VERY QUIET WEEK
 IN GENERAL TRADE Wholesale Business Is In a Kind of Waiting Mood COLLECTIONS STILL SLOW Transportation Is Quiet, as Crop Move ment Is Not Yet Under Headway.
 Demand for Iron Slightly
 More Active.
COLLECTIONS STILL SLOW

New York, July 3-Bradstreets tomor- dow will say:
 It has been very quiet week in trade and industry, seasonable influences, holi- day observances and semi-annual stock taking giving quiet appearance to most lines. In addition local trade northwest and southwest has felt the influence of rainy weather on city retail and country trade. At points where weather has favored reduction sales at retail are rather earlier than usual in the year and have made for some activity in summer goods, but collections as a whole have been slow. Jobbing trade has been of a fll-in character and wholesale trade is still of a conservative character, await ing the out-turn of the crops and polit- ical events.
 July was set as a unemployment day. and many thousands of hands were set to work, notably in carshops and ma chinery lines, but on the other hand print cloth production was curtailed, many glass works are reported to have shut down and the idleness due to the midsummer inventory period has rather robbed the resumption of work at many points of it's imposing character.
 Transportation seems rather quiet While there is some increase in traffic the crop movement has not yet begun, and lake traffic is reported quiet. with many ships tied up and thousands of their operatives idle The demand for iron is slightly more active at the east, but prices are if anying rather weaker.
 Finished lines in the Pittsburg district are still running at about 50 per cent ca pacity There is continuance of the better feeling as to the future, leading cotton goods houses advising purchases on the ground that cotton goods are at the bottom the leather trades are firm at recent advances; western woolmen are asking high prices for their clip, and the lumber trades are rather f1rmer. Foreign trade is quiet, exports of cereals are very light, wheat being down to the lowest of the year and corn exports being the smallest recorded
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending July number 236 which compares with 25S last week and 135 in the like week of 1907. Failures in Canada for the week number Is, which compares with 31 last week and 16 in this week last year.
 Wkeat including flour exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending July, aggregate 2,0OS565 bushels, against 3,129,060 last week and 2,09s, 904 this week last year. For B weeks past the exports have been 203,S72S37 bushels. against 172,S69,SA in the preceding year.
 Corn exports for the week are IS. .549 bushels, against 6S,597 last week and 1,410S04 in 1907. For 53 weeks past the exports have been 45,296,926 bushels. against 7S,1O5,546 in the preceding year.

DECREASE IN RESERVE.
Call of the United States Treasurer
 Causes Big Slump.

New York, July S.-The Financier will say:
 The report of the Associated Banks of New York city for the five days ending July 8 show rather startling decrease of 20.647,675 in reserve, the present sur plus standing at $47. .5s5, $50 as against $es.- 100000 reported during the previous week. The reduction in question was brought about almost altogether by the decrease of s19, 1892, 700 in specie and legal tenders. An explanation of this tremendous change is found in the statement of trust com panies of Greater New York which for the week added to their cash reserves no less than $14,00O000. This cash seems to have come almost altogether out of the vaults of the clearing house banks and was withdrawn prob. ably by the trust companies to make they were compelled to carry on and after July l. The cash of the Associated Banks was also decreased by the return of over $1,50O,000 of public deposits dur ing the week. The call of the Secretary of the Treasury for an additional s45. .Ooo- 900 of public deposits on or before July 15 win also operate to reduce the cash holdings of New York banks,
 The clearing house institutions during the week increased their loans $22, ,4s5. 800 and tbis expansion was due in part to the settlement of July 1 interests, divi- dends. etc. AS 8 result from the opera tions noted the deposits of banks fell 5.ms.S00, while the deposits of state banks and trust companies outside the clearing house rose s13s45, ,OO0. all of the latter in- crease being traceable to the cash addi- tions made by the trust companies last week.

DUN 6 CO.'S REVIEW.
Trade Is Quiet, But the Tone Is
 Healthy.

New York, July 3.-R. G. Dun & Con- pany's weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Trade is quiet but healthy in tone and the past week made moderate progress in the right direction, despite the inter- ruptions of holidays and politics. Conf dence In the future Is evidenced and many ways, encouragement being derived from favorable crop reports and many compari- sons showing that June produced much better results than any month since the setback last October This was particu- larly noteworthy in the insolvency record, June being the first months of 1908 to supply smaller liabilities of commercial failure than corresponding month last year. Manufacturing returns show the customary mid-year curtailment of ac- tivity for inventories and repairs, but re- sumption Is expected to be prompt and many idle plants started up on July l. with a fair amount of business in sight Threatened controversies over adjustment in wage scales are now materialzing, labor leaders appreciating the necessity of concessions in conformity with reductions of prices.
 Activity is still most conspicuous at tin plate mills, the large fruit crops pro- *iding material for busy canning sea son. More business in steel bars has been placed by makers of agricultural jm- 
 are still coming to the mills. Steel rails are purchased moderately, and a large tonnage is contemplated. Concessions are made on light rails by re-rolling mills, amounting in some cases to $5 per ton
 Irregularity continues in the primary market for cotton goods, some advances being recorded while other descriptions are weaker. Neither manufacturer nor buyer are disposed to operate for future delivery, partly because of uncertainty regarding the crop of raw material, a- though this factor is depressing on the whole, as the trade generally anticipates large yield and lower prices than now prevail.
 Export business has improved, especially to river ports of China. Preparations for the next woolen goods season continue but duplicate orders are few and buyers Anticipate lower prices for spring lines. This sentiment is not encouraged by the Advancing tendency of raw wool
 Footwear buyers are numerous in the Boston market, representing wholesalers in the south and west, and some sub stantial contracts have been placed for delivery in the fall
 Leather is quiet, but prices are fully maintained.
