Trade Review Shows Continual Growth and Mixed Outlook
New York trade advices note favorable conditions similar to last year with higher transaction volumes and full manufacturing activity except cotton mills. July earnings up 12.7 percent from last year and 20.2 from 1901, while farm reports are uneven. Prices ease slightly, commodity consumption strong, steel and iron demand high, and delays in purchases common amid market uncertainty. Regional contrasts persist with the East hit by liquidity concerns and the West and South optimistic on crops and prices. Wheat and corn exports for the week and five weeks show declines versus prior periods. The piece ends with a literary note on Captain Marshall and a Derby dream linking to Wildfowl's victory.
