New York, August .f.-The past we k
has furnished evidence OF an awakening OF
the long-delayed fall trade. Special tele.
gams to Bradarssts during the past few
weeks have noted the relative moderate de-
mand for money at western trade centres.
During the past week, however, material
change has taken place, and the legitimate
commercial demand for money has made
itself felt. Reassuring kilograms point to
lhereyiyal OF the general commercial move
ment. Exceptions to this rule, while not
wanting, are in most cases governed by
special circumstances which explain the
delay Of the new movement in making it.
self felt at certain points. The dry goods
trade has experienced considerable im-
proyement at the west, and has given signs
Of change for the better at many eastern
cities, except from agents hands, wEere
the extensive auction sales in New York
lnterfered with the general distribution.
Crop reports are more favorable for
wheat and somewhat less so for 1Ldian
corn. Adyices from Minnesota as to the
probable yield Of wheat point to a crop in
excess OF that counted on prior 10 the late
lronth in the Red river valley, and which,
4 these reports are verified, will make good
he late reported shortage on the Pacitic
coast as compared with earlier estimates.
The week has affected wheat bearishly,
aud prices have on tho whole been held
iown. There hss been cold weather IN the
northwest, which, with tue late corn crop,
mas helped 10 advance prices OF that cereal.
Che quality OF this years crop oil corn Is
lot now expected to be up ~ the average,
md without mild, late fall, the earlier
and larger estimates as N yield will prob
ably have to be cot down.
IRoS.
The market at New York for American
pig iron shows no appreciable change from
last week. Dealers do not look for the ad-
vance in the fall which they expected
about six weeks ago. The business doing
IS OF q very conservative nature. 1t was
hought that by the middle OF August an
ADVANCE In the face OF the autumn demand
would be fully warranted, but 1t is now ad-
nitted that any such disposition oil prices
sould be met by no sales. Buyers contin-
10 TO purchase in 20 or 80 ton lots, and
Irices last named are still quoted. viz,
SD 423 for No. y the latter representing
pecial brands, and $40 50a20 for No. 2 A.,
tho latter on u few extra brands only. The
arrivals Of Scotch pig iron during the week
nave been the largest within like period
or some time-3,000 tons, mostly, If not
al, sold prior to arrival. The sales to arrive
nave not improved over previous weeks.
The demand is moderate, but fairly
lteady. Bar iron has gained strength dur
ny the week, owing mainly to the better
joaition in which the Pittsburgh mills lind
themselves through revival In the de-
nand reported from that city. Cincinnati
md Chicago also report q marked gain IN

md early deliveries will not be contracted
or at the inside quotations Other features
II the market remain about as last reported.
