R. G. Dun 4 Co.'S Review says:
"More good news comes from the
great iron centres, where bridge and
boat builders and makers Of agricul-
tural implements, stoves and cast iron
pipe are all eager to secure raw or par
tally finished material. Iron generally
il a moro solid and better balanced
market than for two months past.
Wheat declined still further on Satur-
day, touching the lowest price since
carly In June, and making the fall
1880, from the top point Of the season,
about two months ago. Vigorous mar
keting by farmers shows their willing
ness to sell Mt current prices, receipts
at urinary markets during three weeks
amounting to 10, 500, $50 bushels, against
10, CAB, 05l last year. Daily figures of
exports continue light, although there
is much talk of purchases for foreign
account, Prices recovered from the
lowest point, traders on the short side
taking profits freely Corn is steady,
hut drop last year makes the present
price only 4 cents above that Of 1899.
Railroads reporting earnings for August
10 date show IA per cent. gain over
1899, and &c 2 Per cent over 1883, sixty
one companies increasing g. per cent
for the first week, and fifty-fiye gain
ing 8. per cent for the second week.
There ia 3.3 per cent decrease this yeal
on few granger lines, but they are
l5,2 per cent over 1888. For three
weeks of August New Yorls's exports
increased a63 per cent, while imports
decreased LIS Fer cent, Liabilities of
failures In three weeks Of August were
s., 36S. a34, against "a, 0IA, lSa last year, ="
Bradstreet's says; I'm the list of un-
favorable features, holiday quiet in
many lines is notable mt the Large
Eastern centres, although soma inn
provement in dry goods johhina is re-,
ported at several points The dullness
in general speculation is marked, stocks
aud fuod products being very inactive,
In the textile trades quiet in cotton
season for mems wear woolens drags
nereeptibly, Raw wool is quiet, and
the manufacturers are Euying to fill
orders actually booked, Raw cotton is
at deadlock, crop uncertainties and
extremely small supplies being balanced
by the lass favorable outlook for the
manufactured goods. Reports ara com
mon of a falling oil in traliic an leading
Eastera roads now being mated, hut
certainly nothing of this is reflected in
the gross earnings of leading railroads
for the second week of August All in
all, the trade situation may la said TO
lack snap, but there is little appear
ance OF weakness, and hopefulness as
to the fall trade outlook is expressed,
in spite of its presumably being year
of election excitement.
