NEW YORK special: Dun x Co.'S re-
view will say: The new tariff if sign
ed by the President. as expected, will
provide a definite basis for business.
No supplemental legislation is thought
possible until mex year at least.
Meanwhile the serious injury to corn
and some other conditions exercise ~
restraining influence on trade. IL Is
too early too look for effects of the new
situation in the great industries. but
the gradual recovery which has appear
ed for some time is seen in the better
demand for products. Speculation IN
wool has stopped and sales were 6.O29,-
80 pounds for the week against $685.
AGO last year. Speculation i n corn is
active. with varying reports OF INJURY,
which in some states is undoubtedly
severe. Pork advanced 30 cents and
lard 30 cents per 100 pounds. with
their justification in the injury to corn.
Wheat is about ! cent lower. western
receipts being very heavy for the two
weeks past-l0. $50. lis bushels, against
$40 81 last ycar-and it is claimed
that Minnesota and the two Dakotas

second largest yield in their history.

men have been committed for trial.
