TREND OF TRADE.
II, q, Dun 3 Co.'s WOsEly Review OF the
business Outlook.

hu1ina8l Outlonk.
New YoRE, July Or G. Dun &
Company'H weekly review Of trade,
which issues tomorrow, will say,
The midsummer reports from all
commercial centres are OF especial in,
tereSt, covering the questions on which
tho future OF business depends. They
indicate distinctly better crop prospects
than other official or commercial Rc'
counts, q marked increase in retail dis,
tributlon OF products, an active demand
for odds aud q general enlargement OF
the working force with some advance in
the wages OF moro than half million
hands. At the came time they show
that tho rapid advance in prices has
somewhat oa6aksa the buying OF few
classes OF productL In some parts Of
the country the outlook for fall trade Ia
considered bright.
Comparison Of prices for various iron
products shows an advance ranging
from 1873 per cont since February for
wire nails to IL per cent for anthracite
pig, and in all kinds averaging % per
cent The demand and rise have como
90 suddenly that even while tho frat
order for shipments Of steel billels to
Europe, given some time ago, when
pricea were low, 10 being announced, tho
price hero has advanced from St7 IN
April to 500 %, or about 81 per cent,
Wool is stronger, both here aud
abroad, the London sales opened July 2
at higher prices and the average for lOi
qualities OF domestic woods quoted by
Coates BroS., has risen nearly halt a
cent since June 10. Sales have been
enormous though largely speculative,
but exceeding those OF May and June In
any previous year, being 25,S97 6l3 do
mestio and 97,4S7, 100 foreign, against
q, go, 400 domestic and 1860, 100 for.
eign for 1902, There ia a growing order
demand for heavy weight Wootons and
many new kinds OF light weights have
been oDened with notable Irregularities
in prices, some lower aud others higher
than last year. But tho manufacturer
Is better sustained thus far, than ex'
pected and the feeling is very hopeful,
aud especially as labor troubles have
substantially ended.
Prices of cotton goods also continue
to advance and the mills are generally
well employed.
Speculation has advanced cotton
throe.six.eenths, though the crop news
is favorable, but has depressed wheat
two cents in spite OF estimates that they
have been materially reduced since
June /. Every year the crop reports
are having less influence, and tho time
is ripe for the radical changes in gov
eminent estimates when the depart
ment propoIeR The year closes with
more than 100000 bales OF American
cotton available here and abroad, and
with at least O., 900. 900 bushels Of sur.
plus wheat, although some make the
quantity 100000 bushels larger. The
crop OF oats is certain to DO large, and
the prospects for corn have greatly i'm
proved within the last few weeks.
