What Bradsirsst's Says About General Trade
Tor the Past Six Months.

New York, July 3.--Bradstreets' to-
morrow will say: General trade in both
commercial and industrial lines Is dull
Ter. The falling off Is, in part, as
usual amid the summer dullness. Com
paratively few changes are noted, most
Of them are decreases In either price
or demand. Quotations for wheat, In
dian corn, cotton, oats, iron and. steel
are lower. Sugar has reacted after the
decline of last week; leather remains
cOnspiciously firm with shoe factories
busily employed. Petroleum and an
thracite coal are higher. The senti-
| ment of the trade at many points is
that the immediate outlook for bust
ness is not favorable. At some West
ern centers complaint is made that the
purchasing power of the agricultural
community is curtailed by the pro-
longed low prices for farm products
st. Louis jobbers report that some
Texas merchants are eountermanding
orders, owing to the effects Of the
drought There is fair demand for
grain. groceries and staple dry goods
at Minneapolis and Duluth; in fabrics
and groceries at st. Paul and Omaha.
Louisville reports better demand for
hardware, with collections improved.
Similar advices come from Baltimore,
Savannah and Charleston. These
constitute the most favorable reports
concerning the state of trade. At Chi
cago the volume of business for six
months is smaller than last year. At
New York. Philadelphia, Buffalo and
FlttSburg there are no characteristics,
except those of extreme dullness On
the Pacific coast Seattle reports it's
June business in excess of that of
year ago, and Tacoma that lumber
shipments to Africa and France con-
tinue active.
The general Industrial situation
shows no renewal of activity. The ap-
parent Improvement in wool has dis
appeared. Manufacturers refuse to
buy the raw material simply because
1t is cheap. Excessive dullness marks
dry goods, although this is the usual
period for stock taking. Cotton mill

what seems a mere trifle, blocks the

feels the effects of little constipation.
The head aches, the mouth tastes bad;
