MlDSUMMlllULLNESS
A Condition That Is Natural, Though
Not Encouraging. '
THE DECREASE Ill DEMAND.
The Future Turns on Crops, Which Promise
_ To Be Fair—Sales of Wool Have Les-
sened Somewhat, as Expected.
Failures For the Week:
NEW YORK, July 2.-—R. G. Dun &
Co. ’s weekly review of trade says:
The week’s news is not entirely encour-
aging, but is all the more natural because
there are signs of midsummer dullness.
Wheat prospects are not quite so good as
last week, but still there are lower prices,
as corn and cotton have been lowered. The
experts of gold and the less favorable
treasury returns for July are not unex-
pected and mean nothing as to coming
business. There is perceptible decrease in
the demand for most manufactured prod-
ucts, and the actual distribution to con-
sumers naturally lessons in midsummer.
Much of the recent buying was to antici-
pate a rise in prices, and such purchases
fall ofi when prices have risen. There are
still numerous advances in wages, but
strikes grow more numerous and impor-
tant. In part because business was un-
usually large in the first half of July a.
quiet tone meet-s reasonable expectations. .
The heavy bank failure at Montreal
does not affect finances here and is pass-
l'ng there with less disturbance than was
feared, Gold exports after the middle of
July, when crops are beginning to move,
if not meant to affect stocks, can at all
events have only a speculative significance.
Money is still abundant, and while there
is much more activity in commercial loans
it is not what would appear if all indus-
tries were fully employed. The volume of
exchanges continues nearly as large as in
1892, because of the delay in spring opera
tions, and though rapidly shrinking to
summer proportions is 27 per cent larger
than last year. ’
Crops \Vill Be Fair.
The future turns on crops, and the mar-
kets reflect a prevailing belief that the
crops are to be fair. Stocks carried over
are such that a yield of 7,000,000 bales
cotton and 420,000,000 bushels wheat
would meet all needs, but lower prices
prophesy larger yields and of corn prob-
ably the largest on record. Wheat has (10-
clined 2 cents for September, corn 1% cent
and cotton an eighth for spot. Western
receipts of wheat, not half last year’s, ex-
press disappointment at prices, while ex-
ports, for the week about a quarter of last
year’s, and for three weeks only 2,829,028
bushels, flour included, against 7,046, 627
last year, show that foreign dealers are not
regarding the situation with anxiety, nor
do British accounts indicate any anxiety
about cotton, while efforts are reported by
some American mills to sell part of the
large stocks taken some months ago, ap-
parently exceeding their needs for the
year. If unfavorable to some speculators,
these are cheering indications, for it is
better to have fair crops than to get high-
er prices for what remains.
To some extent industries are awaiting
the crop outcome, as. usual in July, but
reports of more works going into operation
express faith in the fall demand, for a
time of reaction after the heavy purchases
of the past two months was inevitable.
Orders have so accumulated in iron prod-
ucts that some works forego the usual
summer rest, and eastern furnaces soon
to begin blast will add about 5,000 tons
weekly to the production. Yet the week
has been in new business the (lullcst- since
the rise in prices began. as many hesitate
to buy after so great an advance. A few
quotations have advanced—gray forge and
eastern bar—while bessemcr pig is a shade
weaker at Pittsburg, but the average of
all prices is 1 per cent higher for the week,
and 28.3 per cent higher than Feb. 1.
Sales Somewhat Lessened.
Wool advanced in the first half of July
an average of 1 cent for 104 quotations of
domestic by Coates Bros. of Philadelphia,
and is now 7 per cent higher than a year
ago. Sales naturally lesson, being 7,980,-
000 pounds for the week against an aver-
age of over 13,000,000 pounds for each of
the two previous weeks, but prices are
sustained by German and French buying
in the London market. Manufacturers do
not support the advance, and are buying
only for immediate needs, but holders who
have taken for weeks past several times
the quantity consumed are stiff.
Cotton mills continue to enjoy a. large
business, and Several have advanced wages
this week, but some strikes of considerable
importance are threatened or in progress.
The weaker tone for the material does not
as yet affect prices of goods. New busi—
ness in boots and shoes is limited, though
makers reason from the general pressure
for deliveries that distribution has been
large and that the next season will be
good. There is obvious, on the other hand,
‘ some shrinkage in buying because the ad-
vance in prices has been so great.
Foreign trade continues unfavorable,
with a decrease of 10 per cent in exports
this month and an increase of 23 per cent
in imports. Failures in 11 days of July
Show liabilities of $3,503,982 this year
against $2,630, 306 last year, of which
$857,804 this year wore of manufacturing
and $2,174,892 of trading concerns against
$1,009,821 of manufacturing and $1,448,-
204 of trading concerns last year. Fail-
ures for the week have been 256 in the
United States against 236 last year and 39
in Canada against 44 last year.

LONDON, July 20.—~The Berlin corre-

were circulated today that Prince Ferdi-
nand had abdicated th rulership of Bul-
garia and that the Au irian government
had sent a circular to he powers on the
subject of Bulgaria. 6 reports, though

PRINCE FERDINAND.
Zeitung says that curse . and everlasting
shame will cling to the ‘hlgarian govern-
ment, which certainly d a share in the
assassination and which know of mur-
derous plots, yet did not hinder notorious
murderers from moving freely about Sofia.
“If any ordinary citizen,f” the newspaper
goes on to say, “had been incriminated as
Prince Ferdinand has ébcen, he would
have been arrested. Prince Ferdinand has
forfeited the right to Wear a European
crown. He must fall.”
Bulgaria. Called a Monstrosity.
The National Zeitung says: “The name
of Bulgaria will henceforth be expressive
only of the most contemptible ingratitude
and the most pitiful depravity. This mon-
strosity called a state cannot live.”
The Standard’s Berlin correspondent
comments as follows upon the above:
“These two extracts give an idea of the
tone of the press comments. In diplomatic
and ofiicial’oircles, howev‘cr, calm councils
prevail. ”
A Sofia dispatch to The Standard says:
“Public opinion points to Halofi, Nikola,
Tufektchieff and Ivanofi' as the authors. I
am informed that the government has de-
cldcd to rear-rest Tufcktchicff, who was
liberated on Tuesday. Stambuloff had al-
ways designated the brothers Tufektchicfi'
as the assassins of M. Belcheff. The gov-
ernment organ, Mir, suggests that Stam-
buloff’s servant, Todorofi‘, and some mem-
bers of his party committed the crime. ”
“A letter signed by 16 violent Russo—
philcs, has been sent to Radoclavoff, who is
chief of the anti-Russian party, containing
a- menace to blow up his house.”
Rewards Offered.
SOFIA, July 20.——Quecn Victoria and
the Prince of Wales have telegraphed their
sympathies to Mme. Stambuloff. The gov-
ernment has offered 10,000 francs for the
capture of the murderers.
Once Saved the Kaiser’s Life.
Dnirvnn, July 20.——Daniel Schoewe has

and was provided with a ticket to Kansas
City, where he has friends. He once saved
the life of the present emperor of Ger-
many, who was thrown from a horse and
would have been trampled to death had.
