TRADE REPORT.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review o
Trade last week says:
Bright prospects in agricultural sec
tons far outweigh the adverse in
duence OF labor disputes, which an
still netarding trade and manufacture
Confidence in the future is mistaken,
dealers are everywhere preparing for
= heavy fall trade. while contracts for
distant delivery run further into next
year than is usual at this date. Ac.
uvity. has been noteworthy in lumber
regions and fish packing has made new
records. Railway earnings are fully
sustained. the latest returns showing
an average advance OF SO over the
corresponding time last year and 2I.s
per cent over 1900.
Aside from the fuel scarcity and
some congestion Of trafic the iron and
steel situation continues propitious.
Raw wool is fully sustained at re-
cent advances, the average Of 100
grades showing q gain Of nearly a cent
as compared with the level OF May L.
Splendid growing and harvesting con-
ditions have prevailed in most sec.
tons Of the country, especially where
the larger and more important crops
are raised. II Is now almost certain
that the agricultural returns will be
far above the average as to quantity.
while the low stocks at the opening
OF the season are calculated to sustain
prices and there is little prospect OF
q return to the low quotations OF pre-.
ceding years OF bumper production.
Foreign commerce at this port is still
less favorable than in the same week
last year, exports declining $S,775, $50.
while imports increased slightly.
Failures for the week numbered ls6
in the United States, against l7S last
year; II in Canada, against 81 a year
ago.
