r. C. Dun's Report Shows the Busi-

ness Outlook Hopeful.
NEW Yo8x, December 15.-R. G. Dun Il
Co.'S weekly review of trade says that the
business outlook is hopeful, but on account
of past disturbances continued uncertainty
is felt in reduced volume of business
throughout the country. which, however, is
slightly larger than year ago. The in
crease until recently maintained does not
appear during the past week. The south re-
ports fair business despite the continued de-
cline IN cotton. Thesupply of money is ample
for the necessaries at New Orleans, but at other
points money is tight, though banks help
their customers as far as possible, but in
legitimate business only. At the west cold
weather has helped the trade. The general
business in the west is in a healthy condition
and fairly active.
Chicago's business continues much larger
than last year, being but little affected by
the eastern tIoubles. Business is also good
at Kansas City and st. Louis. The iron in
dustry Is In better condition than week
ago, and wooden manufacture is decidedly
better. Their is waiting market for knit
goods and a shrinking demand for dress
goods. The cotton manufacture Is less salts
factory and some works have suspended
production. The speculative markets have
not been very active. but wheat has risen II
and corn 27s and oats =. Pork is unchanged
and cotton sixteenth lower. The rise in
breadstutf is not sustained. Tin has risen
4. but copper is of uncertain price. The
most significant fact IN the money situation
Is the fact that a very large portion of the
money was taken in gold by the seller of
bonds, presumably for withdrawal until sll-
yer legislation is accomplished by congress.
The commercial troubles outside of the
money stringency has been caused by over
purchases in anticipation of a great rise in
values. These purchasers have been disap-
pointed and find themselves embarrassed.
The business failures during the past week
number 374, rs compared with 3l2 last week,
and go for the corresponding week last year.
