The business Outlook.

NEW York, Aug. Or G. Dun s.
Co. 5 weekly review Of trade says that
less favorable crop prospects. closer
money markets and further delay in ac-
tion ON the tariff bill in the Senate have
increased tho uncertainty which retards
business. In spite of sharp advance
in wheat corn, oats, oil and coffee. the
general average of prices for commoii-
ties is a shade lower than week ago.
The outlook depends largely upon the
extent Of injury to crops, the action Of
Congress regarding duties and the
foreign complications which affect the
demand for gold.
