Still Higher.
NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The weekly review
of trade of r. G. Dun & Co., issued today,
saws. business continues in large volume
and generally profitable. In many branches
there is noteworthy expansion on account
If new opportunities which the revised
tariff gives. The prices Of stocks have been
industriously assailed during the past week,
Int have declined comparatively little. The
volume of other business is far greater than
ever before, and the outlook is considered
satisfactory at all commercial centers.
"Boston finds the boot and shoe trade en-
couraging and prices in that line are firm,
while leather is unchanged and the trade in
hides is quiet.
.'Tbe sales of wool are rather large,
amounting to 4. 264, 800 pounds, but there Is
distinct improvement in the market for
wooden goods, and manufacturers are more
hopeful.
COTTON GOODS FIRM.
Cotton goods are firm in price, while the
raw material declines.
AT Philadelphia the liquor trade is good,
trade in chemicals is far in volume, and
the paint business is good, while money has
become easy at 81 to z per cent, and col
lectlons are on the whole satisfactory
"At Chicago there Is a marked decrease
in the receipts of cured meats, dressed beef,
lard, butter and hides, but in cheese and
wool an increase, and the volume of buiness
continues larger than year ago, with salts
factory collections in dry goods and cloth
ing
"At ST. Louis the state of business is
healthy, and, while money is rather scarce.
there is no trouble about collections.
1.-The volume of business at Cleveland is
much above last year's, especially in dry
goods and clothing, though unfavorable
weather retards trade to some extent.
AT Pittsburg manufacturing interests
are fiourlshing, though lower prices are
quoted for Bessemer steel and blooms.
PROSPERITY IN THE WEST.
at is a remarkable feature of the returns
this year that the western cities appear to
prosper without the slightest regard to the
condition Of business On the seaboard At
Milwaukee trade is satisfactory and money
unusually active at 6 to per cent, at st.
Paul trade is excellent, and at Minneapolis
the receipts of wheat reach l, 900, 900 bushels.
At Kansas City trade is healthy, and at
Denver good.
MONEY TIGHT IN THE SOUTH.
There is rather more Indication of mon
etary pressure at southern centeTs, and at
Saynlah the receipts Of SO, 434 bales OF cot
ton and large receipts Of rosin and turpen-
tine make money tight. But business is
dull at Jacksonville and only fairly active
in the Louisiana region. The money mar
kets are on the whole less disturbed than
they were week ago, but there is an In
creaslng scarcity of funds at some of the
we'tern and southern centers
The most important industries are doing
well. The demand for boots and shoes con-
tlnus encouraging, aud the advance in the
pr css OF hides and leather is maintained.
Tine iron business is hesitatlng, because
an unprecedented consumption is ap-
parently overmatched by an unprecedented
production, and Bessemer iron is weak at
PittsburR and Philadelphia. But the de-
mand for all finished products continues SO
large that the capacity # the mills seems to
be strained to the utmost, and while no ad-
vance OF prices is reported, the market is
everywhere strong.
BREADSTUFFs ADVANCING.
THE markets for breadstuffs continue to
ADVANCE. Wheat has risen 1910 during
me week, corn nearly &c, and oats nearly
4 &C. The foreign demand affords no sup
port to this speculation, and the exports are
lar below those of the corresponding weeks
last year
The market for cotton has yielded six
