Eastern CenterS.

Eastern CenterS.
New YORK. Nov. iS-R. G. Dun q Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: No important
change appears in the condition OF business.
The distribution of products continues
enormous. the production by the manufac-
turers Ia greater on the whole than in anv
previous year, and " lille some hesitation is
seen about entering into new accounts. gen.
eral business and industries are remarkably
healthy. Trading in cotton has been much
the largest ever known in any week but
stock dealings have been but m oderste.
AT Boston business continues large. COL
lec,ions good, money easy. In general the
situation is unchanged. excepting that wool
is more quiet The shoe trade Is in GOOD
shape and lumber active.
At Philadelphia the open weather affects
trade in heavy dry goods. Wool is very
quiet, shoes steady. iron In good demand
Money is little tighter, much being placed
al per cent No material change is seen
at Baltimore. At Pittsburg the demand for
pigiron is good and finished products are
moving freely. Plate glass Is very dull, but
other classes OF trade are unchanged A
strike in harness mandatory al Cincin-
natl during tie busy season disturbs sales.
In most lines business at Cleveland Is
good. Some large orders for pig iron have
been countermanded. There Is a strong
demand for money. Manufacturers con-
time busy at Indianapolis and the jobbing
trade Is good. Business is prosperous IN all
lines in Detroit. Chicago reports a good
wholesale trade and collections. Receipts
of corn. wheat and butter show n large in
crease. but decrease is seen in oats and
wool, dressed beet. hides, -four and rye.
l. IT, H. A.
Trade continues strong at ST. Louis, with
collections prompt Milwaukee reports
larger trade, with good demand for money.
JoDbers at st. Paul report backward COL
iections. At Kansas City cattle receipts are
large. but grain receipts light. Money Is ia
better demand and business fairly active.
Denver reports very satisfactory trade.
At Louisville trade is about the average. At
Little Rock there is a small cotton move
ment At Nashville business is improving
Sales of cotton have amounted to 200. 900
bales with an advance of &c. In wheat
and corn advances of &c were made, but
oats l4c lower. A rise of nearly 1c has &C.
Cured in coffee. Except for cotton the
speculative market has been comparatively
duh.
In the great industries little change is
seen. Shipments Of boots and shoes from
the East continue to largely exceed those
of last year. Cattle receipts at Chicago are
falling behind. Golfers are now only work
ing half time In pigiron some hesitation
of buyers is seen with cancellation or post
ponement OF orders, but the situation is con-
sidered very healthy. The barmills are said
to be near the end OF their orders. 4 sale OF
steel rails at fixed price is reported.
October exports of the principal products
were SIS. COS. $50 smaller than last year. and
in the two weeks of November the decrease
has been 100000. This fact. with n
large increase Ia exports, has caused an adj
vance in foreign exchange to 81 s7k. and
with money dearer at London ana cheaper
here thereis thought to be some prospect Of
gold exports.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the past seven days
number 240. as compared with a total OF 30
lastwesk For the corresponding week last
year the figures were 2S5.
