WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Business Is Rapidly Adjusting Itself in All Branches
Affected by the New Tariff Law.

New York. Aug 13.--Bradstreet's review
OF the state Of trade tomorrow will say:
Improvement is more manifest in gem
eral trade and industry this week, but
there IS stil present the feeling Of con-
servatism hitherto noted. which makes
FOR small end frequent rather than heavy
individual sales.
Developments have been largely IA
vOrable. chief among these the increased
arrivals of buyers in most markets, a
great disposition to take hold for fall
and spring delivery, very favorable
government crop report, the continuance
Of the marked strength in security mar
kets, tbs growing drmness OF the time
money market, evoked by the increased
movement OF money 10 move the crops.
and the apparently growing use Of CAPT
tai in regular trade channels. Withal.
there is a feeling that the marked rise
IN commodity prices renders cautious
buying expedient, and In some lines
heavy early orders are regarded as hav-
ing some speculative elements IN their
makeup,
Trade with first hands in dry goods Is
fair, while jobbing trade expands most
rapidly, and retail trade IS still engaged
In digesting the remnants OF summer
business. Crop developments Of the week
have been mainly favorable, record spring
wheat and oats crops being harvested,
while winter wheat results are salts

New York. Aug. 12-Dun & Co.'s weekly
review of trade tomorrow will say:
"All branches Of business affected by
the new tariff law are rapidly adjust
ing themselves 10 the amended schedules,
and the ending Of the period Of uncer-
tainty as 70 the rates of duty 10 be
imposed has already had the effect Of
stimulating trade, and especially in those
lines which have been slow in reviying
from the late depression.
Reports from all the important cities
in all the leading trades are most en-
couraging. Nothing is apparently lacking
to complete the evidences, which have
been accommodating during the past few
weeks. of a full recovery from the dead
cling effects of the crisis Of 1907, and the
revival now gives promise OF a rapidity
without parallel in the records OF Ameri-
can business. The chief development of
the past week has been the government
crop report, which affords practical as
surance Of remarkable yields OF corn and
oats. and an unexpectedly large yield Of
wheat Next TO this IL interest IS the
report on copper production, revealing
much larger consumption and improving
trade conditions.
In the iron and steel trade. each
week serves TO bring an increased volume
or business TO the mills, and labor Is IN
greater request. Advices from the prin-
cipal Industrial centers indicate that
working forces are being enlarged when
ever possible and retail trade shows more
activity as pay rolls expand.
Commercial failures this week IN the
United States are 225. against 239 last
week. 227 the preceding week, and 2R
the corresponding week last year. Fall
ures in Canada number Is. against j
last week, 2S the preceding week. and

Union Pacific Stocks Soar in
Active Market.
REALIZING SALES ARE NOTED
Speculation Among Operators Rs to
Source of Big Deals Induced Much
Has Support of Greatest short In
terest In Several Weeks.

New York. aug. 13.-In another active
stock market IN which there were sales
Of l,2i5.000 shares there were transac-
lions in 234OOO shares OF Union Pacific
common. and $1,000 shares Of Union Pa
eihc preferred. with gross gains Of six
points JOB the common, and ten points in
the preferred Reports accompanying the
advance We're to the same effect as those
circulated yesterday
The company was preparing 10 dis
tribute its holdings Of investment Sc
curities In some form or other. and the
only variation at all was that the COM
pany would make an offer to preferred
stockholders TO retire their stock on ad-
VantageOus terms.
Nothing official was announced in this
connection. and the disposition among
spectators in other stocks seemed to
b6 dlstrust against the extraordinary ac-
tivity and strength Of the Union Pa
cihc shares. and 10 consider the move
ment as designed To facilitate distribution
OF other stocks in which speculation has
been keen in recent weeks.
No Evidence OF Suspicion.
No evidence Of any such suspicion was
noted In well-informed quarters. where
IL was believed that developments OF inn
portance would appear at no distant
date, but al any rate the majority OF
tho active stocks moved as II the Union
Pacific shares were traded In on some
other exchange and had no influence
upon other stocks in the New York
market
In these other stocks there were very
heavy realizing sales, and general,
though not very material, declines. This
large amOunt OF prOnt-taking was. how
ever, very easily absorbed. and the buy
Ing power, the recessiOns notwithstand-
ing. seemed still Of the most substantial
kind.
The day was rather barren of news
developments Of market Importance. and
discussion Of the Union Pacific rumors
and the always interesting question OF
the extent and sources Of the heavy
realizing sales were most heard among
Spectators.
on these points there was enough diff
ference Of opinion 20 induce much short
selling so that now the market has the
support of a greater short interest than
az any previous time for several weeks
It's technical position. so called, seems
thus 10 have been improved.
Whatever developments the day brought
were again OF a character 20 supply nc
reason for sales Of securities. The Rock
Island. for instance. was in the market
for 5000 cars, and this inquiry, following
closely the heavy orders placed BY the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio. fur
nished additional evidence OF the graft
flying and decided Improvement in busi-
ness of car equipment. car companies
and the steel companies.
Increase OF Steel
In steel also Il became known after
the close of the market that the increase
in steel rails had surpassed expectations.
Reports Of the improvement I'm retail
trade were also well up TO sanguine
expectations. A PA per cent renewal
rate on call loans was established for
the first time, and the demand FOR time
money continued healthy.
