TREND IS BETTER
Trade Reviews Take Optimistic View
Of Conditions IN the Mercan-
tile Field.

New York; G. Dun & Co.'S week
" review Of trade said:
A variety of conflicting de, slop-
ments affect trade conditions, among
them the passage Of the Canadian re-
ciprocity bill, unsettiement over the
outcome Of the negotiations touching
adjustment Of affairs in Morocco, and
the decision BY the Interstate com
merce commission IN the Spokane rate
and similar cases. These influences,
however, are mainly of importance in
their relations to the future. OF more
immediate interest, the excellent pro-
gress Of the cotton crop toward ma
turity holds first place.
Iron and Steel.
Moderate improvements mark con-
ditions in iron and steel, although in
! Eastern territory pig iron buying is OF
restricted volume. The best showing
is IN finished steel products.
Cotton Goods.
The primary cotton goods markets
are very quiet. Forward ordering is
confined to specialties and fancies.
Jobbers are restrained by cotton crop
conditions and are awaiting the result
of tailors' Inventories. Shipments are
light, but still show good gain over
last year.
Shoes and Leather.
The footwear market continues slow.
Visiting buyers III Boston are cautious
about buying ahead and do not place
the number of new orders anticipated.
Sentiment Changing for the Better.
Bradstreet's letter said:
Sentiment as to the future seems to
be undergoing change for the better,
even though number of reports con-
tinue to tell of quiet business and eau
ton as to distant buying. While mid
summer quiet still prevails in many
lines, the vacation period is passing.
and already some travelling statesmen
are back on the road. They have met
with fair success, and moreover fewer
cancellations are noted from sections
where the crop outlook earlicr APP
peared to be gloomy, while some rein
statements of orders previously held
up are noted. Withal there is enough
irregularity to divest the favorable re-
ports OF absolute uniformity. For one
thing, retail trade, though improved
8 trifie by cooler weather, is not slim
ulated very much by clearance sales.
Collections are not better than fair,
at best, and a number Of centers re-
port considerable slowness.
Business Failures.
Business failures In the United
States for the week ending July ~
were 23S, against 239 last week, 200 in
Che like week of 1910, 223 in 1909, 275
in 1908, and 142 In 1907.
Business failures in Canada for the
week number %, which compares with
a like number for last week and Al in
the corresponding week in 1910.
The Export Trade.
Wheat, including flour, exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week ending July 81, aggregate 2,514..y
204 bush, against I,676,505 bush last
week and 1,246,743 bush this week last
year. For the four weeks ending July
~ exports are 7,S39,067 bush, against
5,048,013 bush in the corresponding PEE
Rod last year. Corn exports for the
week are 350,098 bush, against 534,521
bush last week and 315,831 in 1910.
For the four weeks ending July 81
corn exnorts are 2,759,027 bush, against
1 29S.471 bush last year.
