As for the fall and winter outlook, however, the best In industrial affairs the outlook is certainly satisfactory. The iron and steel situation is still largely a strong one, but iso- lated samples of weakness are in sight. The raillway situation is one of the best in years, and the outlook as to tonnage is a flat- tering one, marred only by the prospect of car shortages later on reducing or curtailing in- dustrial operations. Fiscal year earning re- turns are exceptionally good, and it is prob- able that taken as a whole the railroad earn- ings for the half year will exceed those of the same period of 1901, despite reduced anthracite conl car earnings. Cotton has weakened quite steadilly on good growing crop conditions, though rain and flood damage reports from Texas helped to steady prices on some _days. Dry goods trade reports are quiet. Spring styles in woolens opened this week are shown | H with advences on last season. Wool, though quiet, is steady, and higher grades are held | several cents per pound higher than last year. | Leather is in better demand. New business in pigiron for 1903 Is still of good volume, but not so active as earlier. The 1901 record of building will be surpassed this year. Lumber is stronger and higher at the West, and is recovering from summer dullness | at_the East. i Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending July 31, agEregate 4,388,534 bushels, | against 3,980,069 last week and 6,463,391 in this Wheat exports since July 1 aggregate 18, 153,849 bushels, against 26,201,038 bushels last_season. | Business fallures for the week ending July | 31 number 168, as against 178 last week, 160 in this week last vear, 178 in 1000, 136 in | 1899 and 189 in 1808. *- Dun’s Review of Trade. B NEW YORK, Aug. 1L—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade will say: Aside from heavy rains in Texas, the week's | crop mews is encouraging. Manufacturing | plants are well occupied as a rule, fron and | wear. Fuel scarcity is still causing delay, al- though coke ovens are surpassing all previous figutes of ountpui, and bituminous mines are vigorously operated. At most points retail trade is active and preparations continue for heavy fall sales, while spring lines are opened with good results. Railway earnings thus far available for July show a gain of 3.3 over 1901 and 20.8 per cent over 1900. With business in sight for at least a year the leading departments of the fron and steel industry may properly be considered prosper- ous. Hides have made further sensational vances, Colorado stcers reaching record prices. Grain prices declined sharply as the month of speculative manipulation drew to a close and legitimate trading resumed a more normal ad- new high Meats have shown a tendency to seek slightly lower quotations, but light receipts and higher quality do not promise any extensive reduction in the immediate future. #* % New York Grain and Produce. = NEW YORK, Aug. 1.—FLOUR—Recelpts, 16,745 barrels; exports, 12,195 barrels; market quiet, but trifle steadier, WHEAT—Receipts, 128,756 bushele; exports, 15,085 bushels; spot, firm; No, 2 red, T6%c elevator; No. 2 red, 7T%e f. o, b. afloat; No. 1 Northern Duluth, '813%c £. o. b. afioat; No, 1 Return- ing confidence in speculative circles led to more aggressive bull action and advanced | prices sharply, belped by unsettled weather in ithe Northwesi and strength in corn.

September closed strong, ¢ up, at 3 Wheat was (nclined toward weakness only momentarily at the opening on weak cables, large receints and zood weather. Fair cover ing and local buying, influenced largely by the strength of coarse grain, started a good upz turn from the long-continued slumps, and prices made good net gains. ‘Trade was not particularly active, nox was it large, for offer- ings were not free at any time. Crop advices were generally favorable. The export demand was slow. September started W@dc lower to a shade up at 69%c to 69%e, advanced to T0%c and closed firm, 3%@%sc up, at 70 cents.

Green, The demand for Potatoes is gradually im- proving and as receipts continue light. the market has a better tone. Supplies, however, are still liberal and orders for shipping are small and few. Onions are moving slowly at the low prices. Vegetables showed little variation over pre- vious prices. Tomatoes were firmer, althcugh prices were unchanged, dealers having suc- ceeded in cleanirg up the heavy accumulation of poor stock.

Pdultry and Game. . No more Poultry came in from:the Western States, but the market was well supplied with Californian. The demand was light and only good stock sold well. Most of the offerings were of poor quality and met with slow sale. Hare and Robbits were in light receipt and cleaned up promptly.

The weakness in Butter continues, and 23c is now the practical top of the market, though fancy creameries in solid condition, unaffected by hot weather, 2€c in a small way. Stocks, while not partic- ularly heavy, are vather more than the mar- ket calls for at the moment. Cheese rules firm, with moderate stocks. Opinions differ as to Egss, Those dealers whose floors are fairly cleaned up quote a mod- erately steady market, while those who are car- ying liberal supplies are quoting a decline of 1c, naming 25c as the top of the market. The general feeling, however, is weak.

Receipts of Fruit from the river were less liberal than on the preceding day, about one- half as much being received. The canners cleaned up most of the Peaches in bulk and the local trade for baskets was more active. Plums and Prunes in baskets were dull, mqst of the offerings being overripe. The canners bought some Green Gage Plyms at $1250 per ton. Apricots in bulk were in free supply and the | canners were backward buyers. Occasional sales of strictly choice were. reported at $20 per_ton, but the general run of offerings sold within ' the quoted range. -Plums, Prunes, Peaches apd Apricots in small packages con- tinued in Reavy supply and dull. Fontajnebleau Grapes were offering freely and sold slowly. Seedless were in limited sup- ply and sold promptly. Muscats and Black Ferraras appeared and sold at $1 25 and §1 per crate, respectively. Figs continued scarce and sold_ readity. - Changes in Berries were slight. Blackberries were the most plentiful on the list and surplus stock went to the camners at-2c per Ib. Some choice offerings from Santa Clara County sold at $5 per chest. Receipts of Currants are_steadily decreasing. Watermelons were a little easier under large supplies. Cantaloupes and Nutmegs met with a steady inquiry at slightly improved prices. There were no changes in Citrus Fruits. Of- ferings of ripe Bananas were limited, but the demand was very light. Two cars.came in from New Orleans. RASPBERRIES—$5@S per chest. STFAWBERRIES—4j¢c per grawer for worths and $3@5 per chest for Malindas. LOGANBERRIES—$4@6 per chest, BLACKBERRIES—$3@4 per chest.

Dried Fruits, Nuts and Raisins. The situation remains about the same. The New Yerk market for Prunes is ruling very firm, with a slow but steady improvement in prices, apd Apricots and Peaches are aiso quoted steadier there. In fact, the talk in Dried Fruits is stronger throughout the East than on this coast, there being a certain bear influence here due to the extensive short sales made some time ago, which will compel the ts, “barrels, | fast as | still occasionally command | 'AUCTION SALES A P = Carload gentle driving horses just arrived, also some good roadsters.
