TRADE REVIEW,
Signs Of Activity in Fa|
Trade Are Noted.
Business Failures Reported
Fewer Than Last Year.
Canadian Trade Reports Indicate
A Consistent Steadiness.

New York, July 30.-Bradstreet's
State of Trade tomorrow will say:
More buyers are in evidence in lead
ing markets and fall jobbing trade
shows signs of getting under Roadway
of the tariff bill settlement and the
rapidlty of recent price advances
breeds conservatism in many whole
sale lines. pending clearer views of
final crop out turn. The cereal crop
situation is about uniformly favorable
bumper yields of spring wheat and
corn, better than expected winter wheat
yields and satisfactory reports from
the barley, oats. hay and alfalfa crops,
all go to make up general prospect
for good crops such as has not been
witnessed for years.
The cotton crop situation is less sat
isfaCtory. Industrial operations show
enlargement, with iron and steel lead
ing. and there is less than might have
been expected of midsummer quiet in
manufacturing circles generally. The
undertone of prices on copper is
weaker. Offerings of eleCtrolytic at
concessions oversee developed little
or no interest. Stocks abroad are very
heavy, and therefore prospective buy
ers are not anxious to buy. In the
domestic market demand is light and
while producers are not pressing sales,
second hands are disposed to take bust
ness at prices somewhat under the list
or normal level.
Wheat, including flour, exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week ending July %, as reported by
telegraph to Bradstreet's aggregate
.579652 bushels, against 2,6O5, 1913 this
week last year. For the four weeks
ending July 20. exports are 1898, 731

exports for the week are 149,904 bushels
