BEY1EW OF TRADE.

Co.'s wen-kly review:
The half-yeurly report of failures
next week will Include about
a.Wio, against 7,0i!9 for the llrst
half of lust year, and liabili
ties of about $88,000,000, against $101,
678,152 last year.
Failures for the past week have been
2r.tl In the United States, against 214
last year, and 22 in. Canada, against 35
Just year.
llusiness Is better, although the crop
outlook, affecting prospects beyond the
near future, Is a little less distinct.
Speculation has even spread to the
wool market, and with an advance of
about one cent 111 prices the sales have
been the largest ever known for any
week 14,0li",,JW pounds, against 6,835,
Coi) in 1M!I2. Iron still advances, Bes
semer selling for $12.90 at Pittsburg,
and gray forge at $10.80. A further ad
vance in structural forms Is expected.
The western demand for steel rails. at
the advance of $2 per ton Is eiulte .good.
The cloning of Its contract by the syn
dicate raises tho treasury reserve above
$100,000,000, but the certainty that no
more gold Is to be Imported by the
bankers makes foreign exchange
stronger, and If a large part of the
bonds taken abroad have been resold
to this country, deliverable as soon as
possible, as some believe, nnd the he-avy
merchandise Imports for June at New
York, IS per cent, larger than last year,
against exports aliout 2 per cent, small
er, will render exiorts of gold alto
gether probable. Money still comes
hither from the west in amounts aver
aging about $250,000 daily, and com
mercial loans are enlarging, particular
ly on Iron and other mant.facturing
paper.
The volume of business represented
by exchange through the principal
clearing houses Is, for the past week,
35.8 per cent, larger than last year,
a really surprising gain nnd only seven
tenths of 1 per cent, less than in 1S32,
while the average for the month is 28.8
per cent, larger than last year, and 7.1
per cent, le-ss than In 1S92.
The return Is highly encemraglng, In
spite of the comparative magnitude of
seculatlve operations. The confiden
tial reports of railroad managers re
garding the crop outlook are also gen
erally favorable, nnd with these hope
ful Indications Justified by results with
in the next few weeks there is strong
reason for hope that the business of the
coming year will he eminently satis

advance's in prices and wages, more sat

been anticipated a few months ago,

show It, He said that Fltzslmmons had
condemned Rleirdan's drunkenness sev

witness. He was'wlth Ivapham at the
time of the set-to. Ho said that Rlor
dan was a larger man than Fltzslm
mons ond had the best of the set-to.
When Itlordan went down after the
fatal Mow, It was done so easily that
the boys in the gallery yelled "fake,"
"fake,"and hissed. Wilson could not
describe the location of the blow. He
said that the glove was so large that
he could not see Just where it landed.
Wilson Gives Illustrations.
Wilson said that Itlordan was struck
on the right side of his face, and he
never raised his guard again after tho
blow. He would call it an old fash
ioned side blow, nnd It was a light one.
This evidence went In under objection.
One of the interesting feature's of the
day occurred outside of the court room.
After Con lilordan's funeral last Nov
ember his body was placed In a receiv
lngvnult and his brother in San Fran
cisco notified. The brother never eont
any word as to what w'as te lie tlone
with tho body. Today Fltzslmmons pur
chased a lot in Oakwnod cemetery, and
gave orders for the body to b -properly
cared for and buried at his expense.
