BRADsTREET's REVIEW.

New York, July 5.-Bradstreet's tomor- row will say:
 Hot weather, holidays and stock taking, the first named particularly, have limited trade in the period under review and caused practical suspension in indus trial activity in many cities. Against this seemingly unfavorable feature, how ever. is to be noted the fact that good business has been done in all kinds of seasonable products at retail, and the check to trade at wholesale has been largely a postponement rather than actual elimination of possible business. The crop situation has on the whole inn proved and corn and cotton, the two lead- ing crops most in question at present, have gained some of the ground lost earlier in the season by cold weather. The wheat crop is certainly in a favorable condition because harvesting has gone forward rapidly and results have been on the whole quite satisfactory.
 Corn shows the heaviest advance for any week for a year past on reports of dry, hot weather damage, aided, however, by speculative manipulation and a fairly good export business. Wheat Is lower on liquidation induced by good crop reports and despite confirmation of the heavy de- felt in the German crop, the poor French crop and of the short yield in Hungary with doubtful prospects in other countries of Europe. Oats are higher owing to the rather poor domestic crop prospects. Hog products were strong earlier, but broke and finished lower on the week on hqui- dalton caused by the bear raids. t,
 The feature in retail trade this week has been the very large distribution of all classes of summer goods induced by the hot spell Wholesale distribution has been comparatively limited, but it Is to be noted that Western jobbers have ex- perienced a good reassorting demand. based upon hot weather condition The extile situation Is fully as favorable as a week ago. Cotton goods production has; felt the influence of regularly planned curtailment, and in addition has been af- fected by severe falls, due to the heat

init this in view of the firmer tone Of hides and the feeling that an upward tendency in the finished product may shortly ensue.
 In the iron and steel trades strikes and weather have been features leading to unsettlement, but just how much idle ness Is due to the demand of labor organ nations is hard to measure. because shut downs of iron and steel mills for repairs or because of weather conditions are the necessary and unusual thing at this period of the year. The fact is that non-union mills ordered struck by the amalgamated society are now running at fun capacity, and the employers claim that they wei come the shut down Of the union mills so as to allow needed repairs.
 Dullness due to exceptional weather conditions and to the closing of the stock exchange from Wednesday until next Monday deprived New York stock mar ket transactions of importance. The only feature of the market was the Unit ed States steel stocks which, after the declaration of 1s per cent on the pre- ferred and l per cent on the common shares broke moderately, partly on real izing and partly on fears of an extension of the labor trouble at the American sheet steel mills to other constituent concerns.

Columbus, O.. July 6.-Allen O. Myers today brought suit in the United States District Court here for s5o,0oO damages against the Grand Lodge of Elks. He claims that he was wrougfully and 1le- gally expelled from the order; that his newspaper, The Elk, was destroyed and his history of the Elks rendered valueless and that the ritual of the'order, of which he was the author and proprietor, was appropriated and is now dn use, for all of which he asks damages In the amount stated.

TO WITHDRAW FROM BUSINESS
Low Ocean FreiGhts Cause New York
ExportfnR Houses to Close

NEW YORK, oct ,29.-Rumors which
Were current early today of prospective
Withdrawals from business in the grain
exporting trade, were confirmed late In
the day, although the names of the firms
which purpose retiring were not stated
for publication. 1t was said frankly, by
persons in n position to know, however.
that at least three exporting firms would
Wild up their business presently, having
sustained all the losses they cared to
stand. by reason Of the slump in ocean
freight rates, which has demorallZed the
grain exporting business within the last
two months.
These Withdrawals from business may
not necessarily be regarded as failures
in the technical sense. The houses have
failed Of the success they expected. In
at least one instance, a house which Is
among the three classed as ready for dis
solution. was an outgrowth of another
well-established firm. and that older firm
has, at different times. had three such
auxiliary houses which fipurished In good
times and were closed when the tide of
business began to abb. Such was the
statement today by Il man of wide expert
encc in the business.
