The Business Sky Almost Clear Phenomena t thlpmeot ot Wheat Abroad Pessl mlttlo Predictions Not Verified. It. G. Dun & Co.'a weekly review of trndo says: Even In cotton goods, which have been the slowest to respond to the vigorous tone of domestic trade, the past week has brought distinct Im provement. Pressure at Fnll River be ing removed, the print cloth market became strong, while In the bleached goods division gains were still more pronounced. Somewhat lower quota tions for wheat are not surprising. In view of the general tendency to In crease estimates of the crop far be ynd the quantity Indicated by official figures of condition. Another weak ening Influence Is the slight decline of exports below the record-breaking movement In the first two weeks of August. Shipments for the week, however, were still phenomenal, ag gregating '0,307.302 bushels, compar ed with 2.804,ri07 last year, and 3.17D. 017 In 181)9. These figures of exports omit the movement from Canada pjrts, usually Included in other re ports, nnd causing confusion as to the) actual state of domestic nffalrs. With a yield of 50.000.000 bushels In Mani toba, these shipments front the domin ion are falling little short of 1.000,000 bushels weekly. Corn is stubbornly firm, though Atlantic exports for the week were but 407,540 bushels, against 2,807,157 bushels n year ago, and 4, 078,005 bushels In 18fK). while Western -receipts were 8.424,8)Si bushels, com pared with 2,123,817 bushels Inst year. Indicating that farmers are content to market their surplus nt current prices. The month ends with a horizon thnt la almost clear, and each day resump tion of work at an Idle mill adds to the productive capacity, while cancel ed orders for merchandise from deal ers In the drought section are rapidly reinstated. After many years of steaJlly Increasing prosperity the farming population can face moderate losses with equanimity. Jobbers and manufacturers report that orders for fall goods have exceehd any pre vious year, with noticeable demand for the better grades, and there Is a, definite measure of active trade In bank exchanges In New York. 74.0 per cent larger than In the same week last year, and 20.4 above 1800, while at other leading cities the Increase Is 30.3 and 25 per cent respectively. Although scarcity of freight cars holds back n, large tonnage, railway earnings tbuu far reported for August show a galj of 12.1 per cent over last year and 23.0 over 1800. ' , Quotations of steel products are still nominal owing to th UllUoulty exper ienced In securing prompt delivery. It la estimated that not more than 20 per cent of the steel comuanv's caoacltv J has been stopped by the strike and uus proportion dally decreases. -J'
