DUN'S REVIEW.
Distinct Improvement i'm Trade
and PrOSnecfS

New YORK, July 22.-Duns weekly review
of trade says there is distinct improvement
not only i'll transactions il comparison with
the same time last year, but also III pros
poets, for the spring wheats are remarkably
good. and returns from many of the states
surpasS all expectation. Wheat has risen PA
cents in spite of Western receipts amounting
to . 1885, 0OU bushels in three days, against ex
ports of 9,S,999 bushels. Oats also rose 1
cent. and pork products shade, and corn
has advanced ~ cents. In coffee there was
a slight advance. and in Oil fractional de-
cline. In the cotton market decline of
sixteenth occurred, with sales of $4,000 bales
in week.
Business in dry goods at Boston is active,
with liberal Western orders. Cotton mills
are actively employed, and orders will keep
the wooden mills crowded for some time TO
come, while the boot and Shoemakers are
full, the rubber works are busy. leather firm
and wool freely bought 10y manufacturers,
sales reaching 5,40r, Oc0 pounds for the week
At Philadelphia trade III most lines is fair,
but more firm in manufactured iron, while
wool sales are large ana the grocery trade is
excellent for the season. Manufactured iron
is sttfened at Pittsburg by the closing of
many mills, ana the mills at Cleveland are
pushed beyond their capacity. with some adj
vance in structural iron. Trade there is
better than last year.
The clothing trade at Cincinnati increases
and the trade in shoes is improving. All
leading lines of trade exceed last wears al
tons are very healthy. Receipts of wheat
and corn fall short this week. but the usual
large Increase appears in cured meats. hogs
and cattle. with receipts of flour double, of
oats three times and of barley and rye four
times last years. About Milwaukee trade is
satisfactory. eeA3as
From Minnesota reports indicate repeti-
ton OF last years great crops; at ST. Paul
trade is quiet. and at Duluth the tone OF the
lumber bLilding materials was never more
satisfactory. AT ST. Louis trade is firm.
Kansas City and trade fairly good. At
Omaha general trade is excellent. At Den
YER trade is very good and at Louisville fair.
but at other Southern points dizziness APP
pears Rain is reported to have slightly af-
fected cotton. Considerable improvement is
seen at New Orleans though sugar is strong
and rice firm.
Southern sales depress prices of pig iron.
but bar plates and structural iron are very
active and firm. Copper is weak with large
sales at 11A cents;- tin is lower at
further advance i'll anthracite coal is pro-
posed, but most coal has sold at So at Phila-
delphia. The stock market has been little
affected by the vote of Burlington d Quincy
to withdraw from the Western Traffic asso-
citation, the fine crop prospects and the COM
ing adjournment of congress giving strong
operators a basis for successful campaign
against the shorts. Money is unusually
plenty. Merchandise exports i'll three weeks
were only l2 per cent larger than last year,
while in imports large increase appears.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days num-
Der ISL, as compared with iJU last week. For
the corresponding week of last year the fail
ureS were 2o4.
