MIDSUMMER DULLNESS
Welcomed After a Rushing Season as
Amply Proving That.


n. @. Dun Co.'S weekly review says The

ls all the more natural because there are signs
Of midsummer dullness. Wheat prospects

ally lessons In midsummer. Much OF the
recent buying was to anticipate rise in
prices. aud such purchases fall off when
prices have risen. There are still numerous
advances in wages, but strikes grow more
numerous and important.
In part, because business was uneaually
large In the first half OF July, quiet tone
meets reasonable expectations. The heavy
bank failnre at Montreal does not affect fnan-
res here and is passing there with less dis
turbance than was feared Gold exports for

but the averages OF all prices Is 1 per cent

The strike OF several thousand miners In
the Marquette region may have important
consequences. Producers OF non Bessemer
ore have sold largely for the future at prices
so low that they cannot add to the cost OF
production, and other mines In the northwest
may be affected.
