A Bank Clearingi 5 Bank' clearings this week receded further, this time a little more than is customary, although payments through the banks in the second week' of August ve usually cloae to the lowest point of the year. The total this week, as reported to "Dun's Review'' for leading cities In tbe United States of $3,286,650,000 34.5 per cent, be low that for the corresponding week of last "At New York, the fig- ures this week are $5,588,000,000 and show a loss of 39.0 per whil.

Heretofore, In weekly returns have ahown gaina at a number of the leading centers in com parison with totala for the corres ponding week of 1928; while-clearings at, New York City this week an slightly Urger than they were at that time, nearly all of the other centers now show a loss. The tendency at this time ia clearly in the direction of a lower level in either of the two preceding years. Record of Week's Fcilnret Some further appear in the Insolvency record for the United States this week, following the betterment shown last week. Thus, failures reported to R.

G. Dun A Co. this week numbered 441, or 11 less than last' week's total and 27 under the 408 defaults two weeks ago. Comparing with the 368 insolvencies In this week of 1929, however, sn increase of 73 is disclosed. The decrease this week from Ust week's mortslity was wholly in the Weat, where a decline of 33 failures occurred.

Numbering 36, Canadian defaults this week compare with 39 Ust week. 37 two weeks ago and 32 in this week of 1029, according to R. G. Dun Co. Sidle Handbag, Banished The penalty for theft in Ireland is rather severe as is evidenced by the experience of woman thief.

Married People Quarrel "It is slwsys assumed by witnesses in this court that all married peoplt quarrel," laid Justice Hill In the Di vorce Court of London a short tima ago.

For tbe first time a woman was ssked to speak recently at the Harrow luncheon at the Savoy Hotel, in London. Bhe was Lady Isabel Margesson, and she made a plea for housemasters to tpesk the truth to tht parents' about the boys. sumption and the prevailing caution, Attention ia being constantly direct ed to the aharp curtailment of outputa, which is practically general, and further weakness in raw cotton haa been another-point of interest The price for the Southern staple, detpits the extent of the preceding decline, has fallen to a new low level since' last week's first Government crop report wss issued. In contrast, a fair degree of steadiness' has prevailed in other textile raw with the more stable position of wool Hide Markets Again Lower-After last week's lack of changes in lilted the decline in hide prices waa resumed this, week.

Several further concessions were named, with the general situation reflecting a weak tone, and this condition applied to both domestic and foreign marketa. In tbe case of packer stock in the West, salea and bookings, although increasing somewhat, were not up to the volume of receipts and kill of cattle. Depression at the River Plate waa cited as bearish factor at Chicago, and little tleveloped that was encouraging to holdera. Similarly, disappointing features were in the majority in the leather trade where no definite gain in business was noted and the same characteristics marked the tendency in footwear circles. In the latter quarter, price was reported to be the dominant factor, with demand centered on the lower cost grades.

Canadian Trade Although comparatively more active than In the wholesale move ment of merchandise at retail is not better than fairvIn a few lines, such ss staple groceries, sales are at a nor mal level. Nevertheless, as uncertainty with regard to the 'new crops is des-sipated gradually by each succeeding report as consumption and produc tion approach adjustment, and at some signs of industrial improvement begin to appear in the United States, the aituation with regard to business in Canada is becoming clearer, accord ing to dispatchea to Dun's Review from branch offices of R. G. Dun located in the chief commercial and industrial centers of the Do minion. i Although buying for immediate requirements features the wholesale hardware trade, the retail branch ia profiting somewhat from the warm weatber, which has stimulated sslea of camping and bathing equipment, tennis requirements, outboard motors snd electric fans.

Higher tempera- turea also are a factor in the increase in salea of summer apparel. Sales of binder twine sre about 30 per cent. in excess of last year'a and prices are 10 per cent, higher in the same com parison. Sales of wsterproof paints, cement asphalt and allied are ssid to be about half the 1929 volume. Demand for used cars continues good, snd the same is true of accessories and equipment.

Increased construction Is a factor in keeping labor well employed, not withstanding the decline in iron and ateel outpu attending the competition of some Urge orders. Msnufscturing continues below normal, sessonal busi ness in the textile mills snd clothing factories being especially affected. The automotive trade reports an improvement in sslea of medium-priced' lines and accessories. Shoe factories are extremely busy, but competition in this snd other leather manufactures is unusually keen. Orders for transportation equipment are characterised as fsir for this time of the yesr.

Steel and locomotive plants are working on limited production, and no resumption of activities on a Urge scale is looked for until well In the Fall A favorable feature of the outlook is the promising condition of crops in most Provinces. The yield hay, of good quality, is above the average, and crops are progressing -favorably; Commodity frket The much closer balances between advances and declines in Dun's list of wholesale quotations laat week1 was not repeated this week, although the record was more favorable than In many-preceding weeks. Whereas 34 of a total of 72 changes last wetk were in an upward direction, the present tabulation ahows that only 18 of the aggregate of 56 alterations were toward higher levels. With fewer increases in costs of foodstuffs, the current exnlblt reflects more plainly the underlying weskness of the price situstion. A point of particular Interest was the renewed easing ia pig iron and steel, as well ss in bides, Preceding Pat ATLANTIC CITY NEW JERSEY Excursion Jar.

this period, yet -the seasonal slackening intenaif ied Ihia year, and a new element of -has arilep from the recent widespread and serious Seldom, at one time, have so many influences combined to repress activities as in the present instance, and it is not considered unnatural, with severe crop damage as an added deterrent, that caution should be accentuated. i The existing hesitation does not imply any questioning of ultimate recovery, but modification of earlier views as to. the date of decisive revival has been, necessitated by subsequent Not infrequent turns in sentiment, especially in the highly sensitive financial markets, have been a not illogical reflection of prevailing conditions, yet the fact is not obscured that the adjustments which are fundamentally easential to eventual recuperation are proceeding steadily. Those changes, while operating now to curtail the volume of business, are making for a sounder economic foundation upon which to base a renewed advance. The unsettling feat ure of falling commodity, prices re mains an obstacle to a trade uplift.

competitive selling being increased by the disinclination in most lines to pur chase beyond actual restricted needs, and the excess of declines in Dun's list widened this week. Exceptions to the limited demanda are not lacking, but further important commitments in isolated cases, as in structural steel snd oil. snd gas pipe, are not representative of the trend in in dustry, as a whole. Generally, retrenchment Is the dominant note in buying policy, jot prospective autumn requirements are entering more largely into calculations, with August half over, and some quickening normally should come with the spproscb of another season. One of the promising portents is the reduction in stocks of different goodj which haa followed the sharp decrease in outputs, the closer alignment between production and.

consumption obviously having a signlflcsnt bearing upon tbe future. Thus, although the immediate results are disappointing, the long-range outlook has points ttl strength whose effects should be more plainly revealed with the passing of time. Stock Market Trend Downward Periods of depression in the stock market have been a not uncommon ex perience, and such a condition developed this past week. The character of the trading plainly reflected a more decided turn in sentiment to the bearish aide, and pricea moved in the direction they naturally take when there is more pressure to sell than to buy. With the renewed decline, running to considerable proportions on occa-aions, many new low quotations Jot this yesr were, recorded, and copper shares were among the Outstanding weak features.

Comment was made late in the week, especially, in connection with the un usual size of the outstanding short in-tereat, as indicated by. condition in the atock market. Judged by the volume of dellings, however, speculative opera tions continue to be msinly of professional origin, Although sales on certain days reached higher totals than in the recent past- Compared with the turn over a year ago, on the' other hand, activity was limited. Steel Output Slightly Lower Instead of the gain which previously had been anticipated in some quarters, the rate of steel output hat fallen still more. The change has been only slight, from an estimate of fifty-four per cent to one fifty-two per cent, but it baa marked an altered prospect The primary reason for the decrease, as cited in trade circles, has been tbe recent drought over much of the country and consequent damage to crops.

Not unnaturally, the conclusion was drswn that such conditions would be hurtful to steel consumption, and some Instances of diminished buying already have appeared. More than that the price structure, sfter showing some resistance, bss been weakened. Re flecting the latter phase, a composite quotation for finished steel compiled by the Iron Age touched a new low level for this, year, while a similar trend has occurred in pig iron. In both inatancea, prevailing levels are the lowest reported for a number of years. Dry Goods Buying Restricted 'Not unnaturally, the.

probable effects of recent widespread serious drought have been one of the chief topics of comment in the textile trades. Indicstlons that crop damage has chsnged tbe outlook for dry goods distribution have not been lacking) and report of greater conserve-vat ism in making forward commit ments have come from different quar ters. Large numbers of buyers have been la tbe principal markets, yet they hare been anticipating future needs less freely than was true A gn, refiw-tlng (lie restricted con The fivt-ator houae it No. Oiirer street, between Oak nd Cherry streets, Manhattan, hag been by Mrt.
