BRlDS1REEI's TRADE REVIEW.
The Trade Conditions of the coun-
try Are More Promising
Effect of the Warm
Weather.

New York, July 3.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: Warm weather has
been the keynote of the situation this
week including favorable conditions
for the winter wheat harvest, splendid
progress by corn and cotton, enlarge
ment IN retail trade in summer goods,
generally heretofore backward, and,
what is known most important of all,
bringing about much more cheerful
feeling as to the future outlook for
business generally. Additional re-
ports as to six months trade are quite
favorable despite earlier unfavorable
conditions. June bank clearings,
though aided by stock, grain and cot
ton speculation, large semi i-annual
disbursements and the putting through
of large deals, have not been wholly
dependent thereon for the marked ex-
pansion shown over last year. Fail
ure returns are likewise favorable in
that six months embarrassments were
the smallest in number reported in 70
years, though a comparatively few
large suspensions, widely separated
and generally unrelated to each other,
swelled liabilities 5 per cent. above
those of last year. Generally speak
ing, the second half of the year opens
auspiciously. w. 49,
a slight decrease in sugar, designed
to encourage backward demand, is
noted. Yellow pine and white pine
lumber is weaker at the west, but IN
changed at the east, while hardwoods
are generally firmly held.
Aside from the continuance of the
slightly better feeling noted in iron
and steel circles last week, develop,
ments are few. New buying is still
small, though better than for some
weeks past. Better crop reports and
the placing of large rail orders, in all
SEQ, coo tons, for next year, are
source of confidence.
