6 IRREGULARITIES IN TRADE HOT FEELING IY OENGRAL BlSl- XKSS IS CHEKRFUL. Jpplfoi Arc Yot Showloi; the Pre cipitate Decline Noted Sometime Ago, and There Are Several Eo conrnging Footore* The Oofton mjMl Cotton Good. Market* Have Had a RemMrkuble Year—An Ini- MenMe Rniiiueas in Steel Proinota la Reported. New York. Aug. 10.—Brad streets to-mor row will say: Trade conditions atill exhibit many of the irregularities incident to the transi tion period between midsummer and early fall trade. Despite the hot wave, with its effect on t e growing distributive demand, and also because of the leports of damage to the ! cr rn crop which it has incited, a more cheerful feeling is perceptible in j g.*ierai trade, and the booking I of fail orders for dry goods, cloth- ( ing and hardware at leading Western cer.- nts and heavy engagements in iron and j s*eei products, though at low prices, are of encouraging proportions. Prices are not showing the precipitate declines noted sometime ago, and among tlio really encouraging features are the advance in wheat, mainly baaed on im portant export inquiry- Cotton goods partake of the strength of the raw material, due to talk of a jossi- Ue bullish crop retort, and where weak ness is still perceptible, us in brown print cloths and wide sheeting, the natural eor leowive of reduced production is being in creasingly soiytht. Cotton and Cotton Goods. It ha* been a remarkable year in cot eon goods, and although the goods mar ket is relatively weaker than the raw ma terial. a great deal hinges on the next month’s business in dry goods circles. It is regarded as relatively certain that with a 11.0iO.OO“ bale crop values will be main tained at prices lower, it is true, than the present quotation for raw material, but still high when comparer] with last or previous years’ ranges. The spring or “light weight" season has opened with prices 2hi to 10 per cent, higher than a year ago. and much depends on the action of buyers in guiding manufacturers in the purchase of raw material. While the dry goods demand as a whole is still classed as backward for the sea son, hot weather is credited with some of the responsibility, and the trade atti tude as a whole is one of hopeful ex pectancy. Bin Rn*in*R lit Steel. An immense business in steel products is reported booked at Pittsburg and Chi cago. and steel bars are really firmer, with an advance of $4 per ton announced by Western manufacturers, who have sold their output up to the close of the year. Pig iron is still rather neglected, but inquiry for this material is really better at the South, largely on export account, and furnace shut-downs are so numerous as to indicate an adequate realisation of the fact that the root of the evil is in the output of the crude material. Current production is claimed to be the llghest for more than a year past, and further announcements of shut-downs are sche duled as far ahead as Sept. 1. Business failures in the United States do not vary much, numbering 172 for the week, agains-t 170 last week. Ib6 in this week a year ago, 157 in 1898, 214 in 1897 and 258 in 1896. Canadian failures number 3). against 29 laat w*ek, 27 in this week last year and S3 in 1898. BAXLEY’S SYRUP REFINERY. A New Enterprise That Promise* Abundant Sucre**. Baxley. Ga., Aug. 10.—The Baxley Syrup Refinery has lieen organized here with a capital pak| in of So.ooo, for the purpose of manufacturing and Teflning Georgia cane eyrup. and putting it on the market in an attractive manner. The machinery has arrived, and is being placed in position, to be ready for this fairs crop of cane, by the time it matures. The fact that some of Baxley’s most enterprising business men are the promo ters. and have pieced their money in it insures it a reasonable success. Mr. C. W. Dean, a prominent and wealthy naval stores operator. Is president. The direc tory consists of A. N. McCool. T. L. HoU, 6. M. Johnson, G. D. Lew\ J. A. John son. W. Hughes Rogers. It is Btated that the capacity of the mill for crushing is 150 gallons of juice per hour. The evaporators have a capacity of 60“ gallons of syrup daily. The kettles for refining are amply sufficient for refining the output. The secret process for le flninx leaves the syrup with all its orig inal flavor and prevents fermentation. The product will be put on the market in at tractive packages, ranging from a quart tin, to thirty-gallon barrels, and sold under a positive guarantee to retain its original flavor when new. The company proposes to buy the cane, the Juice or the syrup from the farmer, or refine the syrup for him. thus* giving him the advantage of a home cash mar ket for his product, or putting his syrup in condition for him to keep it indefinite ly in the best condition.
