NEW YORK, July 26.-R. G.. Dun & Co 8
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say:
\ fortnight of the steel trite has passed
without materially altering the position
Of the contestants or adversely affecting
the industry as whole. Exceptional ae-
tivlty is noticed at the mills not affected
by the strike, and the movement of struc-
tural material for bridges. buildings and
track elevation is still heavy. Steel bars
for agricultural implement makers are
firm In price and freely purchased. Rail
ways seek freight cars and rails are sold
for delivery next January. Cotton ties,
sheets and hoops are commanding a pre-
MUM. Pig iron Is accomplishing but pro-
ducers offer no concessions Orders for tin
plates as were not accepted for delivery
before October 1st when the strike began,
owing to the oyersold condition of mills.
and distant contracts are still taken at
unchanged prices, but jobbers are re-
eeivinG high prices for goods deliverable
immedia tely. Tin has fallen to the quo
tations prevailing in May. owing to the
lack of demand here and weakness in
London.
New lines of wooden goods for delivery
AFTER OClOOeT ISL, opened at moderate re-
auctions from last years prices, as gener-
ally expected by the trade. Supplies of
heavy weight goods have been reduced to
satisfactory point and the situation in
all branches of the industry Is such as to
engender confidence. Raw wool however,
thus far, fails TO reflect the Improvement
quotations remaining unchanged at the
lowest average price in four years A few
of the most expensive grades are held
above former figures and the bulk of the
| new domestic clip has gone into the hands
| Of spectators, who await profitable terms,
Cotton goods are dull neither buyers
nor sellers exhibiting any eagerness to
make propositions. Withdrawals of prom
inent concerns from the Fall River selling
committee suggests lower prices for print
cloths. Mills are not fully employed,
either north or south. Quiet conditions in
the domestic manufacture. light exports
and better weather on plantations caused
further depression in raw cotton
Shoe shops are producing at full eapac-
ity, with orders arriving steadily and
statesmen are already placing spring sam
pies literally in western and southern
markets. Business improves as the sea-
trade In excess of the corresponding m nth
in any previous year. Dry hides are sim
in light demand, with values firmly held
while d few grades of Chicago country
hides are lower.
Variations in the corn market on Mon
day indicated manipulation by stock mar
ket interests. Weather reports alone were
not sufficiently distressing to carry the
September option at Chicago to within a
small fraction of sixty cents, while the
withdrawal of support caused sales six
cents lower the following day. High
prices prevailed Throughout the week,
however, and "a 1921 bushels of old corn
were taken out of cribs and marketed at
big profits. Foreign buying is insigntfi-
cant, Atlantic exports for the week
amounting to only 1,0i2, 1861 bushels, against
3,099. S97 a year ago, when quotations were
about fifteen cents lower. Wheat prices
| are more rational. and the movement is
heavy; receipts for the week were 6,SSs, 52S
bushels. against 5,9os,9@ last year. and
Atlantic exports were 4,S3309 bushels
against 1694. 935 a year ago.
Failures for the week numbered 1873 in
| the United States, against 23l last year,
and . in Canada, against IS last year.
