Domestic Financial Conditions Are Exceptionally Satisfactory For eign Markets Disarranged. R. O. Dun & Co.'s weekly Review of Trade says: Foreign maijltets v.tre badly disarranged by the sud den Illness ot the king, and there was much liquidation prior to the clos ing of Uritish exchanges from Wed- nesday afternoon to Monday morning. Domestic financial conditions are ex ceptionally satisfactory, and trade is well maintained, although low tem perature Interfered with the distribu tion of midsummer specialties. Man ufacturing operations have increased in activity, especially in the iron and steel industry and textile production.' while the constructive work on new buildings and bridges is very heavy. Labor difficulties have not improved in the anthracite coal regions, but numerous settlements have been ef fected elsewhere. Railway earnings thus far reached for June exhibit an average increase of 4.6 per cent over last year and 17.7 per cent over ll'UO. Most of the blast furnaces that were stopped by the scarcity of cnthraclte coal have resumed with coke, of which the ovens have estab lished new records of output, and rhlpments have been still larger owing to the stocks accumulated during the car shortage. Despite the vigorous pig iron production numerous contracts have been placed abroad, and still the machine shops, manufacturers of stoves and imple ments and consumers generally are seeking deliveries. Structural shapes of steel and other forms of railway equipment continue to lead the mar ket, orders in these lines running tar into next year. Bars and sheets arc the least active divisions of the market; but even in these there is no tendency to weakness. Eastern man ufacturers of footwear report a larger volume of contracts, mainly for de livery In August and September. Leather has accumulated, and some tanneries are closed, but belting butts continue in demand at full prices. More activity occurred in cotton goods, although at some concessions in prices. The changes were a nat ural result of recent declines in the raw material, buyers having delayed orders on that account. Woolen fioods have been-taken more freely, (-specially the better qualities, and clothing manufacturers are preparing for a large fall trade. Raw wool is In better request at eastern markets, but the new clip is held at a premium tbst limits trade. Agricultural pros pects are far above the average, and rapid progress is made with winter wheat harvesting. Injury in Texas has partially offset the splendid out look in other cotton states, while the strong statistical position, together with liberal consumption and cover, lng of short contracts at Liverpool, combined to cause a sharp rise in op tion prices and a moderate stiffening ot spot cotton, but the advance was not maintained. Failures for the week numbered 200 in the United States, against 204 hist year, and 20 in Canada, against 23 a year ago. oraasireeis says: Wheat.
