Show ACTUAL TRADE DULL. . International Mercantile Agency's View of Business Conditions. NEW YORK.. July 2JL Reports received re-ceived this week from special, agents of the International MLercantilo agency at the leading centers of accumulation and distribution In the country show very little, change In condltlonB from those previously stated. Actual trado is dull, a normal situation for this, season of the- yean outlook for fall and winter win-ter business Is better In some sections, notably the Squth and Southwest, than it has. boon for a, long while. Calmer Judgment than obtained In tin beginning begin-ning has reduced tho estimate's of loss by flood to 30,000,000 bushels of winter wheat ln the States most affectd. One, reliable trade journal, bas- issued a bulletin bul-letin which points to a, total, yield of' this cereal of 010.000,000 bushels, and an exportable surplus, of nearly 1.45.000,000 bushels. These are fuuts that have helped to dislodge some oC tbo discouraging discour-aging sentiments of the- recent past. The strike oC tho packing-house employees em-ployees assumed larger proportions than were first believed possible. However, How-ever, there has been no suffering from tho advan.ee in the price. o meats. It has. always, been believed that eventually even-tually tbere would be a poaccful adjustment, ad-justment, by arbitration,, and that the disturbance would pass away as quickly quick-ly as It developed. This sentiment was borne put by Wednesday's, action. Probably Prob-ably a. moro important matter Is the threatening attitude of tho Fall River operatives, toward the. reduction of 15 percent in wags which become!-affective next Monday. This may spread, throughout New England and tmsettle business in that section. Tho bost commercial renotts come from the West and Southwest, or from the very regions whero the greatost disturbance to business polso might bo expected to exist. For Instance Kan-s-as City takes a very hopeful view of tho crop situation. A week qf; Ideal harvest weather has changed tho whole ospect of things, and merchants, are refilling orders.
