Says Dun in Wholesale
And Retail Trade.
Dry Goods Markets Show an
Increased Activity.
Railway Strike and Crop Prospects
Affect Canada Trade.

New York, July 22.-R. G. Dun g.
Cos, Weekly Review of Trade tomor-
row will say:
Midsummer dullness is less pro-
nounced in both wholesale and retail
departments of trade, and as the lead
ing markets are gradually relieved of
some Of the difficulties with which
they have been best-crop uncertain
ties, price Inconsistencies and other
disturbing elements-a broader de-
mand develops. The primary dry
goods markets show little more firm
ness and increased activity. Crop
prospects in the cotton belt and a
lessening of the pressure to liquidate
merchandise Influenced higher prices
for goods at the first signs of a re-
newed demand and buyers are being
more seriously impressed with the
scarcity that is being brought about
by the widespread Curtailment of out
put BY the mills. Wide print cloths
are from u cent to a cent above the
lowest point touched. and four-ya
sheetings have been sold at an ad-
vance of u cent. Openings of spring
woolens and wOrsteds are under way
and buyers are being attracted by fay
orable prices, some substantial bust
ness being placed by several large
manufacturers of clothing.
