DUNS REVIEW OF TRADE.

New York, June Pr. G. Dun e
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
There is no step backward in bust
ness, although the session of mid
summer quiet is near. Improvement
continues gradual and prudently eau
tious as before, although in many
branches evident where no signs of
it appeared few weeks ago.
The main factor at this time is the
steadily Frightening prospects for
crops. Harvesting of wheat has al
ready begun in some winter wheat
States, with surprisingly good results
in the central region of California;
spring wheat is doing remarkably well
with a practically unknown increase
of acreage. The price has advanced
~ cents during the week.
Iron and steel products average a
small fraction lower in published quo
ldllOuo. Dul OHly DCNduSt pi ilNdNV NpA
cessions which are now refused were
by various authorities comDlacently
concealed two weeks ago. Pig iron is
firmer with a better demand at the east
and at Chicago, but the impatience of
valley furnaces to resume work keeps
Bessemer and Grey forge at last weeks
quotations at Pittsburg. The best of
the news is material increase in orders
for plates in part for ship building. in
bars for agricultural implement works,
in structural shapes for buildings and
bridges and in galvanized sheets.
There is encouraging increase in the
demand for all textile goods, even for
cottons. which have so long been slow,
and though it is but moderate. there is
nothing of a speculative character in
transactions and prices are firmly held.
Failures for the week have been PIG
in the United States against 217 last
year, and "a in Canada against "a last
year.
