Favorable Reports Are Received From
 Trade Centers.

New York, July 10.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Further small net gains are reported in commercial progress, favorable reports predominating, although the tendency is ny no means definite In many lines of trade the dullness of midsummer is un- usually intense, but each week brings increased manufacturing activity and in- stances are noted by orders for fall goods placed too late for delivery at specified dates. More business is coming to the iron furnaces and steel mills, although orders are usually for small quantities, but a good sign is the increase of specified tions on old contracts. This extends even to billets, which have been notably quiet for several months. Sales of steel bars 6urlng June attained surprising dimen- sions
 Structural shapes move more freely, several large undertakings and numerous small bridges buildings calling for Il substantial tonnage. Tin plate mills have made satisfactory arrangements with em- ployes and eanners are specifying freely against standing contracts, while pipe works increase their active capacity. Tex tile mills are still curtailing output, especially in New England, but gradual improvement is noted in some depart ments. Demand has so long been confined
 
 assurance of vigorous movement when consumption discloses the depleted condi- tions of stocks in all positions. A fair port demand for light weight cotton comes from India and Red Sea points, while staple prints go to Manila and South America. New hnes of woolens attract little attention, the only business thus far being in standard goods, and the season is not advanced sufficiently to determine anything definite.
 Buyers are coming into the Boston foot wear market in fairly large numbers rep resenting wholesalers at the west and south. and fairly liberal contracts are Ilaced.
 Leather is stronger in response to the persistent advance of hides, contracts being placed freely and many depart pients are becoming active that have been oull for many months.
 Further sharp advances are recorded in all branches of the hide market.

GENERAL TRADE
 STILL VERY QUIET Feeling Of Confidence Prevails In Nearly All Sections INDUSTRIES ARE ACTIVE Iron and Steel Business Is Quiet, But Operations Are a Trifle Larger.
 Some Plants Are Now Shut
 Down for Repairs.
INDUSTRIES ARE ACTIVE

New York, July 10-Bradstreet's tomor- row will says:
 Midsummer quiet still reigns in general trade and industry, but the advance of the season and the promise of good aver age crops have accentuated the feeling of confidence as to the ultimate outcome of future fall business. Filling-in orders from jobbers are numerous, but small probably indicating widely broken retail stocks and retailers have rather earlier than usual put in force reductions as means of stimulating consumption. At the west preparations making for buyers excursions and a more thoroughly or ganzed effort to stimulate buying is looked for this fall than ever before. h. dustry is possibly a trife more active, following last weeks holidays, but shut downs for inventory repairs, or to limit productions have apparently more than counterbalanced assumptions that have taken place. The iron and steel industry still reports things quiet, and capacity in operations both in furnaces and finish ing mills showing a trihe enlargement as compared with a month ago. Pig iron production in June was the smallest since February and the output for six months was 52 per cent below 1907.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending July g number 246 which compares with 236 last week, 1855 in the like week of 1907, 143 in 1906, 166 in 1905 and 203 in 1904. Business failures in Canada for the week number S9, which compares with 2s last week and 19 in this week a year ago.
 Wheat including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending July aggregated 2,7s1S2S bushels, against ZOOS, 565 last week and 3,264,714 this week last year For the two weeks ending July ? and g, this year the exports are 479O,3S3 bushels. against ,61S in the corresponding weeks last year. Corn exports for the week were 45, 564 bushels, against 18,549 last week and 1,411, ,675 bushels in 1907. For the two weeks ending July ? and the corn ex- ports are 64,113 bushels against 2S22,479 in the same weeks last year.
