Dun's Trade Summary.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-R. Il. Dun & Co.'s weekly
review Of trade Will tomorrow say: Changes dur

garding the tariff bill is not certainly known

trbuted to long uncertainty, which must soon ter
inmate.
other conditions II not entirely favorable, have
at least not changed for the worse during the past
week. The injury to corn is less than many ap-
pretended. but is stilI believed to have reduced
the yield about 500. 600 600 bushels The strike
OF cokeworkers and coa-minerS has ended. and
while the lockout OF cotton operatives is inpor-
tant IL affects the earnings and livelihood OF
much smaller number.
In all great industries an increase in the de-
mand Tor product has appeared There is an IN
creased demand for cotton goods but 1t IS not yet
as great as many have anticipated.
In the iron and steel manuia lures the demand
Tor finished products has increased, but is al pres.
ent not as large the capacity Of the works which
nave endeavored to resume operations. so that
their competition results In prices nearly as low
as nave been reached at any time.

will materially affect prices OF meats for the com
Ing year. Wheat has been stronger IN spite Of
such favorable prospects that yield OF 100000

week were 1854 ,22o bushels, against 2.f24,24O
bushels last year, and Atlantic exports only
l,437435 bushels, against 2,O59,427 bushels last
year.
Hog products only shade stronger. Cotton fell
a shade. mainly on account OF curtailment OF con-
sumption by the strikes but recovered. Accounts
from the south continue to promise a yield con-
sideraby larger than that of 1898.
Tho liabilities OF firms failing for the second
week of August amounted to only 81. 10, 369. and

CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-Wheat was quiet with lower
prices al the trade, mainly local. and fluctuations
were frequent and changed within Vac range.
The feeling easier, the most of the news at
hand being in the main OF a bearish character.
The market started out easy with 1sc decline at
54I8@541ac, with the trade very light there be-
ing general lack OF outside orders was one of
the bearish features The price generally receded
14613sc, rallied 14d3Sc, changed some and closed
at september at 5414c. The lower cables and
more favorable weather abroad were influences
which started the bullish sentiment, and the mar
ket was further depressed by the large arrivals In
the y Northwest, which were over double those of
last year. and said to consist OF three
quarters of new Wheat
