COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

R. G. Dun & Company's weekly re-
view OF trade says;
Trade conditions were gradually
becoming more general after the con-
clusion OF political conventions, when
a new disturbing factor appeared in
the strike of packing house employees
and allied trades. This enhanced
prices of meats and added many
thousands to the already large army
OF unemployed, weakening the pur-
chasing power of the people still
further. Aside from this unfavorable
development, the news of the week
contains much encouragement. Rail-
way earnings for the first week of
July are only per cent. less than
last year, and foreign trade at this
port showed gains OF S53o,286 in ex-
ports and SG,ooo,724 in imports, as
compared with the same week a year
ago.
Textile manufacturing plants ara
operating somewhat irregularly, reduc-
Ion OF wages by Fall River concerns
having been decided upon, and this
nay result in the general resumption
20 greatly desired. Export buying has
the market, stocks OF heavy sheetings
and drills being fairly we'll cleaned up.
In woolen goods the week has brought
the opening of new lines of medium
grade mems wear at about last years
prices. This fact and some resump-
lion OF clothing factories combined
20 increase sales, putting this industry
4, a better position than other tex
tiles.
Failures this week numbered 225
IN the United States, against 2I3 last
year. and 20 in Canada, compared With
10 year ago.
