Don's Weekly Review of the Biieiae Wte- atloe Decidedly Encouraging An Knee- noai Wheat Crop The Great Ieaaatrlee Doles Wet". New York. Sept 5. R. G. Dun A Ca's weekly review of trade says: The wheat crop Is out of danger sad is enormous undoubtedly the largest ever grown and moving with unusual rapidity. The corn crop has been saved and is very large in most of the surplus producing states and even within the range of recent frosts appears to have been in part beyond injury. The mon etary situation is also decidedly clearer and more favorable. Foreign needs ap pear less urgent and the danger of suc cessful resistance to American demands for gold is diminishing. The removal of the German prohibi tion of American pork imports promises a largely increased demand for impor tant products and a considerable addi tion to mcrcliandlsc exports for the year. Exports from New York in five weeks exceeded last year's nearly 3t j percent. and while import increased largely the balance of trade turns de cidedly in favor of the United States. The injury to cotton may also hasten exports of that product which foreign operators knowing the large stocks in Europe might not have sought early had the American crop bccii fulL The great industries are doing well, though strikes of importance are threut cned in the cotton mills nt Fall Kirer and the window glass works at tho weat Distinct improvement Is seen in the de mand for iron and its products, though prices arc unchanged, and also in coal, while minor metals are firm. The trade in dry goods is fairly large, particularly in all wool cavsimere and dress goods. The reports from other cities express increased confidence and show some actual gain iu the volume of trade. Steady improvement is seen in Boston. At Philadelphia improvement is seen in iron and coal, steady buying of wool by manufacturers, especially of worsteds, and fair trade iu tobacco and chemicals but collections ant generally dulL At nist southern points nionoy Ls also easier and at New Orleans iu ample supply for legitimate needs. At the west no complaints of stringency are noted, though money is firmer at Chi cago. Operations in speculative markets have been more netivo and wheat ha-s declined 4 S cents on sales of 4S,00O,0O bushels on account of enormous receipts nt the west which have been at the rate of 1,350,000 bushels daily for the week thus far.

The semi-official statement which the ortc issued in rc gurd to the agreement with Russia, touching the passing of the Russian vol unteer lleet through the Dardanelles Is quickening the British foreign ollico in it efforts to obtain concerted action on the part of the treaty powers in de manding explanations from the porto.

A high otllclal of the department who was recently of the opinion that the Moscowa incident would not affect the existing relations between Great Britain and Turkey, now takes a view that the Russo-TurkisTi agreement will mako necessary an early demonstra tion on tho part of Great Britain, even if she has to act alone. RUSSIAN PREPARATIONS. London, Sept .. A Vienna dispatch says that the Russian villages near the Russo'Austrian frontier nre thronged with soldiers.
