BRADsTREET"s REPORT.
New York. July 12-Bradstreot's to-
anorrow win say:
AT the close of the second week in
July the condition of trade generally
remsins practically unchanged. al
though commercial and Industrial ac-
sivity at many points continues more
conspicuous than usual at the midsum-
ner season. The prices generally con-
tinue strong. the exceptions being
among the cereals. hog products. coffee
and lead. while as significant as any
thing else are the exceptionally favor
able outlook for trade In the fall and
the encouraging promise for the wheat
and corn crops throughout the central
western and northwestern states.
AT Atlanta sales OF hardware are
larger, but those of dry goods shoes
and groceries are smaller. New Orleans
reports only a fair volume of business
less than expected. At many OF the
cities through out the west and north
western states merchandise markets
point to the dullness incident to the
first haif of July. though at all points
the outlook for the fall trade is reported
good. At Chicago the volume OF bus
mess is heavier than expected at this
time; collections are good. and the crop
market Is favorable. st. Louis. Kansas
City and Omaha all report a fair vol
ume of business, prices hardening, and
an expected favorable crop outlook. On
the Pacific coast the trade continues
favorable. The construction Of the San
