NEW YORK, Nov. 9-R. G.. Dun s. |
Co.'S. weekly review OF trade.
The volume of legitimate business |
has been wonderfully well maintained
during the past week as during the
whole campaign and this is the more re-
markable because in the months proceed
ing those of political excitement specu-
lation had been unusually active and
extravaganza. There has come a more
confident tone in every branch of bust
ness and larger trade with improV-
ing prices usually anticipated as q re-
suit of the pOstponement of very many
operations and purchases in past
months. In the reports from interior
points generally it Is noteworthy that
the aggregate OF transactions was
large for only five working days. at
all cities reporting money continued in
fair or active demand, while scarcely
any complaint Of stringency is heard
and collections though somewhat in
| terrupted have been on the whole,
satisfactory with improvement noted
| in several cases. The large volume of
currency in circulation together with
| the temporary inactivity of speculation
explains the matter. The circulation
of all kinds of money reached 81 ,407 :
81 1858 November 1st, being SAL 500 900
larger than a year ago. In the past
week the treasury has also paid out
81, 200 600 more than it has taken in.
The report of anthracite and bitumi-
nous furnaces in blast showed
a weekly output Of 128, $40 IONS against
119, 1S9 month ago and 13O, 4S7 year
ago.
In the output of charcoal and iron
the increase of about per cent in
the month of October makes the week
ly output only about II per cent small
er than at this date last year.
The increase Of late has been mainly
in southern production and no change
in prices is recorded as yet.
Steel rails have been at very low fig-
ures, in all 10000 tons were taken by
the Vanderbilt roads and as much
more by other companies, and it is re-
ported that large orders can yet be
placed at not more than q.
The wool market has been decid
edly active and stronger, but while
more confident feeling prevails
IN the goods trade Improvement
in orders or purchases is not yet OBJ
served.
Cotton goods have been firm, with {
, firm undertone.
