TRADE REVIEW.
.Estimates Indicate a Cotton
Crop of 10,000,000 "Bales.
More Active Business is Expected
After the Conventions Are Over.
An Increased Number of Failures A Do.
cllne In Wheat and Cotton Doot and
Shoo Industry la SHU Active A Dc.
clino In Textile Manufactures.
New York, Juno 6. II. G. Dun & Co.
says Saturday:
Failures for tho week were 234 in the
United States against 105 last year,
and 29 in Canada against 25 last year.
It is highly suggestive that with as
little holp as there is now from
now business, markets aro so near
ly maintained. 'Tho opinion gains
' ground that more active business is to
be expected after tho conventions havo
been held and tho safety and sufficiency
of crops have been assured.
Decline in wheat and cotton has
helped marketing the surplus, so that
exports have been more liberal; esti
mates entitled to most confidence point
to a probable yield of 500,000,000 bush
els of wheat. Estimates of cotton
acreage ,by tho best authorities in
dicate a crop of 10,000,000 bales
if weather is favorable and the
surplus from the past crops is
certain with only a fair yield to bo
large enough to prevent any harmful
rise, as a yield exceeding tho maximum
world's consumption of American
would probably causo some decline.
Even fair crops will mean better busi
ness for railroads, which report earn
ings for May thus far only 2.0 per cent,
more than last year.
The boot and shoe industry is still
the most active, The hardest problem
of the day is whether iron and steol
prices can bo maintained as they have
been during the past week. Tho nail
associations have failed thus far to win
over competitors who undersell them,
and aro ablo to manufacture 75,000 kegs
against every 100,000 by concerns in
the combination. The bar asssociation
asks for iron moro than the selling
price of steel bars. Open hearth billets
arcunoro freely sold at Pittsburgh be
low tho prico asked for Bessemer, and
middle men are still selling, Bessemer
billets about one dollar below the prico
fixed by the pool, ,
Tho textile manufacturers are halt
ing with, some cotton goods reduced
still further in prices and ginghams to
tho lowest point ever known while no
increase appears in the demand. Sales
of wool still fall below half the quan-
tity required for a full consumption and
prices have further declined.

VETOED.
The President Sends a Alcseaco to Con
gress Ulsiipprovlnc; of the General De
ficiency Dill.
Washington, June 0. The president
sent a veto message to tho house of
representatives on the general de
ficiency appropriation bill Saturday
afternoon. Ho replies briefly to the
criticisms of his exercise of the veto
power and says ho has hurried the
preparation of the message in order
that congress may take action in tho
matter without delay. The ground for
the veto is tho provision relating to
the payment of the French spoliation
claim.
In his message tho president says:
"It is difficult to understand why, un
der the constitution it should bo neces
sary to submit proposed legislation to
executive scrutiny and approval cx
copt to invoke the exercise and execu
tive judgment and invite Independent
executive action.
The unpleasant incidents which ac
company the use of the veto power
would tempt its avoidance if such a
course did not involve an abandonment
of constitutional duty and an assent
to legislation for which the execu
tive is not willing to share
the responsibility. I regret that
I am constrained to disapprove an
important appropriation bill so near
the close of the present session of con
gress. I have, however, by immediato
action after the receipt of tho, bill cn
deaored to delay as little as possible a
reconsideration of this proposed legis
lation, though I am thus obliged to
content myself with a less completo ex
planation of my objections than would
otherwise be submitted.
This bill is in many of its features far
removed from a legitimate deficiency
bill, and it contains a number of appro
priations which seem to me to be ex
ceedingly questionable.
The bill appropriates one million
twenty-seven thousand three hundred
and fourteen dollars and nine cents for
a partial pnyment upon claims, which
originated in depredations upon our
commerce by French cruisers and ves
sels during the closing years of the last
century. They have become quite
familiar to those having congressional
experience, as they have been pressed
for recognition and payment, with oc
casional intervals of repose, for nearly
one hundred years.
The Homo Sustains the Veto.
Washington, Juno 0. (Bulletin.)
Tho house, by a vote of 109 to 40 sus
tained the president's veto of tho gen
eral deficiency bill.

north and south sides of tho building
and elevate the present structure to
three stories, with the dome raised and
remodeled to correspond with the
change. This would give the building
somewhat tho appearance of tho na
tional capitol at Washington. The
