DUN'S REPORT.
The Outlook for Industrial Pro-
gress Good.
BUSINESS SOUTH IMPROVING.
The failures Now Are Simply the Result of
the Strain Endured During the
Panic Last Year-The Va
rious Markets.

New YORK, Oct. Or. G.. Dun & Cos.
weekly review of trade says: From ali
parts of the West and South come adyices
that business is gradually improving, and
the improvement felt in Eastern centers is
still most encouraging. There is an alb
sence in any trade of that speculative ex-
cItement and 0ver-cOnfidencc which is so
often presage of disaster Purchasers
are governed by an unusual conservative
hess and yet are large in volume Failures
are rather numerous, but are i'll nearly all
cases the result of a long continued com
nercial strain since the foreign disasters of
last November
1t IS true that the prices of nearly all
manufactured products are low, and the
margins for profit very narrow III compari-
son With last year, but the volume OF trade
Is larger than III any previous year in spite
of the fact that some branches of business
are retarded. 1t is also true that collections
in some quarters are slow, but the latest
reports from the various sections are on the
whole more favorable.
News regarding the chief industries is
decidedly favorable. The iron industry is
more firm in tone 1t is felt that the delay
in the Improvement of i demand for rails IS
at present the only barrier to general adj
vance.
The market for wool is quiet at Boston
and elsewhere, but sales are not small aud
receipts at the West greatly exceed last
year.
Boston reports good business and ample
supplies of money. At Chicago trade thus
far this year exceeds that of all previous
years. The weeks receipts of wheat are
four times last years and the wool double.
Trade is improving at Omaha and Mime
apolis, where lumber advances with I'M
precedented sales. The -four mills are fully
the output last week was the
largest on record. st. Louis, where
there is demand for money shows strong
trade in most lines.
At the South the improvement is also
general, and heavy receipts of cotton are
noted at Savannah, Charleston, Galveston |
and New Orleans |
Speculation in breadstuffs has been active |
but wheat has advanced nearly &c, with |
sales of only 90, 0O0O 900 bushels, while corn |
has declined 114c, and oats &c
Cotton is Slightly stronger and oats
higher, but coffee has fallen &c

progress is decidedly satisfactory

dIsregarded it. 1t was only fraction above

partly TO this report We advised our New

IN consequence of this rumor. How it
emanated here no one knows. Our friends
there advise us this afternoon that ~ is the
generally expected figure. If above that

below II, an advance will follow
The long interest must still be very large.
4skerwlse the market would not be as weak
'as 1t is in face of the reports of
frost damage. \ serious influence
against improvement, however. is the
continuance of the heavy movement at
ports, in the interior and locally. New
York exchange is almost unstable, thus
affecting our spot market and consequently
premiums on contracts.

New YORK. Oct. 9-The stock market to-
day was practically repetition of the last
two days, and was in the main steady. The
contest was between the bear and bull fac
tons among the local and professional trad
ing element, and after mild fluctuations in
both tirecticns the advantage rests with
the latter party. The opening was heavy
and lower. in sympathy with lower Lon
don market. Atchison bore the brunt of
the early pressure, but the entire list moved
up slowly with here and there more marked
advances.
Prices slowly crept up in the general list
until toward p. M, when the highest fig
urcS OF the day were attained, when some
OF the new issues of stock of Hooking Val
ley caused drop of nearly per cent in
that stock. TO which the rest of the list re-
sponded,; and fractional concessions fol-
lowed all along the line.
Hooking Valley, however, afterwards re-
covered all OF the loss and the general list
steadied. The market finally Closed dull
