New York. June 30.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: 1.-THE country
begins to feel some of the effects of its new
place among the nations. Influences af-
fectlng ITS business during the week
ranged all the way from a boycott at St.
Louis TO war in South Africa and from
sun spots to the relief of Peking Droughts
and sun spots have played their part be-
fore, but none can quite foresee all the re-
suits of defending American rights in
China. Political influences also tend to
color current opinion about most things in
presidential years. All these and other in
fluencese work together to create a state of
uncertainty until the controversy is over.
''The long effort to hold nominal prices
for iron ct Pittsburgh has ceased. and the

staining even more than when prices were
purely nominal, and while there are many
considerable contracts waiting for safe
basis in cost of material, the problem is a
rather difficult one. Over 80 furnaces are
said to have gone out Of blast, and while
some have been stopped for repairs, many
scales for the coming year have been set
tied with labor organizations. With a
proper adjustment of supplies and prices
to the actual demand heavy business is
possible, but delay at this season may af-
feet prosperity for some time to come.
Neither official nor unofficial accounts
have removed doubts about the$wheat crop,
and If it proves as low as one estimate, 460,-
DOC, 600 bushels, the extent to which 1t may
now be displaced in European consumption
by corn will be seriously tested. Exports
of wheat and corn were 429 900, 600 bushels in
1888, and 600 in 1899. and have been
about 1870, 600 600 bushels and 210, 600, 900 BUSH
els of corn in the crop year 1900, but never
as large before, for in 1892, when 225,000, 600
bushels of wheat went abroad there were
only 75,0O0, 600 bushels of corn. But all re-
cent estimates of production have been so
far distrusted, and it is scarcely good sense
to base grave apprehensions on any so
early in date, and the census this year will
be awaited with especial interest, because
It will help to show how unworthy of re-
lance some estimates have been.
