The Midsummer Relaxation Has Arrived and Business Is at a Standstill. New York, Aug. E. G.

Dun A. weekly review of trade says: There is a perceptible halt which may deceive if attributed to wrong causes. Trade two months late in spring pushed forward into July a large share of business belonging to April or May. Seeing a rush for orders out of time many imagined it would continue, and hurried to give otherorders. The jam of two months' business into one lifted prices.

Then other orders came to anticipate a further rise. But the midsummer halt was inevitable, and it is yet somewhat uncertain how much improvement will appear after it. The crop of corn promises to be the largest ever grown, and is almost out of harm's way. The crop of wheat appears from later accounts, perhaps less than was expected a month ago, and had the best hopes been realized it would have been more than 100,000.000 bushels short of a full crop. Cotton has lost a little and more people seem to believe in 7.500,-000 bales than believed in 8,000,000 a month ago.

Larger stocks than were immediately wanted have been taken by traders as prices were advancing, and these tend to limit future orders. FOR ARBITRATION. French Deputies Favor Settling Disputes With America Ouietly. Washington', Aug. The state department has been notified by Ambassador Eustis of the unanimous passage by the French chamber of depu ties of a resolution looking to the arrangement of a treaty between the United States and France by the terms rf which any difference that may hereafter arise between the two countries will be adjusted by arbitration.

It does not appear that this fact was officially communicated to Mr. Eustis and it is probable that the first official notice that the government will receive will be a proposal to open nego tiations to see if common ground cannot be found. This may be made to the state department through Ambassador Patenotre. At the state department it is thought the subject promises to be extremely difficult of adjustment, owing to the seeming impossibility of reconciling the claims of the United States under the Monroe loctrine with the French view.
