Trade Developments Favorable Despite Weather and Trade Slowdowns
Bradstreet reports continue to show generally favorable trade trends with improving collections. Industrial activity remains strong though some coal and iron and steel stoppages reflect earlier excess rail traffic and fuel supply issues. Harvesting winds down, cattle and hog prices rise drawing rye shipments, while fall trade is active with dry goods and clothing purchases. Regional notes point to conservative sentiment limiting speculation, yet widespread good collections span the west northwest and south as crop prospects show modest ripples. Weather woes in the corn belt hinder progress while hot, dry conditions threaten cotton in the south, notably Arkansas and the Memphis area.
