Fewer Failures and a Much More En-
couraging Outlook.
BIG VOLUME or Bosnuass.
Larger Now Than It \Vas In 1892, Our
Year of Greatest Prosperity—No'
Alarm About the Out-
go of Gold.
New York, June 5,—R. G. Dun & Cole
trade review says: The statement of
failures in May by branches of business
gives much encouragement. In amount
of defaulted liabilities the month was
the smallest since September, 1895; in
manufacturing liabilities the smallest
since November, 1895, and in trading
liabilities the smallest except the last
Failures
of general stores have not been as small
, in any other month as in May, 1897, in
' only 2 months out of 36 have there been
smaller failures in boots and shoes and
miscellaneous trading, only 4 in books
and hats, only 5 in groceries and not a
trading class in that monthhas re—
ported failureslarger thaan in half the
5 preceding months, though in furniture
. failures are rather numerous. “In cloth-
ing manufacture the month was the
smallest except 4 out of 36, except 5 in
chemicals, 6 in woolen goods, 7 in ma-
chinery, lumber and miscellaneous man-
ufactures and exceeded the average
only in iron and cotton goods and earth-
enware, owing to a few failures of ex—
ceptional size.
Our Great Volume of Business.
The statement that, except for the
temporary depression in prices, the vol—
ume of business transacted is now lar-
ger than it was in 1892—the year of
greatest prosperity—has been question—
ed by some. But a comparison of prices
this week in the leading branches of
manufacture not only confirms that
View, but shows a remarkable similar-
ity to the course of prices in the earlier
months of 1879, when the most wonder-
ful advance in production and prices
ever known in this or any other country
was close at hand.
The key of the situation is the ex—
cessive production of some goods in
advance of an expected increase in de-
mand. So in 1879 consumption gradu-
ally gained month by month until
suddenly it was found that .the demand
was greater than the possible supply.
All know how prices then advanced,
and the most marvelous progress in
the history of any country resulted
within two years. Reports from all
parts of the country now show that re-
tail distribution of products is unusu-
ally large and increasing.
No Improvement In Farm Products.
There is no improvement in the mar-
ket for farm products. Cotton is not
higher, and the belief that the next
crop will be large in spite of‘ the floods
is general, while the demand for goods
does not change, although in this coun-
try it is large enough to keep the mar-
ket for most goods steady. Nor is
there any satisfactory demand for
'woolen goods, and the sales of wool for
the week have been only, 5,835,900
pounds, and for five weeks 34,641,400,
against 26,800,150 in the corresponding
weeks of 1892. The transactions greatly
exceed the demands of the mills, al-
though these are larger than of late,
because the manufacturers of woolen
goods have steadily increasing orders.
The boot and shoe manufacturers have
a larger business also, in part because
many have made the concessions in
price reported last week. In women’s
goods the works have orders enough
for some months ahead, but in men’s,
while gaining in orders, they are not
insured for the future. Shipments from
the cast for five weeks have been 339,-
754 cases, against 399,260 last year, 417,-
268 in 1895 and 375,652 in 1894.
The Outlook For Iron.
The iron industry is apparently ex-
panding production and is certainly
getting, larger contracts, in part be—
cause of very low prices, 1 cent being
made for beams. Bessemer pig is
stronger and gray forge a. shade weak-
er under pressure of southern anxiety
to sell. The rail mills are all full, the
Illinois Steel company having orders
for a railway and bridges in Korea, and
I .there" is better demands for plates and
sheets, and from agricultural imple-
ments at Chicago fer bars. Shipments
of iron ore from Duluth far exceed those
of any other previous year, both the
Minnesota. Iron company and the Car-
negie mines shipping over 100,000 tons
each per week. While the rod combi—
nation has not yet been formed, expec-
tation of it, with a large demand, has
advanced prices of nails 5 cents per keg.
Tin is very firm in spite of a visible
supply of 34,436 tons at 131/2 cents, and
there are large dealings in copper not
above 11 cents for lake. Lead is in fair
demand at 31,4 cents, and tin plates are
still selling at $3.30 for full weight
American.
Crop Prospects Good.
Crop prospects are so good that the
rumors customary at this season have
no attention. It was stated a week ago
that along the northwestern roads pros-
pects were remarkably bright and high-
ly favorable reports have since appeared
from Kansas and from Texas and
are given in the dispatches from the
Pacific coast. The receipts at western
points are 2,058,795 bushels against 2,-
006,475 last year, and the Atlantic ex-
ports, flour included, Were 2,165,787 bush-
els against 2,339,852 last year. The enor-
mous outgo of corn continues, receipts
having been 5,821,023 bushels against
2,609,984 for the same week last year,
and the exports were 1,926,566 bushels
against 1,293,316 last year.
No Apprehension About Gold.
More than $2,000,000 came in‘ beyond
outgces from the- interior during the
week,.and no apprehension Whatever is
felt'because some gold goes abroad on
premiums bid. While the exhaustion of
accumulated foreign exchange is re-
ported, there is ground for confidence
in the fact that exports, as well as im-
ports, show some increase, and that the
increasing imports anticipate the move-
ment in future months. The volume of
business shown by clearing house ex-
changes outside New York is only 8.8
per cent smaller for the month of May
than in 1892, the year of greatest pros-
perity hitherto. Failures for the week
have been 241 in the United States,
against 234 last year, and 32 in Canada,
against 29 last year.

Young Brooks Endeavors to Avenger Bio
Father’s Alleged \Vrongs.
London, June V5.——W'hile Mr. Labou-
chcre was on his way ti;- ‘aVestminstcr
'hall to attend the sitting of the parlia-
mentary South African ceinmittee he
was. set upon by a man named Brooks,
who struck him several blows with a.
horsewhip.
Mr. Labouchere gives this account:
“I had just left my house to go to the
house of commons when I suddeniy
became aware that an excitable you};
man was flourishing a whip at a dis-
creet distance from me.
“I said~ to him, ‘Who the deuce are
you?’ and his answer was, ‘I am the
son 'of the much injured, Dr. Brooks,
and I mean to kill you.’ ‘
“I replied, ‘Don’t be a. fool or I'will
call that policeman.’ He then said in a.
pathetic though incoherent manner
something about his mother. I replied
that I was sorry for his mother, Where-
upon the mild young man walked
alongside of me, discussing the injured
Brooks."
The action of young Brooks is the
outcome of the unsuccessful. libel suit
brought against Mr. Labouchere last
winter by the Rev. George Brooks, for-
merly a. Methodist parson, to whom
Mr. Labouchere had referred in Truth
as the “king of begging letter writers"
in a number of articles, denouncing
him as an impostor and exposing his
impudent and fraudulent schemes to
get money from his dupes.
Brooks the elder is said to have ob-
tained the sum of $40,000 within a period
of five years by sending begging letters
to cabinet ministers, dukes, archbish-
ops, directors of the Bank of England,
generals, admirals and, it is said, to Mr.
William Waldorf Astor. Labouchere is
credited with h ving spent about $200,-
000 during recent years in exposing
frauds. '
