TRADE REPORT.

Reports to Bradstreets show a fur
Their improvement in the volume and
tone of distributive trade, which held
its inception in the better weather and
crop conditions. Following the check
given to the crop damage enthusiasts
by the June crop report. which can
hardly be regarded as other than bril-
liant for wheat, comes assurances that
the conditions of June 1, good as they
undoubtedly were. have been further
improved. What is true of the smaller
cereals is also largely the case as to
corn, though the latter is backward
and needs warmth. A better business
is noted in some lines of mems wear
woolens, and some makes of cheaper
goods are reported heavily ordered
ahead. While the cereals are lower on
good crop reports, quick support has
come from the export demand, which
has been the largest for weeks past,
and the decline has been, temporarily
at least. arrested. One of the most
satisfactory features of all is that after
quite a period of dullness pig iron has
been taken more freely at leading mar
kets, and bars and plate have sold bet
ter, the latter even noting an advance.
Pig iron production is shown to be
proceeding at an unprecedented rate.
but consumption seems to wait prompt
ly upon output. Railroad earnings con-
tinue in diminished volume, and the
only decidedly unfavorable feature de-
serving attention is the failure of the
machinists' strike to be amicably set
tied, the prospect in fact being that the
contest will be long drawn out one.
