NEW YORK, July 1.-Bradstreet's to-mor-
row will say: In period as usual devoted
largely to stock taking and with holiday and
midsummer influences making for a mar
row and restricted trade. there is little that
is novel to be found regarding current dis
tributon The first half of the year closes
with a very satisfactory showing possible IN
many lines of trade, evidenced by the
bank cearings, railroad earnings, reports
as TO consumptive and distributive de-
mands, and last. but not least. by that in
fallible barometer of the mercantile world,
business failures Harbingers of the future
are found in the generally favorable crop
prospects. not only of cereals. but of cot
ton, fruits and most products of agriculture
and a continued heavy foreign demand for
american products. Few important events
are chronicled this week in the business
world. The semi-annual shut down of many
industrial concerns, particularly those in
iron and steel and glass and some textile
manufacturing concerns, has been an
nounced TO occur in the first week in July
but this has been without much effect upon
the prices of those staples. Advices from
the West indeed lead to the belief that this
shut down in some cases may not occur at
all this year. while in others the time de-
voted to repairs and stock taking will be
considerably abridged The situation in
iron is a rather mixed one most complaints
coming from the West IL is significant
however. that the fall in coast freight
rates has been credited with improving de-
mand for iron and steel tor export and con-
siderable orders have been already booked,
notable some steel rails for Egypt and
Mexico while orders for 5000 tons are re-
ported refused account of time limits
set. The tone of the wheat market con-
tinueS bearish Notwithstanding that the
worlds visible supplies nave decreased
100000 bushels in two weeks and that the
probabilities are that visible stocks of old
wheat Aug. l will be as low, if not
lower. than last years. which were the
smallest on record for seven years. A heavy
falling off in the condition of the Kansas
wheat crop is indicated
In spite of unfavorable features there
were fewer failures. smaller liabilities and
consequently smaller assets this year than
IN any previous year for four years past

two years ago and only per cent larger
than in 1893. Liabilities too are smaller
