NEW YoRk, Sept s.--R. @. Dun &
Co. S weekly review OF trade says:
Business improves in all sections al
the south, partly because OF injury e
the cotton crop and the consequent ad
vance in the price. The wheat CROP Il
ont OF danger, and iC enormous, un
donbtedly the largest ever grown, and
moving with unusual rapiditY. The
corn crop has been saved and Is very
large in most OF the surplus producing
states and even within the range OF re
cent frosts appear to have been In part
beyond injury
''The reports from other cities ex'
press increased confidence and show
some actual gain In the volume OF trade.
Steady improvement is seen at Boston.
At Philadoiphia Improvement is seen
in iron and coal, steady buying OF wool
by manufacturers, especially OF worsteds
and fair trade In tobacco and Chemicals
but collections are generally dull Man
ufacturing IL active at Baltimore and
iobbiue trade healthy. Clothing and
dry goods are especially active and col
lecfions fair at Cincinnati. At Chicago
wheat receipts are four times last years;
double ana oats show increase, while
some decrease is noted in -four, about
one half In barley and cured meats, and
a quarter in lard. Sales OF dry goods
exceed last years, which were phenom-
inally large, and In clothing and shoes
the trade is immense.
SAT ST. Louis the distribution ex-
reeds last years and orders are free.
At Kansas City trade Is fairly healthy.
Al Minneapolis the jobblng trade is
very good, wheat receipts being double
last years and lumber advanced 81 per
1000 by the association, and ST. Paul
trade steadily increases with assurance
Of unprecedented crops. At Milwaukee
business gains, though unusually slow
collections pinch sows OF the jobbers.
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 southern points money is also
easier. and at New Orleans in ample
supply for legitimate needs. At the
west no complaints OF stringency are
noted though money is iirmer at
Chicago.
Operations in speculative markets
have been more active and wheat has
declined A cents on sales OF $4,000, 900
bushels on account OF enormous receipts
at the west, which have been at the
rate OF |, $50. 600 bushels daily for the
week thus far. Exports for the cur
rent week have been about ten times
those Of last year, though the move
ment OF flour does not corresponding
increase Corn declined cents before
the reports Of frost, and oats y cents.
Cotton has advanced notably more than
half cent during tho week ON sales OF
800. 900 bales at New York, and the
market is likely 10 be uncertain for
some time 10 come. Oats have
fallen 81 cents, and coffee OF a cent,
but no fall is seen in pork products,
which may be strengthened by the new
German decree. In stocks there has
been "a remarkable advance, broken on
Thursday by some reaction on report OF
troats.
~ he great industries are doing well,
though strikes ofimportance are threat
ened in the cotton mills at Fall river
and the window glass works at the
west. Distinct Improvement is seen in
the demand for iron and its products,
though prices are unchanged, and also
in coal. while minor metals are firm.
Tho trade in dry goods is fairly large
in all wool cassimeres and
dress goods
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the past
seven days number 2l7 as compared
with total OF 22d last week. For the
week OF last year the
fi0ures were DOR
