THE WEEK IN TRADE SOME SLIGHT DEPRESSION IIA3 RESULTED FOLLOWING INDUS TRIAL; DEVELOPMENTS THE COUNTRY IS PROSPEROUS Ami Falling- Off In General Bualne«a Is Small Compared to What Would Have Been the C-.se Heretofore. NEW YORK, July 19.— R. G. Dun A Co's weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Anxiety reparding unfavorable possi bilities in the future rather than any actual present mls/crtune depressed se curities and caused cancelation of some ! orders for mt-rchanui c by' Western deal j er*?. Retail distribution of goods will not 'be curtailed by the 'labjr contro i versy unless it is cf long duration, a3 J the men have saved money during th? 1 recent period of full employment and high wages. Similiarly,' in some agr cultural districts, where there is tear that little corn will be harvested, pre ceding bumper crops at good - prices have put the farmers in such prosper ous condition that their purchases will not fall off materially, while the greatest crop of wheat on record has not brought a return to low prices of previous heavy yields. Beyond advancing prices of steel sheets an! depressing t..0 market for tin, quo tations have not betn affected by the strike of the Amalgamated association. Pig iron furnaces are not disturbed, al though record-breaking production will bring accumulation of stocks if the roll ing mills are kept idle for any length of time. In the branches not directly con cerneel there is no change of conditions, orders frequently running months ahead. An early settlement is confidently expect ed and there is much relief over -the gen eral collapse of the machinist's strike. In anthracite coal regions work has also been interrupted, but the recent ex ceptionally heavy output assures abun dant stocks for some time. Woolen mills are'generally more active than at any time this year, orders for heavy weight goods arriving in large numbers. The light weight season will soon open and although it is expected that concessions of from 5 to 10 per cent on last year's prices will be made, there is prospect of profitable operation, unless the raw material should advance. Some uncertainty is seen in the wool market, sellers, making futile efforts to secure better terms, and ultimately accepting bids at former figures. The tone is dis tinctly firmer and stocks at mills am! in warehouses decrease. In cotton goods the situation is unchanged. There was a decline in cotton below Wz cents, fol lowed by slight recovery as news from plantations failed to show the desifed improvement. Fore'gn consumption is light, judging by reduced exports and port receipts of the old crop are still lib eral.' These are the depressing elements that keep pries 1% cents below last year. Stability of prices seems assured in the footwear industry. The firm tone is sustained by the steadiness of leather and buyers are not seeking con cessions. Factories are running full time with orders on hand for -months ahead. Fall orders arrive freely and many New England producers refuse new i contracts unless allowed to make . de liveries at their own convenience. Limited supplies of i ncr make the market very firm. Hides are fairly ac tive and steady, some grades at Chicago ten-ling downward on account of increas ed receipts of cattle, on account-of the drought, but this should be a supporting factor as later arrivals must show a decrease. Calmer counsel prevails in the gran markets, exaggerated dispatches were discounted and variations in quotations were less extensive. After a severe break from the best price last Friday, wheat steadily advanced as the feeling became general that foreign requirements would bring a new record for exports, possibly exceeding 250,0C0,000 bu. Some of the heavy crop also. may be used for fodder in sections where corn is des troyed. These influences fully offset the effect of interior receipts for the week Of 6,750,242 im, against only 4.332.253 last year. Atlantic exports show a large gain over last year's figures for the week, amounting to 3,975,522 bu, against 2,812,700 a year ago. After some reaction, corn recovered some of the .loss, and holders showed their confidence in values by marketing only 3,361,942 bu for the week against 4,136,153 a year ago, although the high price was distinctly reflected in Atlantic shipments of only 1,198,894 bu against 3,961,916 in 1900. Failures for the week numbered 193 in the United States, against 231 last year, and thirty-two in Canada against twenty seven last year, ''vl'l WEEK IX. WALL STREET. Market Was Professional, but Price* Held Dp Fairly Well. ' ,^7 NEW YORK, July 19. — Bradstreefs Financial Review tomorrow will say Greater activity has prevailed -this week |in the speculative share market although the public is doing little and bond transactions, apart from the large dealings in some of the manipulated and popular securities of that description, arc still rather restricted. The successive un favorable developments of the past fort night would appear to have discouraged both speculation and investment, al though in the latter combination it may be said that holders of caoital have be", come imbued with the idea that prices for securities might decline to an extent which would afford opportunities for "bargain hunting." The actual develop ments of the week, however, have been very unfavorable from the point of pro fessional Wall street element. Rains have made their appearance at the West breaking the drouth in Kansas and the Southwest septions, where great fears for the crops have prevailed, and although the yield of corn this year will fall short of that of last year, the estimate which the street has generally accepted is that taking the large wheat yield into con sideration the cereal production of the West will furnish abundant traffic for the railroads. Relieved of anxiety on this score the street has been the reaelier to place the most > favorable interpretation upon the developments in the railway and financial world on account of the an nouncement made on Tuesday evening re garding the future of the Northern Pa cific company. .Very heavy covering of shorts assisted the upward movement, and the result was helped by vigorous manipulation from certain leading spec ulative interests, which appear to have early information regarding prospective developments. There is also extensive manipulation of stocks by capitalists.who have disposed of their holdings of Grang ers and Pacific stocks on the very dismal crop outlook of a few weeks ago, and the indications that a pacification in the rail way world might not be reached as early as appeared to be the case. .-•>■■.- -..;. . .

Rhodes, of Minneapolis, secretary of the Mississippi Valley Lumbermen's association, has sent out a circular to members of the organization which gives a conservative and accurate review of the crop situation as it exists in the Northwest today. The summary has been compiled, from personal reports of sales men and agents of the association, and is free from prejudice of any kind. The territory covered by the association com prises all of the states of Minnesota, Wis consin, North and South Dakota. lowa. Illinois, Northern Kansas and Missouri. In lowa, the crops are, on tho whole, in excellent condition. .While they were be ginning to show the ffects of dry weathi recent showers in many sections have greatly enhanced the prospects. The yield of corn will be as good as the average. Southern Wisconsin has had very gen eral rains and vegetation is in entirely satisfactory condition. In South Dakota the wheat has been damaged somewhat by hot winds in the southern counties, but in nearly the whole of the state the yield of spring wheat will be large. — In North Dakota the hot weather seems to have been beneficial rather-than other wise to growing grain. The* crop reports of the Great Northern, the Northern Paci fic and the Soo railways, covering North Dakota and the Red River valley, could not be more favorable, and those lines are preparing to handle an immense amount of grain. In Minnesota the chinch bugs have caused some damage along the southern border, but . the extent is limited. The hot weather has ripened grain premature ly in the southern counties, but otherwise there is no great damage. The total amount of damage throughout the seven states referred to amounts to no more than the aggregate annual loss. Railroad traffic men say that the iall roads are in better shape to handle a large crop this year than at any time in the history of:the country. They have more cars and the' capacity! of new cars has been increased. ". For several we-:-ks the ' Northwestern roads have been guarding their car sup ply and "nursing" back into their own territory all" of the absent rolling stock. This began earlier than usual this year for the reason that " general traffic this summer has been exceedingly good. MAY MOVE MILL. Continued From First Pane. the firemen, and there is a greater number of mines idle than yesterday. The state ment says: • ■■.- -"In compliance with the orders of the United Mine Workers of America to the firemen of their organization to return, few have complied and there are many additions to our ranks. 2 We' hope to accomplish organization of the whole ter ritory. Another factor is the sympathetic stand of the miners of the upper region in our behalf. In the Hazleton, Shamokin and Mount Carmel regions the men are fast organizing and will respond to the call to a man." STRIKES AiXD STRIKERS. Chicago—The striking iron molders add ed two more firms today to t"he list of those that signed the union agreement lor an advance in wages to $3 a day. This makes thirteen firms that have signed and about 30J strikers have returned to work, leaving 800 still idle. Vancouver, B. C—The strike of the salmon fishermen against the Fraser riv er canners has been adjusted, the Van couver Board of Trade having acted as mediator. it has been agreed that the fishermen shall receive >12Yz cents per fish for one-quarter' of the entire pack, and 10 cents for the remainder, of the pack.

Washington—Committees representing both the contractors and the striking electric workmen in this city today reach ed a compromise agreement, which is un derstood to provide for an increase of pay to $3.50 per day, but not to take' ef fect until after existing contracts are executed. The agreement was referred to the respective organizations for ap proval, and the strike probably will be settled this afternoon. -• Cincinnati—The machinists' strike hav ing been practically closed, except at-the Laidlow, Dunn, Gordon mill, at Twee dale, north of the city, the managers of the concern have decided to open - their plant and operate with non-union labor ers.
