NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—Bradstreet's to-mor- | row will say: Trade conditions still exhibit | many of the irregularities incident to the tran- sition perfod between midsummer and early fall trades Desplte the hot wave, with its effect on the grows ribution ema. and also because of tl !moffl:mq nd booking of fall orders for dry goods, clothi and hardware at leading Weatern centors g S T s o Ao tione. Prices are not showing the pre¢ipitats declines noted some time ago, and among the .| Progress % | vanced about a_cent, raw material, a great deal hinges on the next month’s business in dry goods circles. It is regarded as certain that with a 11,000,000 bale crop values will be maintained at prices lower, it is true, than the present quotation for raw material, ‘but still high when compared with last or previous years' range. The spring ‘lightweight” season has opened with prices 21.G10 per cent higher than a year ago, and much depends on the attitude of buyers in gulding manufacturers as to purchases of raw material. While the dry goods demand as a whole is still classed as backward for the sea- £on, the hot weather is credited with some of the' responsibility, and the trade attitude as a rule is one of hopeful expectancy. An immense business in steel products s re- ported booked at Pittsburg and Chicago, and steel bars are really firmer with an advance of $4 per ton announced by Western manufactur- ers, who have sold their output up to the close of the year. Pigiron is still rather neglected, but inquiry for this material js really better at the South, largely on export account and fur- nace shut-downs are =0 numerous as to indi- cate an adequate realization of the fact that the root of the evil is in the output of crude | materfal. Current production is claimed to be | the lightest for more than a vear past and fur- | ther announcements of shyt-downs are sched- uled as far ahead as September 1. A signifi- cant feature of the trade is the strength of | structural material. A large quantity of ma- terial is reported needed for railroad renewals, | but steel rails are also nominally unchanged at | $35 per ton. The other metals are dull and tin {18 weak here and abroad at a recession from | last week’s quotations. 2 Wheat, including flour, shipments *for the week aggregate 3,318,760 bushels, against 3,327, 008 last week, 3,616,154 in the correspondins w of 1890, 3,928,606 in 1898, 4,460,519 in 1897 and | 2,635,216 in 1896, From July 1 to date this season wheat exports are 17.887,620. against 125,060 last season and 18,364,728 in 1398-99. s | Dun’s Review of Trade. - | | | * | NEW YORK, Aug. 10—R. G. Dun & Co.'s | Weekly Review of Trade will say: has been made toward a more 1!\&‘2!5 position of business, with a few more | heavy contracts to hold the ground already | Balred; but for a proper interpretation of the | week’s results, one must lock beyond Wall street operations, where more than any other | quarter, the vacation season s leaving its im- press of fnactivity. Speculation is cautious, | but investment holdings are belng increased rather than diminished and operators cannot see that their hesitation on the ground of poll- tics s echoed any more in general business circles than two months ago. Small change appears In railroad stocks, In- | dustrials are §1 higher and traction Issues a | shade lower. Working forces are smaller and | will soon be further reduced, probably for three | weeks, by the closing down of cotton mills in New England, which has been delayed longer | than expected: but our strength is evidence to the world by the over-subscription here of the new British loan of £10,000,000 on about a 3% | per cent basis, of which over half is allotted | to_the American applicants. London sales of 40,000 shares of stocks and some bonds, and American purchases of the new foreign loan, explain why gold goes out in tke face of foreign commerce returns, which show for New York alcne for the week an ex. cess of expcrts over fmports of more than 000,000. Fxports for the week of $12,763,718 were | | i | | | more than double those of the some period of | 1899, and for the vear the in is over $85,000,000, while imports gain vnly §20,000,000. The money market is untroubled by financing of the for- efgn loan, though the volume of new commer- cial loans is well sustained. | | { " Cotton fell so sharply that some recovery oc- 4 | curred in an oversold speculative market and | epot sold at 10c’ when the official report ap- peared, notwithstanditg many indications of | turther reduction in consumption.

Both receipts and exports for the week fell more than a_million bushels below | the same week In 1890. Improvement is slow in | boots and shoes, with only a small percentage | of Eastern shoe factories at work. The textile markets have been free from such features as | marked recent divisions of prices, but price {18 of fair volume. Loss of the Chinese market has put ccarse brown cottons in a bad position, | other grades being less seriously affected. In woolen goods reorders are not up to expecta- tions. Manufacturers show more interest In the wool market, taking fair quantities and seek- ing fewer concessions. The tone {s firmer, though prices are unchanged. Fallures for the week were 177 in the United States, ageinst 126 last vear, and 23 in Canada, against 20 last year. London Market. NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—The Commercial Ad- | vertiser's London financlal cablegram savs: There was some slight Increase of business in the markets here to-day and in the latter part | of the sessidn the tone was motably harder in the closing of contracts by the bears, particu- larly in home rails, Induced by the rumor that the Chinese were suing for peace through Li | Hung Chang.
