REPORT ON BUSINESS
Midsummer Dizziness in Trade
Said to Be Less Pronounced
Than It Was.

New York, July 26.-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
Trade and industry are still mark

vacation season and the progress Of
The leading crops near to maturity. A
number Of buyers are in the leading
markets. but their operations are gov
erned by conservatism pending clearer
views OF crop returns.
Reports as to the fall trade outlook
are optimistic in the southwest and
central west, II the outlook in the
northwest is fairly cheerful. Clearance
sales stimulate final distribution OF
summer goods, though results are still
hardly up to anticipation.
Industrial reports point to quiet in
most lines. Iron trade journals report
some prospective takings of supplies by
shipbuilders n other manufacturers
along the lakes. The leather market ID
quiet. Eastern shoe manufacturers re-
port small reserve orders on hand. The
clothing trade Ia quiet.
In the flour milling trade it is noted
that foreign orders are not numerous.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending July q
were 215, against POP last week, 239 in

Midsummer dullness is less pro-

departments of the trade, and as the
leading markets are gradually relieved
of some Of the difficulties with which
they have been beset-crop uncertain
ties, price inconsistencies and other
disturbing elements-a broader demand
develops. There is still much idle cot
ton machinery in New England, and
a W weeks shutdown Is scheduled for
August, but curtailment Is forcing q
recovery from the low price levels, and
there Is less pressure to liquidate
stocks. Some substantial business "a

while hides have recovered from the
low point, large accumulations having
