TRADE REVIEW.
Comments on the General Situation
by Leading Commercial
Agencies.

New York, July 26.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: Each day
brings the agricultural products of the
nation nearer maturity and as the POSSIBLE
ity of any serious injury becomes smaller,
| the feeling of confidence in fully sustained
trade grows stronger. Storms destroyed
much property in some sections, and the
prompt restoration of structures has added
to the activity of building trades. Railway
stocks rose to new high record quotations
and gold was exported, yet money ruled
easy. July oats succeeded corn as the
| leading speculative cereal, but all distant
grain options tended lower as the outlook
improved. The heavy distribution of mer-
chandise is shown by railway earnings thus
far reported for July ~25 per cent. larger
than last year and 200 per cent. in excess
of the corresponding period of 1900
Failures for the week numbered NS in
the United States against 1873 last year, and
II in Canada against Is last year."
Bradstreet's says: Crop conditions, par
ticularly as to corn and cotton, have fur
Their improved, and the confidence in fall
trade shows no diminution, but rather an
increase. The best advices come, as here
tofore, from the northwest and, southwest.
Weather conditions in the east have been
depressing to trade in seasonable goods,
and fall trade in dry goods promises to be
late. as heretofore Indicated in this col
umn. A further Improvement Is, however,
noticed in shoes and leather, and wool is
again higher in price despite manufacture
ers holding back buying. Among the in
dustries iron and steel are easily first in
activity, and relief from the so-called pig
iron famine is sought in freer importations.
The fruit season is now in full swing and
sugar consumption is at its full and prom
ises to be very heavy. Produce is still high
despite fiattering crop prospects. Oats have
suffered the predicted squeeze and reached
the highest price of the generation. Range
cattle and Texas hides have surpassed all
records and fine tobaccos have also reached
best on record quotations. On the other
hand, the cereals, cotton and hog products,
rejecting the improved crop reports, are
lower. AS indicative of the activity in
widespread directions, it is noted by west
ern hardware men that there will be no
dull season this year. Railroad earnings
show gains of over five per cent. so far for
July, and bank clearings have begun to
show the gains earlier predicted over last
years totals, reduced as they were by hot
weather and drought effects on specula-
