nUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, June 23.-R. G. Dun &.
Co.'S weekly review Of trade will say
tomorrow:
The outgo of more gold this week,
S4,000,000, so far reported, makes it
clear that Europe is in need The
French ministerial crisis has been
grave and prolonged, the collapse OF
German speculation in industrial stocks
threatens some trouble, but perhaps the
South African uncertainty causes most
disturbance. Whatever the cause, Eu-
rope needs money, and cannot claim its
own from the west this year, but must
borrow Exchange and trade balances
show that this country is not called up,
on to pay, but the money is worth
more to lenders abroad than it is here.
Home finances are most satisfactory.
Revenue falls behind expenditures for
the fiscal year less than 100000, 900,
and but for $4,000, 900 war expenses,
including payment for the Philippine
debts and for Cuban soldiers, the reye-
nue. exclusive of that from that of the
war tax exceeds ordinary expenses.
Trade balances in spite of exports from
New York, 10 per cent less than last
years, and imports 20 per cent greater,
still promises large excess of exports
for June. Nor is there any substance
in the idea that large foreign sales of
securities are moving gold. The best
evidence attainable shows that in Jan
uary and February about S5,250,000
worth Of secures came TO this side, and
since February not more than $4,000,
600 in excess of shipments. In oharae-
ter, transactions have been Of the trad
ing and Of the investment sort.
Stocks here have weakened but most
exclusively in industrials, which for
eigners do not touch, these declining
1903 per share on the average this
week, while railroad stocks have aver
aged a decline OF only 20 cents per
share.
Earnings for the first half of June
are better than for any previous month
this year, 100 per cent larger than last
year, and 11.3 per cent larger than III
1892, the granger roads gaining most
largely over last year In spite OF the
reduced movement of grain. In the
great staples there is a turn for the
better. Exports of wheat. ficlr inciud-
ed, for the week have been 3,643.672
bushels. against 3,800.se last year, and
in three weeks 6,504.262 bushels,
against II ,005.79s last year. Corn ex-
ports also continue large. 2.627 ,s56
bushels. against 2.574.723 last year. A
sharp fall in cotton also encourages ex-
ports. These are facts which preceded
orders for gold exports this week, and
do not result from them. but show the
rrczperf IF a Iorpor oufcr, .7T rraercf1ar-
disc in coming months Wheat re-
ceipts at the west, 15.s00,653 bushels.

for the day. Liverpool was expected
to show strength to-day following the
substantial recovery here yesterday,
but declined instead. Odessa reported
more rain, followed to-day by extreme
heat. Rains were also reported at 9TH
er points where drought has prevailed.
On the opening decline there was mod
erately heavy buying by local traders,
sufficient to cause a gradual reaction
to 767s@761zc. There was no let up in
the heavy primary receipts and as to-
days cash and export demand showed
considerable falling off, this was fac
tor in the weakness which before the
close carried September down to 76@
761sc. Minneapolis and Duluth report
ed arrivals of $50 cars, against 666 last
week and 1874 year ago. Chicago re-
ceipts were 109 cars, three of contract
quality. The total primary receipts
were $4,000 bushels, compared with
$4,000 bushels a year ago. Atlantic
port clearances Of wheat and -four were
equal to 161, 900 bushels. Toward the
close the situation was improved some
what by the cash business, which prov
ed to be better than expected, 100000
bushels in all being reported worked
here. This injected little life into
the market, and resulted in recovery
in September to 76A@76asc. 1t was
bringing that price at the close.
Corn was heavy and lower. Receipts
were heavy, 996 cars, and elevator peo-
pie and local longs were free sellers.
The cash demand was light and heavy
receipts are looked for tomorrow.
Crop reports were generally favorable.
September ranged from 34asc to 94%c,
and closed 1ac lower at 1850.
Oats were dull and weaker, principal
ly in sympathy with wheat and corn.
There was some selling on favorable
country advices. Receipts were 23S
cars. September ranged from 215s@
2lAc TO Zztsc, and Closed 20 ~ 72c lCWer
at 21Mc.
Provisions were extremely dull and
heavy. Hog receipts were large and
packers were sellers in a moderate way
There was also some selling caused by
uneasiness over the labor situation at
the yards. The shipping demand was
liberal. Changing from July to Sep
tember was a feature Of the trading.
At the close September pork was sc
lower at $3.50; September lard a shade
lower at $5.10@5151a; September ribs
21ac lower at $4.S0@AS212.
Estimated receipts for Saturday:
Wheat, 100 cars; corn, 1,025 cars; oats,
374 cars: hogs, $4,000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

on the hope Of short crops IS growing


weary.
The textile industries are much be-
hind in prices though woolens are now
steadily rising and are per cent high
er than their lowest in March. The
goods are in much stronger demand
and the wool has advanced from 1901
to 1876 cents for domestic. taking the
average of 100 quotations by Coates
Bros, though the buying is largely
speculative. In cotton goods the adj
vance has been small and though
business is excellent the demand fairly
matches the supply.
The great gain in volume of business
might seem of questionable safety were
1t not greater in irs. production, re-
suEing from an actual excess of de-
mand over supply and not from specu-
lation. Bars are stronger by So per ton
at the east, though iron is 81 per ton
easier at Pittsburg, but, difference
of S. per ton in favor of steel makes
the demand for iron larger. 1t is in
teresting that a 10000 ton order for
plates for two American liners TO be
built by the Cramps has gone to Chi
cago, eastern works being too full Or
ders for finished. products show no de-
crease in quantity. and for most lines
and as for rails are quite often refused,
speedy deliveries being impossible.
Failures for the week have been lis
in the United States, against 2S5 last
year. and Is in Canada, against IL last
year.

Stocks-The stock market did not
extend beyond professional bounds at
any time to-day, but the small, active
element amongst the operators were
disposed to cover outstanding short
contracts and as a result prices are
very generally higher on the day in
some cases, notably so. The meeting
of the directors of the American Steel
and Wire Company to settle the much
discussed dispute as to whether or not
dividend should be declared on the
common stock was the central event
of interest. After the directors went
into session the meeting waited with
eager and almost breathless expec-
fancy for the result. Much bitterness
has been manifested among the con
1icting elements over this question.
but the action of the stock when It
was finally announced that no divi-
dend would be declared at present
showed that the event had been thor
oughly discounted. The price closed
at the highest of the day, 2la points
