BUSINESS OUTLOOK BRIGHT.
UNUSUAL ORDERS PLACED SINCE
SPAIN ASKED FOR PEACE.

Large Gains Appear in Textile
cOurRginE - Cotton Promises n
Heavy YieId-FinanciaI Outlook
Nearly UncIOuded - Heavy De-
mands In the Iron and Steel Trade,
Prices Advancing In Some In
stances Iron Works Crowded.
Demand for WOODEN Goods In
creasing, and That of Cotton
Goods Better.
New York, Aug. PR. G. Dunn & Co. S
Weekly Review of Trade will say to-mor-
row: Prospects of peace have had Gu
rious influence on business contracts not
quite explainable on common sense
grounds. Nobody really feared disaster, or
exhaustion of national resources, and no
body feared that anybody else was afraid
of either. Yet orders in unusual size have
been placed since Spain asked for peace.
In some industries the gains have been
large for about two weeks, while in some
textile manufactures It has only begun to
appear this week, but it involves a consid-
cradle increase in the working force.
Crop prospects are on the whole more
encouraging. the governments latest re-
port as to corn Is much larger than the
commercial estimates, and its cotton re-
turn promises a heavy yield, while allow
anee is made for its habltual error in its
wheat return.
Money markets show no sign of posi-
BILE disturbance, securities are stronger, and
there is no harmful speculation in stocks
or produces.
Rarely has the financial outlook been
more nearly unclouded. While wheat is
cents higher for the week, there Is less
doubt than a week ago that it will rule
lower during the coming year. The gem
eral holding back of grain by farmers and
consequent heavy shrinlSage in Western
receipts have reduced the visible supply
below all past records, but everybody UNI
derstands that at this date many times

no regulation price, but the Judge upon
being asked what his charges are, tells
the groom that sit is usually in propor-
ton to his love for his bride, and" adds
the willy judge, Il always make a point
of letting the bride know the size of the
fee;' in this way he usually secures a
good one. With all the clever judges

The judge has a way of keeping Sc
cret the marriages of those who do not
care to have them made public-of course
an additional fee is charged for this

One Of the most Interesting ceremonies
of his life was doubtless the one of which
he talks less, the one he performed over
a year ago, the groom being a young
professional man of this city and the
bride being his exceedingly pretty type

very near leaking out and the dramatis

on an average forty-five or fifty couples

at Pittsburg from $3.50 TO $1525,. which
was at last refused. Bessemer pig Is
steady and other pig there and at Eastern
and Western markets generally, but rails
nave been advanced by Eastern makers to
%S per ton; the makers of structural
beams have advanced the price 81 per
ton and makers of merchant pipe have adj
vanced the price 8 per cent, while plate
makers are crowded to the point of refus-
ing orders, both East and West, and bars
are stronger, with many mills engaged
for weeks ahead. Illustrating the demand
are reports of orders for $1,000 car axles
at Chicago, 10000 tons structural work
there, and big orders at Philadelphia for
cast pipe, and 5000 tons elsewhere.
Eastern works now appear to be
crowded to their utmost capacity, as the
Western have been for some weeks. In
the minor metals there Is heavy buying.
Textiles works have been sleeping, but
are awakening. The demand for wooden
goods is now much better, although not
yet extensive enough to warrant paying
the prices asked for new wool, and nearly
all Of the buying has been Of old stock.

markets have been only 5,432,70O pounds

pounds.
THE demand for cotton goods is ht-
tie better as TO staples and fairly good
