The Commercial Sky Is without
Il Cloud.

NEW YORK, Sept. 31.-R. G. Dun & Co. say
in their weekly review OF trade:
Business continues larger than ever Mt this
time OF the wear. and the commercial sky is
without cloud. Money is everywhere in
ample supply, and collections have very
rarely been more generally satisfactory. The
outgo OF money from Western centers for pur-
chases in the country is larger than usual,
and yet there is no embarrassment Crop re-
ports are uniformly favorable and the prom
Use is distinctly better than il was a few weeks
ago. In general, business is not only large
and healthy but the outlook for the coming
month is everywhere regarded with the ut
most confidence
AT Boston dry goods are active and the
mills very busy, with the demand such in
some lines that theT cannot produce goods
fast enough. The boot and shoe trade is
very satisfactory. groceries and furniture are
active and sales OF wool much larger than
last year. At Philadelphia iron improves
with large sales. Trade i'll glassware is yerV
busy. Iron is Ill better demand at Pittsburr.
and the glass business good. At Cleveland
trade is improving and larger than last year.
and at Cincinnati the clothing trade is better
than III previous years, though n slight de-
cline is seen at the South, for the Western
trade largely exceeds previous records. at
Indianapolis general trade is fair. At De-
trolt trade Increases over last year i'll some
lines. Business is satisfactory at Milwaukee,
and crops secured in good shape.
Chicago reports merchandise sales greater
than last year, and all conditions good. Re-
ceIpts OF products show increase in every
thing except rye. AT ST. Louis trade is dis
tinctly better, and collections prompt. AT
st. Paul business is larger than year ago; at
Omaha very active; at Kansas City good,
with heavy receipts of cattle and grain, ana
elevators about full.

Coffee is an eighth stronger, but OIL is about
&c lower. Western receipts of cattle are
I75,0U0 head against 145,0O the same week
last year.
The Hebrew holidays caused the usual de-
crease lin the sales of textile GOODS the
cholera scare has diverted many buyers from
New York and it Is between seasons for
woolens. but dealings are still large. The
outlook i'll WoClenS is excellent, and sales of
wool improve here and at Philadelphia,
where The CONSUMPTION is greater than il
any other year, though some concessions
on territories and Ohio delaine are seen t
Boston. At The three markets 233 000G00 lbs.
have been sold this year, against $4,000. Geo
lbs. last year TO dale Trade in knit goods is
heSitating. Boot and shoe works are pressed
to meet their orders. Foreign exchange has
risen slightly and money has advanced to s
per cent, but no anxiety is felt. and stocks
are shade stronger than II week ago. The
demand for money at the West and South
continues smaller than usual.

the country during the last seven days num-
