WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
FEARS SECOND QUARTER CLOSES WITH ENCOURAGING RETURNS.

Failures Have Been Little Larger Than
 in the First Quarter but the Average
 Liabilities Defaulted to Firms in Busi-
 ness and to Exchanges Through Clear
 ing Houses is Smaller Than i'm Amy
 Year Except One in the Past Seven.
 New York, July 1.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: The second quarter of the year closes with most encouraging returns. Failures have been little larger than in the first quarter of the year, but the average of liabilities defaulted to firms in business and to exchanges through clearing houses is smaller than in any year except one of the past seven years. The exports of wheat continue eXtraN ordinary. During the week they have been, flour included, 4,006,S90 bushels from Atlantic ports, against 2,0S417S last year, and Pacific exports 416,5e4, against 120,000 last year.
 The market has been a little weaker, but cash wheat has advanced to eighty five cents. Corn has declined a frac- tion, although the demand for export is still beyond all precedent, and cot ton is an eighth lower at 6.25 cents, ow- ing to favorable reports as to the grow ing crop. It is judged by experts that about 90 per cent. of the cotton manu- factory machinery is now employed and yet the demand for goods is strength ening. The heavy stocks carried abroad indicate less than the usual demand for goods there, as do the shipments from Great Britain. The demand for wool has been almost wholly confined to needs for orders in hand, and yet there is good reason to look for better de- mand for goods as soon as the new sea- son has opened, while with government contracts more than the usual propor- tion of machinery is employed, even at this dull season. Sales of wool have
 been only 3,O11,2o0 pounds for the week at the three chief markets, and for the month Il, 039, 900 pounds. The decrease in sales since the continuation of spec
 ulation in February has been most re- markable.
 The shipments of boots and shoes, a little smaller for the past few weeks than in corresponding years since 1892, only indicate that deliveries have been somewhat earlier than usual, since the
 aggregate to date this year is the larg est in any past year excepting in 1895. The leather market is sustained by the demand for immediate use while the market for hides has declined little at Chicago.
 The iron industry shows some decline in prices in Bessemer pig at Pittsburg
 to $1O.25, and in grey forge to $9, with only $11 here and SIPS at Philadelphia for No. anthracite. In general it may
 be said that the markets west of Phila- delphia are remarkably strong, with scarcely any indication of decline in the demand for finished products. Mi- | nor metals are quiet, tine at 15.3 cents and copper at 11.75 cents for lake with | lead steady at 395 cents, though tin | plates are a shade weaker at $3S0 for | full weight American, the correspond | ing foreign grades growing somewhat | stronger. Failures for the week have | been 254 in the United States, against | 241 last year, and fifteen in Canada
