pUN's REVIEW.

New York, July 2S.-R. G. Dun and
eompany's review of trade tomorrow will
say;
Commercial tendencies are still In the
direction of improvement although prog
ress is hampered by some imitation of
prices for the raw materials of textile
and footwear industries.
Confidence expands as the crops are
secured, each day putting large duanti-
ty of grain beyond danger and making
sensational rumors of loss less effective.
Weather conditions have been favorable
for retail distribution, reduced stocks in
the hands of dealers being reflected in en-
larged Wholesale and jobbing demands.
The Industrial situation is In striking
contrast to conditions prevailing year
ago. when there was much idleness both
on account of quiet trade and labor con-
troversies Complete returns now availa-
BILE for the leading departments indi-
cate that the first half OF 1900 made
better comparison with the corresponding
six months of last year than even the
most sanguine estimates. Foreign COM
merce at this port for the last week was
almost identical with the results in 1904
Traffic interests begin to feel the pres
snre of crops but facilities have proved
ample thus far and railway earnings in
July were per cent larger than in the
same time last year. Resumption of work
at several steel plants testities to the
hrevity of the midsummer period of dull
ness Confidence in the future is so gen.
eral in this industry that 1t will be most
surprising If expected activity failed to
materialize. Prices are readily maintained.
Hides has advanced still further and
conservative buyers are beginning to hes
itste before placing orders. There is sur
prisingly little disposition among visiting
BUYERS in the Boston market to resist
the upward tendency of prices for boots
and shoes.
Failures this week numbered PA in the
United States against 220 last year and
81 in Canada compared with Is a year
ago.
