WEEKLY REVIEW w OF TRADE
Adpces Are More Optimistic and Improved Sentiment
Is Reflected in Expansion in Volume of Business.
Some lrregularity Still in Evidence, but
Outlook Is Promising.

| New York. June 5.-Dun's review to.
morrow will say:
"Advices from the leading commercial
and industrial centers are more optimis-
tic and the improved sentiment is re.
| fiected in some expansion in the volume
Of trade. Recent favorable weather has
afforded retailers an opportunity to re-
! duce accumulated stocks of merchandise
and both jobbing and wholesale depart
ments consequently have benefited. Par
| ticularly favorable dispatches are re-
ceived from New England, where mills
and factories are more actively en-
ployed.
| In leather, conditions display some
improvements although concessions in
prices still are noted There is a heal
thier tone to the drygoods market and
business in various departments is quite
large.
More orders have been booked by
manufacturers of stable cotton goods and
quotations in new business are more sat
isfactory. A better. inquiry is noted for
| wool which has lost none of its former
strength.
"The best feature Of the iron and steel
situation is the recent buying. of pig
iron by leading cast iron pipe interests.
it being estimated that 100000 tons were
involved. A further curtailment Of pro-
duction is indicated. In regard to cop
per, the demand has been so dull that
quotations have been forced to lower
levels although the leading producers are
still maintaining electrolytic at H1-4
cents.
There was a good attendance this
week at the special sales of wash goods,
white goods and other summer special
ties and buying was xsteady. Many of
the goods were offered at reduced prices
to clean up stocks There has been an
upward trend to the primary market on
cottons. owing to an increased demand
and the rise in the cost Of raw ma
terial.
District quietness has prevailed in
many lines and competition from abroad
is. becoming a factor Of increasing I'M
portance."

ployed; crop conditions have improved,

Is heavier; while the outlook favors a
record tonnage in the winter wheat sec
| tons, and country banks in that region
are borrowing funds with which to move
the crops
On the other hand. finished steel takes
tone principally from sentiment and not
from any actual growth in business; en-
pioyment Is irregular. though calls for
harvest hands are numerous; coal mining
In various fields has been suspended
Country trade Is quiet as befits the sea-
son, but II crop prospects are even fairly
wen maintained interior distribution will
be heavy.
The stock market is inclined toward
nrmness, but it is of a speculative char
acter, with rumors of the likelihood of
higher freight rates being granted to
railways acting as a stimulus to profess
sional buying. At the same time some
observers are disposed to think the mar
ket Is displaying Creeping" strength.
Foreign trade shows a continuance Of

the result of the great destruction Of
