The Itrightest feature in All the llorion Is the Certainty of an Immense ('urn Crop. New York. Sept. (!. U. (1. Dun Co.. In their weekly rc lew of trade, tomor row will say: There Is no real rcnctlon In business. Cains which weie recognized as tem porary are vanishing, hut there re mains a decided increase over last year ut date, although prices average .N.N pel cent, lower than 11 year ago. It needs no ke.-n observer to see thai the tenc tlou against rapid advance of prices l.i strong. Cotton Is strong, but bus paused. The-general tendency to cur tail purchases where prices have no tably advanced grows clearer in hoots and shoes, In wool, and in some pro ducts of iron. Imports are large, but It is stated that Kradford manufacturers timi It hard to get labor enough to (III their orders, so that delay may cancel many contracts, ns Inferior quality has can celled some already. The brightest feature in all the hori zon is the certainty that the crop of corn will be enormous. Frosts now can only n fleet a small fraction, and the surplus will go Into manufacture of m.-als, because at I!.'.. 7 cents at Xew York, nearly 4 cents lower than a week ago, there Is no other pioiitalde use for corn. The one farm product which has been strong because ctainly short in held rose from s.iil cents for spot cotton last week to x.2.'. on Tuesday, but lias since been weak in slate of concerted otilciiil statements that the decrease is 3:1 per cent. In some states and 27 per cent. In Texas. The public observes much or ganized and skilled labor In these re ports and also sees what ninny specula tors refuse to see, the :i.fKio.ooa bales old American brought over. It Is earnest ly hoped that southern agriculture has not sustained so grent a calamity. The anuual reports, showing a larger yield last year than lias been supposed, only indicate that more cotton must remain In the country besides the unconsumed stocks abroad. A quiet market, with out much change of prices for a time, would ie a blessing to the south. The railroads have gained .3 of 1 per cent. In earnings over last year for August, the last week doing better, though the tonnage cast hound from Chicago was 7 per cent, smaller for the month than In P!'2, ami the earnings of nil roads were 14.1! per cent, smaller. Failures for the week have been 1M6 in the Cnlted States against 21!l last year, and in Canada lis ngnlnst 47 last year. TORRENTS AT 1UI.TI.UORE.' buildings Arc I nJunnliK'J and Collapse.
