NO REACTION IX P,ISIF.SS.
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.
