Business Better.

Business Better.
New York, July or c. Dun q
Co.'S weekly review says:
The weather has been extremely ia
vorable for growing crops, excepting
in limited districts, where damage has
been done by violent storms, and the
crop outlook is, on the whole, decid-
eddy improving. Money has been
abundant and cheap, and collections
generally good for the season, and
there are no signs Of threatening dis
turbances. In Woolens there is bet
ter demand and more activity is seen
in purchases, while the cotton mills
continue to do we'll Boot and shoe
shops are running full of business, and
shipments exceed last years every
week.
Business in Boston is active. The
demand for leather is steady, manu-
facturers buying freely. Wool is firm
and prospects Of better prices.
At Baltimore hot weather retards
trade. At Pittsburg products of iron
is active, but coal is dull. Dry goods
have improved at Cincinnati. Trade
and collections are better than year
ago at Chicago, in spite Of the hot
weather,
Receipts of wheat, corn and cheese
fall a third, and Of rye and dressed
beef half below last years, but some
increase is seen in WOOL butter and
hogs, a gain of quarter in flour, a
third in cured meats, while receipts Of
oats and lard are double, and of bare
~ eight times last years. Little i'm
provement is seen at Memphis or Lit
tie Rock, and trade is dull at New Or
leans, though prospects are better
there and at Savannah,
Speculation has been affected by
the prospects that the Hatch anti-op-
ton bill will fail, and while cotton has
advanced u quarter with enormous
sales of 10000 bales, and lard and
coffee are higher and corn SAC,
higher for early delivery, the supply
being scarce, wheat has fallen 3 SAC,
with sales of only 100000 bushels,
and oats 1-2c. Western receipts OF
wheat are heavy,
Receipts Of cotton are light and eX-
ports slightly more than last year, but
sales Of phantom stocks exceed sales OF
tangible and visible cotton about so to
I. The syndicate is said to have sold
out all its old copper and the price is
strong at II 1-2c to 12c, but lead is
week. with some sales at 4c and tin
with quotations at 20.45c, Sales OF
coal are not discoverable.
Money has been extremely easy at
l-2 per cent, and from nearly all
points comes reports that the markets
are well supplied. The Treasury is
gradually strengthened itself, as is
needful. American buyers Of stocks
are encouraged by improved crop
prospects.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the
last seven days number ninety-three
as compared with 1877 last week. For
the corresponding week Of last year
the figures were 2l7.
