diatoms and other minute algae, which

bility of the plan has already been
shown on a small scale. Thus far the
practice has been followed of trans

Little Business Done and Large Increase In

NEW YORK, July 3.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade which is
sues tomorrow will say:
Current movements have been so large
'ly of temporary character, or else
purely speculative, on the day by day
plan, that they are not highly instruc-
tive. Thus an extensive shutdown Of
cotton mills is solely the hope that half
production in July and August may
clear a largely over-stocked market.
Stock fluctuations were still more ephe-
neral. including two sharp declines and
partial rallies within week, both labor
iously ascribed to various political
causes, but mainly due to keen operators
who saw chances for a quick turn. The
output of iron has largely decreased,
and there is quite general stoppage of
work for repairs, but the annual con-
troversies about wages have in most
cases been settled and it is believed will
be settled in all without strikes. The
problem whether prices for coke, ore
and billets established by the combina-
tions for this year can be maintained
against decreasing demand for finished
production would be simplified if there
were no combinations in nails and rails
and some other finished products. Wheat
declined 11Ac and recovered 1Ac, but
western receipts continue remarkably
large, 2,441,719 bushels against S41,S40
last year for the same week. Atlantic
exports show a similar increase and for
five weeks, flour included, have been
9,S47,678 bushels against 5,S55,425 last
year. The stocks in sight are better
than a year ago, and though winter
wheat yields less, spring wheat seems
likely, with fair weather, to yield more
than last year. Corn promises remark
ably we'll and also oats.
