FAILURES THE SMALLEST EVER KNOWN Hullroml KamliiKM Are firowliijf nt n Mrlile Mont Wonderful TTcnr In the Commerce. NHW YORK , July 21. R. G. Dun & Co. in their Weekly Review of Trade will say : Optimism 1 ? alwavs popular , but more than half the time dangerous. Seven years of halting reaction historically follow three of rapid progress. But three of progress have not ) et passed and the most cautious search discloses no sign of baiting. Foreign inactivities have been real , but seem to be passing , and 1'uropo has begun paying lib erally for more food without expectation that securities can be sent In bettlement. Tbo extensive labor strikes have vanished and tbo local ones do not affect national business. Tears of new and powerful cor porations lessen ns It is found that they are controlled by the some laws which govcr.i the smair companies. Above all tbo general evidences of pros perity continue convincing , failures are De smallest ever known tor the season , rail road earnings are largest and solvent pig ments through clearing bouses In July have been larger than fast year and C2.3 per cunt larger than in 1892 , the best of previ ous years. Olllclals returns of the most wonderful year In the nation's commerce show a < le- crease of ? S5liOO,000 In value of the great Btnplca exported , largely owing to prlcen , but an increase of about 180,000,000 in other exports , mostly manufactures. Reports of deficient crepe have been burled under western receipts from farms , amount ing to 13,861,046 bushels of wheat for the month thus far , against 3,773,103 bushels last year , and 1C,29SG55 bushels of corn , against C,012,315 bushers last year , Exports of wheat , Atlantic and Pacific , bavo been 7,709,193 bushels during tbo month thus far , ngalnflt 7,399,259 bushels last > car , and of corn 9,003,0)1 ) bushels , as.ilnst 5,097 , ! > i7 l.uth- els last 5car. I'rlcen declined sharply , with assurance of ample supplies , wheat 3 cents and corn 2',4 cents , which lu the more sig nificant in view of the previous heavy ex ports of both. Cotton also Is gaining abroad largely , though tbo price remains at 0.19 ccnlH.

The American Tin Plato company vet- tied with its hands by granting 15 per cent more wages and raUed the price of plates CO cents per box Still demands do not abate , though works have to refuse many orders. In plates ono largo order for thip- rnent to the Cl > de was received , In bars less urgency of demand appears at the vact , but in sbtHits works are ubout tilled for the jear and In structural shapes , besides 3 COO tons for bridges and l.JOO tons for bulUlngs at Chicago , a proposal is reported tor . ' .000 tons to build a palace for tha inikalo of Japan. Coke Is unchanged in price and likely to break the record for production this month. Tin is lifted to 28 'J cents by wild specjla- tlon , copper is firm at 1SV4 cents and lead is Bald to bo gold by the smelting : companies below 4.C cents , the quoted price. Wool is still advancing , Coatra brothers' rlrcufur of the IMh show ing a rise it 219 cents elnco May 15 , speculation being par ticularly active in flno wool , because it is rUlng abroad , though iu less demand tor manufacture hero thau combing and medium grades. Manufacturers do not appear to be buying largely , thouB-ti the demand for poods Is and has caused an advance iu and some other kinds. Cotton goods are unchanged , but fairly strong. Leather is in good demand and slightly higher and hides at Chicago rise slightry , with limited receipts. Failures for the week have been 143 in the United States , against 207 last jear , and 23 in Canada , against 17 last jear.

Bradstreet's Fi nancial Review tomorrow will say : Exceedingly narrow speculative conditions have prevailed this week In the securities market. The customary suspension of its activity at this period of tie j ar has been aggravated by the continued firmness of money , by the uncertainty of the finan cial position and speculation in the foreign markets , and by the Increased symptoms of resttveness on the part of Tabor at home. On the other hand , while money la llrraer hero there Is no symptom of stringency and nothing to enforce liquidation of holdings of stocks. The fact that crop prospjcta at the west arc extremely favorable , the outlook for n phenomenal jleld of corn in particular be ing very brilliant , has alee checked bearish activity and caused Borne purchasing of the granger stocks , based on the Idea that largely increased earnings are assured on the properties. Current railroad earnings aro. Indeed , \ery satisfactory and the in dustrial and business situation on the whole gives confidence to Wall street as to the fu ture of the Block market , modified somewhat by the idea that such a state of niialrs will lead to an augmented demand for money anrt both divert casil'al from spec ulation foil Induce a algUjr rai.ge . of m- tsicst : ates. The example of the London money mar ket , where the somewhat stringent condi tions that have fately prevailed are attrlbI uted to the activity of trade throughout Great Britain and the consequent demand for mercantile accommodations , have not ts- caped the attention of the market and fur nish the basis for comparisons between ( ho position at London and what la possible here During the earlier days of the week the stringency of money at London and the firmness of exchange rates here caused apprehension that the recent outflow of gold would be renewed , but .such fears were not realized and the appearance of an easier tone in the principal foreign money mar ket , with the absence of the expected nd- vance In the Rank of England rate of dis count on Thursday , was accounted a favor able factor. The strike on the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system and ( be similar disturbances on Bome'of the Metropolitan Street railway lines In .Manhattan borough Ijart less effect than had been anticipated , though the stocks of both corporations wore depressed and the incident , particularly In the early portion tion of the week , created additional caution In professional circles. It is expected , how ever , one of the maxims of Wall street , that boar movements based on labor trou bles are seldom if ever profitable to short setters of the stocks affected , For this reason and because of the sup port extended to the traction stocks they did not yield materially and In fact showed some response to the latter developments tending to show the weakness of the stock There were no new deals In the railroad world , though suggestions of coming devel opments of that kind continue to crop out and have an Influence in checking any dis position to sell stocks. In view of these different factors the market has been alto gether professional in character and quaC- Ity , with Irregular fluctuations and without bearish tendencies that some of the events of the week might have suggested. HUADbTIlEIVlw ! > IIUVIIIW OF THAIJK. The AKKTi-Kitte of .Ml linn miner U of Unprecedented Volume. KRW YORK , July 21. Bradstreet's tomorrow - morrow -Hill say : The general trade zltuatlon has apparently lost nothing in strength. The aggregate of mldiummer business U of au unprecedented \olume and signs of expansion In the de mand for fall and winter goods increase. Prices , except for the cereals , coffee , raw sugar and some dairy products , are either firmly held or tend upwards. Notable among those advancing are pork prxlucts , petroleum , copper , tin , tin plates and law * wool , while the list of products unchanscd includes refined sugar , hides , leather , lea > l and cotton. Corn prospects arc encouraging , the move ment of grain to market is of Immense vol ume and railroad earnings consequently continue to show large increases over pre ceding vears. Prospects that the present co'-n crop witl equal If not exceed the larg est on record have depressed prices of this c -real to an extent equal to the decrease in wheat. The corn jield in Kansas particularly promises to bo enormous , al'vays providing that hot winds do not affect the crops. Iron and steel retain all of their old strength and while prices at the east are unchanged further advances in crude and manufactured material arc noted at Cj - cago. Inquiry by Bradstroct's shows that the scarcity of supplies In this industry lias exercised some Influence upon ladustilil op erations. Several mills at the west are re ported idle because of lack of uiateii.il. Structural forms of iron and steel ara also backward in delivery and some new vtrk has been discouraged by fears that supplies of material will not be forthcoming. In textile circles the situation 'a ' .one of unabated strength , but particularly eo on wool and woolen goods. Manufacturers ore good buvers at the east and their -gents are purchasing heavily at the west. Quota tions for higher grades are higher air around. In the market for finished goods orders are of good volume , particularly in worsted , and some concerns arc cutting down consumers' orders , claiming inability to dellvr. The Jobbing demand for dry seeds IB in creasing slowly at the east anJ the prospects are regarded as highly encouraglnir. Ad vices from the boot and shoo trade are generally satisfactory and ritllo dilllculty is I experienced in obtaining the advanced quo tations demanded An example of earlier activity In this line Is furnished by the le- port that Boston shipments for the iirst half of this jear exceed these of last year by over 3,000,000 pairs. Leather is active and hides ara firm with a good margin of profit reported In the ' former industry.

HAVANA MERCHANTS ALL AGREE ON THAT \VitlKlrai\nl of the Military Would IncrvnNC Hrliiniiiliifie Definite I'ciHey from America 1m Wanted. HAVANA , July 21. A cable message re ceived here today stating that Senor Carlos Garcia was in Washington for the purpose of conferring with President McKinley and others interested in Cuban affairs and alleg ing that ho had asserted that Cuba's great est need i& the substitution of civil for mili tary government , has been the subject of considerable comment. On 'change , where a large majority of the large business houses of Havana are represented , the feeling lt > that at present a change is not advisable , as the putting of new men in ofilco would disturb business and the withdrawal of the military would mean an Increase of brigand age. \ot a Silicic DliiKcntlnK Voice. Among twenty-two prominent merchants of Havana , including Spaniards , Cubans , Americans and others of various nationali ties , who were called upon with reference to the statement , not a singledlesentlng volco was raised against the continuance of the military government for nt least two or three veare , until the country had settled down and brigandage had been stamped out , partly through force , 'but more through the putting of Idle men at work on improve ments. One merchant said : "Remove the For- aker amendment and Cuba will blccuom into a wealthy country , capital will flood the Island , everything will boom and brigandage will necessarily cease. Hut what the Amer icans do not understand U the fact tint diplomacy Is ingrained in our blood. We can twist American diplomats around our fingers. Our Spanish ancestry is answerable for this. The only Interests that irou\A \ ba served now would be for those Cubans out of office , who Imagine they could get appoint ments if a change were made. " Another merchant and a prominent steam ship agent said : "The papers in Cuba eeeni to think that public opinion consists only of these who have no possible interest in the island other than personal and sentimental and who ore led by wiry politicians , and that those importing and exporting merchandise into and from the island and paying customs revenues are not entitled to be heard as not representing public opinion. On the same principle , why not see what are the wishes of the convicts and prisoners in the island. For God's sake glvo Cuba a rest lor at least two years and a chance to recuperate. Re move the lews preventing capital coming into the island and then see tbo result , learn what the people really -want as soon as possible and you will benefit all con' cerned. Definite Policy U Xeetleil. "The American government ought to an nounce a definite parley &a regards the island , putting a limit to the time it will hold it without a vote of the public. A military government should bo continued two , three or five years the last would be best for Cuba's interests. " The other interviews were ia ft similar , strain , showing conclusively ( tat the opln-i Ion of the wealthy and business clashes fa-1 vors conservative methods and the continu ance for the time being of the milltarj government as best adapted -to handle the situation. The Cuban base baU team * \ ill leav e tomor row to engage Jn a scries of games in Penn sylvania , Illinois , Missouri , Connecticut and Now Jersey. Abel Linares , the manager of the team , says be expects to make a good showing and will astonish the Americans with the ability of the team to play base ball , which has long been the favorite game with the Cubans. The trip of the club will occupy two months. La Discussion , referring editorially to the street car strike in Drookljn , sajs : "If America were just out of a similar war to that In which Cuba has been engaged and were In the same condition to which the war and the intervening nation has brought us , mould there have been more order than there is hero at present. Judging from the conduct of tbo Americans ? No one can be surprised at the deelre to be free from such a people. " CtilmnH Suffer from Delay. Dispatches to most of the local papers from Guantanamo report disorder and possi ble trouble there owing to the large num ber of names that have been left off the array lists. Many of the former insurgents who left their work in order to collect their shares of the American gratuity are badly off on account of the delay in payment. El Recoucentrado abuses General Gomez for advising Governor General Brooke not to make any more pajments until nil the lists are complete , alluding in particular to Guantanamo and declaring that the disorder will extend over the entire island it some thing is not done at once. General Gomez reproaches1 those who com plain at not receiving their $75 , sa > ing they should not show themselves tf > eager for "such an Insignificant gratification tendered by a foreign government. " Complaints reach General Gomez every day from different cities in the Island re garding the number of men left off the rolls.

GOLD COIN ON THE INCREASE Half the Circulating Medium of the Country Composed of Ycl- loiv Metal. OCEAN CITY , Sid. , July 21. Speaking before the Mar.vland Bankers' association today , Ellis H. Roberts , treasurer of tha United States , said : Since July 1. 1S9S , the gold ia circulation has grown by J62.100.579 , and the net amount in the treasury , then J1S9.444.714 , has become about $246,000,000 the highest fig ures In our annals. Such an increase In the yellow metal available for currency , with the demand for additional circulation , gives vital form to the question , why not add to the use of goH coin ? Under exist ing laws the volume of United States note * is definitely restricted , while silver cer tificates cannot exceed the standard silver dollars In. the treasury , nor the treasury notes run be > end the bullion held against them. The national banks , while adding to their circulation J13.451.994 from July 1 , 1S9S , to June , 1S99 , are now quite steadtfy drawing in their notes. Without new legis lation the only way to increase the cur rency is by the use of gold coin. Gold last year went into our circulation at the rate of more than $3,000.000 a month , and during Juno last the growth was J14.06S.521. Obviously , the question for bankers about gold coin is not. can you get it ? But will you usa It ? The figures show that an affirmative answer has been renedered in considerable degree , -with some protests doubtless , and more or less under the stress of necessity. The stock of BOM in the United States exceeds that in any country in the world and is estimated to bo 1975,454,000 , and U 50.3 per cent of all our circulation and f 12.81 per capita of our population. We cannot doubt that congress will at Its next session put the nation clear ! } , definitely and permanently on a gold basis Does not that mean more than that gold shall be our money of account * It rnuet purport that an forms of currency shall be exchangeable Into that of the legal standard. lrntnprnt AVtJl Opiiome LEXINGTON.
