TRADE EXPANDING

Dull.

Q New York, Aug. OR. G. Dun 4
i Zoos weekly review OF trade says:
Trade and industrial activity con
tinue to expand. Improvement beins
Z OF conservative nature that prom
! ises permanency. There Is little dis
, position to anticipate the future, but
current distribution Ii larger and mer-
camille collections are more prompt.
There is some complaint among
Wholesale dry goods jobbers that the
big auction sales detracted from reg
ular business, but the general stu.
alton was greatly improved by the
distribution Of those accommodations.
and many retailers have remained to
supplement their purchases. In manu-.
featuring lines the iron and steel In
dustry Is steadily adding to output
and shoe shops are receiving sub
stantial contracts. although producers
are handicapped by the persistent
strength Of hides and leather.
A few special sales Of pig iron have
been made at concessions from for
mer quotations. some merchant fur
naces seeking all the business offered.
but the general level Of prices Is not
materially altered and there Is q dis
tinct improvement In demand. Most
recorded transactions are for this
years delivery, each week bringing a
little larger consumption at steel mills
and some reduction Of stocks in fur
mace yards.
Extremely quiet conditions prevail
IN the primary markets for cotton
goods. Export trade is also dull in
Quiries from India and Red sea points
being at much lower prices than are /
luoted. The decline in silver has
made resumption Of demand from
China still more remote AS goods ON
land were made from cotton pur-
biased above the present price there
s no encouragement for producers to
make sales. On some lines Of mems
year woolens initial purchases have
'een completed and many wholesale
lothiers have returned home. Some
divisions have sold well, but on the
vhole results are not satisfactory. If
Footwear factories in New England
eport a steadily improving demand

very and buyers are disposed to oper-
