Bradstreet's to-morrow will say; Thefeature of the week is the continued strength of prices of staples after the striking ad vances of preceding weeks. There is a firmer undertone in nearly all lines of trade, but at a number of points gains in industrial are more marked than in commercial lines. The flurry in petro leum is succeeded by a very dull mar ket. Woolen dress goodsmills nave se cured a number of orders for fall de livery, which accounts for the moder ate activity In tho market for wool Cotton goods aro firm on the advance in cotton and higher wages paid East ern mill operatives. - The number of strikes for higher wages Increases. About 25,000 people have struck in April, most of them for au advance. -. The number of vqluntary advances in wages reported Is large. During the past two weeks the wages of 50,000 operatives, most of them in tex tile lines, have been advanced without strikes.
