WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Dun and Bradsreet Find Moderate, but HeaithfuL I'm
prOpenient in Commercial Conditions.

New York. July Sl.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow viii say;
Trade. crop. and Industrial reports show
little change from last week but general
tendencies. and certainly sentiment. are
in the direction OF moderate Improvement
Preparations for the opening Of fail
jobbing trade in the first week Of August
are making at all cities. buyers are gath
ering IN large numbers, and fun repre-
sentation, with increased buying, IS look
ed for. At a few cities July trade has
not been UP 10 expectations. but at New
York. where a moderate Increase in ac-
tivity is noted. there has been disposi-
ton TO await forthcoming large auction
sales Of cotton and woolen goods, as
offering a line on future demand
Retail trade IS still being stimulated by
reduction sales. and. coupled with warm
weather. these have resulted in a good
distribution. There is q disposition to
believe that retail stocks OF spring and
summer goods are light. in the country
districts certainly SO; but less favorable
reports in this respect come from large
Industrial centers. where public buying
power is limited. The size OF the carry
over Of fall and winter goods from last
season is also a question
Best reports OF fail trade come from
the Central West. Northwest. and the
South. In which latter section bumper
cotton crop prospects are a stimulus
Everywhere. however. the testimony IS
that buying is Of a conservative CharaC-
ter. In industry, there are evidences Of
expansion IN some lines and Of contrac-
ton in others"
