NEW YoRK. July 13.-R 6. DUN 3 Co.'S
weekly review of trade says:
The conservative feeling which prevails in
all sections and branches of business inn
presses many q . most disheartening symp-
tom. But is may, with at least equal reason,
be interpreted a. the very best ground for
confidence In healthy and solid improve
ment when the new and large crops come
forward more freely. The absencs of specu-
in haste. arc having most wholesome influ-
encs. Prices of material and products are
thus kept in such . relation that large and
fairly profitable business is possible, but will
that b maintained when 1t comes upon the
actual demands of the consumers and upon
inflated hopes? This conservative attitude
Is more necessary this year. because, while
money ID now abundant here and cheap ON
call, the possibility of disturbance abroad,
or of difficulty in obtaining needed supplies
for moving the crop in the west is not en-
tirely removed.
Wheat declined 2 cents during the past
week, notwithstanding the exports were fully
as large as year ago; but the immediate
demand OF corn has caused rise of N
cents, and oats are quoted higher. Sales
were out moderate.
Pork products are shade lower.
Reports from other cities show waiting
trade at the east, greater confidence through
out the west, and general dizziness ut the
south.
At Chicago the wheat receipts are three
times larger than last years, and there is an
increase in flour and corn, and in the dry
goods trade, and shoes exceed last wears
with good collections.
At Minneapolis trade is good for the sea-
son, the flour output being Lac, 0C0 barrels.
At Omaha and Kansas City crop prospects
improve trade, and at Denver business is
fair.
At Chicago and other points generally, the
supply OF money is ample, but throughout
fore.
The business failures throughout the coun-
try during the last seven days number 247,
compared with total of 237 last week.
