As Niewed Inv Dun.

New York, June 29.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review of trade will say tomor-
row:
ended at most points, but another threat
ems to interrupt business more seriously
for a time although the number of hands
engaged is comparatively small. Travel
traffic are well nigh arrested on about
twenty western roads already and strikes
are threatened on all roads which use Pull
man cars. ON the whole, other changes
during the week have been for the better.
Many manufacturing establishments
hich were stopped by want OF fuel have
resumed. The depletion of the treasury
reserve has been checked by the volun-
tary deposits made by New York banks.
exports Of gold have almost ceased. Con-
sress has made much progress toward the
hnal disposition of the tariff question.
Crop prospects grow better as the harvest
draws nearer.
mills has nae good progress, but the de-
nand for pr fucts is, as yet, smaller and
less urgent than was expected. Buyers ap-
parently wait for lower prices OF iron and
steel products, which manufacturers are
slow to give in view of the increased cost
Of materials and production; After sus-
pension of half of the working force for
more than a month, it was expected that
orders for products would be very large
but instead there is a little complaint
dullness and narrow demand, and prices
of Bessemer pig and some finished forms
are a little weaker.
Although the. working force has evident
Nv increased several establishments have
stopped from want of orders or because
no settlement regarding wages for the
coming year has yet been reached.
Textile manufacturers are embarrassed
by the near approach of probable change
in the tariff, the effect OF which cannot
vet be calculated. In spite of this reason
for deferring orders and purchasers, the
number Of mills quitting work is not vet
as many as expected, for there appears
little more demand from clothiers and
iobbers. The cleaning up process has
been accelerated with success bE conces-
sions in some common goods, but al or
ders are still limited. and the accun1ula-
ton of goods continues. Somewhat better
priced all-Wool goods and in clay dag
ol.als md Worsted cheViots, though not
large IL amount give hope of larger
trade. But the mills are buying cautious

ers Of -gool demand higher prices than can
now be paid, but receipts from the interior
