FINANCE AND TRADE.
AGreat improvement in the Grow
ing Crops Noted.
HIGHLY SATISFACTORY RESULTS

The Yield May Closely Approximate
the Unprecedented Crop OF 1894,
and the Result Is Boom for Gen.
eraI Trade, Though Iron Is Some
what Depressed.
New York, June 25.-R. q. Dun q
Co.'S weekly review OF trade sage:
Another week has blessed the country
with great improvement in the grow.
ing crops In wheat 80 great change
Of condition appears that men begin te
question whether the yield this year
will not closely approximate the un-
precedented crop of 1891. For other
grain and for cotton the outlook b de-
cidedly better, and there is reason now
to hope for highly satisfactory results
from the years agriculture. In conse-
quence there is stronger trade throughout
the country and especially at western CEN
center of distribution. The improvement
is less marked at the south, owing 10
the very low price Of cotton and coHtin-
ued high water in some regions. The
one point Of anxiety in regard to the
Wakb uthpuJt III LflC hOu An8hhaASSoAS
operates for the present TO cause in
creased trade, while in other great in
dustries the situation is clearly more
favorable than usual.
Uneasiness i'm the Iron Trade.
The iron manufacturers desire re-
vision Of wages on the ground that i'm
proved machinery has eAabled labor to
produce SO per cent. more than in for
mer years, and has reduced prices 30 far
that the two cent basis il no longer just.
There IL little mole ground for hope
that prolonged strike may be avoided,
and meanwhile the demand for all forms
Of manufactured iron and steel distinctly
improves There is a better demand for
plates and for structural iron, prices be-
ing firmer, and some gain in bar iron
and even in steel rails. Pig iron Is stin
weak and feverish, southern supplies be-
ing large, but northern makers wait TO
see whether a strike is coming before
reducing prices. Cotton is an eighth
lower, and large sales are reported at
liz. Tin has also taken n sudden fan 10
2l4 cents, and lead is lower at 4.O5 in
some transactions. Coal Is dull, and
outsiders are selling below the combi-
nation prices.
