DuN's REVIEW.

New York, June 26.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade will say:
 No definite unfavorable element Is ap- parent In the business situation, but there are several uncertainties that engender conservatism. In regard to distribution ot merchandise the long period of low temperature has curtailed trade in dry goods. clothing and other seasonabIe lines. Stocks have accumulated and prospects for semi-annual inventories are not alto gether encouraging. Railroad earnings thus far available for June surpass last years by 10.2 per cent aAd exceed those of 1901 by TIA per cent
 Alter further moderate concessions in prices of iron and steel, especially in pig iron and partly finished shapes. the mar ket has steadied, and there are indica- lions that no additional reductions of consequence are probable for the pres ent However, there Is no eagerness to place contracts. While 1t is well known that large amount of new machinery is specified In plants in course of erection. or contemplated, there Is an inclination to delay the placing of contracts as long as possible Contracts for steel rails were placed abroad, presumably because of early shipment required, while rebate of duty on materials for manufacture and export encouraged foreign trade, which, on the whole, has begun to revive as the domestic market quiets. Manufacturers of cotton goods have again advanced quo tations In several lines notably sheetings, although there Is no attempt to secure prices in proportion to the present posi- ton of the raw material Production is being steadily curtailed and supplies of goods will soon be abnormaly light. No improvement Is reported except that mod crate success has attended the semi-an- nual clearance sales by local jobbers. New lines of light weight %oolens for next spring are still confined to narrow and low grade goods. Only fair sup plcmentary demand Is noted for mems heavy weight woolens. Wool Is unchanged and quiet. New England shoe shops are busy on fall footwear with sufficient or ders on hand to assure activity for some time.
 Failuresthis week were 223 in the United States against 200 last year, and 1s in Canada compared with % a year ago.

BUSINESS SHOWS
 AN IMPROVEMENT
Dun and BradStreet See Bright
 Side of Trade
IRON AND STEEL IMPROVE
Large Contracts Have Been Made for Rails By the Leading Trunk Lines aad Central Western Roads.
 Outlook ls Good.

New York, June 26-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 Crop trade and labor conditions still present some irregularities, but six months trade returns point to actual business having been better than year ago, and the situation, as a rule, shows favorable features predominating as to the future. Unreasonable weather, cold In the west and rains at the east and dull retail trade accentuates the usual weakness in wholesale business and re- tards crop development.
 The iron and steel situation on the whole seems to have improved slightly. Large contracts have been made for rails by leading trunk lines and central vest ern roads. The condition of other finished products Is better, and in cruder forms the feeling is fairly firm except for foun- dry pig iron. Even here the unwilling buying by consumers aggregated a fair volume Railroad earnings were better than were early expected, despite flood interruptions in the first part of the month, and returns for the first week of June show a gain of per cent over d year ago, while those for the second ard third week indicate increases of 10 10 i2 per cent in excess of last year.
 Retail trade in dry goods and light summer wear generally notes a check administered by abnormaliy cool weather Wholesale business Is naturally smaller in this line. Cotton goods are affected by the high prices for the raw material l Wool Is. however, flrmer largely In sym pathy with primary markets, where the new clip Is being taken freely at advances over the prices demanded for old stocks The shoe trade notes little change, but a good six months business has been done Hides are firmer at Boston. Sugar is steady and unchanged.

Washington. June 26.-on the morning tors are gathering evidence in at least seven cases of alleged frauds against the postoffice department, which will be pre- sented to the grand jury as soon as the government is satisfied that it has a strong enough case to obtain indictment.
