Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Confidence in continued improve- ment of trade has been somewhat uns settled by sensational events in the wheat market and the lack of harmony between labor and capital. It is be- coming evident that estimates of the wheat crop must be reduced, although other agricultural news is much better than usual. In so far as the purchas- ing power of the farmer is concerned, prices have risen so sharply that ary loss in quantity promises to be made up, but this obvious fact is not appre- ciated by thase dealers who are mak- ing less preparation for future trade. Some disappointment is also felt by those who counted upon an early re- sumption of activity in building oper- ations and other industries “hampered by labor controversies. Otherwise, news of the week has contained much f an encouraging nature, In several manufacturing lines there 1 of ess idle machinery, and visiting re- stimulated jobbing ds and kin- dred lines.
