REPORT ON TRADE.

Bradstreet's report on trade for last
week says:
Evidence multlplles that the tide OF
trade has turned and that it is now
setting strongly in the direction of
an enlarged business at steady or high.
er prices. Crop improvement, partie.
ularly in the central west and the Mis-.
sippi valley, have been the mainspring
OF the more cheerful tone of advices
and enlarged fall trade operations.
Even from the so-called drouth-strick.
en- corn belt come advices of a quite
satisfactory business, in some instanc-
es reports being of larger iobbins
trade than in the corresponding period
a year ago. At the great eastern cen.
ters distribution is going forward in as
good, If not better volume, than a wear
ago. Prices, except for some irreeu.
larity in the cereals, have been gener.
ally quite steady. Wheat was weak
early on increased supplies afioat. en-
larged receipts at the northwest and
the market conditions favoring a de.
cline, but strengthened later on con.
tlnued poor crop reports from abroad
FAIRLY large clearances, although not
equal to the previous week and gener.
al confidence in present or better nrices
being maintained. Corn has sympa-
thlzed largely with wheat, though
weakening on its own account on het.
ter crop advices from the states east
OF the Mississippi, where timely rains
nave fallen. Net changes for the week
are slight. Some hog products. mar.
ticularly lard, have sympathized with
the strength of corn.
Iron and steel show little chanse
accessions to the strikers in the case
OF the leading tube works of the conn.
try having been enhanced by the re.
opening OF stuck" mills in the Pitts.
burg district. Tin plates and sheets
are scarce and hard to get, ond an or.
der for 100000 boxes at 81 per boy was
refused at Pittsburg. Chicago iron
ana steel jobbers are reported besiegea
by buyers.
Building material is quite active al.
though the steel strike interferes with
progress at some centers. Lumber

lots. ''oie

plunged through the GAINESVILLE canning
factory's plant. The building was OF
