DUN & CO.'S WEEKLY REVIEW.
The Past Week q Fairly Prosperous One
Money Plenty and Prices q Shade Better.

q
Money Plenty and Prices a Shade Better.
NEW YORK, July OR. G. Dun g. Co.'s
weekly review of trade says: The bust
ness outlook has been, on the whole, i'm
proved during the week, but on Thursday
the assignment of an important dry goods
commi ssion house. with liabilities of over
$4,000, 600, occasioned some dsquietude.
But the general tenor of advices is encour-
aging. Crop reports improve, and with the
probability of large foreign demand the
apprehended financial difficulties do not
yet arrive. The great industries seem to
be getting q stronger position, and the rail-
way situation is, at least. no worse.
All the cities except nine report
larger bank clearings than a year ago.
Latest accounts indicate a decided
improvement In the wheat prospects
in Dakota and Minnesota. the yield
against 60, OO0, 900 last year The foreign re-
ports are eminently two-faced, but appear
on the whole to promise larger demand
than last year. New wheat Is moving free
" and beginning to affect foreign ex-
changes, and in confirmation of past esti-
mates old wheat in large quantities contin-
mes to come forward from Northwestern
farms, where spectators have represented
the supply az exhausted. The price of
wheat has advanced only a quarter of a
cent; corn and oats, asc each, and hog
products have declined fraction. Cotton
reports are, on the whole, favorable. Sugar
has declined a quarter. Famine is immi-
nent. The consumption has been sharply
reduced by high prices. Oil has risen zoe
per barrel for refined, and 5Ssc for
crude. The general average of prices is
shade hi CHER than week ago. There seems
to be real and steady improvement in the
condition Of the great branches of indus
try.
The demand for iron has so far increased
as to cause general stiffening of prices
of a cent higher. rails are firm at SIS, and
nails stronger. The business in structural
and sheet-iron is very satisfactory. but the
demand for plate is q shade less urgent.
The official reports show that the produc-
ton of pig. 3,667. 767 gross tons, was the
largest in any half year in the country's
history, and while stocks increased about
100000 tons, the consumption was but
O.OOO tons less than in the last half of
1885 l31 900 less of Northern iron. appar-
emily, and 81 900 tons more of Southern iron.
But production has been in excess of the
demand.
The signs of improvement in the wooden
business are less clear. but manufacturers
have been buying more freely, and there
has been some increase in the orders for
goods. The confidence in large fall trade
IS undiminished. There is a feeling that
the force of foreign competition will be
less felt hereafter. The harvest season for
boots and shoes has commenced we'll The

fully accomplished; and while 1t cannot
be said that the student of economic and
Industrial problems Is much the gainer
thereby, yet 1t Is not to be disputed that the
practical, everyday literature of work and
wages Is enriched and amplified by the
discussion which the trip has evoked. The
description of sights and impressions given

league, are exceedingly interesting, and
usefully suggestive. For instance, when

DR., b. T. Coppedge of Verona, Mo, says
he has sold large quantity of Swift's
Specific, and to great many customers,
and knows 1t to be most successfully used
for maladies of the blood.
Swift's Specific Is not one of the old
potash, sarsaparilla, or mercury mixtures.
1t contains no potash, no mercury, or any
poisonous substance. 1t relieves the system
by forcing the impurities out through the
pores of the skin, and builds up the patient
from the first dose.
We sell great quantities of 8. s. s., and
the sale holds up well-no falling of or
prospect of falling off. While many are
loud In its praises, not one complaint has
been heard from our customers.

And seldom but sheer nonsense
Yet he gives II with scrupulous care
And asks no recompense.
IL you happen to be real busy
With an urging, important matter;
II present he will make you dizzy
With his endless, senseless clatter.
II you say you are In a hurry,
And haven't minute to spare,
He'll remark" o, don't worry"
And then he will take a chair.
And perhaps for minute and half,
He never will say word;
Then bursting into laugh,
Will inquire If you have heard
or the latest joke they tell.
Aud you do not utter word,
But you wish he was in-Chicago,
Among the common herd!
