REPORTS ALL FAVORABLE.
Trade Better for the Time of Year
Than Usual.

New York, Aug. 2.-R- G. Dun & Co. g
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say.
Trade reports from the leading cities
are singularly uniform in making favor
able comparisons with the corresponding
week in any previous year. At most
western and southern points the improve
ment in crop prospects has brought out
liberal fall orders, and there is evidently
more confidence in the future than at
any time since it was found that many
of the principal farm products had made
bad start Jobbing houses are preparing
for winter trade a scale seldom
eQualled. the consumption of seasona BILE
goods promising to deplete stocks most
satisfactorily. Manufacturers still re-
ceive orders in abundance, few clothing
cancellations appear, and it is the ex-
ception when plants have smaller con-
tracts than a year ago. More detailed
reports for the half of 1907 add to the
earlier testimony that all records for six
months were far surpassed.
According to the regular reports of the
American Iron & Steel association, all
previous figures were surpassed during
the first six months with an aggregate
of 13,41S,044 tons, an increase of 753, 103
tons over the previous maximum.
Demand for leather is limited to imme-
date requirements and tanners curtail
production which adds to the accumula-
ton of hides and depresses quotations

Chicago, Aug. z-Unseasonably low tenn
peratures in the Canadian northwest
caused a firm tone today in the local
wheat market. At the close September
wheat was up &c, corn 1kc and oats ia
G12sc higher. Provisions were unchanged
to TIC higher.
Canada formed the chief influence bear
ing upon the market. In addition to the
weather, the news of the day was gem
orally favorable to the bulls. Liverpool
cables were firm because of the greatly
decreased shipments from Argentine,
country acceptances were light, reports
from threshing showed small yields and
advices from seemingly reliable sources
confirmed the spread of black rust in
the Dakotas. These factors together with
the sharp advance in oats held the mar
ket firm all day. There was a good gen.
eraI demand with commission houses lead
firm. September opened 1ac to sc higher
at 92lac to $3.50, sold between 921sq32Ac
and 927sc and closed at 92hc.
The corn market was strong all day on
active demand: Cool weather ana an IN IN
proved demand for cash corn were the
principal factors responsible for the
strength. Longs were the chief sellers.
The market closed strong. September
opened 14c to 3zc higher to 54ssc to 047sc,
advanced to soc and closed at 549sc.
The price of all deliveries of oats adj
vanced more than ! cent per bushel be-
cause of renewed purchases by prominent
bulls. The demand from this source was
supplemented By an active general de-
mand based on damage reports received
from all sections. A report that local
stocks were almost exhausted because OF
the unusually large demand from ship
pers contributed to the bullish< sentiment.
The market closed strong with prices at
the highest of the day. September oats
opened a shade to A03sc higher at 409sc
to 4O7sc, sold at 401zd405sc and advanced to
41zsc where 1t closed.
Provisions opened easy but held firm
during the greater part of the day on
buving by local packers. The monthly
report on stocks of provisions was con-
stTued as bullish, as it showed smaller
stocks than had been generally expected;
September pork closed unchanged, laro
was up &c and ribs TIC higher.
The leading futures ranged as follows;
