DUN'S REVIEW

NEW YORK, July 2T-R. q. Dun & Co. IS
Weekly Review of Trade, which issues
tomorrow, will say: The heavy outgo Of
gold, the fall OF the treasury reserve and
Of the price OF wheat TO the lowest point
on record, and the increasing anxiety
about the tariff, have entirely over
Swallowed other industries. Business de
layed for months by two great strikes now
crowds the railroads and swells returns
and give the impression of a revival IN
business. But IL Is not yet clear how far
there is an increase in traffic distin guished
from that which has merely been blocked
or deferred. In several branches there has
been more activity, but IA others less, be-
cause events early this week led many 10
infer that no change OF tariff would be
made. The internal revenue receipts on
whisky suddenly dropped more than half
and sales of wool greatly increased, but
the uncertainty Is not removed aud much
of the business done seems to be in the
nature OF Insurance against posi- bllitles.
" heat has found in the lowest depths a
deeper level still and has sold below %
cents, making che monthly average at
New York the lowest ever known. West
EN- receipts have been 5,455, S14 against
3, rs, 291 bushels last year, III part because
Of delayed shipments, but the movement
from the farms has been heavy, while At
lanuc exports have been only 1,51l. 604
bushels against 2057, $50 last year. Corn
was stronger, with accounts of injury to
part of the crop and the exports are TIL
fling. Cotton declined l-l6, to cents,
though receipts from plantations Were
small Official reports count for nothing
in comparison with enormous visible
stocks. Textile industries have been per-
ceptibly stimulated. according to dealers,
by disagreements which many suppose
may prevent change of the tariff. and there
has been more buying OF cotton goods.
In woolens. the clothing goods famine
which clothiers prepared for themselves
by delaying orders, is such that impera-
tive necessities now keep most of the mills
at work, and purchases Of wool for immed-
late use are large. But there is no change
for the better AS respects orders running
into the future and indeed some concerns
have withdrawn spring samples on which
very low prices had been fixed and will
make no effort for trade at present. Sales
of wool have been greatly swelled by spec
uia ion in the belief that wool is not likely
to decline in any event aud will advance
sharply If tariff changes fail.
For the week, failures have been 249 in
the United States against 36S last year.
