Market Summary.

New York, July 2S.-Dun x Co. s
weekly report says the heavy outgo of
gold, the fall Of the treasury reserve
and the price Of wheat to tie lowest
point on record, and the increasing
uncertainty about the tariff have en-
ttrely oyershadowed the industries.
Business delayed for months by two
great strikes now crowds the railroads
and swells the returns and gives the
impression of revival in business In
some branches there is more activity,
but in others there is less because the
events early this week led many to in
fer that a change of tariff would be
made. The internal revenue receipts
ON whisky suddenly dropped more than
half, and sales of wool have greatly
increased. But the uncertainty is not
removed and much Of the business
done seems in the nature of insurance
against possibility. Western receipts
of wheat were 5,455,S74 bushels
against 1922 last year, while the
Atlantic exports were only 1.5l1.604
bushels against 2,0J7,050 last year.
Corn is stronger from accounts Of in
jury to part of the crop and exporIs
are trifing. Cotton declined q six
teenth, though receipts are small.
Textile industries are perceptibly
stimulated, according to dealers, by
the disagreements which many sup
pose may prevent change of tariff
and there has been more buying of
cotton goods with slightly higher
prices for a few, Notwithstanding the
closing of some important mills. In
woolens, the goods famine now keeps
most mills at work and purchases of
wool for immediate use are large, and
change for the better as respects or
ders running into the future. The sales
of wool are greatly swelled by specu-
lation in the belief that wool is not
likely to decline in any event, but
may advance sharply if the tariff
changes fail. Sales for the week wer,
9,014,O00 against 2164, 900 last year.
While Il scarcity of coke delays the
resumption of work in many central
and western iron mills, the light in
quiry for finished products at Chicago.
and a disappointing demand at Pitts
burg, raises the doubt whether mate
rial increase can be expected until the
tariff question is out or the way The
demand for sheets is better at Chicago
and there are numerous small orders
for structural work at Pittsburg, with
rather better demand for bars, but
nothing like the expected rush.
The failures for the week were 24S
in United States against $50 last year
and 80 in Canada against % last year.
