Industrial Field Receives the First and Most Marked Betterment—Outlook In ‘the Produce Markets—Fail- ures of the Week. New York, June 19.——R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: The retard- ing influenée of cold and unseasonable weather has passed. The gain in busi- ness which in spite of it was seen a week ago has become clearer to all. As no genuine improvement ever begins with an uplifting of prices before the producing force has become fairly em- ployed, this does not, and the buying of 7,000 bales of Australian wool by one Boston house and 100,000 tons pig iron by a Wall street operator and advanc- ing prices for stocks are only proof that the actual conditions are understood by some men. There is evidence of gradually enlarging business in every important department, more establishr ments have been set at work and more hands employed, and while prudence still hinders speculative excesses the progress toward better things is un- checked. Reports from the various cities this week show a very general progress and a continuing large dis- tribution through retail trade. The proof is clearer, as it should be, in the industrial than in the trading field. Contracts providing for consump- tion of 7,000,000 tons iron ore have al- ready been made, 2,000,000 within the past fortnight, it is believed, though last year’s contracts only terminated about two months ago. Bessemer ore is selling lower by 20 to 30 cents than at the outset, biwabik at $2. 25 against $2. 55, but the heavy de. njand puts addi- tional mines at wmk.1‘he speculative purchase of 100,000 tons southern pig at $5.75 clears the deck for a. larger busi— ness at better figures and sales at Chi— cago—150,000 tons—have been the largest for 18 months. Reaction after the sud- den purchase of 50,000 tons bessemer at Pittsburg leaves the price $9.50 per ton, but the heavy orders for bars there and for 50,000 tons at Chicago, mainly from implement makers, with, orders for many new buildings at the west, one of magnitude at Philadelphia and several at New York, the larger demand for plates and sheets, the order for 22 miles of pipe and the purchases of steel rails which have started the new Joliet works with good orders, are far more impor— tant than the speculation in materials. Many Prosperous Markets. Coke production has increased 2,500 tons, nearly 21/; per cent, without change in price. Tin‘ is' stronger at 13.75 cents, and the copper output in May, larger than in any other month this yeal, has not yet lowered quota- tions, while lead is stronger. Boot: and shoe factories not only have larger or- ders, but some concessions on boots made a week ago can no longer be ob— tained. More dealings are reported in hemlock sole, 011 grain and split leather, and, though quotations do not alter, concessions, formerly reported have been reduced. Hides are stronger, 1.6 per cent at Chicago, with the old report of scarcity. The demand for print cloths, for the first time in many months, has exceeded the week’s pro- duction, and the price has risen a shade, while prints and other grades of cotton goods are in slightly better demand. There is a. more widely dis- tributed business in woolens than was expected. Clothiers are buying, and as they come late are in haste. Some east- ern mills have been in the market, but the bulk of the purchases of wool has again been by speculative houses at Boston, where almost 10,000,000 pounds were sold against 2, 551, 300 at New York and Philadelphia. W'estern operators are again paying more than eastern prices warrant, and London quotations are stronger. In produce markets the year draw: toward a. close with slightly stronger prices for corn, owing to heavy foreign buying, and in cotton, owing to a. better foreign demand, notwithstanding more encouraging crop reports. Nobody can count bales in June, but the outlook is so far favorable that few make large ventures against the yield exceeding 9,000,000 bales. Wheat was hoisted nearly 2 cents, but fell about as much, closing an eighth lower for the week in spite of reduced western receipts and Atlantic exports. Return of Foreign Trade. A remarkable return of foreign trade comes for April, showing an excess of imports over exports of only $1,559,343, while the net exports of gold less ore were about $3,500,000, and of silver $1,- 600,000. This was in Spite of an in- crease of 31 per cent in dutiable im- ports and 54 per cent in customs re- ceipts for the month. Exports were 11.2 per cent larger than last year, and it is especially noteworthy that outside the principal farm products the ex— ports increased more than 16 per cent. Since June 1 imports have not been re- markably large, and the rush seems to have passed. In eight weeks ending with March imports were smaller and exports larger thanlast year. In nine weeks ending with May imports- were over 47 per cent larger and exports 7 per cent larger than last year. But in two weeks of June imports at New York hav‘; been 16 per cent and exports 18 per cent larger, which, if continued through the month, would mean a large excess of exports. Stocks have been so strong that cheap traders are scared and “discretionary order” people are withdrawing. There is actually a public, and when it buys or sells the street has not much power. In three days purchases exceeded 750,- 000 shares, and prices, after some weeks’ rise, had half a day’s reaction on Wednesday, only to rise again near— ly 75 cents per share on Thursday. Railroad earnings are encouraging. Failures for the week have been 198 in the United States, against 276 last year, and 36 in Oanada, against 28 last year. No Gambling House Charter. City of Mexico, June 19.——-The official gazette denounces the report published in the United States that the govern- ment has granted a charter for gam- bling houses at Tia Juana, Lower Cali fornia. The request was recently made by some Americans for a charter for a lottery in Lower 'Z‘alifornia, but the gov- ernment did not :onsider the petition.

Fred Holturn Status Positively That Be “'as a l'crforuwr, ' Oakland, (la-1., June lieu—Fred Hol- turn, an old circus performer who lives in Berkeley, says that he and Barney Barnato performed togezher in the same ring in London many yeazs ago. He said today: “I first met Isaacs, afterward called himself, while work— ing in John Holturn’s Royal circus, many years ago. leases and his brother ioined the circus at Leeds. My brother John, the ‘cannon ball king,’ did an not where he was shot at by a. cannon which I fired. Barnato held the ropes that bound my brother. John would give the order to fire at his hand. At the word ‘Flre!’-Barnato was supposed to let loose the ropes so that my brom— er could catch the cannon ball. On one occasion young Isaacs, or Barnato, was nervous, and at the signal ‘Firel’ did not loosen his hold on, the ropes, but tightened it instead. The big ball plow- ed along the top of John’s head and left him with an ugly scalp wound. From that moment to this I have never. laid eyes upon Barnato and his brother. The two Isaacses, as we then called them, did not even wait to draw the salary due them, and we never heard of Barney again until his African success.” or Barnato, as he Awaiting Barnato’s B'ody.
