Enormous Hesitations Hold Back Futures Trade Review
Dun’s Weekly Review notes no clear upturn in business with confidence rising slowly. Speculative buying for future use persists, gold imports continue, and Bank of England actions shift weight to France. Cotton, wool, pig iron see speculative activity. upholstery and textiles gain as Fall River mills restart. Wheat and corn rise on strong exports and large Western receipts. Overall, prices advance broadly, yet wool and certain textiles lag while iron and steel idle remains.
