CORN THE FEATURE.
Certainty That the Crop This
Year VIII Be Enormous.
AND PRICES HAVE sTfADIED
The business Outlook Is for Healthy
Trade. Iron and Steel Being
NJ the Top.

New York, Sept. 6--R. G. Dun q Co.'S
Weekly Review OF Trade says:
There is no real reaction In business
The gains. which were recognized as
temporary. are vanishing, but there re-
mains u decided Increase over last year.
although prices average S.S per cent
lower than a year ago. II needs no
keen observer to see that the reaction
against the rapid advance of prices Is
strong. Hides were the first to rise.
but decided break has come. Coke
was suddenly raised to $40. but has
recently sold at $1.10. Wheat jumped
over 20 cents to 81. but Ia now slow OF
sale above IS cents. Wool was late In
rising. but has lost about hc In aver
age price within the past fortnight.
Iron still rises. the strike having him
iered shipments of ore. but with troops
guarding. the ore begins to move. Cot
ton Ia strong, but has paused.
The general tendency to curtail prices
where the prices have notably advanc-
ed grows clearer in boots and shoes. In
wool and In some products of Iron. The
combinations have again advanced
prices OF bar iron - per ton. and of
wire nails 20 cents per keg. while Bess-
and eastern manufacture from import
ed ore has again commenced to supply
western consumers.
Consumption already hesltates and
railroads have not much expanded their
demand for rails.
Copper is also a turn weaker. Tin,
with 26.ss0 tons invisible stock. domestic
and foreign, and lead with sales OF
1900 tons domestic. are lower.
In the boot and shoe industry. many
shops are discharging hands. and In
wooien manufactures the few works
are closing for want OF orders. The
sales of wool. which averaged over 10.
100000 pounds per week when great
speculative stocks were being taken,
have shrunk to $50. 500 for the week,
against 1851. 800 for the same week in
1892.
The brightest future In all the hori-
zon IL the certainty that the crop OF
corn will be enormous The latest re-
ports OF wheat threshing induced the
best western judges to raise their esti-
mate OF the yield over 400o0.0 900 bushels
and at 45o. .00o. 600 bushels added to TO-.
10000 bushels brought over. the supply
viii exceed all probable demands.
Failures for the week were 1856
against 236 last year.
