DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.
A Business Flood Surprising
For July.
FEAR ABOUT CROPS HAS PASSED.
Sensational Fluctuations In Wheat During

NEW YORK, July 13.-R. G.. Dun 81

today, says: A business food so strong
and rapid that the conservatives fear it
may do harm is out of season in July.
But the seasons this year lap over and
crowd each other. May frosts and
frights, it is now evident, kept back
much business that would naturally
have been finished before midsummer,
and the delayed accumulation of one
season gets in the way of efforts to be-
gin another on time But the volume
of business, however 1t may be meas
ured, is remarkably large for the month,
even in good year. The exaggerated
fears about crops have passed, the syndi-
cate is believed both able and deter
mined to protect the treasury and the
time draws near when the marketing
Of new crops will turn into national
balance, if speculation does not hinder.
The week has been notable for sem

days, followed ny recovery of 8 cents,
though neither accords any inteIpreta-

prices was the result of speculative
