This einiitiued prices of meats aim added many thousands 10 ihe aireauy large amiy of tmeniplii) ed, M'eukenlug the purchasing power ot the pvop.e still iiinnar. Aside irom tnls unlavoiaole develupment tne news of the week contained much sncour Hiiement. Clop prospects Improved and the general level ot prices for nrm products promises a huge return to sai icullurlsts, ivl.lcli menus better tuiainess for all Indus tries. Confidence grows with the crops, rotalleis showing more disposition to prepaie lor the future ns the season advances, with no serious setback to the farms. A tew man ufacturing lines ure active, although there Is still much Idleness at the shops nnd mills, and the pig Iron output for July will be smaller man any recent month. Reports Ol increased plans for erection of buildings are not accompanied by nny note worthy expuiixion In demand tor structural materials as et. It. l. way earnlnga lor the first week of July are only per cent lower than last year and foreign trade at this port showed goJna of 8i's3,26 In ex ports and tl,(,724 In lmpxits, ns com pared With the corresponding week a year ago. Textiles Are Irregular. Textile manufacturing plants are opera ting aomewhat Irregularly, regulation ot wi'ges by Fall Rlvor concerns having been dei lord upon, and this may result irt the aener.il resumption so greatly desired. In the primary market for cotton goods theia I a a disposition to maintain quotations, Kellers declining to consider bids below the level recently reached. Orders ate still limited to small quantities for quirk de livery. Export buying has sgsln provided the best feature of the market, stocks of heavy sheetings and drills being fairly well cleaned up. In woolen gooda ilia week has brought the opening up of new lines of medium grade men's wear at about last year's prices. This fact and some resump tion of clothing factories combined to In crease sale.. putting this Industry in a better position than other textiles. Footwear markets nre more active, many western buyers having appeared In Boston, and a heavy volume of supplementary or ders have been placed. Tanners who srs short of hides are u 11 11 bin to secure deliv eries on account of the strike, and the sit uation threatens to become serious If the struggle la prolonged. This Influence Is cal culated to ndvanre the hide market. Failures tills we-.-k numbered 225 In the T'nlted Slates, against 218 last year, and twenty In Canada, against sixteen a year ago. TRADE: A WAITING CROP RKPOHTS Railroad Show Increased Famines, bnt Cnttle Shipments Are Checked. NEW YORK, July 15. Bradstrcet's to morrow will say: Diverse movements In trades, Industry and speculation give an Irregular appear ance to the general business situation. Dis tributive trade and Industry is still qulst and even dull, awaiting clearer views of tho crop outturn. Damage to the winter wheat crop by heavy rains Is sdmltted, though alleged to be exaggerated. Dlsor- Sunlzation In the meat slaughtering In ustry has followed a strike, which If not settled, as now seems likely, contains muoh power for evil. All meat prices have been advanced and cattle shipments checked. Railway gross earnings for the fiscal year will show an lncreaae over the best pre vious years, but net results are less clearly defined with the question whether an In crease or decrease will be shown still in doubt. The general undertone Is one of confi dence, good results being looked for by the business world from an expected laige vol ume of fall trade. Viewed geograpnlcally the south seems easily to have the best outlook, the cotton crop having progressed so far with little or no drawbacks except the original lateness of the spring, Tha outlook is for an Immense cotton crop. The southern peach crop this year has been enormous and has sold at good prices. Midsummer trade conditions nave domi nated distributive markets. Collections the country over are classed as little better than slow. , Among the Industries the Iron trade nots Increased quiet, production being scaled down to meet receding consumption. Tho only change to note la Increased firmness nmnng southern producers who find tha strike of coal miners Iq the Birmingham district a strengthening feature. Finished Croducts are quiet nnd even dull. Tho oot and shoe Industry' Is rather quint nnd . eastern shipments nre 7.6 per cent behind a year ago. Leather manufacturers are be ginning to purchase leather, which is firmer and tends upward. Rather mure was reported doing In soma kinds of cotton goods this week, some heavy export orders being reported at very low prices, but ncnlnst this was a report that Fall River manufacturers would make n. further reduction In wages. The cotton gonda aide of the mnrket has unquestion ably been much Improved; Woolen goods manufacturers have been free buyers of raw material, the result being firmness all along the line and a fractional advance In prices. . Foreign trade totals for the fiscal year nre noxt to the largest ever reported. Im ports are 3.6 per emit less than In 1003 and the aggregate foreign trade Is 16 per cent tinder thst of the flecnl year 1903. Cotlon waa the sheet anchor ut our export trade, while breadstuff shipmenta fell to a low ebb. Exports of manufactured goods have, however, exceeded all previous years.
