NEW YORK, Nov. Or. G.. Dun s.
Co.'S weekly review of trade:
Business has made fair progress
during the past week. and at most

provement is considered good. The
engagements of gold for export
amount to 81, $50 900 for the week, and
the intermediate cause is not the state
of merchandise trade. At present
foreigners do not seem to regard Amer
lean railways with the confidence for

damaging competition, and in part be-
cause the effects of the Interstate act
are thought serious. The stock market
has declined on an average of 81 per
share. The exports of breadstutfs

three weeks, against 1,989, 328
bushels last year and 4OS. 497
barrels of -four, against 675, 69S last
year, with an increase OF $4,000 BUSH
els of corn. The removal of duties in
Portugal caused small shipments of
wheat thither, but from Other markets

of SO GOO. 900 bushels.
Corn and oats nave scarcely changed.
Pork and hogs are shade

pears. Collections at all points seem
fairly satisfactory. At Memphis trade
does not improve and dealers are more
anxious about collections than about

York is dull and weak with demand
slackening, and at Pittsburg the sus-
pension of the Monographs mining

the distractions on the river. The
coke trade is active and with Ovens

en- orders for 40 600 tons of street rails

refused $3.50. Bar iron is irregular
in price and southern sales of pig al
the east are checked by the unwilling
ness of the railroads TO guarantee the
present rates for the future.
