cent, there alo appears an Incieaso in do
mestic exports lortwo weeksorMarchabont
C per cent; but vast supplies of some great
staples have pioduced phenomenally low
pi ices during the past week. These low
prices cause not a little dishcartennient in
some branches ol trade, although the move
ment of products continues active.
Reports from inteiior cities are generally
more encouraging. At Boston a steady in
crease is seen in the dij-goods trade. Ship
ments of boots and shoes slishtlv exceed
those of last vear for tho week. At Phila
delphia excellent distribution of drygoods
is seen.
At Pittsburg reports are ot a poor demand
iormanumciureu iron, out a good trade in
glass. At CIe eland trade improves and ex
ceeds last year's, tliousli nijr ir0n and ore
arc dull. At Cincinnati the shoo manufac
turer Is busy, but a stake has stopped tho
Harness and saddlerjbusincss.
At Chicago and the West.
At Chicago excellent trade is sceii in dry
goods and shoes, though the clothing trade
Jails behind on account or the weather, hut
for the year exceeds tint of last year. Ee
ccipts of wheat are three times, of barley
and dressed beef twico that of last year, and
nn increase of two-thirds is seen in flour, a
thiid in rye and cattle, and somo increase'in
butter, with a slight decicase in hides and
wool and large decrease in hogs, cured
nieats'and lard.
At Milwaukee jobbing trade equals that of
Hst year's, in spite of bad road-, and at
Omaha business is very good in all lnes. At
St. I'aul and Minneapolis jobbing trade was
never so active lor the season, though wheat
receipts are reduced by tho storm. At
Kansas Citv trade is faiily satisfactory and
cattlo receipts heavy nt lower prices. At
6t. Louis wholesale distribution in all lines
much exceeds last year's, and collections
are unusually easy, country merchants buy
ing not only more goods but better quali
ties. At Louisville weather retards, but trado
at Montgomery Is fair; at Savannah good,
with brieht prospects, and at Xew Oilcans
slightly improved.sugar being stiong.thougU
cotton declines with heavy receipts.
The Changes in Produce Markets.
Speculation In breadstuff's has been de
pressed by the official report or wheat in
farmers' hands, andon moderate sales wheat
lias declined 3Jc; corn, ljc, and oats, 2c In
pork products no change appears, nor in
coffee, but oil is 2Ve lower.
cline to GJJc has been followed by a recovery
to 6.81c, but receipts and exports lor tho
week both exceed last year's.
In the great manufactures there is a gen
eral activity. Sales of pig iron at low fig
ures continue, some makers oven contract
ing for such prices for the whole of this
year. The demand for bar iron is dull, but
lor plates a little better, though prices are
demoralised. The market for copper seems
to indicate t-oinc agreement, ana is stronger,
but coal is dull.

A Gilt-Ede Investment.
Since locating their new steel plant at
Aliquippa, the Aliquippa Steel Company
have plotted some of their property and
will shortly place it on the market. Con
trarv to the usual custom with land com
panies, the factories will be built and run
ning before the lots are sold, instead of
selling lots and expecting to locate manu
factories afterward. The Aliquippa Steel
Company, employing between 400 and 600
men, and the big shovel works of the J. C.
Russell Company are already on the
ground, a big tin-plate mill will be started
shortly, and necotiations are pending for
several other factories to locate. The com
pany have taken great care to lay the
foundation of a prosperous town. The
natural beauty and health of the old picnic
grounds, with" its pure water and elegant
drainage, need no comment. As the desire
of the steel company is to found a substan
tial town rather than make a fortune from
the sale of lots as a land speculation, the
prices have been placed very low. If you
are looking for an investment that will
double or triple in value in a short time it
will be v ell to investigate this matter. It
has been the history of all manufacturing
towns that when started on a legitimate
basis such phenomenal increase is assured,
and the first purchasers make the most
money. Plans and particulars can be had
prior to the sale in April at the office of the
Aliquippa Steel Company, room 30, "VVest
inghouse building, corner of Penn and
Ninth street, Pittsburg.
TnE one-half of lots numbered 13 and 15,
Ohio street, Allegheny, will be offered at
public sale to-day at 2 r. m., on the
premises.
Aliquippa
will have a big shovel works.

A fair combination, but not fairer than
the illustration as seen on
late importations of
French Challis,
ARE THEY?
One might think the fine, creamy,
salmon, pink, lavender and green
tinted grounds had served as canvas
for some skilled artist, so perfect the
Chrysanthemums, old fashioned
Flags, Cresent designs, etc., etc. One
can but think of exquisite Tea Gowns
in Embryo only awaiting the touch
of the artist modiste! They're the
new Satin Striped Challis new and

heeded, and we'd not blame you.

buy, or they d not come. That s
logic, but the Silks are
