DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Business is Rapidly Adjusting Itself
TO New Tariff Schedules.
IRON AND STEEL ACTIVE
EneOuraEtnE Reports Received from
All Important Cities-ActiNity
in Wholesale Dry Goods
Markets.

NEW YORK. Aus. B-R G. Dun a Co.'S
Weekly Review OF Trade tomorrow will
say:
All branches OF business affected by the
new tariff law are rapidly adjusting them
selves to the amended schedules and the
ending OF the period OF uncertainty as
to the rates OF duty TO be imposed has
already had the effect Of stimulating trade.
Reports from all the important cities in
all the leading trades are most encour-
aging.
serves TO bring an increased volume OF
business to the mills. and Is In greater
request. Advices from the Industrial cen
tiers indicate that working forces are being
enlarged whenever possible. and retail
trade shows more activity az payrolls eN-
pand. Conditions in the steel trade. es-
Improve, the railroads buying with in
creased freedom. Liberal orders are re
celved for cars, but structural contracts
are not significant. although considerable
business for moderate lots continues to be
placed.
The dry goods trade has been steady
and conservative, many retail buyers being
registered in the large central markets,
and jobbers report a more general call
for merchandise. Ready-to-wear and spe-
cialty houses are heavy buyers, but fleece
goods and knit goods are in better de
mRnd than at any time since the middle
OF the spring jobbing season. In the pri-
mary markets on cotton goods and yarns
the uncertainty Of prospects I'm raw cot
ton Is still a factor in causing delay in
naming prices on late delivery goods.
There is more animation in the silk piece
goods division, and woolens and worsteds
show no sign OF recession from a very
strong position. Reports OF large orders
for cotton goods for shipment to the
Philippines are confirmed. a very con-
siderable demand for burlsps is a feature
of considerable interest as showing the
slowly broadening general demand.
The footwear market continues in a walt
ing position, but the adjustment OF the
tariff schedules will lead TO more activity,
as some buyers have not supplied their
fall wants. Some fall orders are received
by mail and. although the amount OF new
business continues moderate, Forwarding
OF goods from Boston show an increase
this week. The leather market is some
what unsettled owing to lower prices being
made by some tanners on sole, while an
accumulation affects the lower grades OF
side upper leather.

CATTLE-There were only thirty-four
cars of cattle in the yards today and they
were almost all butcher stock or Feeders.
There were almost no fat cattle on sale
this morning, at least not enough TO make
a showing on the market or to establish
quotations. What little stuff there was
commanded about steady prices, In fact
the feeling was steady.
A considerable proportion of the receipts
consisted of cows and heifeTs, there being
between twenty and twenty-five cars of
that kind of cattle On sale. The market
did not show any material change. Pack
ers all seemed to ave use for the few
loads here, and as a rule they picked up
the offerings in good season in the morn
ing.
There were no feeders here to amount
to much, but as usual at this time of the
week the demand was not overly brisk,
still there was sufficient inquiry to clean
up the few loads at about steady prices.

Feature Of Market.
MORE RUMoRs OF MELON CUTTING
Common Advances GO 215 aad Pre-
ferred to 11s-GeneraI List
sells OFF on Persistent
RealistnE.

NEW YORK, Aug. D-Operators in the
stock market today concerned themselves
almost whoily with the affairs OF the
developments IN this property continued 70
circulate, but they DID not serve TO hold
the general list Of stocks against the pres
sure Of realizing sales, which are pushed
constantly.
On the Union Pacific stocks themselves
the current rumors did not lack vigorous
influence, as shown by the days advance
to 2l5 for the common stock and us for the
preferred stock. 1t is said means might be
found TO retire the preferred stock. II Is sp
found to retire the preferred stock on
terms advantageous to It's holders TO clear
the way for the common stockholders eN-
elusive claim to the proposed plan. The
terms OF that plan continued TO be vaguely
outlined and the time OF its adoption In
definitely indicated in the rumors, while
Of authoritative announcement OF the mat
ter there was none. The appointment OF q
committee Of officials Of the company TO
consider a plan for segregation Of the IN
vestment holdings Of stock OF other COM
panies was made some two years ago. A
revival OF the discussion Of the plan began
when the rise in the price OF Union Pacific
had expanded II 10 a figure unwieldy for
purposes OF ordinary stock market activity.
A substitution Of a new security for part
Of the old stock was then urged as prom
ising the advantage Of greater facility In
open market dealings, even with no actual
change in the dividend disbursements
Union Pacific's 10 per cent dividend now
is expressly designated as S per cent from
the railroad operation and 4 per cent from
income on investments.
1t was urged, furthermore, that an in
crease in the dividends II allotted to diff
ferent securities would not seem so sensa-
floral in a way considered undesirable by
financial managers on account Of arousing
public sentiment. The general strength OF
the market at the opening gave place to a
spotty showing OF advances here and there,
which Trimmed out until the Union Pacific
stocks were left practically alone at the
higher levels. The preliminary estimates
Of the currency movement also gave ground
for some hesitation in speculative extern
sion. Tit growing demands Of the int
rior now for money are likely to shape the
future Of the money market. The genera
stock market became much unsettled in the
course of the day and ran off weak all day
with no definite dealings.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, pa
value, s., 4S4, 0o0. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.
