New York. July 22-Bradstreet's re-
view Of the state OF trade tomorrow Will
say:
The trade and industry are stlll mark
ing time, awaiting the passing of the va
cation season and the progress OF the
leading crops nearer TO maturity. a fair
number of buyers are in the leading mar
kets. but their operations are governed
by conservatism pending clearer views
of crop outturn.
Reports as to the fall trade outlook
are optimistic in the Southwest and the
Central West. and the outlook in the
Northwest is fairly cheerful. Clearance
sales stimulate final distribution of sum
mer. goods. though results are still hard
~ UP to anticipations
aThe new winter wheat crop has not
yet moved in great volume. though its
influence is visible in the wheat mar
ket in apparently retarding the advance
in prices OF that cereal based on poor
crop reports from Europe, especially
Russia and France, and advices Of close
TO minimum estimates OF spring wheat
outcome In the American and Canadian
Northwest.
Trade ar the South is quiet, await
ing a clearer view there Of the results of
excessive moisture in the Eastern belt
Collections range about fair. Reports
from national banks point TO a check
having been offered 10 low expansion
after a year Of marked growth In this
respect.
weather conditions for the week have
not materially changed. dry weather be
ing generally reported In the grain belts
while moisture has continued to be ex'
cessive IN the eastern half Of the cotton
belt. The absence Of rainfall in the
West has been favorable 10 the finishing
Of the winter wheat harvest. which i
turning out better than expected, but OF
the other hand. has induced the begin
ming cutting of spring wheat.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Outlook for the Fall Is Good, Say Both Dun and
BradStreet
BradStreet.

New York. July Pr G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade tomorrow VIII
say:
Midsummer dullness is less pronounced
in both wholesale and retail departments
OF trade, and as the leading markets
are gradually relieved of some Of the
difficulties with which they have been
beset-crop uncertainties. price inconsist-
eneies. and other disturbing elements-a
broader demand develops.
There is still much idle cotton ma
chinery in New England. and a two
weeks shut down is scheduled for Au-
gust, but curtailment is forcing a re-
covery from the low price levels and
there is less pressure to liquidats stocks.
Some substantial business is reported
in woolens and while the Eastern mar
kets for wool continue quiet primary
markets in the West are active and
higher.
Footwear factories. East and West,
are resuming, and trade is much I'M
proved in leather, while hides have re-
covered from the low point. large accu-
mutations having been moved. Further
revislons in some branches OF iron and
steel have induced some trade.
More definite knowledge regarding the
yield Of cotton In the South and wheat In
the West will determine the basis OF man
ufaeturing costs in dry goods on the one
hand. and -four on the other. Flour pro-
duction in the Northwest continues greatly
reduced. With few exceptions indus
trial lines are busy and labor well en-
ployed In nearly all sections Of the eoun-
Try. making for large purchasing power.
Commercial failures this week IN the
United States are 24s. against 2T last
week. Iss the preceding week. and "a the
corresponding week last year. Failures
In Canada number Is. against Is last
week, % the preceding week, and % last
year"
