June 12.—Bradstrects Saturday said: Trade, crop and industrial conditions tro of a variable character, with the sreneral appearance of quiet, though the svidences of good feeling hitherto noted ire to be met. Jobbing trade is of a Detween-season character and sales of spring and summer fabrics furnish the ahicf occupation. As to tariff matters, the belief is growing that radical legis lation is not likely. Short time is still the leading feature in the textile trades. Leather is quiet after the spell of buying induced by the recent advance in prices. Shoe manu facturing is not active except fo: specialties. The building trades and material lines catering thereto ars quiet. Business failures in the United States for the week ending June 8 were 232. Business failures in Canada for ths week number 23. Dun’s review today says: Such change as has taken place tn business is for the better. Advance in confidence Is slow and the growth is acutely slower, but both are advancing and growing. The improvement In de mand following the recent cut tn steei prices is not general. The activity 1« bare of response to larger buying bj agricultural implement makers and railroad orders are coming in freely. In pig iron it is estimated that production is now close to consumptive require ments. Several additional furnaces were blown out last month. Current demand reflects scant improvement, as the ex isting weakness in prices encouraged buyers to hope for further concessions A development of considerable interesl was the advance in pig tin at London to the ’highest level on record, without sign of price weakness. The cotton goods markets are quieter, with job bers still disinclined to anticipate it any active way.
