TRADE TOPICS.
Bradstreet’s Report of Business for
the Past Week.
Bradstreet’s revieAv of trade for tho
past week 6ays:
“The Pj’ ec i a l telegraphic and mail
advices summarizing interviews with
more than five hundred leading whole¬
sale dealers and manufacturers nt
forty-seven cities throughout the
country ns to the present effect, if any,
of thc prospective tariff settlement,
and the outlook as to the effect of tho
senate tariff bill, should it become a
law, indicate relatively less enthusi¬
asm at largo eastern centers, except.nt
New York and Baltimore; almost uni¬
form satisfaction throughout the
southern states and similar advices
from the central and northwestern
states, except where serious crop dam¬
age has taken place. In the far west,
little interest is manifested in tariff
legislation, notably at Denver and
Helena, where silver attracts more at¬
tention. Portland fears the result in
the reduction of the tariff on lumber,
but at San Francisco an improve¬
ment in demand is expected aud con¬
siderable freight is offering for ship¬
ment to China.
“A feature is found in declarations
from manufacturers of woolen goods,
glassware, pottery and iron and steel
at various centers of production, that
wages will probably be reduced.
“Aside from the probable improve¬
ment due to the ending of the uncer¬
tainty in business, neither Boston,
Providence, Buffalo, Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, Newark nor Rochester mer¬
chants interviewed express noteworthy
enthusiasm ns to the trade prospect.
While no gain is reported in trade
circles at southern cities, several thous¬
and coal strikers have gone back to
work in the Birmingham district, sev¬
eral southern railways are calling for
more coal and southern iron works are
shipping more iron than a year ago.
It is reported that Atlanta hardware
jobbers based recent prices on tho
Wilson bill, and the prospective pas¬
sage of the senate bill and will make a
difference in profits in consequence.
Little Rock expects eastern cotton
manufacturers to buy more freely now,
and three leading Texas cities, in view
of the excellent crop prospects in that
state and prospectively the largest
cotton crop on record, regard the bus¬
iness# outlook very favorably. The
proposed change in the sugar sched¬
ule exerts material depression in Louis¬
iana.
“The region west of Pennsylvania
and east of tho Mississippi river re¬
ports almost uniformly favorable trade
conditions, with gains in demand and
in industrial activity, except in Indi¬
ana and Illinois pottery industries,and
among Indiana clothing manufactu¬
rers, who report that they expect to
reduce wages.
“Aloney at nearly all leading finan¬
cial centers has hardened. Demand
for shipment west to move and carry
the crops has begun to exert an appre¬
ciable influence.”

A Washington special says: Doubt
still exists in the minds of many im¬
porters as to the assessment of duty on
goods arriving in this country prior
to or the day the tariff bill becomes
effective, but not formally entered
until after the bill has become a law.
In reference to this confusion it is ex¬
plained at the treasury department
that the bill will not go into effect un¬
til the day after the president’s signa*
ture is affixed or the law becomes op¬
erative through the expiration of the
ten days’ l imit.

Plionautograph.
This instrument, according to tho
Chicago Evening Post, performs all
tho functions of the human “typewri¬
exeept to chew gum and entertain
gentlemen callers during tho
business hours. It is claimed to be a
new invention that business men can
dictate letters into ono end and pull
them out of the other end ready for
tho post. It does not yet appear to bo
perfected,as it adheres to tho phonetio
system of spelling and outragos Web¬
ster in no uncertain degree; and, liko
many of its human competitors, its
capitalization and punctuating aro ex¬
asperating. Yet, tho inventor claims
that all tlieso defects will bo remedied.
It is not yet on tho market, but is said
to resemble a cash register in appear¬
ance. It is actuated by electricity—
simply press the button, talk into
tho cylinder and the phonautograph
does the rest.”
