DUN's REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, n. Y, June 19.-R. G. Dun q Co.
will say tomorrow in their weekly review of trade:
Failures for the week have been 276 in the United
States, against 22S last year, and 2S in Canada,
against 81 last year there are continued signs
that gain in business has begun. Stocks have
gone higher than they we're before the artificial
break ten days ago. VIII and cotton are in bet
ter demand. There is more confidence in none
tary circles and the te ndenCy toward shrinka ge in
great industries seems III some measure at least to
be checked. While the outcome OF the Demo-
cratic Convention is uncertain and the great crops
are not yet wholly beyond danger a sure and
strong improvement could hardly be expect ed,
but he tone in business circles has grown more
hopeful. Clearinghouse exchanges Tor the past
week are ga per cent less than last years and
only 5.2 per cent less than in 1898.
The boot and shoe industry not only holds its
place as the most prosperous OF the great indus
tries out reports some gain both in orders and
prices
Textile manufactures do not gain There is
rather more hopefunesS, which is elt in the arrest
or the decline in wool; prices average no lower
than June and sales do not decrease. Mauufac.
turers await orders which clothicrs hope but
are not yet ready 10 give, and the only changes in
prices are declines OF to per cent in very
owgraue goods. The oniy change in co; tons is a
reduc tion IN bleach shirtings in standards 10 the
lowest price ever reached, thou gh the change dis
closes no new weakness but a belief that the time
has come when sales can be affected by reduction,
and large sales are now reported. Stocks OF deaf
ers are bound 10 be so low that replenishment
would now make great change in the condition
OF the industry,
The waiting in iron and steel brings slightly
iOHeI dNeIdSe III pTiCeS-IHe lowest SlnCa April L,
and only 1S per cent above the lowest OF the year.
though the combinations make change in
uoiatons Beams are quoted delivered instead
OF at the mill, but numerous contracts are kept
back. Consumption of wire nails at current prices
has so declined that y American wire rods are Of
fered at competing prices in England. Scarcely
anything is done in iron bars, because steel bars
at l. per cent take the business, and the billet
pool Is still undersod about 81 by middlemen,
while many works putting steel plants OF
their own. Plates are weak, and also sheets, and
orders for rails, though numerous are not large
