TRADE REPoRrs.

New York. Aug. 11.-BFadstreet's re-
port on last weeks business is as fol-
lows:
Trade was still exhibiting many OF
the irregularities incident TO the transit
ton period between midsummer and
early fall trade. Despite the hot wave,
with Its effect on the growing distribu-
tive demand. and also because OF the
reports Of damage TO the corn crop
which II has melted. q more cheerful
feeling IL perceptible in general trade.
and the booking Of fall orders for dry
goods, clothing and hardware at lead.
ing western centers and heavy engage
ments In iron and steel products at
lower prices are Of encouraging proper
tons. Prices are not showing the pre-
ctpitate declines noted some time ago,
and among the really cling fea.
lures is the advance in wheat, mainly
based on improved export inquiry.
Wool was rather lrmer than of late.
because Of the better inquiry, though
II must be admitted that this steadi.
ness is somewhat at the expense OF new
business.
Cotton goods partake of the strength
Of raw material, and where weakness
Is still pereeptible in brown cottonH,
print cloths and wide sheetIngs, the
natural corrective of reduced produe-
tion is being increasingly sought. 1t
has been q remarkable year in cotton
and cotton goods. and although the
goods market is comparatively weaker
than the raw material. a great deal
hinges on the next months business in
dry goods circles. II is regarded as
certain that with a II ,o00, O0O-bale crop
values will be maintained at prices
lower, IL Is true. than the present quo
tations for raw material, but still high
when compared with last or previous
years range. The spring light weight
season has opened with prices aye TO
&c higher than year ago. and much de
ponds on buyers in guiding manufac-
turers to purchases Of raw material.
While the dry goods demand as a whole
IL still clAssed as backward for the sea
son, the hot weather is credited with
some Of the responsibility. and the
trade attitude as a rule is one Of hope
full expectancy.
An immense business in steel pro-
ducts Is reported booked at Pittsburg
and Chicago. and steel bars are really
frmer. with an advance Of 81 per ton.

who have sold their product up TO the

Current production is claimed 10 be
the lightest for months for more than
year past and further announce
ments OF shutdowns are scheduled as
far ahead as September l. A signid.
cant feature OF the trade is the strength
Of structural material. A large guam.
tity Of material is reported required
