Aug. Bradstreet's Finan- clal Review will say to-morrow: In point of activity the stock market showed but little improvement this week. It con- tinued to be narrow and in the main dull, while professional trading and manipulation by pool interests were apparently responsible for most of the transactions. The tone of the market was better, however, the change in this respect becoming more apparent on Fri- day. Some slight increase in the amount of | commission orders accompanied this move- ment, though on the whole the public scems to be still keeping out of Wall street, except as investors, there being a steady demand for bonds and considerable absorption of dividend- paying stocks. The light offerings of securi- ties constitute one of the features of the sltu- ation. In fact, in the early part of this week it was the absence of any pressure to sell vhich maintained prices, ‘even when obuving power was lacking. Operators have found that the bear side s nmow unprofitable and It was noted that large Western interests, which were acilve in depressing stocks for some time back, have now changed thefr position. The large earnings which are reported by the raflronds, as a rule, seem to have aided in creating ‘a bellef that the damage to th: ccrn crop will not have any serious effects on the traffic and avenues of the roads, at least un- til October or November, when new corn would begin to move. There has, therefore, naturally been a reaction from the pessimistic views which recently prepailed about crop conditions, the large whekt exports and the generally better reports from the agricultural States aiding this tendency. The situation as regards the steel workers’ strike also seemed to take a bullish phase, though at the be- ginning of the week the success of the Amalgamated Assoclation fn inducing the men at Joliet and Milwaukee to violate their con- tracts and join in the strike caused renewed % | uneasiness and some support from the Insid- ers was needed to keep the United States Steel stocks steady.. The feeling that the strike would either be called off or collaps: affected not only the steel stocks, but the railroad list as well. I | *- * Bradstreet’s on Trade. e L NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—Bradstreet’s to-mor- row will say: Evidence multiplies that the tide of trade has turned and that it is now setting strongly in .the direction of an enlarged business at steady or higher prices. Crop improvement, particularly In the Central West and the Mississippl Valley, has been the mainspring of the more cheerful tone of advices and en- larged fall operations at such cities as Chi- cago, St. Louis and Kansas City. Even from the so-called drought-stricken corn belt come advices of a quite salisfactory business, in some Instances reports being-of a larger job- bing trade than in the corresponding period a year ago. The notable strength of cotion, partly, however, the resuit of real or assumed crop damage, has been the active feature in the betterment of Southern trade adyices. At the great Eastern ceniers distribution is going forward in as good, il not better, volume than a _year -ago. Prices, except for some irregularity in the cereals, have been generally quite steady. Wheat was weak early on Increased supplies afloat, enlarged receipts at the Northwest and technical market conditions favoring a d cline, but strengthened later on continued poor crop ‘reports from abroad, fairly large clear. ances, although not equai to last week, and general confidence in present or better prices DLeing maintained. Corn has sympathized largely with wheat, though weakening on its owi account on better crop advices {rom the States cast of the Missiesiypl, where timely rains have falien. Net changes for the week, are slight. Some hog products, particularly’| lard, have sympathized with the strength of corn. Cotton goods have been rather irregular, but it s to be noted that talk of a reduction in wages and a consequent strike in Fall River Pas been practically abandoned. and the close of the week finds print cloths firmly held, while other cotton goods are quite steady, though not active at first hands. Wool and woolen goods are former on active buying by and advices that the new clip in_the West bas been pretty well cleaned up. Boston and Philadeiphia alike report activity in the raw material, without, however, any actual ad vance in prices. Woolen mills are fully e ployed on fall orders, while a liberal busine: has been booked for spring delivery. Iron and steel show little change, acces- sions to the strikers in the case of the leading tube works of the country having been tal- anced by the reopening of ‘‘stuck’” mills in the Pittsburg district. Tin plates and sneets are scarce and hard to get and an order for 50,000 boxes at §7 per box was refused this week at Pittsburg. Chicaga iron and steel Jobbers are reported besieged by buyers. Building material is quite active, although the steel strike interferes with progress at some centers. Lumber stocks are very gener- ally small and full prices are obtained for de- sirable lots. Sugar is lower and rather irreg- ular. but the decline In this product and in flour and tin are the only important decreases noted for the week. Leather and kindred trades are active at most markets. Wheat, including flour, exports for the week aggregate 6,606,959 bushels, as against strong, the manufacturers E 409,701, buslieln Jaxt week.(the feeord stotal; | an 695,168 bushels in the week last vear. Wheat exports July 1 to date (elght weeks), aggregate 50,559,321 bushels, as against 22.- 610,146 _bushels last season. Business troubles show no increase, th fail- ures for the week numbering 162, as against 178 last week; 135 in this week a_year ago; 154 in 1809; 172 in 1898, and 210 in 1897 Canadian fallures for the week number 24 as against 25 last week; 29 a vyear ago: 28 in 1899; 27 in 1898, and 39 In 1897. * LN IV - R LN e Dun’s Review of Trade. i ; * # NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—R. G. Dunn & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say: Though there are some drawbacks, notably the labor troubles in the iron and steel industry, is of well sustained volume, to which fact payments through the country’s clearing houses, rallroad earnings gnd the strength of prices of staple and pértly —manufactured merchandise offer ample testimony, Except in certain branches of the textile mar- Kkets, sellers of merchandise have an advantage over buyers and distribution s as large as stocks will permit. The Amalgamated Assoclation of Iron, Steel and Tin Plate Workers succeeded in enlisting the sympathy of other workmen, with the re- sult that the output of merchant bar and wire rods Is curtailed to the extent of about 40,000 tons monthly. Bevond this defection, wage earners in allied branches of the steel industry have retused to break their contracts. Many idle mills resumed durinz the past wesk, and even in the tin piate region there is a moderate output. Plates have begun to arrive from abroad and prices in the London market sharp- ly advanced. Hoop and sheet mills_increased ‘production daily, and there is no loss in the rail division, but some anxiety is felt regard- ing supplies of cotton ties, as the picking sea- son has begun in many States. Exceptional activity is still the rule at shoe shops and promises to continue .for some months, One of the most satisfactory signs is the evi- dence that little summer stocks will have to be carried over. Sole leather continues remarkably strong, union backs gaining another cent, while there is a splendid demand for heml both for domestic use and export. Belting advanced and kangaroo leather is much higher. Hides are without change in price and selling freely. Slightly better terms asked for staple woolen and worsted goods In no way diminished the volume of sales, and the lightweight season promises to be one of activity. In heavy weights there is also noticed greater interest on the part of buyers than is customary at this late date. These improved conditions in the manufacture give a tone to raw wool despite the heavy arrivals at Eastern markets of the new clip. After a season of dullness at elght cents a pound. cotton suddenly developed considerable animation and strength. The chiet influence was unsatisfactory weather in Texas, although there was also aid in the speculative market from covering of the large short interest out- standing. Liverpool quickly responded to better prices here. There was further support in the failure of any agreement regarding wage reduc- tion at Fall River, as a strike would assuredly have followed and’ consumption of the raw ma- terial been materfally curtailed.. Decided inter. est is shown in fall ‘goods, the fall trade being well occupied. In lines exportad to China there is a fair movement. Grain quotations eased off somewhat during the week, though the net decline was small, Corn is still close to the highest price since 1882, even with a host of imnortant Influences militating _against such inflated figures. Weather conditions steadily improve, making the putlook bright for late planted corn. For- eign customers have been driven away by ex- orbitant prices to the benefit of Russia and Argentina, and Atlantic exnorts for three weeks aggregated only 1,862,589 hushels, against 7,636,548 bushels last vear, and 12,720,027 bushels two vears ago. Meanwhile, interior receipts steadily exceed those of a vear ago, indicating that farmers have large stocks carried over from previous excessive yields. Nevertheless prices remain above sixty cents. The slight re- action in wheat is explained by the decrease in Atlantic shipments to 4,823,735 bushels, against 7,252,526 bushels In the previous week. Com- pared with the exports of 1,670,817 bushels last | year, and 2,795,887 bushels two years ago, how- ever, there appears a phenomenal gain. Pa- cific exports are still retarded by labor troubles, and the movement will be striking once started. Failures for the week number 205 in the United States, against 171 last year, and thirty- five in Canada. against twenty-nine last year.

The market opened easy on disappointing cables, Septem- ber %@%c down at 70%c. Selling for the out- side account influenced a small selling move- ment by the bear contingent. When some of them attempted to cover a little later the market suddenly ran up to 70%c. This proved the best price of the day, .and there was scarcely a moment during the remainder of | the scssion when the early short sellers could not have covered at a profit. Outside liquida- tion and the corn weakness were bear factors and Ssgtemher worked down to 70c. The close ‘was weak, %c under yesterday at 70@70%c. Corn gave an exhibition of its dependence upon _ speculative support and showed = how insufficient an undoubtedly strong situation could be when speculators relax their efforts to boost prices. ‘The feature of the day's trade was the large quantity for sale on.out- o ‘orders. Heavy Argentine shipment was a bear factor. The close was weak, Septom. ber ic lower at G5@i5He. The oats market naturally turned weak in sympathy with the corn market. Liquidation was both for the country and local account. September closed %c down at 34%e. Trade in provisions was moderately active. Prices at the opening were slightly irregular and a slight decline followed in sympathy with the surrounding weakness.

Harrison's circular says: “‘During the week there have been two arrivals of coal from Brit- ish Columbia, 7541 tons; four from Washington, 11233 tons; one from Australia, 4078 tons: one from New York, 344 tons; total, 23,744 tons. The amount received this week is about equal to the quantity we would consume if all our factories were running full blast. At the same time it is somewhat in excess of our present requirements. The steamers carrying coal from British_Columbia and Washington are making much better time discharging than they did several days ago, evidencing that there must be some leaks among the union laborers, or their places are being substituted by men coming from the interior. As most of the de- liveries of steam coal are off shore, very little delay Is being caused, as barges, etc., are read- ily procurable. Whén our present labor dis- turbances are settled there will be no difficulty in getting fuel expeditiously shipped to meet all our urgent requirements, as steamers are Freight rates on coal from Great Britain and Australia show a stif- fening tendency.
