BUSINESS REVIEW.
Condition of Trade as Reported by Dun
& Cos. for the Past Week.
R. G. Dun & Cos. ’s weekly reviow of
trade says: A complete statement of
failures for the quarter, which closed
Friday night, is not possible, but tho
number thus far reported is about
| 4, 000, and tho aggregate of liabilities
! about $150,000,000, greatly surpassing
tho record of any previous quarter.
| For tho past week the failures have
been 329 in the United States, against
177 last year, and in Canada3l against
| 31 last year.
’’Hope deferred” explains the past
week in part, nnd it is doubtless true
that many indulged unreasonable
hopes, lmt business has not entiroly
answered expectations. Tho feeling
of disappointment is oommonly as
cribed to delay of action on tho silver
bill in tho senate. It is slho true that
| many works, which have resumed op
erations, do not find orders as large
or tho demand from customers ns vig
orous as they anticipated, and with
some it is a question whether they will
not close again. While money on call
has been abundant and cheap, and about
$4,500,000 clearing house certificates
have been retired, thero is n percepti
ble greater caution in making com
mercial loans at New York and atsonio
western points. Confidence, prover
bially of slow growth, has boon some
what diminished, in part, bocauso ad
vancing oxohango suggests tho possi
bility of gold exports. Tlio cotton
manufacture is gaining more than any
other, and there is a stronger market
for print cloths and prints, while some
reduction has helped to stimulate trade
!in other goods. The enormous de
crease in production for tho past two
months begins to bo felt, and sales are
larger, though much below tho usual
1 qantity.
While seventy-oiglit manufacturing
1 concerns aro reported as starting,
I wholly or in part, against twenty cloa
| ing or reducing force, moro than n
| third of tho increase has been in cot
j ton mills, and another third iu ma
j chine shops, nail mills, manufacturers
: of stoves anil hardware, tiols uud ears,
while in tho iron mnimfailuro proper,
i only seven concerns hnvo started,
; against three that have stopped, and
the outlook does not seem brighter.
The closing of tho largest iron inino in
tho country, tho Norris, which ordina
rily produces a million tons yearly,
! indicates tho limited character of tho
| business.
At tho oast tho demand for products
| is painfully inadequate, eveu for the
scanty force now at work, and the
lowest prices on record little
j 'business. It is said vunTrmo sale of
! steel rails has been effected by a sharp
reduction in price. The* contest be
tween the Amalgamated Association
! and the works in the Pittsburg region,
has been but tooi'ato for most
| of tho men.
CHOLERA IN EtIFOPE.
The Scourge Is On the Increase ami
Many Victims Kepurteil.
A cablegram was receiv and lit Wash
ington Wednesday front Leghorn,
Italy, signed by A. N. Rosenthal, Uni
ted States consul, announcing that
cholera is increasing to an alarming
extent iu Leghorn. Twenty-six cases
were discovered within twenty-four
hours. There are now fifty-six cases
under treatment.
A CIIOI-EKA STHIOKBN VESSEL.
Captain Black, of the steamer Ho
garth, which arrived at New York
Wednesday morning from Santos, re
ports while at Santos, September 2nd,
lie was informed that the Italian
stenme,r, Vincenzo FJori, from Genoa
to Rio, loaded with immigrants, and
which was refused admission to the
ports of Brazil owing to cholera on
board, had for some days been lying
outside in a holpless condition.
Deaths reported to be from twenty to
thirty daily, anil the bodies of tho
; victims, their bedding nnd clothing,
were thrown overboard and washed
ashore. It is supposed the vessel is
without medical assistance or supplies
and has insufficient provisions or cion
to proceed further.
MINERS DROWNED.
Thirty-Seven Unfortunates Caught in
a Flooded Mine.
Tho Mansfield mine, a few miles
from Crystal Falls, Mich., caved in
Thursday night and a number of
miners wero entombed beyond hope of
rescue of any of them alive. Tho ac
cident occurred during tho night,
'iho water of the river rushed into the
mine and tho men wero entrapped like
rats. It is not possible that any es
caped. Most of the victims nro Cor
; nish men and nine-tenths of them aro
men with largo families. The number
| of the victims is now placed at thirty
seven. Mansfield is an isolated sta
tion on tho Chicago and Northwestern
railroad. The mine was the or. ly ac
tive one in the Crystal Falls district on
account of its being a producer of
high-grade bessemer ore. It bad a
producing capacity of about sixty
thousand tons per annnm, and gave
employment to about one hundred
men. The Mansfield mine has always
been considered a dangerous one to
work in, and Thursday night’s disaster
often been predicted.
The Work of Wieekers.
