New York, June 2S-Reports from
the principal industrial and mercantile
centers are of an encouraging nature
and even the long delay in traiff read
Justment and the new controversy
over the proposition to levy tax on
the net earnings of corporations, do
not seem to hold in check the improve
ment in business conditions. Altho the
crops are now entering upon their
most critical season, and reports are
not uniformly favorable, yet the out
look is generally promising. so that
confidence in good average harvests is
gaining strength day by day. With
these harvests of average volume, the
belief prevails that nothing short of
some unexpected calamity or turn in
public policy can stop the rebound
from recent depression. Moreover, the
Improvement, tho based upon many
sound economic conditions, is I'M
doubtedly Facilitated by the ease of
money which also in part explains the
prevailing tendency toward high
prices. Hot weather is stimulating the
distribution of seasonable merchan-
disc.
Chicago.-The warm wave stimu-
lates leading retail lines to seasonable
activity and sales compare favorably
with previous records in light weight
apparel, food products and house
wares, while advices from the interior
indicate a gratifying reduction of
store stocks and some moderate re-
plenisilmellt Wholesale dealings in
staples now show the between sea-
sons quiet, but bookings for fall de-
liveries continue larger in dry goods,
footwear, clothing, mems furnishings,
carpets and draperies, and there is
more new business coming from the
northwestern territory and the Pacific.
Mercantile collections are yet slow on
city bills, but country settlements re-
main prompt. Earnings of the Chicago
steam roads exhibit further gain over
those year ago, indicating that i'm
provement is sustained in the move
ment of heavy materials, factory
products, general merchandise and
outgo of grain.
/ New Orleans.-Manufac of
textiles report better demand and an
increased volume of trade, but in other
lines and among jobbers business is
rather quiet. Orders for future deliv:'

securities continues andpSices of near
ly all active issues are higher. There
has also been considerable movement
in real estate and prices realized have
i been good. The market for sugar and
rice continues quiet and trading of
limited proportions. Receipts of sugar

tinues steady in practically all lines
with the volume of sales comparing

tural supplies. shelf hardware and
staple groceries are active, and dry
goods and wearing apparel fully nor
NAL. Collections are good. The lum-
Der situation is improving, prices hold

ward further increase. Shipments o,

Omaha-Boot and shoe jobbers re.
port a very good trade, with prices

merchandise, and business from retail

wooden and worsted mills is decided,
encouraging and makers of women
dress goods are also actively employed
