RETAIL / RADE
SHOWS some
GAINS
Buyers Still Cautious on For
ward Commitments, Trade
Reviews Says

NEW YORK. July S.-As usual
at this period. several factors have
combined to restrict business &C.
tivities, Dun's review o9 trade says
this week. The seasonal stimuia-
ton Of retail trade has continued,
but there has been the Offset Of
the slowing down In manufacturing
and Wholesale branches that In.
vartably comes at midyear. Holi.
days, vacations and inventorying
have imposed restraint on oper.
attons, while the conservatism that
mas prevailed for many months, and
which has largely reflected political
conditions, is still present. In.
stances are not lacking where de.
nand has been increased by price
concessions, but there is no general
disposition, even after eighteen con-
secutive weeks during which the
main trend of wholesale quotations
has been in a downward direction,
to make important forward com.
nitments.
Despite the relatively small stocks
OF goods in different quarters, most
purchases are for welI-defined needs
only, buyers apparently showing no
anxiety about future supplies. The
sharp curtailment Of output in most
industries has, however, brought a
better balance between production
and consumption, and has had q
strengthening effect on some
markets.
The increased prices for the prin.
ctpal cereals have caused an i'm.
proved feeling in the agricultural
sections Of the West. but the unem.
ployment Of workers at large manu-.
featuring centers, due to the re-
duction in mill operations, has
affected sentiment at those points.
Various Irregularities and uncer-
tainttes still mark the general stu.
alton, and this is not the time of
year to look for any essential change
in conditions.
While trade, crop and industrial
reports are more than ordinarily
irregular, retail and immediate need
Jobbing distribution and crop re.
ports show further Improvement,
whereas industrial conditions are, II
anything, rather less satisfactory,
according to Bradstreet's. There IS,
however, a better tone visible in the
comments ELECTED as to the outlook.
For one thing, retail buying seems
to have been helped by warmer
weather In some, not all, areas by
special sales" and by preparations
for vacations.
In industry, the situation has not
not greatly changed, but the month
OF June saw another perpendiculaI
drop in iron production, whereas
June business In steel was larger
than that of May. increasing the
probability Of q sharp check being
administered to the retrograde move
ment in iron production and prices
The leather trades are dull at the
East, but there Is a shade better
tone in advices from Western cen
ters. Hardware Is selling better. but
lumber Is still rather easy, and
Southern and North Pacific reports
are of reduced production. Building
still remains about the most active
of all industries, with materials
other than lumber in good demand.
