. Failures of the Week.

 

New Yoax, Sept. 5.-—B. G. Dun &
303s weekly review of trade says:

There is a distinct increase of confi-
dence, due largely to the continuing and
heavy imports of gold, which have put an
end to monetary anxiety. While it .does
not yet start more mills and factories than
are closing for want of work, it crops out
in heavy speculative purchases of pig iron,
wool and some other materials, by experi-
enced men who believe that a revival of
business is not far off, and for the first
time in nearly two months a slight up-
ward .turn appears in prices of manufac-
tured products. In money markets, actual
receipts of. 86‘211,205 gold already, with
total engagements, including these, of $24,-
500,000, have caused a decided change, so
that much more is done in commercial
loans, though rates are still high, 8 per
cent being quoted for-the very best manu-
facturing paper. The outgo to the interior
was about $3,250,000 more than receipts.
The gain in confidence and in willingness
to lend and invest gives reason to hope
that the necessary replenishment of stocks,
which cannot be long deferred, may be
liberal enough to stimulate fair activity
in trade and industry.

The same spirit appears in speculation.
Stocks rose an average of $2.08 for rail-
ways and $3.01 for trusts. with consider-
able covering of shorts. Western and
southern rates are still irregular, with
much cutting, but the tonnage is large,
from Chicago east bound in four weeks
221,824 tons, against 199,501 last year and
216,280 in 1892. Earnings Were poorer for
the last than for any other week of August
and 3.4 per cent smaller for the month
than for last year and 15.4 per cent smaller
than for 1892, but a revival of business
would quickly change the situation. The
disposition to take good bonds, for a time
almost wanting, again appears to a mod-
erate extent, and foreign sales here are un-
important.
Wheat Seesawing.

Wheat had suddenly risen a week ago,
but reacted with better crop news until
Thursday, when another advance came of
1 cent, making the net decline for the
week 1% cents. Western receipts contin-
ued large, 5, 215,706 bushels for the week
against 4,550,104 last year, making the in-
crease since July 1 about 12,000,000. or
53 per cent. _ Atlantic exports are also
large, flour included, 2,032,963 bushels,
against 1,347,352 last year, and since July
1, 19,073,551 bushels against 11,315,645
last year, a gain of 69 per cent. Gloomy
stories find little support in such returns.
Corn has reached at Chicago the lowest
point over touched, 20 cents in 1861, and
has again .broken all records here, declin-
ing to 25% cents, but recovering to 26.
Cotton fell to 7.87 cents, but with revival

of confidence rose to 8.50, although the

prospect is clearly more favorable than
Some weeks ago. Estimates are still very
wide apart. The New Orleans exchange
puts the last crop at 7,157,346 bales,
whereas Official and unofficial predictions
ayear ago were 400,000 to 600,000 bales
smaller.

After many weeks of decline, so that
the average of prices for iron and its
products was the lowest since early last
year, prices have started up a shade.
Heavy speculative purchases of bessemer
at the west and of southern iron here, the
latter mainly 'by New Yorkers at $6. 40 for
No. 2 and $5.90 for gray forge, have so
strengthened the market that bessemer at
Pittsburg commands $11.25 and gray
forge $9.50. The various associations have
not reduced prices, believing that it would
not stimulate demand at present, which is
extremely narrow and as yet shows no im-
provement. But the first long step in that
direction is taken when men believe that
the bottom has been touched. Coke ovens
operating are only 7,425 against 10,522
idle, with a smaller output than for years,
but no change is made in price. Anthraa
cite coal has advanced, $4.35 being the net
quotation. Tin is weaker at 13.15 cents for
September, bids at 10.37 cents are solicit~
ed for Lake copper, while lead is a shade
firmer at 2.72% cents.

lVoolen Industries.

The starting of some woolen mills which
have been idle and accumulating orders
for a short run are still balanced by the
stopping of others, and the volume of or-
Many dealers are
still overloaded with domesticgoods which
they have not been able to market, and
the auction sale of 50,000 pieces Arlington
dress goods at prices averaging about 20
per cent below recent sales hints at some
accumulation of stocks by mills, imports
having supplied a considerable part of the
restricted consumption. No gain as yet
appears in demand or prices. But a mark-
ed speculative buying of wool shows belief
that prices will improve, and sales for the
week were 4,377,600 pounds, of which only
555,700 were foreign, much over half the
domestic sales being of Texas and far
western states at prices ranging from 7 to
8% . cents. ,Cotton goods are growing
stronger, more grades having advanced,
and, though sales are moderate, there are
more buyers, indicating exhaustion of
dealers’ stocks. The decrease in produc-
tion by the mills is slowly reducing the
stocks unsold. Shipments of boots and
shoes from, Boston Were 88,489 cases for
the week against 89,650 two years and
102,400 three years ago, though new busi-
ness is small. In women’s grain and buff
shoes many concerns have orders for ten
weeks ahead. In raw silk a sharp decline
has occurred, amounting to 14.7 per cent
in August.

Failures for the week have been 334 in
the Unite (1 States against 186 last year
and 31 in Canada against 38 last year.

Ll—HUN‘G CHANG’SVISIT

 

It May Have an Important Effect Up-
' on the Markets of China.

 

EBEE TRADE Is PROBABLE."

 

A Shanghai Salton-y Concerning a Project I

to'Abollsh Transit "and Other Dues. ,
A Nice Thing For England—1,;
Hung In Washington.

 

SHANGHAI, Sept. 5.—There are reports
in circulation here among people of 51'?
highest authority which, if correct, show
that the travels of Li Hung Chang in Eu-
rope are likely to have in the immediate
future a very important effect upon the
policy ‘of the Chinese government and
that the Chinese empire will 'sOOn be
thrown open to free trade with the reel; of
the world, . ~

When the viceroy was in
official attache to his staff 3
main object of the tour was to sound the
European governments regarding. an in-
crease in the customs tariff of China. -- He
added that it Wasunderstood that Russia,
Germany and France wore favorable 'to
the increase, but that the Marquis of Salis-
bury wanted time to consider the matter,

2: fund, an

and that he had brought forward several _ _

important counter propositions. It was
also pointed out at the time that the An-
glo-Chinese treaty expires in two years
and that it was in Great Britain’s interest
to make the best possible terms now and
not to wait until the treaty expired. It
was further hinted that upon China’s ao-
ceptance or refusal Of the suggestions of
the British premier depended the action
of British financiers who had been ap-
proached on the subject of a proposed Chi-
nese . loan of: considerable magnitude.
What the proposals of Lord Salisbury were
is a question probably known to but aefew
persons. On the other hand, it is asserted
here by persons who are in a position'to

have accurate information regarding the

policy of the Chinese government that the
latter is inclined to concede the conditions
set forth by Lord Salisbury and that, as
a preliminary agreement, there will be an
increase in the tariff, all transit dues in
the interior of China will be abolished,
and that, later on, free trade will be estab-
lished throughout the empire;

A Necessary Step.

The preliminary increase in the tariff is
looked upon as being necessary, as the
loan referred to must be secured in some
manner, and the customs dues are regard-
ed as being the, best security. It is also
intimated that if Great Britain advances
the money required by China, the latter,
as a sort of bonus, will I lace ,orders for a
numberof battleships. cruisers and tor-
pedo boats of various descriptions in Brit-
ish shipyards, and, further, British officers
may be detailed to reorganize the Chinese
army. It was at first proposed to intrust
this task to German ofl‘icers, but it is be—
lieved that Li Hung Chang, while in Ger-
many, was not successful in driving the
bargains which he contemplated. ,

The foregoing is a decidedly English
view of tizecase and may be modified by
future r: cuts, for a great deal depends
stillyupm the action of Li Hung Chang
when he "eturns to China and the nature
of the report which he will furnish forthe
decision of the emperor. ' ' ‘- ,-

Finally it is reported here that theChi-
nese government has practically decided
to take steps at an early date to make .a
considerable extension in the railroads of
the empire, and a foreign railway board,
organized on the basis of the foreign cus~
toms commission, may be intrusted with
this task. The emperor of China is known
to be favorably disposed toward the exten-
sion ofthe railroad service of China, and,
with free, trade, the abolishment of all

transit dues and an improved system'of'

railroads, the travels of Li Hung Chang
may be the means of awakening China
into new life and prosperity and open to
the commerce of the world markets which
have hitherto been uselessly closed. .

Li Hung'Chang In \Vashington. :

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 .—-Before sunrise
this morning Li Hung Chang, the Chi-
nese viceroy, was up and making ready
for aday of sightseeing. He passed a quiet
nightin the Arlington and called for his
first breakfast at half past 5 o’clock. The
arrangement of the programme for the
day had been left by General Ruger en-
tirely in the hands of the viceroy, and

while the points of interest that it was '

thought he might be pleased to see were
suggested to him no attempt was made
to urge his fancy. The general manager
of the new electric railroad between Wash-
ington and Mount Vernon held in readi-
ness a special train in case Li Hung Chang
should care to make a morning visit to
the tomb of Washington, but after some
discussion among the suit the Chinese de-
cided to go first to the capitol and reserve
the Mount Vernon pilgrimage for another
time. Fix-Secretary of State Foster called
at the Arlington before breakfast was over
and accompanied-the distinguished visitors
during the morning’s ride.

Li Hung Chang’s party reached the
capitol about 9:20 and remained there less
than an hour. There had been very‘brief
notice of the intention of the distinguished
visitor to inspect the lawmak edifice.
No preparation was made for his reception.
He was first conducted to the ofiice of the
sergeant-at-arms. when he was presented

to Colonel R. J. Bright, sergeant-at—arms.~
From this point he was escorted in suc-_

cession to the marble room, the president's
room, the senate chamber. the supreme
court quarters, the rotunda, the Congres-
sional library and the hall of the house of
representatives. Very little time was given
to any of these halls, and when he .had
rested for a few minutes in the house the
viceroy demanded to be taken to his car
riage in order notto be late at an engage-
ment which he had made with the Chi-
nese minister.
