Bradsfrest's Report.

New York, May 20.~-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: The excellent foreign
demand at good prices for most products
of American agriculture constituted, as
for some time past. the leading feature of
the country's trade. Second only to this
and necessarily forming an important link
in the chain of good trade. may be men,
toned the almost uniformly good crop sit
uation, furnishing the best evidence that
foreign demands now and i'm the future
will be made quietly. The balance of trade
already piled up in this country's favor
constitutes an element OF strength which,
in its effect on the money market, can
hardly be exaggerated.
Naturally dependent upon and merely a
phase of the foreign demand, is the ac-
tivity visible in nearly all Zines of trans
portation, showing that this industry. like
others, is sharing to the full in the ap-
probation of business having it's rise in
our heavy export trade. An increased will
nngness TO regard the existing wal as
merely an incident in the country's bust
ness seems evident in the trade reports
received this week.
The volume of bank clearings. reports
of railroad earnings. the movement of
prices and the reports received from the
iron and steel trades all seem to concur
in indicating a maximum volume of bust
ness for the period of the year, with even
greater hopefulness manifested than for

favorable conditions.
There are. II Is true, some features in
dicating that the present trade condi-
tions are not universally favorable. While
the reports as to the winter and spring
wheat crops. both as regards acreage con-
ditions and prospects. seem to favor un-
precedented yields. advices from the for
eign crops are hardly as favorable. owing
to the continued wet and cold weather
tending to check termination. There
seems little doubt. however, that the acre
age in corn will be very large this year
and that its increased value as a food
product will be more universally recog-
nized, both at home and abroad.
In manufacturing lines the reports from
the wooden goods trade are no more IA
vorable. except where the stimulus of
army orders imparts activity to some lines
of manufactured products and raw ma
terials.
