Reports as to August trade have been almost uniformly favorable, and the records of fail- ures show business mortality to have been con- fined to a low summer minimum. Prices show | persistent strength despite the fact that agri- cultural products, except corn and prime cattle, tend lower.. Rather less disturbance is noted in labor matters. The anthracite trouble still hangs over the situation, but the volume of coal shipments is slowly and steadily increas- ing. Some wage advances are noted in widely separated lines. Collections in the North and West are uniformly good, and some improve- | ment is noted in the South. Jobbing activity is_undiminished in the West, Northwest and Southwest and s of sa factory volume at the East. Dry goods ces, millinery, drugs, hardware, groceriet mand. Leather sales are Bigh at the West, but high trade prices discourage the movement. The advance in cotton is stimulating the cotton Good re-orders are noted in | woolen goods, but spring goods are meeting most_attention. The fuel shortage is pressing on the fron furnaces and now the scarcity of cars and mo- tive power is affecting_the movement of ore | from lake ports to the Pittsburg district. New demand for pig iron is, however, light. Heavy imports of foreign fron and steel have cut down premiums on immediate delivery business. Sales of foreign-made materials are large. Copper s slightly firmer, while tin, is lower. Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending September 4 aggrégate 6,276,209 bushels, against 5,436,530 last week and 4,406,804 in this week last year. Business failures in the United States for the week number 133 as against 140 last week and 169 in this week last year. — e — Dun’s Review of Trade. — ¥ NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—R. G. Dun’s Weekly Review to-morrow will say: Steady progress is reported in trade and industry. Distribution | of merchandise is heavy and a healthy tone Is evident. Domestic conditions continue much better than those existing abroad and home trade received more attention than foreign com- merce. Farm products have appreclated in value owing to less favorable weather and pro- ducers will be fully compensated for any de- crease in quantity by the higher quotations. Earnings of railways during August were 3.6 per cent larger than a year ago and 18.9 per cent In excess of 1900. Better deliveries of coke and liberal receipts of forelgn material have lessened the pressurs in the iron and steel industry, while quota- tions in a few lines have weakened. Domestic demands are not decreasing, much new business having been placed and home consumption will continue to call for imports on a larger scale. New plants are being added to the productive capacity as rapidly as possible, but in railroad equipment, especially steel rails, orders are al- ready placed for much of next vear. Quotations of footwear are fuily maintained at the recent advance. good feature is the urgency for quick shipment, indicating that stocks are low. Leather sells freely at recent advances in quotations, but hides appear to have risen above the views of ners, result- Ing In & quiet markel, Advancing raw ma- terial aroused much anxiety among purchasers of cotton goods and there were numerous in- quiries for forward contracts, but the volume of business was not materially increased, Agricultural conditions are satisfactory, and if the official estimate as to cotton is not ex- mflhfl the ylela‘wfll not be larnr:?ough to thtucm:.(:l.& bn.rdtmly.hlhvnth re- geivts do not e e abnormally heavy move- tof a year ago.

Commission houses bought liberally and there was good support under December options. Much of the talk on the bull side Wwas of the fear of frosts in the Northwest. This was supposed to be the principal cause of the upturn, but steady cables, lighter re- celpts and bad grading helped materially. The sentiment generally was bullish and there was no selling pressure present. After the early bulge the market was inclined to dullness and prices fluctuated narrowly. September soid from 72c to 72%c and closed %o higher at T2H@T2%c. December closed strong, %@%c higher at 68%@08 Eorn had o irge trade early and the mar- ket advanced strongly on general demand in- duced by the weather scare. Some reports had it, however, that there was not much corn to be hurt by frost and the demand soon fell off and prices slumped. September closed a trifle firmer at Y%c advance at 59¢.

Liverpool futures were higher. The Hungarian Minister of Agriculture estimates the world's crop at about 188,000,000 bushels over that of 1901. Advices from the Argen- tine were generally favorable. Chicago advanced lc, with a better class of buying than has been seen for some time, Two months of the new crop year have now passed and 1t has been impossible to get any aceu- mulation of stock at Chicago, as deliveries by farmers have been small and there is a dis- position among the farmers to hold _their stacked wheat. Bradstreet's gave the exports of flour and wheat for the week at 6,276,000 | bushels. This market was steady, with higher futures. CASH WHEAT.

The situation in Butter is not as clear as it has been, and prices for the finest grades are showing’ a wider range, |Some houses are quoting fancy creamery as high as 20c In a very small way, while on the other hand, those | houses who are handling the lion’s share of the goods are offering their best creameries to any- body who wants them at 27c. Of course, under | this state of affairs accurate quotations are well nigh {mpossible. A large retailer can to- day buy for 27c about as fine Butter as a smaller retailer has to pay 28%@20c for, which is an unsatisfactory condition. Cold storage | Butter {8 freely offered at the quotations. There s no further change in Cheese.
