WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Warmer Weather Fapors Retail Trade-Possible
Tariff Revision Keeps Buyers Holding off.

New York, June DR.. @. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade viii say:
"The actual volume Of business con-
tinues below producing capacity, ana
such improvement as is In evidence is
slow; yet the trend is unquestionably
for the better and the movement prom
ises to quicken as the crops approach
near to harvest. Meanwhile underlying
conditions are strong, such as low stocks
of merchandise, the large supplies Of
available credit, and the outlook for
excellent crops, in which Ine interest
OF the business situation chiefly CEN
ters.
"As is customary at this time, varied
assortment of crop rumors appears
every day, and there have been apparent
ly exaggerated reports or damage to
spring wheat, due to lack OF moisture;
this damage, however, Is confined to
small section Of the wheat belt, and
there is an ample margin for deteriora-
ton and still leave a large harvest.
Rains in the cotton belt have materially
improved the outlook for that great
crop. It is noticeable that the most
optimistic trade reports come from those
centers close to the main agricultural
sections.
THE dry goods trade in its various
branches, both cotton and wool, is quiet,
with purchases still made for immediate
necessities only, and yet there Is a better
tone to the market, due to increased
confidence and the knowledge that the
trade as a whole Is, by reason Of the
drastic curtailment in production, in a
strong position to avail itself quickly Of
a turn in the general business situation
such as might be expected to follow the
absolute assurance Of good crops"

predecessor In the cotton region. The

cables win also bring the Bank OF Eng

tomorrow is expected to make a good
showing. because, according to all ap-
pearances, the banks have once more

nected, of course, with the better crop
news.

New York. June a-The fundamental
reason for the advance in prices in the
stock market to-day was no doubt the
strong impression made upon specula-
tive sentiment by the stubbornness with
which prices resisted yesterdays sharp
professional attack. II seemed to be the
case that no liquidation to amount to
anything was produced as the result of
this assault, and from this fair and
almost inevitable inference was that the
underpInnings of the market were pretty
stoutly placed, and that its so-called
technical position was good.
Aside from this the days news was a
good deal more encouraging. Rains that
were heavy in some sections fell in many
scattered portions of the cotton belt.
particularly in Texas, where 1t is as
serted that the drought up to the pres

for this was provided more in private dis
