renew ox trade to-morrow will aay: Moderate betterment In, trade conditions appears this week. Tbe extraordinary government cotton report, showing with one. exception the "highest July condition estimate for thirteen years, caused some hesitation among buyers ot dry goods, al taougb the tone In this line was a trifle better at wholesale and Consumers of iron and steel constantly placa moderate orders for early delivery. Mill operations reflect further expansion and there Is Promise of vlty in the fall. The railroads- show more disposition to provide for needed equipment Orders for rails have reached aulta a satisfactory tonnaara at tha wa.t and Plata interests have received a considerable volume of business from- th transporting companies.

In the latter division prices are unsettled; irregularity alsotappears lb steel bars, wire products and galvanised Current statistics indicate a further enlargement of production, the leading Interest havino- ahnn. It per cent, of its Ingot capacity active. wnu me rate at wnich specifications are being received suggests that. a few mora blast furnaces will pa put in operation. There is more animation In foundry iron.

Moderate Improvement appears In dry goods both at wholesale and retail, although the government report on the cotton Crop, showing further marked gain. Creates considerable hesitation with buyers who-: limit their commitments unfl they are assured of the market's stability. Curtailment of the mills becomes stlil more drastic with the; approaching end of the cotton year and decreasing supplies for Immediate consumption. Exporters are withholding orders, but: shipments to date are materially ahad of a year ago. Men's wear trade tn woolens is somewhat backward, but buyers concede that values are more attractive than a year ago, and It Is noted that while purchases rule small requests for prompt shipment are frequent In the New England market the, wool trade Is broadening.
