Slow and Uneven, But Should
Prove Lasting, Weekly
Review Says

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.--Further
progress toward business expansion
marked August, says Dun's Review
today in its weekly review Of busl.
ness.
1.-THE current trade revival ID
still Slow and uneven, says Dnn's, -
but It IL the more wholesome and
promises to be the more lasting
because OF the maintenance Of 6
conservative policy. Factors which
have formed the basis for the better.
ment in domestic conditions. such
as the strengthened financial posi-.
ton OF the farming community and
the improved prospects for economic
recovery in Europe, are supported
by other constructive forces tkat
may conceivably exert a more DO
tent influence in the future.
Changes in Wholesale Orit es this
week were fewer than Of recent
preceding weeks, seventy nine aItera
tons occurring. The margin Of ad
vances over declines was only one
and the downward trend in certain
instances was marked. This was
in grain, the current week brought
Sharp fluctuations, but the main
movement of wheat prices was to
ward a lower level, the markets
being depressed by moro favorably
Canadian crop reports. Corn, how
ever, showed independent strength
owing chiefly to the lateness Of the
chop.
August brought progressive
though gradual improvement In
steel trade conditions. Estimates
place the current production Of the
steel corporation at slightly better
than IS per cent and business is de-
veloping in a way which indicates
that mill schedules will be steadily
increased.
