NEW YORK, JUNE 22.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say
Midsummer dullness in dlstributlve
trade and industry and further reducto
Of prices of manufactured goods, part cul-
ally iron and steel and raw materials,
but a marked upward movement in near.
ly all agricultural products are The lead
ing features OF the business situation this
week.
WHEAT GOES UP.
Wheat has advanced fourteen cents
tushel since June 1 and twenty cents
from the low point reached in November
a gain over the latter period of TWEEN
ty-seven cents I'm price. Corn crop adj
vices are stu in a high degree encourage
ing, but that cereal has sympathized with
wheat, a shave also oats, and hog pro
ducts nave in turn felt the Quickening
influence CT higher prices for corn. I'M
proved demand for dairy products Is re-
fiected in slight advance this week. Crop
damage has been moving cause for the
advance ia the price of cotton. Some
weakness in cotton goods, without how
ever faVcrdbiy affecting distribution.
Trade III dry goods has been helped by
dryer weather. Wool is lower and the
wooden goods market Is rather quiet,
av aitlns the next London wool sale and
the opening of the spring weight sea-
son.
IHON AND STEEL
Weakness Of price is still the l,ading
feature of the iron trade and lower quo
tations are noted for pig iron Structur.
al material has also veried predictions
in decline of from 81 to SO per ton. Do
mestic orders fVr iron are perhaps slight
! ~ more hume; Gus, but for small guam
titles. Talk of a systematic shut down
of iron furnaces producing for the op
ell market comes chiefly from the South,
but while this subject is under construc-
ton. the disease is finding a partial cure
in the going out of blast OF a number of
less economical furnaces and the summer
shut down of many mills. Export de-
mand Is &C cd, hut, as for some me past
wait, upon the question of freight room.
The other M."t:Jeare steady.
GENERAL MAR,<ITS
A heavy b;eness is doing Ia Ioned su-
gar, and the manufacturers are oversold.
A good marging of jroit exists in this
trade. Reports from the boot and shoe in
dustry are of rather unsatisfactory trade
prospects and leather and hides are rath-
where heavy purchases for Philippine
army purposes have strengthened tn
market Building demand for lumber is
not active, but white pine is relative firm
Southern pine is in over supply in a num-
Der of marekts. Anthracite coal is in
seasonable distribution, while the demand
for btuminous continues active.
