BETTER FEELING BR0ADENs
SeasOnable Weather Has Had the
Encct of stimulating Trade In
Nearly All Lines.

New York, June 23.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
improvement, mirrOred forth some
weeks ago, in the phrase, "better feel
ing" has %broadened and assumed more
tangible form this week, stimulated, as
it has been by seasonable weather, re-
sulting in improvement, better retail
trade, improved recorder business and
larger sales for fall account at many
markets. Advices are best from the
great surplus-producing regions of the
west, but southern reports are also
somewhat better, and eastern cities join
in with reports of stronger markets
for cotton and leather goods. Irregular
weather conditions, largely due TO
heavy rains, color some reports from
northwestern and lake sections.
