NEW YORK, Sept. Ar. G. Dun g. Co.'s
weekly review of trade says: Business inn

anu moving with unusual rapldlty. The
corn crop has been saved. and is very large
In most of the surplus producing States,
and even within the range of recent frosts
appears to have been in part beyond in
jury. The monetary situation is also decd
eddy clearer and more favorable. Foreign
needs appear less urgent, and the danger
of successful resistance to American de-
mands for gold is diminishing.
The removal of the German prohibition
of American pork imports promises q
largely increased demand for important
products and a considerable addition to
merchandise exports for the year. Exports
from New York in five weeks exceed last
years nearly 81 per cent. and while i'm.
ports also increased largely. the balance of
trade turns decidedly in favor o. { he United
States. The injury to cotton nay also
hasten exports Of that product which for
eIgn operators. knowing the large stocks in
Europe, might not have bought early had
the American crop been full.
The reports from other cities express in
creased confidence and show some actual
gain in the volume of trade. Steady i'm.

decrease is noted in flour, about one-half in
barley and cured meats ana quarter in
lard. Sales of dry goods exceed last years,
which were phenomeDally large. and in
clothing and shoes the trade is immense.
At st. Louis the distribution exceeds last
years and orders are free. At Kansas City
trade is fairly healthy. At Minneapolis the
iobbing trade is very good. wheat receipts
being double last years. and lumber ad-
vanced 81 per thousand by the association,
and at st. Paul trade steadily increases
with assurance of unprecedented crops.
At Milwaukee business gains, though un-
usually slow collections pinch some of the
lobbers. At all Southern points higher
cotton stimulates trade and collections are
somewhat better. and at New Orleans there
is a fair demand for sugar. At most South
ern points money Is also easier, and at New
Orleans in ample supply for legitimate
needs. At the West no complaints of
stIingeney are noted, though money is
hrmer at Chicago.
