NEW YORK. Aug. 1S.-R. G. Dun &
Co. s weekly review Of trade says
Prospects OF peace have had a curious
influence on business contracts. but not
quite explainable on common sense
grounds. Nobody really feared disaster
or exhaustion OF national resources. and
nobody feared that anybody else was
afraid Of either Yet orders unusual in
number and size have been placed since
Spain asked for peace In some indus
tries the gain has been large for about
two weeks, while IN some textile manu-
features Il has only begun to appear
this week. but it Involves a considerable
increase IN the working force. Crop
prospects are on the whole more encour-
aging. for 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 all
lowance Is made for its habitual error
In its wheat return. Money markets
show no sign OF possible disturbance
securities are stronger, and there is
no harmful speculation In stocks or
products. Rarely has the financial out
look been more nearly unclouded.
While wheat is 3 cents higher for the
week, there is less doubt than a week
ago that IT win rule lower during the
coming year. The general holding back
of grain by farmers and consequent
heavy shrinkage in western receipts
have reduced the visible supply below
all past records, but everybody under
stands that at this date many times
that quantity is almost within a days
run Of Chicago. The more effective
change is the decrease in exports. which
have been only 3,237 SO bushels. flour
