Boot and Shoe Producers Aro Doing a Shade Better in Prices. Output of Iron I.nrgely Decrrnapil West ern Ilrceljitn of Wheat Continues Ke mnrknlily I-nrge Corn nrnl Oats I'romlso Well Cotton Needs Kaln. Kmv York, July 4. It. G. Dun & Co. says Saturday in their weekly rc-'iew of trade: . Complete failure returns for the sec ond quarter of l&Oll. April 1-Juno 30 Inclusive, cover 2,095 in the United States against 2.S55 in the baine quar ter of last year. Failures for the celt have been 257 in the United States against 195 lat year and 22 in Canada against 24 lust year. Current movements have been bo largely of a temporary character or else purely speculative on the day by day plan that they are not high ly instructive. Thus an extensive shut down of cotton mills is solely in the hope that half production in July and August may clear a largely overstocked market Stock fluctuations wero still more emphemcral, including two sharp de clines and partial rallies within a week, botli laboriously ascribed to various political causes, but mainly due to keen opeiators who saw chances for a quick turn. Extended reviews of the half year's operations in leading branches of man ufactures go far to explain numerous stoppages In woolens they aro with out concert. Mills are waiting for or ders, the sales of wool having been not a third of -last year's for the week. Prices are depressed but still de pend on foreign possibilities. In cotton goods the closing of many mills, both north and south, for half of July and August, is in ef fect a recognition of the fact that heavy stocks of goods, manufactured from cotton, costing between 7J and b cents could not be expected to show profits if the inills go on manu facturing until a new and probably heavy crop of cotton is ready. The re duction of prices has brought out a large demand in many cases, but not enough to meet the output of the mills. Having begun by reducing piices to the lowest ever known, boot and shoe producers are doing a shade better in prices with leather it little cheaper on tho whole though hides have mounted to about the level of January 1. The output of iron has largely de creased and there is a quite general stoppage of works for repairs, but the annual J controversies about wages nave in most cases been settled and it is believed w ill be settled in all w ithout strikes. The problem whether prices for coke, ore and billets, established by the combinations formed this year can be maintained against decreasing demand for finished products, would be simplified if there were not combin ations in nails and rails and other fin ished products. Wheat declined yxa and recovcied lie, but western receipts- continue re markably large. The stocks in sight are greater than a year ago and though winter wheat yields less spring wheat seems likelv, with fair weather, to yield more than last year. Corn prom ises remarkably well and also oats. Cotton greatly needs rain in parts of Texas, but better reports come from most of the other sections and a largo increase in acreage is generally re ported. RESCUERS' WORK. Good Progress Mndo at the Twin Shaft, I'lttston, ru. No Hope That Any of the Kntombed miners Are Alive. WiutrcMiAimn, Pa., July 4. There was another quiet day passed at the Twin shaft in Pittston. Tho rescuers were busy all day carefully timbering as they went along, and better progress has been made than on any previous day. They are now down the slope a dis tance of nearly four hundred feet and have penetrated the rock for adistance of nearly thirty-five feet. If this can be continued without interruption dy namite will not be used. Other than this there are no new developments. There is hardly any reason to be lieve now that any of tho entombed men are alive. When their bodies will be reached can not be foretold. The officials on learning that GowIIastings had ordered tho inspectors to investi gate the disaster, say they aro very glad he has taken such a step. They feel satisfied that every precaution had been taken by them heretofore against such- a calamity, and that they would in no way be censured. They have of fered to give the governor all tho as s'stance necessary. YOUNG IDEAS. Nenrlj 10,000,000 of Them Learning How y to bhoot In America. Wasiiixqton, July 4.
