Weakly Review of Trade will say :
Failures for the Jlrat half of 1809 , with
banking nnd nnanclnl Included ns nn other
accounts published , were 4.8SO. with lia
bilities of $19,664,661. Commcrclnl failures
wcro 4,083 , liabilities J 12,062,933 , of which
$18,723,353 ttcro manufacturing nnd ? 23-
111,364 were trading.
In the second quarter the failures were
the smallest over reported In that naurtor
of twenty-five years In which quarterly re
ports have been made by this agency. The
average per failure , 17,103 , IB the Binallest
over known In any quarter ; the average per
firm In business $12.20 , and the ratio of de
faulted riabllltlco 02 cents per ? 1,000 , are
both the smallest ever known In any quar
ter.
Failure *
In ton out of fourteen branches of manu
facturing , failures were smaller than In the
same quarter of four of the previous flvo
years , and In thirteen out of fourteen
branches the larger failures for $100,000 or
more wore only two In trading for $224 , OSS ,
less than a tenth of the smallest previous
year , and only fifteen In all for $2-J17,180 ,
from a flfth to a. tenth of previous years.
The decrease In small1 failures Is worth
especial study.
Wheat declined % c , exports being hut
2,250,021 bushels for the week , Hour In
cluded , against 2,043,139 last year , for both
coasts , although western receipts wcro
3,801,523 bushels against 018,492 last year.

Journal estimates , they need the education
which they are getting , but the claim utlir
entirely falls to account for their liberal
shipping this year nt lower prices. Contra
dictory guesses and hopes continue , but this
year Is very hard on predictions. Corn experts -
ports arc twice last year's , 2,538,303 bush
els , against 1,208,255 last year for the week ,
and the price declined Vic.
The cotton movement still Indicates a
greater surplus than was expected , but dis
astrous floods In Texas caused 1-lCc advance ,
which dispatches from that quarter do not
seem to warrant. The loss , much or less ,
woufd not materially affect n year's business.
Scarcity nnd high prices of iron nnd Its
products can no longer bo reckoned evidence
of good times. lu the Shenango valley Bix
furnaces have been stopped by n strike for
20 per cent more wages , and strikes arc re
ported at various Iron works , the tin pinto
strike being yet unsettled. Now orders re
ported continue large , being reported week
after week nt dlfferont places as not being
taken , but orders do not equal the output
of the works. Predictions of great scarcity
of pig Iron have lifted the price iitlll fur
ther to 91.02 per ccut of the January price ,
but several moro furnaces nro going \to
operation and the Illinois Steel company has
contracted for others of the largest ca
pacity.

imADSTIlEKT'S FINANCIAL UBVIKW.
Decided Impetus to Speculation
.Marked the Clout" of tin"Vfilt. .
NEW YOniC. July 7. Bradstreet's Finan
cial Review tomorrow will say :
The formal announcement on last Friday
that the lenso of the Boston & Albany had
been ratified by the Now York Central direc
tors gave a further decided Impetus to spec
ulation on last Saturday. The market ac
cordingly closed decidedly strong for the
three-days' holiday , and totally disregarded
both the advance of call loan rates to B@6
per cent and the unexpectedly heavy reduc
tion of bank reserve shown by the clearing
house averages for the week , The speculative
world Is inclined to regard these two last
circumstances as well as the maintenance
of higher calf loan rates slnco the holiday
as a temporary effect of the enormous July
Interest nnd dividend disbursements.
The fact that on Saturday Uio Vnnderbllts ,
grangers and standard railroad shares rose
sharply and attracted nearly all the atten
tion , showed the direction which the move
I ment was Inclined to take. It may bo spe-
1
\

I dally mentioned that Pennsylvania shares
were a feature , rising to 133"fc , which shows
ho Importance the ntrcct attaches to the
alleged presence of Its president , Mr. C a-
salt , at the ratification Of the Central-
Albany lease. There have Indeed been rii-
niors that a compact has been made by
\hlch the Pennsylvania In to acquire control
of the New York , New Haven & Hartford
railroad , That , however , Is deemed Iinprac-
Icablo and undesirable and the only valid
leductlon that can bo drawn from the cir
cumstances In question Is that unusual har
mony prevails In the trunk line situation.
London prices tor Americans advanced
Monday nnd Tuesday , when the New York
and other American markets closed. When
the market opened on Wednesday It had n
bullish Influence to support It as well us
.he general expectation that a large part
of the extraordinary July disbursements ,
amounting to $120.000,000 to $150,000,000 ,
would find their way Into Wan street for
nvestmont. The manipulation was mainly
Hrected to advancing prices In various parts
of the list. Pools and prominent houses were
active In connection with their , upec allies
while the bond market presented a decidedly
firmer appearance. There appeared to be a
Imposition to take profits In the Vanderbllt
and granger shares , which caused recessions
from the early prices for these securities
and a number ot specialties nnd low priced
shares came to the front.
The Industrials once moro became act vo
nnd exhibited the confidence of speculative
Hupport and buying. These tendencies ns-
Berted themselves more significantly in
Thursday's trading , the tone of the market
on that dny being strong In the main , but
with Irregularity In the different parts of
the list nnd more of a disposition to pay
mention to the firmness ot smalt1 money and
ho failure of rates to relax Immediately.
On Friday the tone was generally firm and
was not affected by official denials of the
exaggerated reports about a Vnnderbllt-
Pennsylvnnla alliance. The Junior Vandor-
bllt stocks wcro strong features , and ad
vances were nlBO recorded In most ot the
lould properties. '

NEW YORK , July 7. Bradstrcefs tomor
row will say :
Holiday observances nnd seml-nnnuar
stock-takings have worked toward quiet In
general trade and Industry , but It Is signifi
cant of the favorable conditions ruling In
this , ns compared with previous years , that
trade advices point to rather moro than the
average business being done , notwithstand
ing the checks to demand and shipments
above mentioned. Additional results of the
season's work brought to light n report ns
favorable as those Indicated In Uradstreet's
report last week , nnd furnish nn adequate
basis for the general air of confidence with
which the business world fnces the latter
half of the year. Bank clearances returns
fully bear out estimates given last week ,
pointing to unprecedented totals nnd enor
mous gains for the six months' period over
preceding years , while Bradstreet'a report as
to prices points to a steady strengthening
of quotations of staples and exceptionally
few decreases In prices registered In June.
All Indications favor n total of export trade
little below that of last year's phenomenal
total , what little falling off there has been
shown being duo to reduced European tak
ings of American food products. Preliminary
reports as to railroad gross earnings Indi
cate exceptionally good showings for the
month and the half-yearly period , the gains
in fact being the heaviest reported this year ,
Distributive business on seasonable ac
count Is naturally on a email scale , but or
ders for fall delivery are reported particu
larly liberal and making favorable compari
sons with last year. In the Iron trade , the
strength of prices and demand Is still the
most notable feature , further advances In
pig Iron being notable this week and delays
eroding out of Inadequate supplies are be
coming Increasingly numerous ,
Another strong situation Is found In the
woolen trade. Prices of the better grades
have been advanced this week on active de
mand for dealers and manufacturers and In
sympathy with the advance at London. The
manufactured product Is strong and the new
season opens well. Cotton has strengthened
quite considerably , owing to very heavy
rains , culminating in disastrous floods in
Texas.
The wheat market has moved within a
narrow range this week , without conditions
furnishing the basis for moat of the changes
shown , the close of the week witnessing
considerable firmness on short covering ,
due to less satisfactory crop reports from
the northwest , which are , however , not con
firmed by good , heavy receipts at primary
markets by the rather better than expected
outturn of winter wheat , and by the confi
dent reports na to trade received from the
northwest. Among the Industries which io-

The candidacy of Charles Elgutter for
county judge was given an Impetus last
nlg-ht by the Indorsement of the Young
Men's Republican club of the First ward , In
which Mr. Elgutter Is a resident. This ac
tion was taken upon motion of ono of the
prominent republican workers In that
ward , who stated that the club esteemed
It a privilege to bo able , to endorse a man
who had been reared In the ward and -who
ihod spent the best part of his life therein.
The motion was carried by an unanimous
vote.
vote.Last
Last night's meeting of the young repub
licans In the east side ward of the city was
well attended , even though it hod not been
well advertised , and much enthusiasm whs
apparent. The republicans had gathered to
hear from the various candidates for office
and after the meeting had been called to
order by President R. K. Paxton , Mr. El
gutter was first called upon. Mr. Elgutter
courteously gave way to the visiting can
didates and Charles Unltt of the Ninth
ward , who Is out for the republican nomi
nation for sheriff , was Introduced.
Mr. Unltt congratulated the First ward
republicans on their activity and said this
is a year when all republicans are- alive and
active. He spoke of the financial depres
sion and congestion of labor conditions
three years ago when the fuslonlsts took
advantage of the existing conditions and
made a fierce campaign. He compared the
general activity in all business lines at the
present time with the slugglihncea of three
years ago and stated that the republican
party had fulfilled all Its promises and the
laboring man la consequently contented. He
paid especial attention to the Philippine
problem , relating the Incidents which led
up to the capture of Manila by Admiral
Dewey and the subsequent events , and when
he stated that it was the policy of the re
publican party to care for the wards which
had coino to them , as a result of the cam
paign against the 'tyranny ' and oppression
of Spanish misrule he was roundly cheered.
Frequent applause greeted him during the
course of his remarks and a patriotic and
complimentary allusion to President Me-
Klnley was enthusiastically received.
E. C. Walcott , candidate for county
Judge from the Flftn ward , followed Mr.
Unltt. He stated that the republican party
was the party ot destiny. Ho recounted
some of the critical questions which have
come before It from the time of its foun
dation and all have been squarely mot and
satisfactorily settled. Mr. Walcott's remarks
were well received.
HlKHttcr Speiiki.
Charles Elgutter next responded to the
calls for a speech and confined his remarks
to matters of a local nature. He warmly
endorsed the candidacy of Lee Estelle , can-
dldato for the judicial bench from the First
ward. "He is a clean-cut , htgh-mlnded
gentleman , " eald Mr. Elgutter , "a good
lawyer and a loyal republican. He has been
on the bench and most of you are personally
acquainted with him. There is yet the first
breath of scandal to be raised against him. "
The speaker laid especial stress on the ne
cessity of careful selection of judicial tim
ber , as the courts are the protection of a
man's home , family and life Itself. He out
lined the Importance of the several county
offices and also reminded the voters of their
duty to party Interests in giving loyal sup
port to the candidates for the supreme
bench.
John Holt , candidate for the nomination
for commissioner from the Fifth district ,
was the last speaker. He predicted a glor
ious republican victory this fall and re
lated a number of Instances of silver re
publicans returning to the fold which had
come under his personal observation. He
assured the voters that In case ho failed
in landing the nomination sought by him
ho would labor just as valiantly for Tno
success of the ticket as If he were a can
didate himself.
Before adjournment the announcement
was .made that the First Ward Republican
club would meet next 'Monday evening. At
this meeting It Is expected that Mayor
Moores will deliver an address. A double
quartet has also been provided. The young
men's club adjourned until next Friday
night.
SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
at
The scheme of reorganizing the city coun
cil was brought to life yesterday again and
for a few moments It looked as If Ed John
ston , the councilman from the Fourth ward ,
would step Into the mayor's shoes while
the latter is away. Ensor failed to depart
as per schedule and the plans of the com
bine were knocked sky high. As the coun
cil now stands Billy Bennett Is president
and in the absence of the mayor is act
ing mayor. The plan has been to reorgan
ize 'before ' Ensor left for the cast and make
Johnston president of the council. This
would leave Johnston In the mayor's shoes
as soon as the chief executive left the city.
An effort was mode to work this deal
through last week , but Johnston could not
obtain enough votes. Another attempt v as
made Thursday night , but some of the mem
bers of the council iballccd and refused to
sign n call for n. special meeting.
It was openly asserted on the streets yee-
terday afternoon that Johnston was doing
everything In his power to bring about nn
agreement among the members of the coun
cil. According to reports the scheme fell
through , for Johnston Is reported as say
ing that there would be no reorganization at
this time.
W , A. flennett , who Is the president of
the council and the acting mayor In the
absence of Mayor Ensor , said last night ho
had "heard of the deal on foot to oust him
and he did not propose to stand for It. Ho
said that ho had been elected president of
the council and proposed to servo his tlmo
out , ho would not resign , neither would ho
permit a reorganization at this tlmo , if bo
could prevent It ,
The talk about Mayor Ensor giving up his
job Is considered all bosh and In some circles
it Is thought that ho will servo out his term.
A report was current that Wear had gene
over to the Johnstonltes , hut this could not
bo traced to any reliable source. Kelly Is
opposed to a reorganization and with Fan-
forllk to back him the scheme could not
-ho put through. While Fanferllk claims
to too a republican It la reported that be
has been training with the Johnston crowd
lately and so no great dependence Is placed
on bis veto at this time. As it takes six
votes to reorganize It Is thought now that
Johnston may have a hard time figuring out
enough to carry his scheme through.
