general trade in the direction of improve
ment The lake strike though apparent
ly weakening, is still detrimental to many
lines of business along the northern bor-
der.
Railway earnings reflect the smallest
movement of business in May in a de-
crease of 35 per cent from a year ago.
With lower prices there has come an ex-
pansion of export trade in a number of
manufactured lines, notably iron and
steel, leather and lumber, but foreign de-
mand for our cereals show no improve
ment
Dry goods are slow of sale at Boston,
New York and Philadelphia.
The textile industries are rather quiet
Wool Is firmer because old stocks are
practically exhausted, and the new wool
bought at the west costs more. Leather
is rather tirmer at the east and buff hides
have advanced. Philadelphia reports bus
mess in lumber 70 per cent behind last
