The Duisness Of ths. Week ~ Reported by
Dun's Review. rl
Business il still waiting for the de-
yelopnont OF retail trade. There lisa
little better demand In some Industries,
but not 20 good Ia others. Wholesale
dealers IN nearly al branches are halt
ing because retail business does not yet
show distinctly what Il IL to be. Lewnr
prices Tor the great farm staples. and
lower wages In some establishments,
and uncertainty also have some retard-
Ing influence. Meanwhile large imports
and small exports Of merchandise, with
inadequate employment for money
hero. are raising the rates Of loreiLn OK
change 20 that possibilities Of gold ak
ports somewhat affect the stock market.
The hating attitude for tho moment 10
disturbing to those who hays looked for
continued gain, though rightly con-
sidered It il the natural consequences Of
conditions which were to be expected at
this season.
The government crop reports are not
greatly trusted, aud yet have an inhu-
encc, aud actually exaggregated The
tendency toward lower prices because
they are supposed to put all the crops
too low. Men calmly reckon that, ifthe
government report indicates over 400 mil.
lion bushels OF wheat, the crop muat DO
over 800 million bushels, and though
Western receipts for the week have been
only 100000 bushels against 0,33b, 500
last year, and Atlantic exports only 6i7,-
pa bushels against 0OO, 5Cl last year, the
price Is slightly lower. Corn has been
stronger, Tor receipts. Al lar''y guar
ter and exports barely an eig.sh Of last
Yeas, and men question whether the
actual yield, II above the government
estimate, may not prove lower than has
been supposed. Tho cotton returns are
more confusing, but all point to a yield
20 fan above that indicated by govern
ment that Ia statement has been fol-
lowed by a further decline, for the week
one-quartor. The receipts thus far
hardly encourage extremely large esti-
mates, aud yet Il Is To be considered
. that the crop was later than usual.
Reports from the different cities show,
