PROGRESS IS GOOD
Trade Situation, as -a Whole,
is Encouraging.
EFFECT OF LABOR TROUBLES
Net Earnings of Railways Jvlake Good
Comparison With Year Ago,
Considering Recent Reports .

NEW YORK, Aup. 12. R. G. Dun & Cos
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Moderate Improvement In midsummer means
more than an. equivalent Increase at any other
season, and the better trade reported, during
the past week Is consequently most encour
aging. Dispatches from all ports of the coun
try are by no means uniform, In some cases
the outlook showing no change, while at a few
points there have been setbacks, but on the
whole, the prosress Is unmistakable.
Two labor controversies are particularly
harmful, but others have been settled; the Fall
Hirer strike 1a partially broken, and several
threatened difficulties have been averted. De
spite eome Injury to Spring wheat, the agricul
tural prospect la very bright, while higher
price promise to neutralize the effect of such
loss In Quantity as occurred. The approach
ing Presidential election Is viewed with more
equanimity than any other contest of recent
y oars, both, in financial and Industrial circles.
Net earnings of the railways are making
favorable comparisons; gross earnings for July
ere but 8.4 percent smaller than In 1903.
Failures for the week were 222 in the
United States, against 174 last week, and 33
In Canada, compared with 22 a year ago.

TRADE STILL CONSERVATIVE,
asea on Crop uncertainty and Labor
Troubles.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12. Brads treet's tomorrow
will eayt
Fall trade expands but slowly, conservatism
based apparently upon crop disappointments or
uncertainties and labor troubles ruling most
lines of distribution. Government figures of
crop conditions. Just issued here, are in the
main xavorable. Predicted reductions In the
Winter-wheat, crop outturn are confirmed, but
are counterbalanced by improvement in other
crops, pointing to a.-general yield of food prod
ucts well above the average. The early pros
pects of a large cotton yield are not materially
changed, but predicted lower prices render
ouyers of cotton goods cautious.
Jobbing trade Is not equal to last year's. In
dustrial conditions are not altogether promis
ing, in view the continuance of the meat
strike, which, by the way. Is Interfering with
the leather and shoe trades. All In all, the
situation may be characterized as still irreg
ular, though the general tone of business and
the outlook is one of confidence. Firmness In
wool prices is still a. feature.
Reports of cuts in prices of steel produats
are current, but good reports come from the
structural trade. Copper has weakened In
price, but tin is slightly higher, 'though not
holding the full advances recently shown.
Business failures for the week Ending August
11 number 167, against 170 last week, and 160
In the like week in 1903. In panada, failures
for the week number 16. as against 25 last
week, and 17 a year ago.
Wheat, including flour, exports for the week
ending August 11 aggregate L2S4.499 bushels,
against 1,378.188 last week. 3,413,191 this week
last year. . From July 1 to date, the exports
aggregate 7,"S4G,771 bushels, against 18.440,444
bushels last year.
FALL THADK PROMISES WELL.
Increased Distribution of Merchandise In
West and South.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Reports to the In
ternational Mercantile Agency from commer
cial centers indicate increased distribution of
merchandise at the West and South, with ex
cellent outlook for a brisk Fall trade. Ad
verse factors, such as strikes and crop dam
age, while curtailing local business in some
parts of the country, have not been generally
effective, interfering little, with business as a
whole. For these reasons the outlook, is- en-'
couraglng, although itrad is apt to remain
quiet until after election, when the outlook
for the Fall will be more discerned.
Conditions In he West are especially satis

SHRINKAGE IN DEALINGS
PARTIAL HALT IN STOCK SPECU-
LATIVE MOVEMENT.
General Disposition to Take Profits
" on Recent Advances Decline
In Pacifies.
,v
NEW YORK, Aug. 12. There was a par
tial halt in the speculative movement today
and avconsiderable shrinkage In the volume
of the dealings. The news of the day offered
no clear explanation of tho hesitation in the
market; but tho disposition was general to
take profits on recent considerable 'advances.
Union Paclflcls opening decline of a. 'point was
effective notice of this tendency and the
drop in Southern Pacific and the fall In the
Metropolitan tractions reinforced. It. - Efforts
were made to divert speculative- interest to
new quarters, and there, were occasional ad
vances here and there of a point or more, but
mo movement iacKea entnusiasm ana was
sot convincing to sentiment. Reading was
chosen for an advance of a point, notwith
standing reports In circulation that a large
curtailment of anthracite production for Au
gust was intended and a total suspension of
output for a large part of September In con
templation. The strength of Amalgamated
Copper resulted In a revival of the repeated
rumors of a settlement of the contentions of
copper imeresu. xne emeiung duuu auu
the lead stocks moved up again on an. awa
kened expectation of the marker of the lead
interests understood to bo under 'negotiation.
News from the crop regions was favorable
and some of the unofficial authorities en wheat
crops disparaged the excessive alarm over
the damage to Spring wheat. The wheat mar
ket itself reflected an unsettlement of the
speculation there based en the damage re-
Dorts. but the reaction in wheat failed to
benefit stocks to any extent. Atchison was
tho only one of tho grangers to show a de
gree of strength, and its rlso above 80 was
attributed more to corn prospects than to
wheat. United States Steel Preferred was
held for only, a brief time above last night's
level and showed the effect' of tho insistent
rumors of cuts In tho prices of steel products.
Little account was taken In the stock mar
ket of the confusion which seemed to exist
in the forelam exchange market and which
led ultimately to the cancellation of the en
gagement of gold bars for London. Although
exports of domestic products for July again
show a. decline from the previous year of
$9,662,000, chiefly in breadstuffs, tho time is
near now when a supply of cotton bills may
be looked for in the exchange market, making
the profit on a gold shipment very hazard
ous. An effort was made to rally the late
market by marking up' Southern Pacific to
55, but that stock fell back when the Metro
TniitT trartiona showed renewed weakness
and ihn closlnc was dull and easy
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, $2,430,-

Chicago Market; weakens and Closes Nearly
3 Cents Lower.
CHICAGO. Aug. 12. News from the North
west wao less suggestive of utter ruin to the.
growing wheat crop than at any time for a
week past. Tho market almost from the start
appeared to be struggling unuer a ueavj wu
of long. wheat. Sentiment at tne immediate
opening wavered between confidence and sus
picion of tho outlook, witn a leaning towa.ru
the latter. There were many traders who be
lieved tho grain cheap at the fractional declines
that ensued, and nearly every reverse was xou
Ibwed by a partial recovery. The weight or .tne
load of long wheat, however, was too much for
tha minoorters of the market. Step ny eiep
values settled back until September was down
to $1.01L01. The final efforts of the nuns
only operated to steady the tona and bring
about a shade of improvement In price. Sep-toTnhm-

ceptlng cats, which remained firm under light
receipts and good demand, leading cereals, wero
much weaker. December wheat, closed wltja
a net loss of lo from yesterday's final price.
The Chicago decline and a big crop in North
Paclflo Coast states have a depressing influ
ence upon local traders. December barley
fell off lc from last night's price. Spot
wheat and barley closed easy, receipts of the
latter cereal being heavy. Unless Eastern
markets brace up tomorrow, lower prices
seem likely.
Crawford peaches have practically had then
run. Receipts now consist chiefly tf Mulrs
and Salways, w th a small proportion of
choice, which bring good prices. Good ship
