II. Il. Dun n Co.'s Weekly Business
Report.

Il. C. Dun n Co.'s Weekly Business
Report.
NEW YORK, June 17.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says.
Moderate Improvement is noted in
commercial conditions, although prog
ress is along conservative lines and
there is no evidence Of speculative ex-
cesses. Seasonable weather has slim
ulated retail sales of lightweight wear
ing apparel, and jobbers report more
disposition among dealers TO place or
ders for fall and winter goods. Mer-
camille payments are also more prompt,
the brighter crop outlook having a
salutary effect OH all commercial OPP
erations. The steel mills are busy,
and confidence is expressed in develop
ments next month. Textile manufac-
turing is in better condition than Mt
any recent date.
Railway earnings for June average s. 7
per cent higher than last years, and
foreign commerce at this port for the
last week shows gains of S1,397 .312 in
exports and $2636,S96 in imports.
Money markets continue easy, and trad
ing in securities has broadened moder-
ately, but with little net change in
prices for the week. Exchanges at To-
cal banks were 10 per cent larger
than in the same week last year, while
at other leading cities the gain was
IA per cent
Commercial failures for the week in
the United States were 229 against PIG
last week, 19S the preceding week and
25I the corresponding week last year.
