Co. 's weekly review of trade issued to-
day says:
Plenty of material for encourage
ment, and also for discouragement, can
lie found by those who seek that mid nothing else. Rut business men who want to see the situation exactly as it is find accounts so far conflicting that It is difficult to strike a balance. In tho.,e department", of industry und trade in which the deferred biisinessaml the demand for replenishment of stocks have not been exhausted, there is improvement, and in some the business is not only larger that: last year, but larger than two years ago. In others the exhaustion of tem
porary demand has brought disappointment, because it was smaller than was expected, and because the remaining demand appears uncomfortably light. In the aggregate, business is about a tenth larger than last year, but still falls about 2.' per cent, below a full volume for the season. The iron business, after its great increase of output last month, shows disappointing weakness at all east em :ini I
central markets, with consumption not large enough to keep fairly employed the mills in operation. Resscmer pig is lower, at SI 1.25 at Pittsburgh, and the business in most manufactured products there and at Philadelphia is generally done at some concessions, though for structural work and in sheets the demand is excellent. Wire rods and nails and barbed wire are weaker, and steel billets und bursa
shade lower. In the minor metals speculation bus advanced both tin and copper i little, but without signs of increasing consumption. In textile fabrics there has been a
distinct decrease in trade, as initial stocks for the next season have been ordered and dealers are now waiting for the retail trade to give encouragement for further purchases. The lull in trade may tie only temporary, but is felt the more as it follows the crowding orders for several months intoU few weeks. The strikes at Fall River and New Redford have not ceased, und about a dozen additional cotton mills have gone into operation elsewhere, several with reduced wages, but the orders for the present are narrow and much smaller than usual, although recent advances in price are maintained. A large auction sale of silks has resulted in satisfactory prices. The demand for woolen dress goods is better, and will occupy some mills until the end of September, and the half-
oozen concerns making clay diagonals are probably oversold, but in most
lines the woolen business is restricted, and after what remained of several
months' demand was crowded into a
