DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW.
The Balance Of Trade Decid-
eddy In Our Favor.
Reports From All Quarters NJ TO Agricui'
tural Conditions Universally Favor
sble-Incroascd Confidence Felt
In all the Trade Centors.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-R. G. Dun q
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says:
Business improves In all sections at
the south, partly because Of injury to
the cotton crop and the CONSEQUENT ad-
vance in the price. The wheat crop 10
out OF danger, and is enormous, un-
doubleday the largest ever grown, and
moving with unusual rapiditv. 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.
1.-THE reports from other cities ex-
press increased confidence and show
some actual gain in the volume OF trade.
] Steady Improvement Is seen ut Boston.
At Philadelphia improvement Is seen
in iron and coal, steady buying OF wool
by manufacturers, especially oil worsteds
and fair trade In tobacco and chemicals,
but collections are generally dull. Man.
ufacturing Is active at Baltimore and
jobbing trade healthy. Clothing and
dry goods are especially active and col
lections fair at Cincinnati. At Chicago
wheat receipts are four times last years;
rye, nine times: corn and dressed beef,
double ana oats show increase, while
some decrease Is noted in -four, about
one.half in barley and cured meats, and
quarter in lard. Sales OF dry goods
exceed last years, which were phenom-
Lnally large, and In clothing and shoes
fha frado Ia irnmanao
"At st. Louis the distribution ex-
ceeds last years and orders are free.
At Kansas City trade Is fairly healthy.
At Minneapolis the jobb!ng 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 some OF the jobbers.
At all southern points higher cotton
stimulates trade and collections are
somewhat better, and at New Orleans
there is 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 firmer at
Chicago.
Operations in speculative markets
have been more active and wheat has
declined ~ cents on sales OF $4,000, 600
bushels on account OF enormous receipts
at the west, which have been at the
rate OF /, $50, 900 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 II cents.
Cotton has advanced notably more than
half cent during the week on sales OF
$50, 900 bales at New York, and the
market is likely to be uncertain for
some time to como. Oats nave
fallen 81 cents, and coffee oil 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
frosts.
'1he great industries are doing well,
though strikes of Importance 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 H-m.
The trade in dry goods is fairly large.
particularly in all wool cassimeres and
dress goods.
THE business failures occurring
throughout the country during the past
seven days number 2l7. as compared
with q total OF 226 last week. For the
corresponding week of last year the
figures were 2O3."
