Special telegrams to Jlradstred's from the more important dis tributins centers indicate clearly that mid summer dullness is at hand. The more encouraiinjj advices are from St. Paul, Omaha, Kansas City and St Louis. The first reports some gains in movement of goods in all staple lines. Kansas City announces that its June vol ume of trade is in eicess of that for 1SU1, with cattle and hojs actiyeand wheat and corn prospects excellent, and from St Louis word comes of the gradual improvement in general trade, with excellent cron pros pects vhich stimulate business now and point to a good 'all trade. At 15o-.tn manufacturers of boots and shoes aie busy, with sole leather higher and advancing, but lumber East is w eat. Print mills are crowded with orders at pood prices. Baltimore meichants expect a bet ter business in the autumn, as they have been purchasing stocks with conservatism. Philadelphia dryKOod" dealers are only fill ing supplementary oraers. Loss by Floods on the Mississippi. Xew Orleans reports that continued hih water has greatly retarded business through out Louisiana, while Galveston says Texas trade in staples is only lair, that other line are quiet, but that prospects for autumn are good. JJemphis, Cincinnati, Pittsburg and San Francisco all repoit ircneinl trade quiet and unchanged. E en at Chicago w holcale ob beis in several lines are onlv placing cu toinarr orders, when given tuo pmileao or cancelling them. A holiday feeling poseses the specula tive share mat ket, the pi ovalcnt inactivity being intensified by the absence of foreign participation due to uohtical excitement le paiding the general elections in Great Brit ain. Honored gold shipments, $3,353,000 hav ing ueen tent to j.uropo ana Canaan, navo produced little impression uron cither tho n:one maiKet or Mock speculation, though limited beat 11 pressure lias been displayed on reports of tui ther storms and damage to Clops at the West Tile July 1 dibuienients have produced little improion upon either the money mar ket or r-tock speculation, though limited bearish pressure has been displayed on re ports of lurther storms and damage to crops at the West The July 1 disbursements have produced little commotion in the Xew Tort Join market, the temporary curtailment oi the supply oi funds being too slight to affect mtes. Exchange is firm on tho scarcity of commercial bills. Ihifatenrd Irun Troubles Staved Off. Pig iron is as badly offas ever, with prices for toaio grades lower than heretofore be rate of further competition from Southern grades hast and West Best grades of Le high iron arc eiiiected to sell a9 low as $15 in the near future, SI under current rates. Xo improvement in demand or prices has fol io wed the decicased production of stocks rcpoited for -.evei-al mouths past So many prominent iron manufacturers havo signed a modilicd sc tie of wases that aftei the customary fortnight's shutdown at the West lor repair, it seems quite likel) tho impend ing conflict between iron mannractuiers and tho Amalgamated Association will havo practically disappeared. Bank clcarinzs for June aisregate $1,S5S, IXW.O'jU, compared with $4,312,000,000 in June, 1-91, a gain of K per cent. For six mouths, total hank clearings at 00 odd cities amount to $30,713 000, or 15 per cent more than In six months ot ISM, and 2.8 per cent more than in n line portiou of IKK). This is in spite of an -oxiiratc reduction of June bank clear at New York City due to Stock Ex- rure clearing House operations of about riuz. uuu "UU. E spoils of wheat, including flour as viieit, irozn the United States seaports,hoth coas, for the week euding JuneSO equal 8.21G.0U0 bushels, 1,000,000 bushels more than in tlulliLe week one jear ago, and 2,000,000 bu-hels more than in like weeks in 1S90. ISSa and IS The increase over the total for last week is 800,000 bushels. The total quantitv of wheat and flour exported in Juno was about li,7')0,00J bushels. This points to total ex ports of w'lieat. Including flour as wheat, of 21T,000,OOa bushels during the past 12 months, as compaied with 106,000.000 bushels in the cereal year cndln June 30, 1S3L llie Fall ores for Six Months. There have been 5,351 business failures in the United states within six months, 6SG fewer than in the first half of 13D1, a decrease ol 11 per cent. Contrasted with six months of lb90, the decrease is only 115, or 2 per cent. Aggregate liabilities Jell away to $56,533,000 this year, or 33 per cent less than in the first half of 1391, and 10 per cent lrs than in a like poitionoi 1SW). Fiom this it is seen that a. larger pioportionof the lailuies this jcaraieoi smaller concerns thnn in 1S31 or ISSj. Ihi'ie weieonly three more failures -with S 100,0 jO liabilities each in the past six months than in ISM, but aggregate liabilities of this class oi embarrassments in 1K)2 are 5pei cent smallci than in 1830, and Ci per cent smaller than in 2S9L Dij'gnoas at first and second hands are les- acme. Piint cloths are film and active at late advances. Xew prints ill be offered next wesK. Woolen goods are weaker in somelinof. Camet makers are well sup plied with orders. Baw wool is more active at advances, with n tendency, in case the quality of new clip is high, to higher prices. Prices abioad are iclatively higher than here. Kaw cotton is l-16c lowei on a restricted market, due to leurs of favorable action by the Senate on the anti-options bilL Unit's Keiirw of a KrmarUable Season. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review says: A fiscal j eai never matched In the whole his tory oi the countiy, in the volume of in dustrial production. In magnitude of do mestic exchanges or in foreign trade, has justclosed. The imports tor the year havo been about s-v,000.00j, the Increase in New Yotk in June mci last year being about 18 percent, txports :rom :xew lork m June gained 15 4 per cent and the aggregate lor the j ear has been about $1,0-27,000,100. Ilailroad earnings have been the largest in an j ear thus fat, and clearings in June the latgest ever known m that month, exceed ing last j ear 8 per cent, and lor the wholo vearjhe largest eer known outside New Yoik. Failures or the half year bae been 5,503. again-1 6 074 in 1--91. and liabilities $62 -000,000 a.ninst $P2 00J.O00. and on tho whole about the smallest tor live jeais. In spite of low prices, additional works are going into operation, e en in iron manufacture and yet mote in woolen and cotton. More over, the crops of tills year promise to be very satisfactory, and the new half year begins with excellent prospects. Pittsbnrg Eighth in Hank Clearinc.

Last year at this time 1,723 miles of track had been laid, and yet the entire vear of 1891 showed the smallest aggregate of track laying since 1885. A review of the work In progress does not warrant the be lief that the falling off for the entire year of 1892 will be in any such proportion as that during the first six months. THE FIRE RECORD.
