PI N'S REVIEW OF TRADE, Regulation of Commodity Trices Dominates In Many Industries Recession Appear. New York, Aug. "34.-Dun's Review to morrow will say: ' . . -1 Antual and prospective regulation of com modity prices has - been., the- dominating factor In many Industries and -In. securities markets and In certain raw materials and manufactured products', deeurtve.readlust ment has resulted from other than official action. In contrast to the former rapid snd practically general upturn, more reces sions than advances now appear In whole sale quotations and the possibilities of further downward revisions .enter largely into calculations. Where continued yielding is foreshadowed, either- because of accumula tions ot supplies or .tor different reasons, buyers are not disposed to operate except at concessions by sellers, and -where there Is uncertainty as to the change to bo effected, as tn stoel and Iron, new business is still waiting. Increasing caution In entering upon forward engagements ha become a more conspicuous feature; yet the abatement of the rush to contract ahead, at almost any flgura . has made the situation more wholesome., and It is an Indication of confi dence In the future lhat comparatively few cancellations of orders are reported. Weekly bank clearings were $4,661,331,191. Coffee Market. New York, Aug. 24. Early Irregularity wte followed by an easier turn In tho mar ket for coffee futures today.
