Gus Enect-Ciearings About Even
Reports Good From all Sec

R.G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review OF
Trade says:
The failure OF q widely known bank nj
Boston was tie striking event OF the
week, but has caused establishment
rather than disturbance. Withdrawals
.r1m New York to fortiiy Boston have
caused higher rates. Crops are moving
freely, 30 that II seems scarcely posi-
BILE that any important monetary dis
turbancc shall arise at present.
Reports from all parts OF the country
show that the business. though inter
rupted somewhat b. the elections, has
been In large volume. At Boston, the
failure OF the Maverick bank caused
some uneasinesss, but business contin-
ues steady and healthy; no lack OF conf
dence Is seen. and money is easy. A,
Cincinnati groceries improve, the ha,
trade Is good and money fairly easy.
ana ut Cleveland 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 points still show the effects
OF phenomenal grain movement Al
Chicago receipts OF wheat and rye are
three times last years, the increase In
dressed beef is 100 per cent, In oats.
hides and wool 33 per cent, and IN flour
II per cent, while decrease Of o third
appears In corn, q quarter In barley,
one half in cured meats, some decrease
in cheese, butter and cattle, while lara
receipts are but q quarter last years
Sales OF dry goods, clothing and shoes
are largely in excess OF last years, and
money 10 In fair demand.
At Milwaukee trade is good, with con-
fidence in all branches, and money is
quiet and active. At St Paul manuiac-
turing Is much stimulated by large
crops. and m Jney is easy. At Minneap-
oils the lumber trade Is closing we'll 1T
stiff prices. and the output OF -four Is
209 900 barrels against $50, 900 last year.
while 1T Duluth receipts OF wheat In
two months have exceeded those for the
whole OF last year.
At st. Louis increa: ed distribution Is
observed, and exchanges in October
were the largest by Sl,000.000 in any
month in the history OF the city. Al
Kansas City trade keeps In good shape.
at Omaha Is active, and at Denver i'm
proving.
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
diminish. The copper trade Is just now
unsettled, but is slightly stronger, al
though lead Is lower at Al cents.
A slight decrease appears in the late
shipment OF boots and shoes from Bos-
ton. Trade In dry goods Is little be-
ter. Spring woolens are In somewhat
better demand, and the trade in cottons
Just now equals last years.
Speculation has lifted wheat IL cents
though the western receipts continue
enormous. Exports for the week are
about equal to those OF recent weeks.
Corn has declined ] cent, with somewhat
increased receipts at the west, and cot
ton is ! cent lower, with very heavy re-
ceipts at southern ports Oil, pork
products and hogs are somewhat lower,
but coffee Is cent higher. The general
average OF prices is shade lower for
the week. and the markets are less EN-.
ba-rassed than usual by cliques main
tanning artificial prices.
In tie main labor Is well employed,
with few controversies about wages.
Throughout the country collections
seem to be fair for the season, and on
the whole gradually improved.
