 Condition of Trade.
 NEW YORK, June 23. - Bradstreets Review of the state of trade says:
 There are indications of 0 moderate improve ment in various lines and enough instances to render the fact of some significance. mo- tably favorable feature is the practical ending of the coal and coke strikes, together with those in related industries, which will put to work at once or soon, more than 2oO,OeO men. Ihc number of the employees in industrial lines stlIl on strike is estimated at about SOOOD' mere are sales by jobbeTs in staple lines Tor future delivery where nothing but hand to mouth business has been reported for weeks.
 At points tributary to Kansas City and St Louis grain harvest is under full headway. The condition of the wheat is excellent and the demand for money to move the crop marked and the supply abundant Western steel works recently started report Of dlsposl- tion by capitalists and others to push new en- terprises. Nothing indicating increased de- mand for staple goods or tendency to antici- pate wants is reported from any New England city. Compara lively large shipments of shoes from Boston are due to heavy consignments south based on cut freight rates. Shoe facto- ries at Philadelphia on the other hand, are largely idle.
 The settlement of the coal strike produces a more hopeful feeling in Pittsburgh. Baltimore merchants report the south withholding orders more than previously Eight western cities agree that better feeling prevails in business circles and that the outlook for improved fall trade has increased. This is true at Cincin- natl and Detroit, where good weather has stim- ulated sales in dry goods and other lines, and at Louisville, which reports a corresponding improvement and sales by jobbers for future delivery. St. Louis advises that seasonaole goods are in better demand and that the end of the strike has resulted in better feeling.
 Kansas City jobbers in dry goods report Q better demand, but expect little other im- proyement during harvesting. Similar ad- vices arc received from Milwaukee and St. Paul where late rains have improved the out- look and sales for later delivery have in- creased in number. The volume Of trade is larger at Duluth and the demand has improved. At Cleveland business is only fair in leading lines, although receipts of coal are increasing. The volume of business in dry goods and kindred lines at Chicago is smaller than in tho preceding week, and jobbers are preparing to take stock Distribution of merchandise from Omaha is only fairly steady, and no material gain Is expected until August.
 The Nebraska corn acreage Is said to be 30 per cent. larger than ever before, while the acreage of oats is only one-half and that of wheat only 70 per cent Of an average. Exports of wheat. flour included, both coasts, amount to only 2,ODOO05 bushels this week, against 2,24OO0 bushels last week, 3,b530OO bushels in the third week Of June. 1893, and D. 457,0O0 bushels in the like week of 1892 There were l95 failures throughout the United States this week, against 227 last week, 360 in the third week Of June, 1893 (when the financial disturbance was beginning to make itself felt with some severity, and l59 in the like week of 1892
