TRADE REVIEW.
No Marked Improvement Is Shown In
Commercial Circles.

No Marked Improvement Is Shown In
Commercial Circles.
New York, June 13.-R. j. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
Speculative reaction has rot the least
changed the business outlook. The fc-
titious price made for wheat and cotton
meant no good except for individuals and
the change to prices more nearly in accord
with actual relations of demand and supply
only conforms to conditions which have
been well known for months. The govern
ment report as to wheat indicated a much
smaller yield than anybody rally expects,
but that has become 30 much the rule that
the report had no real influence and the
principal effect was the serious deprecia-
ton caused by large sales in anticipation
Of the report, which seemed to be thorough
ly known in advance to some SPECTATORS.
The government estimate as to cotton was
unexpectedly favorable, and has caused a
decline of more than half cent in sim
gle weak. Railroad earnings for the first
week In June were Al per cent larger than
last year.
1T is not the time to look for marked
Improvement in industries and the best
thing that can be said of them is that none
have as yet been seriously disturbed by
threatened labor difficulties 1t seems not
improbable that all such difficulties may
be averted, except perhaps the controversy
about wages of iron puddlers and tin plate
workers
THE demand for boots and shoes seems
slightly better Notwithstanding an advance
OF 2R cents per pair is demanded on some
staple qualities. The textile manufacture
ers are making no Improvement The ac-
cumulation Of cotton goods continues.
Print cloths have declined to the lowest
point ever reached and a general stop
page to relieve the market is expected.
Failures for the week have been 24e in

Bradstreet's says:
There is little or no effort 20 push bust
ness at periC Of 50 much uncertainty as
to the precise terms Of the financial planks
to be adopted by the great political parties
in national convention. The general mer-
chandise movement continues as dull and
conservative as heretofore, retailers, with
few exceptions. buying only for immediate
necessities. Mercantile collections con-
tinue slow and unsatisfactory, and there
Is no gain In the cotton. wooden goods. iron
or steel industries.
mo improvement Is reported from Chi
cago, as compared with the unsatisfactory
records of recent weeks. Improvement in
demand for staples at st. Louis is among
dealers in paints and drugs Kansas City
and Omaha report relatively the best de-
mand among western jobbing centers not
only among wholesalers of dry goods, but
shoes and hats, and agricultural imple-
ments. Reports from southern distribut-
ing centers announce an almost uniformly
quiet trade"
