however, more doing in wholesale lines for next
fall and winter. and the tone in this branch is
There is considerably more activity in the pig
iron markets. A large part of this however,
appears TO be at the expense of prices.
The coal trade is quiet.
In the leading textile industry there is little
change to note. Cotton goods are reported firm

prices hardening Foreign woods are in increased
sale and eastern buyers are reported contracting
more freely for western clips.
There is better tone in the leather market,
where prices frmer. Manufacturers are GER

R. G. Dun Co.'S weekly review of trade will
say tomorrow:
Faith in the future is more pronounced than
is satisfaction with immediate conditions There
is no more noteworthy feature of the trade out
look than the steadily growing confidence that
with the tariff discussion out of the way and
with the years principal crops assured the prog
ress toward full Industrial prosperity will be
rapid.
Iron and steel conditions reflect a broader de-
mand in some divisions. notably in pig iron
With some improvement in the volume of in
quiries and with raw cotton at high level
prices have held firm in the primary cotton
goods market About / 900 bales of standard
drills have been sold 10 India and small orders
for the Red sea and Africa have been placed.
In the wooien goods division practically all
clothing statesmen are now the road and CON
siderable duplicate business is already reported
very fair demand IS noted wool goods and
on worsted stocks many lines are sold up while
others are sharply advanced in price.
In the hide market pronounced strength has
developed in all lines, and active buying has
been in progress throughout the week.
While there have been further sales of un-
usual size in the leather market. there is n
steady demand from small buyers. and the mar
ket ON the whole shows Improvement over last
month. Prices are firm. owing to the rapidly
advancing hide market

quick upturn. July opened at $1.10h0 Gill and
May at $1.23@ .245ac.
Three or four Of the leading commission
houses, which were the principal sellers yester-
day, renewed their selling operations. and the
market soon became extremely weak. Early
buyers switched to the selling side and as the
prices declined fresh stop loss orders were
reached, which accelerated the downward move

rally and during the remainder of the day a
