morrow will say:
Important changes in trade and specuia-
ton are notably lacking this week -oas
c5uater-currents of demand in various sec
tons and industries lend a rather more
than usually irregular appearance 10 the
general situation. Among the iaforap!e
features calling for notice are the pracuct.
assurances of an immense corn crop oy the
recent copious rain in the further west

sections which have gathered and are now

earnings. less weakness i. prices of The

apparently on renewed buying for export
and rather more inquiry for raw wool by
manufacturers.
UNFAVORABLE ELEMENTS.
Unfavorable elements in trade probably
find their chief and greatest exposition in
the iron and @steet business. That indus
try is, II possible, more depressed than

tons that price declines would be checked

and of Southern pig iron has been worked
off seems certain, bur it is certain that it is
still buyers market, with everything
that this implies
Export business would undoubtedly ex-
pand if ship room were available.
TRADE BACKWARD.
The trade in dry goods in the East seems
to be backward pending an earlier realiz-
ing of the cotton goods situation. Beach
ed goods have been reduced. but gray
goods and brown cottons are steady.
Some reselling OF their raw cotton by
Eastern mills for export is reported.
Satisfactory progress is reported as to the
growing American and Egyptian crops.
