The effect of the teamsters' strike at
Boston is more and more evident in this
city. There are very few traders but
what are effected as they have goods
that are held at that place and in some
cases are unable to fill parts of their or
ders Some of them are glad of it as by
it they are able to work off some of their
stock they have on hand and reduce their
stock to where they like to keep it. The
express companies also show it as both
their outgoing and incoming freights are
larger and of a different kind from what
they usually have. Perishables are among
the most noticeable.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
Effect of Labor Troubles Is Felt I'm the
East-ConditiOn OF other IndustrIes.

New York, June 21.-R. g. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Trade at the east is more quiet ow-
ing to the advancing season and the
bad effect of prolonged labor contro-
versies is being felt in certain lines.
Reports from the interior and the far
west are more encouraging; bountiful
harvests are being expected, while
the light stocks carried over from the
previous season assure profitable
prices. The best indication of con-
tinued prosperity is the fact that
quotations do not recede, even in the
lines where at present there is only
a moderate degree of activity.
Uncertainty regarding their ability
to secure pig iron at reasonable
prices is making producers of steel
cautious in accepting contracts that
call for delivery at even remote
dates. Raw material is undoubtedly
in light supply, and the anthracite
coal strike has suspended work at Il
number of furnaces. Coke production
is attaining new records each week
in the endeavOr to supply all re-
quirements, and better railway facili-
ties are making unprecedented ship
ments from the Connellsville region.
Soft coal is beginning to show the ef-
feet of an abnormal demand.
Quiet conditions prevail in eastern
dry goods and footwear markets.
Buying of woolens is also limited.
Prices in all textile lines are firmly
held, despite the slow movement.
Shoe shops in New England have more
orders, yet most factories only oper-
ate part time, and some are entirely
idle.
Failures for the week numbered 1874
in the United States, against 1913 last
wear ago,
