NEW YORK, July 81 R G. Dun q
Co.'S weekly review of trade:
This week the country has with
stood surprisingly well the extra
ordinary strain. The failure of many
banks and firms have come despite the
relaxation in Eastern and in some
Southern and Western money markets.
The Denver banks were overthrown
largely by the crazy wisdom of the
(people, but in most cities statements
show that the banks are in good con-
dition, and there is since noticed more
readiness to extend accommodation.
Under all conditions it is astonishing
that business has been so well main
tanned with so little evidence of I'M
soundness.
Even while cotton and wooden mills
were working overtime on past orders
the scantiness of new orders was no
ticed and the great frequency of can
celations. A close observer also saw
evidence of decreasing distribution to
consumers, so dealers are left with part
of their stocks unsold and wholesale
dealers have found less encouragement
to buy.
In dry goods cancellations are still
many aud orders small. Some inn
provement is seen in dress goods.
Sales of wool are remarkably small.
Stagnation in iron closed some mines.
Coke is down. pig iron inactive, and
though dealings i'll bar and structural
products are somewhat larger, prices
are lower, and 10 cents is reported for
