R0GRE88IS SLOW
But Confidence Is Returning in
the Commercial World.
v
AIDED BY GOOD CROroUTLOOK
Labor'DIsturbances the Most Unfav
orable Factors in the Industrial
Situation at the Present
Time.
NEW YORK, July 29. Dun's Review of
Trade tomorrow will ear: Confidence appears
to be returning; despite a large addition to the
army of unemployed. Labor disturbances are
the most unfavorable factors In. the Industrial
and commercial situation at the present time,
curtailing the output of a few much-needed
products, and reducing the demand for all
commodities. Aside from this adverse Influ
ence, the situation, has Improved, although
progress Is slow and frequently Interrupted.
Another -week has put wheat and ootton beyond
danger, and brought other crops nearer ma
turity. Dealers are providing for the future
a little more freely, and in several Important
branches of Industry orders come forward In
greater b"lk. Owing to special conditions, the
leading branches of manufacture do not make
uniform progress, complications as to supplies
of raw material making the current situation
particularly puzzling at the textile mills and
shoe shops.
Darnings for the railways thus far reported
for July are only 2.7 per cent less than last
year.
While the tone of the packer hide market Is
naturally very strong, on account of the packing-house
6trlko, there is no activity, tanners
failing to perceive any advantage in making
purchases when deliveries are a uncertain.
Foreign hides arrive slowly, and are In brisk
request.
Failures this week numbered 220 in the
United States, against 100 last year, and 18
.in Canada, compared with 10 a year ago.

INDUSTRIAL DISTURBANCES.
Strikes In Packlng-Houseg and Cotton Mills
and Probably in Mines.
NEW YORK. July 29 Bradstreefs will to
morrow say: More activity is noted at a few
Western centers, but Fall trade Is slow to as
sume form, pending assurance as to crop re
sults and a settlement of existing Industrial
disturbances. Crop conditions are. on the
whole, favorable, though Irregularity In sec
tions prevents generalization. Fall Inquiry
and shipments of goods are livening up at the
W est. and are expected to become active early
In August. The movement of'Winter wheat to
market, somewhat delayed this year, has be
gun in earnest. Coincident Improvement In
collections is shown at some centers, and the
demand for money from the country has In
creased. The movement jf currency to move
the crops has assumed good proportions this
week. Advices from some Western markets
point to more doing In Fall dry goods, shoes
and clothing. Good crop prospects have fa
vorable influence on Southern trade. Trade
at Eastern markets is still rather quiet. Wool
Is quiet, though still firm, with medium grades
relatively in best demand.
On the Pacific Coast. San Francisco reports
a light trade at present, but good Fall busi
ness is expected. Export business Is affected
by war complications. Tho salmon pack will
be disappointingly small on the entire Pacific
Coast
Unrest In Industry Is a feature of import
ance The meat strike has reopened at leading
Western packing-houses, and there Is danger
of sympathetic strikes embroiling railroad em
ployes In addition to tho 20.000 meat-trade
strikers, production of print-cloths at Fall
River has come to an almost complete stop,
owing to the .strike of 25,000 mill bands against
reaucuon. in addition to these, the anthracite
situation and the overstocking of the markets
for coal renders serious disputes between op
erators and miners probable. A general shut
down of all mines Is expected to occur next
week. Involving the idleness of 80,000 men.
Other lines of tndustry are rather quiet. Iron
notably so. pending a clearer view of future
requirements.
Business failures in the United States for
the week ending July 28 number tti, against
100 last week, 100 In the like week In 1003. I
In Canada failures for the week number 17,
as against 10 last week, and 17 in this week.
a. year ago.
Wheat, including flour, exports for the week
ending July 28. aggregate 1,018,265 bushels,
against 1.281.501 bushels last week, 3,181.442
bushels this week last year. From July 1 td
date, the exports aggregate- 5,180,174 bushels,
against 12,000.024 bushels last year.
Confidence Is Growing-.
NEW YORK. July 29. The advices received
this week from special agents of the Interna
tional Mercantile Agency at the leading cen
ters of the country are In the main eatlafac
tory. The spirit of optimism Is growing, and
confidence in a good Fall and Winter business
Increases from week to week. Current activ
ity In tho different Industrial lines Is not great,
but It Is better than It was a year ago, with
the very wholesome Influence of a faith In
better things. A decided reaction has occurred
in the movement of stocks, but this Is not due
to any material change In business prospects.
There has been good growing weather for
the crops, which are approaching harvest "un
der continued Improved conditions. In the
Spring wheat sections of tho Northwest some
rust has been discovered which will reduce i
the yield. Harvesting Is In progress In nearly
all the leading Winter wheat states, and the
results are better than farmers thought they
would be two weeks ago. It Is beginning to
be believed, though, that the total yield will
leave a small exportable surplus, and that the
price of wheat and flour during tho next 12
months will be high.

Wheat Prices Again Advance at San .Fran

wheat market had a complete return of
strength. December rose to and closed at
$1.04U. and No. 1 to choice spot shipping at
$1.37 to $1.40, theso being the highest prices
of the season. The strong statistical position
of wheat In this state, and the advance In dis
tant markets was the main causes of Improve
ment. Oregon blueetem and Walla Walla
wheat, which are deliverable on merchants'
exchange contracts under the amended rules,
may come In handy before the season la over.
Barley and oats were firmer. Flour was ac
tive and well-sustained, with a good Oriental
demand. Feed was firm. Hay was very
weak.
Selected peaches. Bartlett pears, plums and
grapes were in good demand for Puget Sound
ports. The steamer leaving today took large
shipments. Such stock brought a. premium
over regular market rates, which were easy
for ordinary offerings, the latter being In
heavy supply. Peaches were very weak.
Citrus fruits were neglected. Bananas were
dull and weak.
Arrivals of river potatoes were again large,
but sales were active at low prices. A mod
erate shipping damand for tho Southwest was
the feature. The first shipment of river sweets
arrived and brought 3c Yellow onions are
etlll declining. Tomatoes were offering at 25c
to 40c per big box,, with few takers. Other
vegetables were weak.
Fine butter was steady, but ordinary grades
were weak under unpreccdentedly large ar
rivals. Cheese and eggs were easy. Receipts.

STOCK PRICES REACT
DOWNWARD TENDENCY IN NEW
YORK MARKET.
Dealings Smaller and Fluctuations
Narrower Than Usual Effect of
Drop in British Consols.
NEW YORK, July 29. Stocks reacted again
today, but the market became much quieter.
Dealings were decidedly smaller and fluctua
tions much narrower, marking the declining
'oscillation due to an approach to a stationary
condition after tho more violent disturbance of
the earlier part of the week. The action of
the market today suggested less recurrence of
anxiety over the factors which brcko prices
Wednesday than an undoing of some over
hasty commitments made yesterday In the at
tack upon the shorts In the market. Tho re
newed decline In British consols, however, was
not without effect upon sentiment. This ef
fect was more pronounced In our wheat mar
ket than in stocks, and led to a sharp advance
In wheat. The strength there was also at
tributable In part to reports of Inferior quality
In the Winter wheat being harvested, and to
rather persistent damage reports from the
Spring wheat belt in the Northwest. Tho cot
ton market today was not free from damage
reports, and these had some natural effect on
stocks.
There was some early resistance to- the
downward tendency, which centered chiefly In
St. Paul, that stock rising at one time a large
fraction over last night. United States Steel
Preferred yielded early to the selling pressure
on continued discussion of the quarterly re
port. Other news bearing on that stock was
the reported shutting down of mills for an In
definite period at Lorain for lack of orders
and a reported cut In tin-plate prices. Union
Pacific seemed to suffer some Ill-effects from
the declaration of only the regular dividend on
' the stock, although It has not appeared that
any serious expectation was entertained of an
Increase. The labor situation Is the subject of
some anxious consideration In speculative
circles. This anxiety was Increased today by
the projected conference among anthracite
mine leaders to consider an extensive strike
against grievances. Large reduction of work
ing force was said to be In progress by one of
the great car-construction companies. The
passing of quarterly dividends by some of the
New England cotton mills kept In sight the
unpromising condition In that department of
Industry. A small bank failure In Wisconsin,
following two other failures at different points
earlier In the week, renewed the unpleasant
Impression of that condition which has been
dominant for several weeks. Subtreasury op
erations havo yielded less to the banks than
for some tlmo past, and today a payment of
a Central Pacific note to tho Government for
nearly $3,000,000 resulted In a credit balance
for the Subtreasury at the clearing-house of
over $1,700,000. The better showing for the
Government revenues, which reduces the
banks' immediate gains, reduces any prob
ability of the withdrawal of Government de
posits from the banks to replenish the Gov
ernment's working balance. Currency has
continued to arrive In large volume from the
Interior, and again In cash of upwards of
$5,000,000 Is foreshadowed by the estimates.
The market closed steady, but without effective
recovery.
Bonds were easier. Total sales, par value,
$1,655,000. United States new 4s registered
advanced s per cent on call.

BULGE IN WHEAT.
Several Strong factors Causo Advance
at
Chicago.
CHICAGO. July 29. Sentiment la the wheat
pit was .decidedly bullish at the start, as tho
result of an attempt on the part of the shorts
to cover July sales. The cause of the urgent
demand was a report that a largo quantity of
wheat In private elevators, which shorts had
expected to deliver on July contracts, had
been rejected by the Inspection department.
This necessitated bidding for the grain In the
pit. There was little for sale, and. In con
sequence, the price was forced over lc above
yesterday's closing quotation. The action of
the July option gave support to the distant
deliveries, September opening at a gain of Uc
to c at 89o to 80HC Toward the end of
the first hour tho market eased somewhat,
September being down to 8989c The reac
tlon, however, was short-lived.' Alarm over
the European political situation, allayed early
In the day by a rise In English consols, was
stirred up afresh by a subsequent sharp de
cline In those securities. About the same time
damage reports from the Southwest and North
west began coming In. causing additional
anxiety among shorts. A report that North
west country mills can take all the new wheat
offered from now on caused renewed buying.
An official forecast of thunder storms Increased
the bullish tone, as did also numerous advices
from Kansas City, claiming a decrease In re
ceipts at that point. On the bulge that fol
lowed, September advanced to 00c. but part
of the gain was again lost on realizing. Tho
market, however, closed strong, with Septem
ber at 90Ke90?ic
Sfcrength of wheat was the main factor af
fecting the corn market. The market closed
at the highest point of the day. September
closed at 494,c
The feature In trading In oats was an ad
vance of lr In the prtco of the July option.
September closed at 33Vl33Xc
Provisions took on a fair strength, owing to
moderate purchases by brokers for the ac
count of prominent packers. Trading, how
ever, was still very quiet. At the close Sep
tember pork and ribs were each up 1215c
and lard was7c higher.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
