the commercial disasters a yet resulting

efforts during the last few months to get

Is seen, and the remarkab.e steadiness In
number and size of the great majority of
failures not for exceptional amounts, there
appears ground for special satisfaction that
business has been on the whole so soundly

NEW YORK, July 13. Bradstrcefs to
morrow will say:
While trade Is still only of moderate vol
ume tho beginning of Improvement in de
mand is apparently becoming visible. The
Improvement Is still one of tone rather
than of demand, but with n vleld of 010.
frM.COO bushels of wheat, a next to record
breaking yield of corn nnd a very large
production of oats the western crop situa
tion contnlns many encouraging features.
The southern cotton crop has undoubtedly
luffered and the condition Is unprecedently
low for this season of tho year, but tho
acreago planted was a largo one and prices
are so much higher that a satisfactory
fnanclal return is confidently looked for.
n addition railroad earnings point to tho
maintenance of the business of the country
at a volume In excess of last year.
Tho effort of tho big iron and steel con
cerns to control prices, If really made, has
proven abortlvo and another wholesale
Plashing of quotations Is to be reported this
week. Production, however, Is falling off
nnd increases of furnace stocks, though
considerable, would seem small if renewed
itctlvity occurred. It Is hard to see how
lower prices can be expected and It Is ex
pected present quotations will advance,
especially at Chicago.
Tho situation in cotton goods Is nn em
barrassing one for the manufacturers. Raw
cotton, old crop, this week reached the
highest price In ten years, but nothing like
a proportionate, advance Is being secured
In manv of tho Unlshcd products. Export
trade with China has been checked, several
mills have shut down nnd short time dur

rather better tore Is noted In tho dry goods
market at New York, wtth symptoms of ex
panding demand, chlctly, however, for sea
sonable goods. Concessions In prices have
Induced rather freer buying of wool at Home
centers and the tone of the Ixmdon sales Is
firmer, but tho goods market shows little
animation.

will be much more serious, If the war lasts
till then, than Americans generally suppose,
fiom the fact that winters there are much
more severe than ln this portion ot the
United States. Continuing Dr. Luscher says;
Tho sources of weakness of the Chinese
armv are that the soldiers have no confi
dence ln each other and thnt there are no
leaders. Men who rank high enough to be
officers will not drill their men. They are
too aristocratic. There will not be big
armies for the Europeans to fight, but
hordes of disorganized fanntics who are
not afraid to attempt anything which will
harrass the whites. The Europeans can
whip their armies, but that will not sup
press China. They might be quieted If
their leaders were in captivity, but starving
them out Is more likely to bring results.
Japan can whip China's armies, but Its
rabble will be a different thing to deal
with.
BRINGS MANY MISSIONARIES
All Those In Tlrn Tsln District rv
At'countccl For ionic Unr
Inu Rescues.
NEW YORK, July 13. A dispatch to the
Jcurnnl and Advertiser fram Che Foo July
D says: Oreot Joy reigns in Che Foo, In
spired by the safe arrival of every white
rrlsslonary and every native preacher In tho
Tien Tsln district hitherto unaccounted for.
The steamer Shin Flng of Chinese registry,
but officered by Amerlccns and English,
brought ln the refugees, to the number of
more than 200. They report that more than
15,000 refugees ln TIcn Tsln and Taku have
been rescued from certain death by the
allied forces of the powers.
The missionaries who arrived by the Shin
Fing are: Perkins, Crawford, Lewis,
Blalock, Crawford, Hudson, Dawes, Tedder,
Partch, Burnham, Fitch. Farles, Parker,
Hayes. Porter. Moon (Boon?), Lowe. Thomp
son, Luce. Irwin, Mateer, Hartwell, Print,
Stephen, Dutton, Owen, Neal and Cooper.
Every missionary In Shan Tung province
and every native preacher ot the Methodist
TIcn Tsln district is now accounted for.
The steamer sailed from an obscure coast
wise port with Its destination secret. Rev.
P. D. Bergen, one of the refugees, made a
gallant rescue of foreign ministers near bis
station at Tsln Tao, 160 miles southwest
of Che Foo. Mrs. Bergen and Dr. and Mrs.
J. B. Nealc aro among the refugees arriv
ing on the-Bhln Flng. At Fcng-Tszl three
Chinese concerts were killed. Mrs. Crosettl
of Wei Hein brought on with her party Davis
and Johnson. Fleming also escaped.
Watts nnd Fenton made a gallant ride to
Taku to bring the news of the critical con
ditions in outlying Shan Tung villages.
They swam the P61 Ho river twice and were
fired upon by the natives at every village
they passed.
Hopkins, Partch, Luce and Ewing left for
Japan by today's steamer. Rev. Mr. Corn
wall of Che Foo has greatly distinguished
himself by making three trips Into the
interior to rescue missionaries. Tbe English
mission at Cheng Chow has been looted and
burned.
