BKADSTREET'S REVIEW. New York, Aug.. IT. Bradsfreet's tomor row will say: uplifting conditions continue to assert themselves In trade and industrial circles, but at the earns time there Is a degree of uneven ness In particular sections and cer tain Industries that deprives the situation of uniformity. However, optimism ss to the future seems unabated; our Interna tional political relations . appear to have Improved; some sections report larger road orders; mall order trade goes on Increas ing; the Southern situation Is brighter; money everywhere Is plentiful at low rates. Collections are somewhat easier) foreign or-1 ders for manufactured war supplies con tinue of larg proportions; higher prices prevail for Iron and steel and copper has emerged from Its recent spell of dullness. On the other hand, buyers have not en tirely divorced themselves from conserv atism; ths labor situation tends to reflect In sporadic strikes the Influence of com petitive bidding for help. Retail trade, though good In some sec tions. Is not altogether favorable, wet, cool weather In the .West having checked dis tribution; paucity Of dycetuffs curtails oper ations In some textile lines; and rallwsy freight traffic Is lighter than last year's.
