The Feature OF Business for the Past Week
Outlook Favorable.
NEW YORK, juno 21-Bradstree.'s says:
The feature Of the business week is the
customary check to activity in trading in
staple articles of merchandise due to the
near approach Of midsummer, with tho
accompanying stock-taking in some
lines. In addition to this the only other
not pointing to improvement is the re-
action Of prices of cotton, coal, wheat,
-four, corn, oats, pork and lard from pre-
vious activity and high levels. In almost
all other directions reports on the bust.
ness situation and the outlook are excep-
tionnlly favorable.
The MOI Q active Pacific coast cities are
almost alone in presenting distinct feat.
ures of trade each week. San Francisco
reports that hot winds have admittedly
affected the California wheat crop. which
now will not be likely to exceed 81 900, Oyo
bushels. Fall trade prospects ut Port
land, Or, are bright. Tacoma announces
exports OF -four, cotton and machinery To
the Orient and lumber to South Afric,.
while Seattle has sent largo amount of
silver money to Mediterranean ports.
There have been TO special changes in
the condition Of general trade az western
and northwestern cities. but the volume
Uf business and general feeling at Mil.
waukec and at Duluth indicate improve
ment. In the southern states business
continues at about mid summer proper

groceries Mt Chattanooga and Atlanta, u

While most of the delegates were Sec

after adjournment of tho convention,
there was u joint meeting OF the officers
of the state leagues with the committee
on league work and the executive com
mittec. Judge John L. Webster, the Ne
braska vice president. presided in the
absence of General McAlpin, and the
states were called for reports. Church
ill, of Colorado. said the convention had
not the courage to express any opinion
on npything. and 1t would be difficult to
outline plans for organization.
Green, president of the Now York
league, said the convention had resolved
itself into n noncntity. He insisted on
the meeting hearing Professor George G..
Gunton, of New York, who had been in
vised here to address the organizers and
officers on plans and principles. In this
meeting, as in the convention, Pennsyl-
vania opposed New York. Although 1t
