THE TRADE REVIEW.
The General Outlook for Business Some
what Improved.

The General Outlook for Business Some
what Improved.
Dun & Co. S weekly review of trade says:
The business outlook has, on the whole, ina.
proved during the week. but the assignment OF
an important dry goods commission house, with
liabilities OF 81, 000, 900, occasioned some dis
quietude. But the general tenor of advices is
encouraging Crop prospects improve. with
the probability of large foreign demand the
unprecedented financial difficulties do not yet
arrive; the great Industries seem to be getting
a stronger position, and the railroad
situation is at the least worse. All
the cities except nine report larger
bank clearings than year ago AS to
the dry-goods failure too present reports
hold out the hope that the liabilities will
ultimately be fully met Latest accounts indi-
cate decided improvement in the wheat pros
pect in Dakota and Minnesota, the yield being
estimated at 5000 900 bushels against &C, OO0,-
600 last year. The foreign reports appear on the
year. Cotton reports favorable. but the
scantiness of the present supply sustains
prices. There seems to be real and steady i'm
provement in the condition OF the great branches
of industry, although it is by no means such,
rs yet, as to clear away uncertainty. The de.
mand for iron in various forms has so far in
creased as to cause general stitfsning of prices.
The signs OF improvement i'll the wooden bust
ness are less clear but manufacturers have
been buying more freely and there has been
some increase in the orders for goods. The con-
fdence in g. large fall trade is undiminished.
The movement OF cotton goods is fairly salts
factory, and print cloths are shade stronger.
All accounts from interior cities indicate that
business is fairly good for the season, though
there is perhaps, rather general feeling that
the fell trade does not open quite as early or as
the week were, for the United States, 1877 for
Canada 20 g. total OF 216 against q total of 20S
the week previous. For the corresponding week
of last year the figures were 1879 in the United
States and 70 in Canada,
