‘AN [Noollgool TRADE
Encouraging Reports Continue to Come
' In From Many Points.
A MOST NOTE WORTHY WEEK
'l'he Full Significance of the Recent Rise
In Railway Stocks—Army of New
Buyers Abroad Upset Calcula-
tions of the Old Hands.
New York, Aug. 14.—R. G. Dun &
Co.’s weekly review of trade says:
Every city reporting this week notes
increase in trade, and nearly all bright
crop prospects. The great change in
business is emphasized by the presence
of ,a. multitude of buyers from all parts
of'the country, by their statements of
the situation at (their homes'and, more
forcibly yet, by the heavy purchases
they are making, but the customary
signs of prosperity are not lacking. "The
strong rise in stocks, the growth of
bank clearings and railroad earnings,
the heavy speculation in many prod-
ucts, but most of all in wheat, have
made the week one of surpassing inter-
est even to those .who best remember
the upward rush in 1879. At the princi-
pal clearing houses throughout the
country payments in July were for the
first time- slightly larger than in 1892
and 11 per cent larger than last'year,
in the first week of August 7.7 per cent
larger than in 1892 and 28.4 per cent
larger than last year, and in the second
week of August they are 17.9 per cent
larger than in 1892 and 38.1 per cent
larger than last year.
The great crops and the haste of for-
eigners to buy and ship wheat, in view
of shortage elsewhere, have made the
week memorable. Taking of profits by
a pool lowered the price 3 cents on Sat-
urday, but it has since risen 6%,cents.
Western receipts, slow in July, have in'
two weeks been 7,395,713 bushels against
6,722,362 last year, and Atlantic exports,
flour included, have been in the same
two weeks 6,114,031 bushels against 3,-
884,313 last year. Even the demand for
corn, by greatly exceeding last year’s,
shows that foreign anxieties are seri—
ous, for 5,510,135 bushels have been ex-
ported ill two, weeks from Atlantic
ports against 2,514,428 last year. ‘The
price has advanced 1.37 cents, notwith-
standing enormous stocks brought over.
The urgency of ' French buying of
wheat, reports that Russia will stop
exports in order to keep supplies for it-
self and continued shipments from the
Pacific to countries usually having a
surplus make even the largest estimate
of probable supplies not too great for
the possible demand.
Advance In Stocks.
The advance in stocks, averaging
$1.70 for the 60 most active railroad is-
shes, would be far less impressive but
for the heavy selling of Lendon oper-
ators, who have been accustomed to
control this market. Dispatches now
bring out the fact that the buying by
a. new public in England is so great that
it may already outweigh all the selling
by the old hands, while Germany also
is buying largely. But the main fact is
that Americans are buying, and no
combination of operators has yet been
able to resist that movement when once
it has started in earnest. As in 1879,
the oldest speculators and the most
powerful are dazed and distanced by.
the absorption of stocks after they de—
cided that “reaction was due.” Obvious
causes are the great grain movement
and increasing earnings. July reports
cover earnings of $40,484,658 in the. Unit-
ed Statcs, on about half the total mile-
age, and are 4.6 per cent larger than
last year and only 3.4 per cent behind
1892. August returns so far show in-
crease of 13.1 over last year, and east
bound tonnage from Chicago is larger
than in 1892.
In all the great industries a large de-
mand for products appears, with strong
speculation in materials and intermedi—
ate products. In the iron and steel
branch, starting of many works after
settlement of wages keeps prices low,
and even depresses some, but the fact
that the demand is growing leads to
heavy purchases of iron ore, 200,000
tons at Cleveland in a week, and of bil-
lets 40,000 tons, while concessions re-
cently reported in pig iron have ceased.
The output of furnaces Aug. 1 was
165,378 tons against 164,064 July 1, and
decrease in known stocks unsold indi—
cates a consumption for two months
past averaging 181,000 tons weekly,
which is more than in the same months
of 1892, though below the greatly in—
creased capacity of works now. Sales
of tin are moderate, of copper to Amer—
ican consumers large, it is said at 11
cents for lake, and of lead at 3.72%
cents, with speculative realizing, but
heavy sales of tin platesare bringing
slightly better prices.
Textile Industriei.
All textile industries are encouraged
by a greatly improved and really large
demand for goods, which causes many
to advance in price. With production
much curtailed, stocks of cotton goods
are rapidly decreasing, and in woolens
advances have been made in clay wor-g
steds'and mixtures, flannels and mid-
counties, with prices about 1 cent high-
er, but sales of 23,499,800 pounds in,‘ two
weeks show the willingness of some
holders to realize.
The tide in money has turned, about
$500,000 more going out than. comes in
this week, but heavy bills against grain
to be exported already bring foreign
exchange near to the importing point.
Exports in two weeks here are 13 per
cent larger and imports 12 per cent less
than last. year, when exports exceeded
imports in August $19,132,816, and it
would seem that Europe may have a
balance to meet before long. Failures
for the week have been 239 in the
United States against 298 last year, and-
30 in Canada against 36 last year.

Norwalk People are-Talking
Aboflt it on every
Corner.
It is sometimes an easy matter to fool
the public, but you can’t keep it up
very long. They are sure to find you
out; and every time a. man is fooled an-
other skeptic is made. Skepticism is
allowable when reading in a home
newspaper about some incident occur-
ring in San Francisco or Iowa, but the
circumstances are entirely different,
when it refers to some one right here
at home, friends and neighbors, people
you know, whom you can see, and with
whom you can talk it over. This is
the kind of evidence at the back of
Doan’s Kidney Pills—home statements
by home people, and the astonishing
local work they have been doing, has
caused more talk among our citizens
than the doings of any other modern
wonder. Read the following:
Mr. C. A. Owens, N o. 190 Main street
isa painter and a. paper hanger by
trade. Like the majority of men who
follow this occupation he is troubled
with disordered kidneys. The requis-
ites to‘his calling benzine, turpentine,
and other dryers excite and inflame
those organs and late in the fall he
found himself suffering from a. return
of the old complaint. Mrs. Owens ever
mindful of her husband’s welfare, pro-
cured for him a box of Doan’s Kidney
Pills at Hale’s drug store and he used
them. Mrs. Owens says, “Myhusband
has been greatly benefited by the use
of Doan’s Kidney Pills: Constant
working in white lead and mixing paint
has brought on kidney trouble and a
severe headache. Relief in any form
is always welcome and we are pleased
to recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills for
'what they have done.

ANDRBB’S POLAR QUEST.
Confidence of His Family That He Will
Ultimately Be Heard From.
Chicago, Aug. 14L—Captain John Win-
drow of San Francisco, who has just
returned from Sweden, \where he visited
his relatives, including the family oi
Professor Andree’s brother, said'today:
“I was in Stockholm when the news
arrived that Andree had left Spitzber-
gen in his balloon. His family—that is,
his brother’s, for Andree is not married
—fully believe that he will be heard
from. Andree himself told. them- that
if no. news was received from him in
two months probably nothing would be
heard of him for a year, as he would
have then landed in such localities that
it would take months for him and his
party to reach a point where they could
communicate with the outside world.
“My own belief is that Andree has
struck a southwest wind, as these are
the winds that usually prevail at that
time of year in the northern latitudes,
and that he has been carried into Si-
beria, and it may be months before he
will be heard from.” '
