DUN'S REVIEW.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-R. Ct. Dun & Co. weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 The new tariff bill, if signed by the presi- dent, as expected, provides definite basis for business. No supplemental legislation is thought possible until next year at least.
 Large improvement has been expected from a settlement, and more because of vast amount of business deferred from week % week in the hope of more definite conditions. While it is not wise to look for great "boon1,' ' there is warrant for a reasonable and prudent hopefulness. It is too early to look for effects from the new situation in the great industries, but the gradual recovery which has appeared for some time is seen in better demand for products.
 Cotton manufacturers have been carrying extraordinary stocks of goods for the couns try, and the strike threatened at New Bed-. ford will not alarm the m but the reduction' of wages seems likely to be accepted at Fall River. A smart increase inetransactions is reported, buyers and sellers having at last a common basis for judgment.
 Resumption by iron and steel works which were stopped by the strikes contin- ued to depress prices of some finished pro- ducts, but with more furnaces operating prices of pig iron are not lower. Conapari- sons given today show fall in prices rang ing from 20 to A per cent in iron and it's products since October, 1890, which suth-
 
 than third of the works. The demand for structural forms seems smaller, does not increase for railroad uses, though traffic improves, but for some other products is better.
 The boot and shoe industry leads all oth- CTS io recovery from the depression.
 Unless exports increase speedily and largely the fnancial situation may grow difficult. In July imports exceeded exports ZIP, ,537 ,914, mainly because of the heavy sugar movement. With low duties the ar- rival of merchandise to meet the long de- mand will be large, while even phenom- epaliy low prices don't take out products freely at present. In July SIP S01 .0S0 of gold went abroad to balance importation of goods, but the outgo has ceased, not be- cause exports materially enlarge. The striking feature this week is the strong in- crease in demand for commercial loans, deferred operations of all sorts being en- coursged by action at Washington. Silver is also stronger, because of the eastern de- mand, which the war in China is expected to prolong.

Since the Settlement of the Tariff
 Question
HAS CHANGED HUP LITTLE
 Some Activity Noted in Iron and Shoe3-The West
 indifferent.i@ i@

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-BradBtreet's to- morrow will say: The special telegraphic and mail advices, summarizing interviews with more than 500 leading wholesale deal- CTS and manufacturers at forty-seven cities throughout the country as to the present! effect, if any, of the prospective tariff set clement and the outlook as to the effect of the senate tariff bill, should it become a law, indicate relatively less enthusiasm at large eastern centers, except at New York and Baltimore, almost uniform satisfac- ton throughout tho southern states and similar advicas from the central and north- western states except where serious crop damage has taken place.
 In the far west little interest is mani- fested in tariff legislation, notably at Dem yer and Helena, where silver attracts more attention. Portland fears the result of the reduction of the tariff on lumber but at San Francisco an improvement ln demand is expected, and considerable freight is offering for shipment to China. A feature is found in declarations from manufacture CTS of woolen goods, glass ware, pottery and iron and steel at various center5 of production that wages will probably be rel duced .ic
 Aside from probable improvement due to- the ending of the uncertainty in business, neither Boston, Providence, Buffalo, Pbil- adelphia, Pittsburg, Newark nor Roches--. ter merchants interviewed express note- worthy enthusiasm as to the trade pros- pect.
 While no gain is reported in trade circles at southern cities several thousand coal strikers have gone back to work in the Brmiug gham district, several southern rail- ways are calling for more coal, and south ern iron works are shipping more iron. than,a year ago. fa
 It is reported at Atlanta that bardwarei jobbers based recent prices on the Wilsons bill and the prospective passage of the sen-r ate bill will make difference in profits in consequence. Little Rock expects eastern cotton manufacturers 10 buy more freely now and three leading Texas cities, in view of the excellent crop prospects in that stale. and prospectively the largest crop on rec ord, regard the business outlook very fa- vorably. The proposed change in the su- gar schedule exerts material depression ia Louisiana.
 The region west of Pennsylvania and east of the Mississippi river reports almost uniformly favorable trade conditions, with gains in demand and in industrial ac- tivity, except in Indiana and Illinois pot tery industries and among the Indiana clothing manufacturers, who report they expect to reduce wages, Money at nearly all leading financial ceuters have hardened. The demand for shipment west 10 move and carry the crops has begun to exert an arnrecia ble ipfiuence.
