BETTER TRADE CONDITIONS.

With Promising Crops Confidence In
Nearly All Lines Grows.
New York, July 16.-According to the
weekly review of trade issued by r. G.
Dun e. Co., aside from the strike Of the
packing house employees, the condi-
tlons Of trade contain much encourage
ment. Crop prospects have improved,
and the general level of farm products
promises a large return to agriculture
lists, which means better business for
all industries. Confidence grows with
the crops, retailers showing more dis
position TO prepare for the future as
the season advances, with no serious
setback TO the farms.
A few manufacturing lines are more
active, although there is still much
idleness at the shops and mills and pig
iron output for July will be smaller
than any recent month. Reports OF in
creased plans FOR erection of buildings
are not accompanied by any note
worthy expansion in demand for struc-
tural materials as yet.
Railway earnings for the first week
Of July are only 6 per cent less than
last year, and foreign trade at this
port showed gains of S530,2s6 in ex-
ports and S1,0O6, ,724 in imports as com
pared with the corresponding week a
rear ago.
Preliminary returns of exports from
all ports for June show the smallest
record Of recent years in value Of
breadstuffs sent abroad The total Of
al merchandise was only s2,625.712
behind the same month last year, while
the loss in breadstuffs alone was So
