New YORK, Aug. 10.-R. &. Dunn &

business in many lines is disappointing
the feeling of confidence distinctly in
creases. The belief increases that the
country will be able to sell such vast
quantities of grain abroad and to draw SO
heavily upon foreign supplies of capital
that all home industries will be greatly
stimulated. Depression in some local in
dustries continues and is real but may be
traced to causes obviously not permanent.
Thus the iron manufacture is much set
back by inability of railroads to make
purchases, because they fail to negotiate
securities. General merchandise goods
are moving freely. The wool manufac-
ture is distinctly improving,
At western points the crop prospects
are almost everywhere mentioned as un-
