Weekly Review of Trade Outlook and Industrial Activity
The outlook for business shows a slight overall improvement though not decisive. Cancellations remain heavy and it's unclear if new orders will offset them. Clearing-house payments fell 24 percent in the first week of June, with New York at 27 percent and elsewhere 10 percent, vs 1802 about 30 percent lower. Rail traffic is weak with low rates amid competition. Iron and steel production is at a multi-year low due to strikes and idled furnaces. Gold exports total 6.15 million this week, treasury reserves down to 70 million. Bank cash flows match gold outflow though crop movement nears. Customs receipts down 36 percent, internal revenue 23 percent lower. domestic exports slightly above last year. U.S. failures 216 vs 222 last year. Canada 0 vs 27.
