BRADsTREET's REVIEW.
Conditions for the Week Have Be;n
 Largely Favorable.

NEW YORK. June 2.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Trade. crop and industrial conditions this week have been largely favorable. temporarily firmer money owing to the July interest disbursement preparations, and slight financial troubles due to i'm proper business methods. detracting from the generally satisfactory and confident feeling with the half year in business clcses. High temperatures have aided the distribution of seasonabe goods at re tall and stimulated recorder demands from wholesalers, although the Vo.ume of business has been limited by small stocks. The cotton goods situation rather lott than gained strength, but the volume or business has been limited by the fact that sellers are not disposed to commit themselves, larSeIy in vlew or the un- satisfactory outlook for raw material prlces. There is a.so beLter tone in wooIen goods and this is reflected in frmer quotations for tAe liner grades or raw material.
 Boot and shoe shipments are we'll up to the maximum again exceeding 10000 cases from EaStefn points for tne week. while the margin in favor or th!s years shipments continues to grow. Export ue- mand for leather continues good and there iB reported active competition Tor buyers. Iron ana steel ho.ds few notaoIy new features. Prices of Bessemer pig have been definitely fixed for the thlId quarter of the year and no doubt ex- lSIS ludl lHeT6 HAS UcGu ltLLse DuSlIletsS done. Southern pig IS Quiet. The ma chinist strike has unqueSttonably hurt this line of business, but this IroubIe seems to be subSiding and the settlement of the tin plate scale, an advance being conceded the workmen leads to the eX- pectation that other branches of trade will reach a like amicabie settlement with their employees. Advices from British are being offered at very low prices, which, in view of the strength of billets at home, may etaken to indicate that American manufacturers are in the ex- port business to stay.
 Seasonable weather has come to the aid of corn and that great staple has made good progress, although still undeniably backward Winter wheat harvesting has progressed under exceptionally favorable conditions and reports as to quantity and quality confirm earlier sanguine condi- tions. Cotton crop prospects have also improved, particularly in the South At not yet put the plants in that section out of danger from dry weather, Prices eX- cept for leading cereals and cotton show little change. Early liquidation, due to feeling in wheat and corn because of re- newed advices of widespread crop impair ment in Europe, particularly in Russia and France. but weakness on liquidation succeeding lost all of the gain. Corn moved in sympathy with wheat, but with a net advance on the week, however.
