Sustained as Crops Near Maturity.
tBy Associated Press-)
NEW YORK, July 25.-R. G. Dun and
Company's weekly review of trade to-
morrow will say:
Each day brings the agricultural pro-
ducts CT the nation nearer maturing
and as the possibility of any injury be-
comes smaller, the feeling Of confidence
IN fully sustained trade grows stronger.
Storms destroyed much property IN some
sections, and the prompt restoration CT
structures has added to the activity OF
building trades. Railway stocks rose 10
new high record quotations and gold was
exported, yet money ruled easy. July
oats succeeded corn as the leading spec
ulative cereal. but all distant grain OPP
tons tended lower as the outlook i'm
proved The heavy distribution OF mer-
chandise is shown by railway earnings
thus far reported for July % per cent.
larger than last year and 2o;s per cent.
In excess of the corresponding period
OF 1900
insufficient fuel is the one serious diff
f1cuItv in the iron and steel industry,
Interruptions and delays from this cause
becoming more noticeable each day Sup
plies eff coal are curtailed by the strike.
although coke ovens are making new
records of productions.
Aside from moderate buying for Red
Sea ports there has been little trade in
the export division of the cotton goods
market. Domestic purchases are con-
fined to immediate requirements as a
rule. the finer grades alone being ordered
in advance. Conservatism is still shown
by sellers also. no concessions being CT
fered to stimulate trade.
There was less activity in the specula-
tive markets for the leading cereals. yet
prices were fairly we'll maintained. Cot
ton was irregular because improved
crop prospects acted In opposition t. the
brisk demand for consumption. Finally
the former influence prevailed and quo
tations declined sharply Failures for

whiskey under the bootblack's stand.
