PROSPERITY IN ALL BRANCHES.

New YORK, Nov. 1S.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade says no Important
change appears in the condition of bust
ness, and the distribution Of products con-
tlnues. Enormous production by manu-
facturers IS greater on the whole than IN
any previous year, and while some hesita-
tion is seen about entering into new &C
counts, the general tone of business and
industries is remarkably healthy. Trad
ing in cotton has been much the best ever
known in any week but stock deals have
been but moderate.
At Boston business continues large, col
lections good and money easy. In general
the situation is unchanged excepting that
wool IS more quiet, the shoe trade Is in
good shape and Lumber active.
Al Philadelphia open weather affects
the trade on heavy dry goods. Wool is
very quiet, shoes steady, iron IN good de-
mand, money little tighter, much being
placed at per cent.
No material change is seen at Baltimore,
while at PittSburg the demand for pig iron
is good and finished products are moving
freely. Plate glass IS very dull but other
glass trade is unchanged.
A strike in the harness manufactury at
Cincinnati during the busy season dis
turbs sales.
In most lines business at Cleveland is
good, but some large orders for pig iron
nave been countermanded. There is q
strong demand for money End manufacture
ers continue busy.
At Indianapolis the iobbing trade is
good. Business Is prosperous in ali lines
at Detroit.
Chicago reports a good wholesale trade
and collections fair. The receipts OF corn,
wheat aud butter show q large increase
but q decrease is seen in oats and wool,
dressed beef, hides. -four and rye. Money
Is in strong demand al per cent
Trade continues strong at ST. Louis, with
collections prompt. Milwaukee reports a
larger trade with good demand for money.
Jobbers at St. Paul report backD ard col
lections.
At Kansas City cattle receipts were
large, but grain receipts light Money is
in better demand and business fairly
active. Denver reports very satisfactory
trade.
At Louisville trade is about an average,
but dull in Little Rock, with small cotton
movement At Nashville business is i'm
proving. Sales of cotton amounted 10
2. 800 600 bales. with an advance Of 59c in
wheat; corn advanced go more, but oats is
&c lower. A rise of nearly l cent occurred
IN coffee. Except for the cotton specu-
lation the market has been comparatively
is seen. The shipments OF boots and shoes
from the east continue TO largely exceed
those of last year.
Cattle receipts at Chicago are falling be-
hind; golfers are all now working only
half time; in pig iron some hesitation Of
buyers is seen, with cancellation Of post
nonemenJ of orders, but the situation is
considered very healthy. The Bar mills
are said TO be near the end OF their orders,
and sale of steel rails at a fixed price is
reported. October exports of the princi-
pal products were SIS, 095, $50 smaller than
last year, and in two weeks Of November
the decrease has been S2,O00,oO0. This
fact, with a large increase in export, has
caused an advance in foreign exchange TO
4.Sg1z and with money dearer IN London
and cheaper here. There is thought to be
some prospect of gold exports.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the past seven days
number 24O, compared with the totals OF
2lO last week. For the corresponding
week last year the figures were 2o5.
