{ NEW YORK, July 18.-R. G.. Dun g.
Co.'s weekly review of trade viii say:
In all directions the business outlook is
fairly encouraging. The crop report is
much more favorable than was expected,
the great labor controversies do not
affect business unfavorably, but even
help it for the present, and there is now
small prospect of any legislation by
Congress that is likely to disturb busi-
ness in any department. Crop reports
promise results not equal to last years,
which would be disastrous, but beyond
expectations. With the decrease Of
only per cent, the wheat yield would
be far beyond the quantity consumed
and exported in any year except the last,
and nearly equal to last years consump-
tion and exports. Western receipts are
large, 100000 bushels in three days,
exports I'll 600 in the same time, but
the quantity carried over from last year
is about 1000, 900 bushels.
Corn acreage shows decrease of "A
per cent. and in condition 1T per cent,
but since July copious rains have
greatly improved the prospect, and the
price has dropped 81 cents during the
week. Oats have also declined 2 cents,
while hog products are stronger, pork
25 cents per barrel, and coffee and oil
unchanged. The cotton report shows
n anndifiny, ay,l lnIa a1k
year, and on any estimate OF acreage the
yield with the surplus still in sight will
more than meet all the demands for the
year. The price for the past week has
not changed, though sales haye been
61e.000 bales.
