THE VEXEB WAGE QUESTION It Is Again Causing Trouble In several Sections -— \Vheat Crop Estimates. _ A Strong Demand For Cotton Goods—Business Troubles. New York, July 10.—-R. G. Dun 8: Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The analysis of failures for the half year, 6,937 in number, with liabilities amounting to $109,162,294, shOWs that commercial failures were smaller than last year by nearly $6,000,000, although failures of brokers and agents were larger by $1,600,000 and manufacturing failures by $2,800,000. But the manu- facturing return would have been much the smallest for four years but for a few cotton failures at New Bedford, and decrease appears in most other branches. The trading failures are smaller than in the first half of the three previous years. Only 3 branches of manufacture out of 14 show increase hover last year, and only smanufactur- ing and 5 trading and branches out of 14 show in June an increase over the monthly average for three years, only 4 manufacturing and 1 trading branch exceeded the monthly average in May, and only 3 manufacturing and no trad- ing branch in April. The average of liabilities is . lower in trading, and would be lower in ~manufacturing but for the few cotton failures, than in the first half of either previousyear. In spite of a few failures attributed in court proceedings to misconduct, the tendency in most branches is toward improvement. The tin plate works have settled the wage question and are again busy, and show a._production of 4,500,000 boxes with a. capacity of 6,250,000 boxes. The bar mills have more trou- ble, but a. general settlement of iron and steel wages is expected without much delay. New orders are small since the annual vacation began, but yet are large enough, the season con- sidered, to afford some encouragement. Cottons and Woolens. The cotton mills have a. steady and increasing demand, though not enough to raise prices at this season, and while raw cotton is firm at 7% cents there is too much good news from the fields to warrant an advance. The woolen mills are getting decidedly more orders for fall wants and beginning hopefully on spring goods, but are cautious in con— tracts for future delivery. Some have made large purchases of wool, but by far the greater part of the sales, which amounted to 14,120,500 pounds at the three chief markets for the week, have been of speculative character. The people who control the market for hides at Chicago are pushing up prices without limit. The ratio .for our usual quotations averages 126.38 against 100.65 a year ago, and recalls distinctly the ill fated boom in 1895 when the av- erage on the same basis rose to 151.50 and then fell about 40 per cent, to the crippling of many establishments. The accopnts of scarcity are met by cattle receipts at the four chief western mar— kets, 2,570,802 head in six months against 2,408,688 last year, 2,268,483 in 1895, 2.731,- 122 in 1894, 2,835,693 in 1893 and 2,823,626 in 1892. Leather is saved from decline by the hoisting of hides, and quotation§ do not change, but the great shrinkage in demand for boots and shoes has closed a considerable proportion of the shops and caused a. slight fall in some qualities. The Wheatr'MaI-ket. While the most cautious estimates of Wheat yield have been advanced, that of The Orange Judd Farmer to 575';000,- 000 bushels, prices have been lifted nearly 4 cents here, although Atlantic exports, flour included, were. Rir the week 1,503,953 bushels against 1,418,336 last year. Western receipts are small, only 1,394,632 bushels against 2,973,409 last year, and the disposition of farm- ers to hold for higher figures is strengthened by many foreign reports. It seems to be the fact that crops in other countries are less promising than usual, and the demand for American wheat is supplemented even at this season by exports of 2,605,594 bushels corn against 530,610 bushels 'for the same week last year. While imports of foreign -merchan- disc at New York last week showed an increase of 37 per cent against a. de- cline“in exports, these conditions are evidently temporary. Imports will shrink materially as soon as the tariff bill, which was passed by, the senate on Wednesday, goes into effect, while ex- ports will increase with the more liber- Railroad stocks are waiting after six weeks of remarkable advance,,bift waiting with- out decline, which is significant. Fall- ures for the week have been 206 in the United States against 215 last year, and 30 in Canada against 39 last year.- Suicide-of a. Boston Lawyer.

The habit is disgusting. Catarrh causes headaches, in flamma- tion of the eyes, deafness and consump- tion. The habit causes humiliation. Catarrh and habit should be cured. Mr. H. L. Woodworth, of 1 Burbank street, South Norwalk, says: “I have been troubled with catarrh for some time; my head and nose seemed pretty well stufied 'up, and the quantities of matter that ran into my throat at night would cause me to hawk, ‘spit and often gag in the morning, before I could clear my throat. I got some California Catarrh Cure at Plaisted’s drug store,and already these symptoms are very much better. My throat is finely free from all matter in the morn- ing, and my whole head feels much clearer.” . In cases of hay fever, California Ca- tarrh Cure gives instant relief, and used in season it will entirely prevent the malady. . ' Sold by all dealers, 50 cents; three times as much, $1.00.

Thorn, handcuffed to a detecte ive, was brought in first. He was D9T-n fectly, self possessed and looked straight into the eyes of the crowd that stared at him. His physlognomymras notable. His eyes were clear, keen, defiant and even menacing, His jaw was heavy and set. His mouth closed accuram-E: and firmly.

An,EnglIsh Paper Thinks the Time Is Ripe For Another Contest. London, July 10.—The Pall Mall Ga- zette this afternoon says: “When Brit— ish and American battleships exchange salutes, as the Medea and Brooklyn didlon July 4, many yachtsmen opine that the time has arrived when the good feeling displayed on the two sides of the Atlantic, as applied to the arts of war, might as Well be manifested in respect to the pursuits of peace, par- ticularly in the way of pleasure craft racing for the laudable object of su- premacy in marine sport. The fact, too, that the Philadelphians are meet— ing English players in our great na- tional game in most fair and pleasant rivalry and that the oarsmen of the United States are being heartily wel- comed to our rowing waters should cer- tainly testify that yachting could have been removed from the unenviable dis- tinction of being the pastime with which is associated regrettable strain- ing of international courtesies. “It might not be too much to hope that should ,Mr. C. D. Rose’s new Au- rora prove to be a good representative craft there may be a. series of matches in the United States for the America’s cup, the outcome of which will be to bring about a. better understanding over a too long existing dispute.” Postmaster-s Appointed.
