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

New York, July 2S.-R. G. Dun & Co. 8
Weekly Review of Trade says: Each day
brings the agricultural products of the
nation nearer maturity and as the possible
tty 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 Is per cent. larger
than last year and 200 per cent in excess
of the corresponding period Of 1900.
Failures for the week numbered 20S In
the United States against 1893 last year. and
II In Canada against Is last year"
Bradstreets says: Crop conditions, par
ticuiarly as to corn and cotton, have fur
ther 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

noticed in shoes and leather. and wool is
