GOLDFIELDS,
WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.

New York. Sept. 7.-Dun's Review to-
morrow will say:
Waiting is still the rule in not a
few quarters. though in the main busi-
ness is rather less hesitant and the
advancing season is calculated to
stimulate those branches which have
experienced the usual summer halt
ing.
with lower temperatures, working
conditions are also better, but the en-
largement of manufacturing capacity
does not in all cases assure augmented
outputs, for the labor problem grows
more difficult with the draft in opera
ton, and even where supplies of raw
materials are adequate, the obstacles
in transportation not infrequently i'm
pede their movement to points of des-
t!nation. That many of the mills and
factories continue to run actively on
previous orders, and will be thus en-
gagged for some time to come, is gem
orally known, yet of new contracts
from regular channels there are fewer
on the whole, and purcha sing as the
necessity arises stands out as a more
prominent feature.
After many months of extraordi-
nary demand and great rise of prices,
such symptoms were to be expected,
and it is significant that many buyers
now hold off as far as possible in an
ticipation Of more decisive readjust-
ments in commodity markets, or be-
cause the outlook in this respect is
cloudod.
THE July figures, sS74ooo, 900 not only
are the smallest of any month since
January, 1916, but fall no less than
S2S9, 100000 short of the high record of
January of this year, and are also
fully s70,OoO.0oo under the shipments of
July, 1916. With an ss1 1.0O0,o 900 shrink
age in imports. which dropped to s225,-
100000, the nations aggregate foreign
commerce in July was lighter by s2s3.-
900 than in June, nor did 1t equal
the showing Of July, last year"

LIBERTY loan funds
ARE NOW EXHAUSTED
Money Expected to Be Tight in
Local Markets.

The demands of the United States
Treasury Department have practically
exhausted all the proceeds Of the
g, 2,OoO0o0,o0O liberty loan bond issue
with the exception of about s15O, ,OOO, 900,
which is to be withdrawn.
This became known yesterday when
the Treasury Department issued or
ders 10 all banks and trust companies
having deposits of funds to the credit
of the liberty loan bond issue of 1917
to forward to the regional reserve
banks of their respective districts not
later than September 10 for funds at
once available. Yesterdays call for
deposits on account Of the liberty
bond sale drew about 100000 from
the banks Of Washington.
Indications may be set for tight
money in the local market for some

New York Market.
The following analysis of the New
York market situation was received
late yesterday afternoon by w. B.
Hibbs & Co, from c. B. Chaplin & Co,
their New York correspondents:
with very few exceptions, prices
were lower. The complexion of things
has rot altered materially. Judging by
the borrowing demand for stocks, the
short interest is not unwieldy. Some
moderate support is rendered every
now and then, but stocks acquired in
that manner are invariably liquidated
on the slight rallies. We see no evil
dence of influential accumulation and
still believe that further liquidation
ard lower prices will occur before an
