NEW YORK. Nov 7.-R. G. DUN &
Co. s weekly review of trade says:
Reports from all parts of the country show
that business has been healthy and large in
volume. At Boston the failure of the Nav
erfck bank caused some uneasiness, but
business continues steady and healthy,
and money is easy. The shoe trade is quiet
with better prospects, the wool business
1air with some concessions on large lots.
DRY goods are more active and crude rub
Der is firm. At Hartford wool is in moder
ate demand, the dry goods trade not so
good, the grocery trade excellent and hard
ware fair. At Philadelphia the grocery
trade Is large, wool is in better demand,
with fewer concessions than for the past
four months, the dry goods trade only
fair, but good volume of business
mas been done, and clothing has
been literally bought. The shoe trade is
satisfactory. leather and paper active. to-
bacco i'm good shape, chemicals steady and
firm with moderately fair trade in paints,
oils and glass. At Cincinnati groceries im-
prove and money fairly easy, and at Cleve-
land the outlook Is good and the demand
for money equals the supply. At Detroit
trade is healthy without imitation, and the
demand for money moderate. Western re-
ports show the receipts of a phenomen al
grain movement. At Chicago receipts of
wheat and rye are three times last years,
the increase in dressed beef is 100 per cent.
in oats and hides and wool 33 per cent. and
In flour IL per cent, while a decrease of a
third appears in corn. quarter in barley,
ne-half in cured meats, some decrease in
cheese, butter and cattle, while lard re-
ceipts are but quarter of last years.
sales OF dry goods clothing and shoes are
largely In excess of last years, and money
is in fair demand. At Milwaukee trade is
good with confidence in all branches
and money quite active. At st. Paul manu-
featuring is much stimulated by large crops.
and money is easy; at Minneapolis the lum-
Der trade is closing well at stiff prices, and
the output of flour is 5000 barrels against
1000 last year; while at Duluth receipts of
wheat in two months have exceeded those
for the whole year of 1890. At st. Louis in
creased distribution is observed, and ex-
changes in October were the largest by S4,-
100000 in any month in the history of the
city. At Kansas City trade keeps in good
shape, at o maha is active, and at Denver
improving. At Memphis business is still
fair; at New Orleans cotton receipts
heavy, sugar receipts liberal and rice steady
at Savannah trade is good; at Atlanta in
healthy condition, at Montgomery
moderate; at Charleston brisk with large
receipts of cotton, and at Jacksonville
only fairly good. The only cities reporting
monetary pressure are Omaha and Savan-
nah. The iron industry, in spite of the low
est prices ever known for some products.
shows no dependency, and the demand for
manufactured iron and steel does not dmin
ish. The copper trade is just now unsettled,
but tin is slightly stronger, though lead is
lower. Trade in cotton is not just now
equal to last years, but for the whole season
thus far it has been considerably larger.

out the country during the last seven days,

Canada, 43, or total of PCS; as compared
with a total of 25j last week, and 249 for the
week previous to the last. For the CORE
spending week of last year the figures were
2l5. representing 1Sl failures in the United
States and 80 in the Dominion of Canada.
