CODHTRY'S CROPS DHIFORHLY GOOD Labor Strikes Still thfi Only Disturbing ElemenL.J .. i New York, May 26. Bradstreet's Sat urday says: 1 " ' 1 ' With almost uniformly good wheat, corn, oats and cotton crop reports, im proved retail demand ransed by warmer weather, a full volume- of re-order busi ness for this season of the year, good col lections and heavy railroad earnings, the only cloud on tb situation would seem to be the continued unrest of labor and the idleness of large numbers of Indus trial workers as a result thereof. , Even here, however, ft is to be noted that, with -the single exception of the anthracite coal miners' strike, which of coarse affects demand and ..industry throughout a wide area, the disturbances are largely localized and are mostly efforts on the part of labor to get a still larger share of the conceded prosperity ruling. ' " ' The coal strike is a serious disturber, involving as it does a loss of f 1,500,000 weekly in wages to the miners and allied Industrial operatives, an advance of at feast 91 per ton la all coal prices and a sympathetic increase of asmalleramoast In bituminous, all these acting as dis turbing elements In : the domain ' manufacturing and industry generally, which naturally depends upon coal for its basic force.. With a largecontlnuanee of the strike a general changing of coal burning appliances to allow of soft coal being used must undoubtedly occur manufacturing circles, which will be of coarse a pallatise of the trouble, second only to the warmth of the weather which proclndes the necessity for coal for do mestic purposes that might exist if the strike occurred fa cold weather, - The feeling grows that the bituminous mtnsrs will not join in jthe trouble to the extent of stopping-a contingency which cannot be viewed otherwise than with great public concern, .v; ,. Business failures for the week number 152 against 190 last week and 192 in this week last year. , ..
