WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE

New York, Aug. 3.-Dun's Review
will say tomorrow: Further restraints
upon business have been imposed by
the intense heat over a wide area, and
some apprehension of crop damage
has resulted The effect of the ex-
treme temperatures has also appeared
In diminished manufacturing activity.
with curtailed operations at many es-
adjustments. and smaller numbers of
buyers in the shopping districts have
reduced the volume of retail distribu-
tion.
Aside from the torrid weather. prog
Tess has continued impeded by the
uncertainties arising from war condi-
tions. and in some important branches
there is rather more evidence of the
midsummer lull than was manifest
last year.
The strong position OF leading pro-
ducers is illustrated by the steel cor
porations'' unexampled earnings, but in
most industries regular commitments
are more or less restricted by the
present high costs of materials and
by the doubts about prospective price
revisions.
Yielding tendencies In some Of the
principal commodities remain a fea
ture, though this weeks list of whole
sale quotations discloses more ad-
vances than recessions, and the pos
sibility that more definite reaction may
I later be witnessed from some interests
whose needs are we'll covered to de-
fer new engagements for. the future
Yet the extensive and pressing de-
mand from governmental sources
largely Offset the abatement of other
buying. and 1t remains the fact that
most manufacturers are more con-
, cerned with the problem OF keeping
outputs up to requirements than with
the question of adding to accumulated
bookings.
Complaints of the growing shortage
of labor, especially of skilled hands,
are heard in many sections, and at a
few scattered points wage contro-
versies have rendered maintenance of
production increasingly difficult. Re-
ports of improvement in transporta-
ton, however. are now less infrequent,
though the drawbacks are likely to
be intensified as movements of troops
and crops become more general

and a fairly active demand for October. which

fluctuations were irregular.
