Report of Business Disasters For the
‘First Half of 1897.
run AVERAGE RATHER Low.
Decrease of Orders Is Due to the Usual.
Summer Depression — Bright; Pros-
pects of Most Crops — Light
Railroad Building.
New York, July 3.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s
weekly review of trade says:
Failures for the second quarter of
1897 were 2,931, with liabilities of $48,-
409,633, of which 42, with liabilities of
$4,724,754, were of banking and financial
concerns; 76, with liabilities of $3,051,403,
were of brokers, agents and insurance
concerns; 657, with liabilities of $23,-
402,834, were of manufacturers, and
2,156, with liabilities of $17,230,639, were
of traders. Almost half the commer-
cial liabilities were supplied by 63 fail-
ures for $100,000 each or more, and
over a. fifth by failures of five cotton
mills in New Bedford in April. On that
account -New England failures show
large increase, but in other sections the
aggregate is smaller than for the cor-
responding quarter in most preceding
years. But for these five failures the
defaulted liabilities would have been
the smallest in the second quarter of
any year since 1892. With them the re-
turns show average liabilities of $15,121
per failure, an average of $34.89 per
firm in business, which is slightly less
than last year, and $2.93 per $1,000 paid
through all clearing houses for the
quarter, which is less than in the same
quarter of any year since 1892.
Midsummer vacations have commenc-
ed in many works, With the decrease
of orders usual at this season. The
customary vacation is called a. strike
where agreements regarding wages for
the coming year have .not been reached,
and the extensive strike of Amalga-
mated Iron Workers announced July 1
is of this nature, but the strike of coal
miners in Illinois and other central
western states is not, and may prove
costly.
In some iron and cotton works wages
have been reduced, owing to low prices,
one cotton mill in Virginia closing be-
cause reduction was not accepted. With
a. better demand the employers will
seek agreement, and in its absence the
workers before long, so that the situa-
tion is distinctly of a midsummer char-
acter. Large hopes are built on pro-
spective demand after the tariff bill has
passed, but the pressure in the market
of large importing stocks may defer it.
The general belief is that removal of
uncertainty will in any case increase
business. , ~
Monetary Conditions.
Monetary conditions are not disturb—
ed, currency still coming from the in-
terior, $1,500,000 for the week. Slight
changes in rates and shrinkage in
commercial loans result from prepara-
tion for disbursements July 1 of $79,-
500,000 at New York against $72,000,000 a.
year ago. Heavy purchasing of bonds,
averaging $2,000,000 daily, still contin-
ues, and the stock market had its first
reaction for six weeks, which was so
slight and after Thursday morning so
far recovered that prices average 32
cents per share higher for railways and
92 cents for trusts than a. week ago.
Earnings for the half year have been
1.6 per cent less than last year and 7.9
per cent less than in 1892, but the de-
crease for the second (miner was' only
.2 and 7 per cent respectively, the June
report being the best {or the year.thus
far. Quarterly reports by classes of
rqus fiow in every section better re-
sults ; the second than for the first
quarter 0 mpared with last year. Rpil-
road bull ing, only 622 miles in the half
year, was smaller than in any previous
year since 1875 except in the first half
, of 1894, but railroad receiverships, cov-
ering 1,013 miles, with $109,291,600 stocks
and bonds, ytge the smallest since 1893.
Since much of the future depends on
crops, the brightening prospects are of
the highest importance. Estimates by
persons usually most pessimistic now
far exceed any made a month' ago, one
promising 559,000,000 bushels wheat with
lower conditions, but largely increased
acreage of’corn. Cotton prospects are
brighter as the crop appears to be early
rather than late In regions which were
not flooded. The movement of wheat Is
small, Western receipts for the week
1,630,779 bushels against 2,041,719 last
year, and Atlantic exports 2,064,173, flour
included, against 2,162,172 last year, but
a strong effort to lift prices failed, and
the close is 1% cents lower for the week,
with corn % cent lower. Cotton has ad-
vanced 1,4. cent, but the market is very
narrow.
' Iron, Steel, Etc.
The iron and steel industry halts at
midsummer, although the demand for
finished products still increases and dis-
appointment is due only to the fact that
the increase is not yet enough to keep
all mills at work and thus to bring bet-
ter prices, which now average slightly
lower than ever before, though not 1 per
cent below thoSe of March, 1895.
Textile manufacturers 'are waiting
and cotton mills curtailing production
with large stocks on hand and... prices
scarcely changed, while woolen mills
are gradually increasing work with bet-
ter orders and prices incline to advance
a shade. Enormous buying of wool, 256,-
000,000 pounds this year against 102,000,-
000 last year, reflects speculation main-
ly, and some large lots have been sold
three to five times since arrival. Prices
are somewhat "stronger at seaboard mar-
kets, and so high in the interior that
dealings in domestic are restricted,
for two months not 21,000,000 pounds
against 55,000,000 foreign.
of all business reflected by payments
through clearing houses is larger than
last year in June, and but little smaller
than in 1892, the, month showing better
than any other month this year. Fail-
ures for the week have been 241 in the
United States against 257 last year, and
30 in Canada against 22 last year.

That is the, way , Norwalk
Speaks, and That is the
Way Norwalk Peo-
ple Act.
At first there was doubt. That was
but natural, for people had been disap-
pointed many times. ' But first a man
in Nor-walk spoke, then a woman in
South Norwalk, and soon from all over
both places arose the chorus of praises
for C. C. 0., California Catarrh Cure.
And now people buy and use it in per-
fect confidence that it will do what it
claims; that it will Cure every form,
every trace of catarrh. Read what
Mrs. I. F. Williamson, 24 Spring street,
South Norwalk, says: “I got a bottle
of California. Catarrh Cure at Plaisted’s
drug store, for my daughter Kitty, who
has been troubled quite badly with car,
tarrh, and she finds that it has helped
her very much. My sister has also
used the medicine with most satisfac-
tory results and joins me in saying that
it is a fine medicine.”
Catarrh in its fully developed forms
isahideous disease, involving decay,
filth and actual rottenness, with most
offensive odors in the very seat of the
organs of taste and smell; firmly fixed
there, it begins to attack the membrane
lining of the passages leading to the
lungs or the stomach; resulting either
in consumption, or what is often called
dyspepsia. It is really catarrh of the
stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys and
various internal passages. California.
Catarl-h Cure will cure all forms of ca-
tarrh, and will check even incipient
consumption. All dealers, 50 cents,
three times as much, $1.
To avoid hay fever, begin to use C.
C. C. now; used preperly, it will entire-
ly prevent the malady in its season.
When one can count on real garden

the joys of al fresco entertaining.

THE ‘TRANSVAAL RAID.
AStrong Effort Made to Connect Joseph
Chamberlain \Vith It.
London, July 3.——At the i'es;:‘::ption
today of the sittings of the parliamen-
tary committee appointed to inquire
into the Transvaal raid, four telegrams
exchanged between Miss Flora Shaw,
the colonial editor of The Times, and
Mr. Cecil Rhodes. then premier of Cape
Colony, were produced.
The first, from Miss Shaw, asks for
the date of the commencement of the
plans, owing to the necessity of instruct-
ing the European correspondents of the
London Times, so that they might use
their influence in favor of Mr. Rhodes.
The second dispatch points out the
danger of delay. as the European sit-
uation was considered serious and a.
protest from the other powers might
paralyze the government.
.The third message says that Mr.
Chamberlain, the secretary of state for
the colonies, “is sound in case of the
interference of European powers, but
have special reason to believe he wishes
you to act immediately.”
One dispatch from Mr.
Miss Shaw says:
“Inform Mr. Chamberlain I shall get
through all right if he supports me, but
he must not.send cables like the one
sent to the high commissioner. I’ll win,
and South Africa will belong to Eng-
land.”
